Kuublu is willing to pay. He takes out 3 small silver ingots they received while making their purchases and makes an offering. (Is he being cheap?)

"Of course toil is a virtue to be respected. We are also honest folk working hard and traveling hard. We are hungry but we do not seek charity. We are honest men who are willing to pay for hospitality." Saying that uruka takes out a small gold ingot and snaps it in half and says," I hope u do not find this too trifling."

An older woman shuffles forward dressed in a colourful beaded wrap, " Not at all, every bit helps.", she grinned as she passed the precious metals back to the men behind her.

"We are going to find the tax collector who disappeared at this 'magical place'. Is it inhabited by jungle spirits? Do you think that he may be alive?"

“The tax collector drove his cart through here just before dawn a few days’ ago, as though Death were right behind. Only a short time later, two armed men came through on an ox cart. They must soon have caught up with the first man. Some time later, the tax collector’s ass came limping back into the village.”

Ilwe the smith ambles over with a wooden bowl of palm wine in his hand and takes up the story: “I caught the poor beast’s reins myself. It was stumbling about and rolling its eyes—shivering like it’d been running hard all night."

“The other two men drove back just a while after that,”
says the old woman. “They paid none of us any heed, just bantered with one another in the nervous manner of men who’ve done an evil deed. They glanced at the ass as they rode by, and one of them grinned at the other and patted the bags piled in their ox cart.”

" The tax collector was probably butchered by the two men, or he ran from them and stumbled into Hilis Bonde and the Bone Farmer got him."

"The bone farmer? So he grows mens bones? We are bound to find him and lay his soul to rest so that he can return to his ancestors. And there is the matter of a family weapon in his possession that must be returned to his family. We are obliged to regain that."

Curious, Chiemeka asks, "Who is this 'bone farmer'? Is he a man or some form of evil spirit?"

"Tell us more about this bone farmer and where can we find him," Uruka chimes in.

At the questions all the villagers gathered around and threw answers back at the trio.

" Hilis Bonde is a valley up in the hills to the north of the forest outside Orha village."

" It is enclosed by a fence of yellowed bones and iron rods that Osain is said to have put up one night long ago, to keep the evil of the valley forever trapped inside."

" The place is permanently shrouded in mist, so that beyond the fence one can usually see only a blanket of grey. Even on the hottest days of the dry season the mist maintains its grip on the place—it rolls back from the fence, but is never gone entirely. On such days, part of the valley lies revealed: a clammy place of tall black grasses where wisps of sickly white mist move through the long grass like snakes."

" ‘The Bone Farmer’ is the our local name for the monster that lives within the Dell."

" My grandfather said he’s a shrivelled old man with a one eyed giant’s head."

" No, he is a great serpent with wide jaws and of such a size he can blot out the sun."

" My mum said he's a great hairy ogre with a necklace of skulls and eyes on the soles of his feet."

"He is said to wander the hills in the guise of a man in white linen robes, and lure travellers into the mists of the valley."

" No the iron and bone fence keeps him trapped within the valley."

" Bah! He is a powerful witch, he can use sorcery beyond the fence!"

Listening to the villagers the trio note a certain degree of almost affection in the villagers voices even as they speak with fear about their local bogeyman.

"It seems that everyone has a different perspective of the bone farmer though the fact that everyone's description of the place seems similar. It seems we have a problem identifying this farmer. What if we check the place out after we eat?", Uruka asks his companions.
