RL is very overwhelmed by all the people and planning which are things he has no experience with after his relatively quiet time in the forests. He slinks off to the side around a building and goes looking for Gnasher. He Wild shapes into a mastiff and spends an hour or so playing with Gnasher to calm his nerves and escape from the stress and anxiety of the camp of humans. He keeps the playing to the confines of the camp since there is a danger of running into foes outside it.
It is about 3 hours before sunset when the party finally locate RL having great fun with Gnasher. :)
Esa and RL in warhorse form are heading to Marl to do a bit of a reconnoiter with the rest of the party way back in reserve to be called on if needed. Esa will cast invisibility on herself when they get close to Marl.
Could we go in mastiff form, stealthier but not as fast, 80 dashing movement and advantage on perception. RL still has an hour of this wild shape left.
Augustin will pay the woman, but to listen to what she has to say and what she knows. Sometimes those in the streets here and no more then what is said behind closed doors.

Marigold tucks the 12 copper pieces away, and pulls Augustin by the belt into her home and closes the door.
They chat for a while about the town, nothing seems too out of the ordinary, just normal gossip, until Marigold mentions one of her customers has a strange amulet. Not many people wear jewellery, anything they have is sold, so this was unusual. Augustin asks her to draw the symbol and she looks around and, lacking paper, draws it in the ashes of her fireplace.
Augustin takes a deep sigh and sweeps it off the table.
it appears what we have some unsavoury guests among us. It would be in everyone’s best interest to share this information, we’ll be sure that your contribution to the cause does not go unnoticed. However now is the time for discretion.
RL reverts to normal form. After spending time de-stressing he says it's not a great idea for just our 2 spell casters to go, our 2 least perceptive members against hundreds of troops, traps and imps with patrols out looking for scouting behaviour. At this point we all go or no one goes
Esa scowls. "Then you don't have to come. I'm sick of standing around waiting for people to decide. There are jobs to do here as well, and taking the entire party means losing time and stealth, something we can't afford to be without."
Marigold nods. "So are you sure you don't want to... you know.. I don't want you to think you didn't get your money's worth."
Augustin *nods*. I’m afraid I must focus on other things than myself currently. Consider it a token on my appreciation for your time and knowledge. The sooner I can sort this mess out, the sooner I can relax.

You notice an absence of ravens, and people running around killing spiders with flies and mosquitos looking on approvingly.
Update:
If I have this right:

Augustin will try and make himself a known target in town to draw out anyone engaging in extra curricular activities.

The village prostitute, Marigold, is trying figure out what extra curricular activities you are after. She tries the direct approach.
"Just one silver piece, handsome!"
"More silver for dipping arrows Marigold? That's the spirit" says grimbald.
"I am community service minded after all," she winks. "So how about you, sir Dwarf? Any silver for the war effort?"
All used up Im afraid.
She looks disappointed. Then perks up and says "I'll take 12 copper instead, special price for you for being so nice."
Augustin will pay the woman, but to listen to what she has to say and what she knows. Sometimes those in the streets here and no more then what is said behind closed doors.
Augustin stops do the math…. Wait? what?

Esa is fine with it, and takes up a mounted position on RL's back. "Onwards, my steam!" She orders jokingly.
RL pretends to be a horse and trots around the centre of town
Esa scowls. "Then you don't have to come. I'm sick of standing around waiting for people to decide. There are jobs to do here as well, and taking the entire party means losing time and stealth, something we can't afford to be without."
