40th through the 42nd day of Corellon's time in the 22nd year of King Ulodannan Wolfswift (Days 35 through 37)

40^th through the 42^nd day of Corellon’s time in the 22^nd year of King Ulodannan Wolfswift (Days 35 through 37):  The party feels a certain bond now with the Silverkin family, and the family certainly feels a bond with them, especially Baron Silverkin and his wife.  They remain in Linden, staying at the keep, now seen as “the Baron’s heroes” by the villagers.
Then the Baron calls them into his presence.  He tells them he has a favor to ask.  There have been reports from Shadowlea, a village on the southern edge of Woodlea Forest, near Dracmead, of stock unexplainedly going missing.  The villagers expect the Baron to “do” something.

The Baron is pretty sure that it is just the normal loss of stock to wild animals and the villagers have just let themselves become convinced that something strange is going on.  He is pretty sure that there is nothing to the reports.  But, he asks the heroes if they would go to Shadowlea to investigate and find out what’s going on.

The adventurers agree.
