You head down the path, which is a dirt road about 4 feet wide. Tall grasses, trees, bushes, and other plants grow alongside the trail, occasionally creeping into the trail, causing you to have to step over a root or push aside a branch or leaf. The trail winds down to Delphi, a lower elevation than you were previously before, nestled in a valley between rows of mountains and hills. A stream flows through the valley, which you have to cross over on a few occasions, walking on bridges made from laid down logs.
After about an hour of hiding through this terrain, you reach the city of Delphi. The city is fairly small, barely qualifying as a "city." You estimate there being between 1,000 and 2,000 residents of Delphi. No one seems to pay much attention to you, all heading their own specific way. Some notice you, but don't stop for more than a quick glance.

As they walk into the city of Delphi, Pittheus uses prestidigitation to clean his clothes and boots from the dirt and dust from the road. "I know we are on a short schedule, however if we come across a book store or library, I would appreciate the opportunity to have a look," Pittheus looks to the others, "What do you all wish to do here while we are in civilisation?"
Acacia's eyes light up at Pittheus' casual use of magic. "Woah, how do you do that?" She waves her own hands in a poor imitation of what he did, but nothing happens.
Pittheus chuckles, "Oh, yes, sorry," he casts prestidigitation on everyone else to clean up their clothes, "Just a little trick I picked up years ago during my studies. I could show you in detail sometime. However did you know, it's rather interesting really and I'm not sure why it is, but not everyone can cast magics. I'm not sure if it is a hereditary ability or divine intervention, but it's interesting that not a great deal of people can cast spells. I'm sure I have some notes here somewhere if you'd like to go through them," he starts riffling through his bag, muttering more on the subject as he does.
Acacia hangs onto his every word. "I can cast a few spells, but they come from my bow, not me. Without it, I'm pretty useless at magic." She gestures to the bow on her back. It's made of a dark wood and has small twigs and leaves sprouting from it in several places. Intricate carvings and runes cover the entire surface.
Turning to look at Zoe and Aster, she asks, "Do you guys know how to use magic? Aster, you did that healing thing on the Oracle, right?"
"In a way. I know no magic myself, but I have the knowledge of how to craft a number of magical contraptions that I can then use as effectively as any other mage."

"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
"Hmm, I've read of those that utilise nature's power to cast spells but never met anyone that can, interesting," Pittheus scratches his chin, "I would very much like to ask you a multitude of questions at some point." He then looks around at the assortment of buildings and shops at their current location, "So what did we wish to do here? I would very much like to visit a library, but understand we are on a deadline. I need no supplies, what does everyone else need?"
A man takes notice of you standing in the middle of the road. He looks at you, and makes his way over. He is wearing a light-grey cloak, with the cowl pulled over his head. He is a middle-aged man with short-grey hair. His muscles are weak, and his head is hunched over forward. He walks with a brown cane, and moves slowly.
"Hello,"He says, "Who may you be?"

"You don't normally get visitors that look like us? What do you mean, sir?" Pittheus says before realising he did not introduce himself, "Ah, yes, I am Pittheus."
"Small groups are rare,"He says, "Three is the most common amount of people if they are in a small group. Larger groups are more common, journeying in caravans, most often."

"Ah,"Zoe says, "well, we've just been up the mountain, need to gather some supplies before we head off. I don't suppose you could point us in the right direction?"
Zoe nods as they come to a relative conclusion, and takes the path for Delphi.

"Err," He says, "Not to be rude, but ones who travel in groups of four, one who has metal covering their body, and another who is a dryad."
