You're racing down a dirt road as the village around you burns. You swore you were sleeping just a moment ago but now you feel the terrible heat of the flames and hear the cackling horde closing in from behind. A collection of green, and teeth, and claws, and yellow eyes pursue you; Goblins. You look down and realize that you're carrying something they want; a large, glowing stone. Fire dances across its surface and it somehow seems realer to you than everything else around you. You scramble past a sign that reads "Sooner's Field" just as the creatures catch up to you and rip and tear and bite and burn you - you wake with a start. It was just a dream. Or was it? You have the strangest feeling; like someone just walked over your grave. And your bedding is smoldering...
You do your best to ignore the dream, but it comes back - each time more vivid and worse than before. It robs you of your sleep, and begins to eat at you. The flames feel hotter, your muscles ache like you've been in a fight, and the last time - you actually had some bruises, cuts and burns - obviously something more serious than a dream is afoot.
It doesn't take much research to turn up Sooner's Field. You learn that it's little more than a dot on the edge of civilization, but you get the feeling that something or someone wants you to go there. So after gathering your limited funds and resources, you journey North - past Tathor and the northern borders of the Phoenix Barony, following the King's Road (along the King's River) toward Sooner's Field and whatever awaits. Over the course of your journey, you come across an odd assortment of lone travellers, and as you get to know each other, you are shocked to learn that each of your new companions have been driven here by the same dream - and the same determination to learn more and get to the bottom of this.
Your journey is a lonely one, but oddly - an uneventful one. You don't encounter a single soul on your trip north, and odd omen, to be sure. The cold and clean river provides all the water and fresh fish you need, and game is plentiful. Before you know it, you have arrived, just past mid-day - you see a small village of modest houses, and a wide expanse of fields of various crops - all healthy looking and well cared for. And as you approach the edge of this settlement, a chill inadvertently goes down your spine as you see the same sign as in your dream: "Sooner's Field". A hard packed dirt track leads into town. (See the map in the MAP thread.)

About 1000 feet ahead of you lies a large two-story building that is unmistakably an Inn. A wooden sign hangs over the door bearing the image of a plow and sickle. You see people walking about here and there within the village. Just past the Inn (SEE AREA 2 ON THE MAP) there is a small wooden platform and a two merchant wagons with a handful of people milling about. It seems tranquil and quiet - but as you survey the surroundings, you plainly see that this is the location of your disturbing dreams...
You are 1000 feet from building 1 on the Sooner's Field Map. Actions?
