"Hey you're barking to the choir, Thunderhoof," Podge says. "I liked Melodie, but the rest of their family were crypt-dwelling creeps." "Barrow-dwelling creeps," Elton says, hauling himself up onto the roof. "The Palyses took care of our dead. And Thunderhoof, you've seen what happens when no one guards the barrows." "Hey El, which tribe murdered half the Indians and stole their magic cave back before the Three Families showed up?" Podge asks. "Don't put that on me, Patrick," Elton says. "And we need to focus on rescuing Melodie." "But we know where Melodie is?" you ask. Elton nods. "She fled when her family died," the theurge says. "North of here, little nowhere town called Ashfield. Nin scouted it but she couldn't find Melodie, and couldn't explain what was so weird about the town."
