Seeing that youâre standing your ground rather than trying to flee, Rafau switches tactics, lunging at Drakor with a powerful blow. But given how nervous he still is from Zelshâs threats, Drakor is able to take advantage of his focus on self-defense to deflect the blow with his dueling dagger.

Meanwhile, back at the Watchâs headquarters, Valtyr returns a few minutes later.
âApparently whoever it was left a note tied to the fence Starday night,â he says, pointing at the fence surrounding the headquarters. âEr, it mightâve been Sunday by the time they left it. I dunno why they did it like that, youâd think it would be easier to just show up with a report. Supposedly whoever left it was really worried about the man leading the cult.â
From the âsupposedlyâ, and his tone of voice, it doesnât sound like heâs personally reviewed the note.

Canary winces at the pulsing pain in her legs as she continues, a likely result of unusually long periods of walking and standing after a decade of being hardly mobile.
oh! whoops, sorry, I missed your post, thanks for bumping it
(donât worry I wasnât sat here thinking you had abandoned my solo story because the fight was much more entertaining.)

It doesnât take long for you to make your way to the same Caydenite âtavernâ run out of some guyâs house that you heard about from Wanderer yesterday. Enough people are still at work that itâs not overcrowded, but it seems to be a reasonably lively establishment; besides the people who are just chatting, thereâs someone juggling painted wooden rings, a pair of men competing to see who can hold a large weight out in front of them for longer, and a couple of groups playing different card games. The bartender is currently giving someone advice in a hushed voice, but he takes a brief break to refill a customerâs mug when requested.
(the temptation to screw this person over with mage hand is unreal)
I take a deep breath⌠and begin to scour a place I can join in.
Because it. Is. For. Them. So. I. Have. To.

(Is anyone flanking rn?)
(not currently, you could 5-foot-step one square right and then you would be flanking)

âHm.â Rika grinned with a satisfied air. âAnd yet they didnât provide any additional information about him at all. Sounds to me like that anonymous tip-leaver was deeply involved with the case. Hey, whereâs your co-worker?â
The card-players would probably be happy to let you play cards with them! (Especially if youâre bad at cards â theyâre gambling for money.)
Apart from that, thereâs a woman drinking alone in the corner, where at least you wouldnât be interrupting anything, and a group of people with a couple open chairs swapping stories who donât seem to know each other particularly well (and thus might accept a stranger joining in).
âWith your friends. The half-orc, and the⌠other half-orc.â

(Iâll do that, then power attack with my warhammer)
Drakor snorted. âNot so confident now, are you?â
(Hey, donât forget Wanderer, the other other half orc!)

I awkwardly shuffle into a place at a table that I think is playing the simplest game.
Considering my attire, my hair, my⌠everything⌠I couldnât look more out of place. Or. New.
I just hope the fact they see me as a chest full of gold works more to get them to⌠speak.
