Tock is also very much interested in finding out of there is a temple of Tymora in this city. He keeps looking around as they traverse into the city to maybe spot it by chance.
It is difficult to tell in the dark, but asking a bard idling strumming his harp outside of a tavern, they determine there is no temple to Tymora in Colizargus but there is a shrine.
The last few three nights that Gash has contact Neventi, she has said they are close to concluding the talks and does not have time to chat but passes her love on to Gentoa.
Dog tips the bard two coppers in appreciation. If the shrine has any open space nearby, Dog will suggest camping there with the tiny hut. Less comfortable but staying out of inns away from prying eyes is likely a good idea. He thanks Bulwark for his nightly sentry duty, and has been doing his best to fill him and Stones in on all they know about Genny's story, the prophecy, the unicorn, Bael's devils, the hosts of heaven, the druid, Mentiri, the zombie lady, the cavern, the peaceful valley, the pursuit of hellspawn, the confrontation in the town where the minotaurs took Nev and Genny, and catching up to where they met up in the labyrinth. It's not a direct narrative because Dog isn't a good storyteller - he'll relay bits of the story in dribs and drabs. But they are along for this journey and he wants them to understand what's going on.
Bulwarktilts his head after Dog finishes. "Curious: The road does seem fraught with peril. I will assist you to the limits of my ability. It is my duty after you reactivated me."
Wait is the open space in the shrine or right nearby? I meant if it was near the shrine, not in it or on top of it or like on the lawn of it! But hey we can roll with it - I guess the hut hides us eventually ...
The horses, haphazardly tied to stakes around the carriage, still look conspicuous next to the even more consipcuous opaque dome planted in the occasionally cultivated public space near the center of Colizargus. Despite the hour, a small crowd gathers, trying to peer into the dome, gossiping among themselves, or becoming friendly with the horses. Before too long, the crowd attracts the town watch.
"Go wake up Fengal," says one of them in annoyance.
(I had originally thought we should sleep in an inn but I thought dog made a good point. But this is worse.)
”Everyone. Wake up. We’ve drawn a crowd. The circus would be jealous if they could see us now. But this is a problem. We shoulda slept in the inn... oh boy wake up everyone.”
As they awake Gash will cast Disguise Self and take the appearance of a strapping looking blonde man with short hair. Chiseled jaw line. Very conceptually handsome prince in fairy tales type.
“Hello Mr. Watchman, sorry about the dome here. We were just uhm well my friends and I just came to pick up my daughter and we were going to go out on a bit of a hunting expedition and before we took her into the Wild we wanted to show her what camping outdoors was like. We didn’t mean to cause a bother”

"Wot's the problem, sir?" Dog says to Gash's new form, as he steps out of the hut, scratching his head, mouth a bit slack and not projecting much wit. "Did we set up camp inna bad place? Do I need ta move everyfing? Little'un's just got settled again. Inn'd be quieter, maybe. Not sure who suggested camping in the middle of a city, dey musta got dust in the brainpan."
(If this officially helps and grants advantage, awesome. If not, that's fine too, it's entertaining.)
"Stranger," says the watchman in clear disbelief. "I don't care what your reason is, you may not camp in the middle of Colizargus. Please have your mage dispell...this." He turns to his partner and says in a teacherly tone. "Griff, what is the penalty for being a public nuisance?"
Griff thinks for a moment and his partner waits patiently for him to answer. Griff is clearly not the brightest watchman in Colizargus. "A fine. I think 3 gold? And if not paid, then 3 days in the city jail and a censure."
"Good," says the senior of the two, He eyes Gash and says, "And that is 3 gold per person over the age of 14." To Griff he says, "Once they have dispelled their magic, take all of their information and report the citation to the courthouse."
"You can pay your fine in the morning," the senrior watchman says to Gash, "when the courthouse opens. Failure to do so will result in censures in Colizargus, Hencha, Pioza, Tordeda, and Parus. Such censures may result in a steeper financial penalty in those cities and mandatory jail time in Colizargus if apprehended."
With that, the older watchman stepped aside to talk with one of the townspeople and let Griff take Gash's and Dog's information, including:
full name
age
race
city of residence
travel destination
what is their business in Colizargus
whether or not they are citizens of Alcion
do they have outstanding fines or warrants
If Gash drops the tiny hut, these questions will be asked of everyone else except Gentoa, who wakes up grumpy.
Dog makes very polite and apologetic noises to the watchmen, and reluctantly goes back to the tiny hut, leaning his head and torso inside, mumbling first that he'll try to wake up the little one and rouse the others. (I'm assuming that the hut blocks sound in addition to light and all magic.)
Even if the hut blocks sound, he'll speak quietly to whoever's inside. "Alright, so, we have the town watch here and they're telling us that it's apparently against the law to camp out in this space and want us to dispell it and move along. They're asking everyone a bunch of questions of who we are and why we're here. And we have to pay 3 gold per person as a penalty, when the courthouse opens in the morning. I'm happy to pay everyone's fine since it was my idea to camp here, which I now realize was a terrible one. But someone, perhaps Stones, might be able to talk them into letting us off with a warning if we stop being a 'public nuisance' and move along since we had no idea this was against the rules. Gash's story to them is we're friends with him and Genny is his daughter and we're camping here to prepare her for a trip into the wilds. I thought we were well-hidden here but obviously not and my whole goal of staying away from prying eyes at an inn, well, apparently it was foolish."
full name: Greogory Greenhorn - Yes, my father was a Greenhorn and passed the name down, unfortunately I didn't have the skill or build to be a paladin like he was.
age: 30
race: Human
city of residence: Pioza
travel destination: Tamsarus
what is their business in Colizargus: Picking up my daughter for a camping trip and for her to see the family business -- I run the circus.
whether or not they are citizens of Alcion: Yes.
do they have outstanding fines or warrants: None to speak of -- very upstanding citizen.
Tock is suddenly excited about all the possibilities. He casts Disguise Self and appears as one of the girls they haggled with over horses and llamas. He imitates her voice and mannerisms as well.
"I'm Elice and I'm almost 14! Dad thought it fun, but my sis is too little to remember any of it. I don't at least - he keeps telling me that he did a similar trip with me as I was much younger as well."

Passersby and patrons to the shrine stare at Gash as he begins to prepare his spell.
"Um..." says an old lady who has come to pray at the shrine.
Wait is the open space in the shrine or right nearby? I meant if it was near the shrine, not in it or on top of it or like on the lawn of it! But hey we can roll with it - I guess the hut hides us eventually ...
Not in the shrine but it is still in the town.
"Yes, yes, a hut will do nicely here, the gods shall protect us."
