Venna felt her heart drop when the sounds of anguish came to a halt, only the sound of the breeze breaking the silence for a few moments before the rider came out and charged off into the distance towards the forest with her horse. "Wait-!" She tried to stop the woman before she got too far out, but he'd efforts were in vain. The bard closed her eyes and turned away from what could possibly be the last time she would see the woman. With a soft, sorrowful sigh, she turned back towards the tavern and followed in alongside Adrian.
When her gaze traveled up from the floorboards, she noticed the same thing he did, the look on the barkeep's face, accompanied by peculiar actions. Without hesitation she approached. "You know what it is, don't you?" She paused, staring directly into the eyes of the frightened man. It may not have been clear to all, but she was scared as well, just more filled with concern than fear. "What do you suggest we do." She asked firmly. If he knew what it was, he likely knew what would be the wisest course of action. Should they remain there and wait? Should they hide? Should they run? Judging by the horrifying sounds she at first assumed to be inclement weather, she knew fighting would likely not be an option at all, which, at least to her, was a relief.
