 "I apologize, but I cannot afford that right now; as soon as I make enough money, I shall return. Do you have any contact method or anything?"

 They fish out a small rolled up parchment from their satchel, handing it to him. "Mailing address is listed here, as well as my more permanent shop. Reaching me by bird or by sending is the fastest way to communicate, but I also don't mind if you decide to turn up at the shop!"

 "Thank you. If you see a giant owl, it will be a message sent by me, most likely. Have a good day!" He walks off to a supplies shop.

Quote from 50thAltOfBananer >>

 “Thank you…” Kaos heads to his room to unpack his stuff. 

 The room is located on the second floor at the far end of the hallway. It's not extremely large, but around the size of the average hotel room, with a larger twin sized bed pushed into the corner and an old wooden bedside table next to it. There's a dresser and a single desk up against a thin and tall window, the leftmost wall painted with depictions of raptors and other dinosaurs. The floor is completely wooden, but there's a thin rug under the bed.

 Kaos doesn’t pay much attention to the room itself, spreading his things across the floor in a messy order. He glances out the window, looking for anything interesting. 

 Perception check.

Quote from Balthoran >>

 "I shall look for deputy Kisame then thank you for your time sheriff." Cain says as he goes out to look for kisame

 Walking around the back of the building, Cain sees the rest of the area is dedicated to an almost jail-like area, metal bars and a stone wall separating him properly from the inside. Just behind a chainlink fence is a grayish-skinned woman with her hair braided neatly, similar to the other people he's seen in this city. She wears a wide brimmed hat and a badge, with black tattoos stretched across her skin in vine-like patterns, her brown coat faded from age but otherwise unmarred. She's sitting on a wooden chair, legs folded, reading some kind of newspaper.

 "Hello miss I assume you are deputy Kisame?"

 She glances over through the fence, tipping her hat. "That would be me. You need something? Sheriff's inside, if it's an emergency."

 "It isn't an emergency it's just an inquiry I believe you would be better suited to answer miss." Cain responds

 "Bye! Have a good day!" They call out, waving.

The supplies shop is a bit less extravagant, run by a tiefling with a bandana covering the lower half of her face, two bandoliers of what seem to be vials of acid crossing her chest. She nods as he approaches. "Welcome to the single stop chop shop. What can I do ya for?"

 "Any bundles for adventuring?"

The man smiles, “well I could rustle up some folk to catch or kill a creature. Also heard something about silvering my weapons, leads me to believe you’ve go a werewolf problem.” He smiles, 
“now, I’m not gonna spend my hard earned coin silvering my own weapons. If you can convince your weaponsmith and this fine town to gather some silver, say for 6 or so weapons, I’ll grab a group of folk looking like they need a job and go fight em.  Otherwise, I heard something about folk gone missing and that is my speciality, finding and recovering missing.”
He ponders a moment,

“I think I get a crew and try em out with an easy job, then you have the silvered weapons ready and we go take care of that werewolf  problem.”

 Kaos sees something a bit strange, a flicker of movement to the left out the window and between two buildings. Someone in a very well disguised cloak seems to slip into the shadows, their silhouette the only thing visible, as well as the reddish stain of blood on the edge of their cloak. 

Other than that, he spots the Prince he met on the ship in the market district, as well as an ongoing race down one of the streets between two raptor riders.

 "Well you've got my attention." She stands, making her way over to open the gate. "And what would that inquiry be?"

 "Any bundles for adventuring?"

 "Plenty. You looking for the cheapest option, the anxious traveler's option, or the weak immune system option? And what sort of terrain? I've got maps as well."

 Kaos raises an eyebrow, marking the place he saw the person in the cloak in his mind. He then walks back down to watch the raptor race.

 "Werewolf problem is a bit of an understatement." He sighs, adjusting his hat. "Plenty glad to have some help, but I can't be just handing you six or more silvered weapons on the hopes you don't die out there. I've got some minor jobs out posted by some of the locals, mostly about missing people and one rather nasty murder case my deputy is still working on, so if any of those are of interest to you you're welcome to check out the postings indoors, or go talk to Kisame around back. And I'd be happy to lend you a few silvered weapons if you've at least shown you can handle yourself first. I'd like to meet this crew as well, if I'm going to trust you to return those weapons when you're finished with the job."

 Kaos raises an eyebrow, marking the place he saw the person in the cloak in his mind. He then walks back down to watch the raptor race. 

 Kaos catches the race around the midpoint, as he sees the feathered raptors whiz past down the track, riders hunched over and holding on to the reins. The leftmost raptor has dyed white feathers with teal paint down its sides, a checked black and white bandana wrapped around its neck. The right raptor is a more ruby red, with darker underscales and jade tinted feathers, its flag more of a golden and vermillion color. Kaos finds himself in a cheering crowd, some people actively holding up coinpurses as if betting on the race.

 "Dragon hunters?" She frowns a bit. "You looking for revenge of some sort, a specific person, or something altruistic? There's been.. well, a very, very recent development involving dragon hunters. Three of them, to be exact. Sheriff and I have been holed up here until we can get the warrants to start searching in the tunnels."

 Kaos turns to whoever’s next to him. “This a big deal or something?”

 Cain laughed and says "I'm not altruistic by any means I merely want to wipe dragon hunters off the earth."

 Next to him, a tall scarred lizardfolk with metallic blue scales, looks down at him and grins. "Depends on what you mean." They say, pausing to cheer with a load roar. "Big deal in thee grand scheme of things? Wouldn't say so. But it's fun. Raptor racing is damn hard to do."

 Cain laughed and says "I'm not altruistic by any means I merely want to wipe dragon hunters off the earth."

 "Might have your work cut out for you then. Wyrm hunters train to hunt your kind-- you're not going to be able to face a full troop of them on your own. Hell, even I wouldn't." She waves a hand dismissively. "Don't get yourself killed looking for them. You've got a bit of gearing up you need to do anyways, from the looks of you. And at least one other person to watch your back."

“Fair enough friend, trust is earned, not given and I don’t even know what I can wrestle up with the new folk in town.”

He heads to the back to find Kisame and maybe Kaos. “Ah, I think if we combine forces, we could achieve more worthy tasks Kaos.”

 "Well thanks for the information I have a job to do and I need to find a few people to help me out with it."
