Description
There was an old man who used to come into town to buy supplies rather frequently, but I haven't seen him for quite some time now. He lives out in a shack overlooking Raven Hill cemetery, if I remember correctly. Perhaps you should go see if something is amiss.
Completion
Elaine Carevin? Hehe, oh yes... of course, the Carevins.
No, nothing's wrong but it is hard for me to go into town now. The roads are dangerous and I'm not getting any younger. Maybe you can do an old man some favors?
