Adrien nodded along to Damian as he critiqued their intrepid leader's attitude towards the whole affair.

"Info gathering is probably best for now, I'll follow you then."

Following Damien to the nearest tavern, Adrien kept a close eye out for anyone actively observing them, but it seemed like nobody cared even the slightest amount about the newcomers in the city, giving them a wide berth and not more than a moments glance. Even the glares from the patrons when they entered the tavern seemed to be more about the youthfulness of their faces rather than them specifically.

Crossing to the bar, the barkeep gave Damien an almost incredulous look as he looked him up and down.

"Righ'o kid, 'eers ya ale, don' be 'urlin' on m' bar y'ear"

The thick accent, typical of the seafarers of the coast, made it a take a second to parse exactly what he'd said. After passing Damien his drink, he turned his head to Adrien and raised an eyebrow.

"The same, thanks."
"Righ'o, 'eer ya go."

Returning to his neverending task of cleaning the glassware, the barkeep followed up with more questions.

"Wot brin's ye folk t'me bar? Ne'er seen ye's roun' 'eer 'afore."

The trip had been quite short in the scheme of things, but Illedrith was thoroughly looking forward to a warm bed and hopefully a hot bath to precede it. Like the others, her questions on arriving were cut short by the Mayor as he led the group back through town. A quaint town, and well designed, Illedrith nonetheless had concerns about its structure given the present circumstances. If a fire broke out in town, the centralized and concentrated pathways that led through the city would likely become a river of bodies trying to escape down it, which could lead to people being trampled to death, and would certainly decrease the combat efficiency of anyone trying to fend off, say, the angry dragon which started the fire.

This would require further thought and planning, but at the moment she just wanted to rest.

Fortunately, this seemed to be on the cards relatively soon. The Mayor clearly showed off why he was in charge around here, outlining the history of the problem and the current state of affairs succinctly and simply to the group. After he asked around for questions from the group, Illedrith felt Ceri's eyes on her and despite her fatigue figured she should get their ball rolling on the hunt for the beast.

[color=fff79a]"Perhaps if you could provide us with a map of the area, with where there have been attacks, what was taken, etc. As well as providing us with any insights or decisions you heard from the other groups who came through? I can't really think of anything else at the moment, so unless anyone else has anything, I guess we'll just do our best to keep in touch."[/color]

[color=a2d39c]"Yes, yes, we can organize that for you. What's your plan for tomorrow?"[/color]

[color=fff79a]"Unless anyone else has any ideas, I guess we'll split up into groups, and have a look around the area, see if we can't find something to follow up on, verify these attack locations ourselves."[/color]
