Blumenthal's Town Square

You're in the town square. It's relatively large, and rather dirty. It features a small animal pen full of goats. As you walk through the square, you see a noble attempting to show off to a group of lovely looking commoners.
There's a beuraucrat ( Starosta Judus Olessia) that's trying to calm an angry crowd. There's also a noticeboard, which has various posters, requests, and announcements tacked to it.
Notice Board
Tainted beef from three different cattle farms in Blumenthal has killed several people in Rexxentrum. Crownsguard investigators concluded that the meat was intentionally poisoned and hire the characters to find the culprits. Why hire outsiders? The Crownsguard in Blumenthal is on the list of suspects, since they escorted the meat to Rexxentrum. Of course, the list of suspects doesn’t stop there. Did the farmers work together because they abhor living under imperial rule? Is there an agent of the Kryn within Blumenthal? Is someone using enchantment magic from afar to make farmhands poison beef? One thing is for sure: the culprits are willing to kill and won’t come quietly.
