They should be more willing to offer up useful information without payment. She was just a little taken aback by the sight of the executioner's platform to the immediate right, while to the left was what was mostly like the inn: the Winking Skeever.

Haskell gave the others a nod. "Mm-hm, sorry about that," he looked between them and Alit, who had quickly taken to questioning the first local guard she saw, "So the Harbinger is really just... gone? I was about to start heading back to Whiterun, but I hope no one minds if I join in the search instead."
