After a hearty breakfast tell Naomi that we may have another customer today for magickal identification services and describe Wilf's mother (ask Naomi whether she knows her). Top up purse to 10 lions. Head off to arrive at Wing and Prayer a bit before 2 candles after dawn.

[[Granny doesn't know Wilf's mother, but is eager to meet her as the first paying customer of the shop's new service.]]
As Guilliame starts on his way toward the Wing & Prayer, he sees the owners of one of the neighbouring shops—a paper supplier—busy nailing boards up across their shutters.
"Have you heard the latest news, Guilliame?" says Mister Fini.

"A Seeker was killed yesterday, and they are saying he was killed by a worshipper of Arion."
Fini turns and looks up and down the street before adding, "And that will be all the Mithrans need to get the king to agree to their demands, so I'm taking my family and leaving town for a while before we get thrown out... Or worse."
He then adds, "I don't know about your beliefs, but you need to tell your grandmother to be careful."
Fini then goes in to his shop and Guilliame hears him calling out to his family to be quick.

Go back to the shop and warn Naomi. Knock on next door neighbours on both sides and let them. Ask if they anything else.
OOC Mum's broken her arm and has been in hospital - they needed to put a plate in her shoulder. She is much better now and is expected out tomorrow but that's why my moves have been less regular.
[OOC: Sorry to hear about your mum, and we both hope she gets better soon.]

Go back to the shop and warn Naomi. Warn the neighbours on both sides that there may be some troubles on the streets. Ask if they have heard anything other than what I have relayed.
[OOC: From before: 'Top up purse to 10 lions'. There wasn't the right change in the shop for a topup, so I've had him take 1 constantine instead.]
Guilliame knocks on the doors of his neighbours and warns them about potential dangers in the street. When he tells them why, the reaction from the house on the left is one of disbelief. However, the neighbour on the right side says something along the lines of 'it's about time' before closing their door.
He then re-enters his own home and finds Naomi preparing the shop for a normal day's business.
"You're back early," she says, "has something happened again?"

[OOC: The following is what Guilliame was actually told: "A Seeker was killed yesterday, and they are saying he was killed by a worshipper of Arion." I will assume that this is what he told Naomi, please let me know if this is not the case.]
"Fini?" says Naomi, looking a little shocked. Then she regains her composure and asks, "A Seeker you say, it wasn't that Lomani woman, was it? I thought she was a decent sort."

"I don't know who it was but Fini said it was a follower of Arion, not Donai like Lomani. Do you think it will as bad as Fini says. He is boarding up the shop."
"Hopefully nothing," she replies, "but I really don't know. The Mithrans have been calling for this for a long time, but what they would do if they do manage to get the king to agree is anyone's guess."
Then she goes on to say, "But nothing's going to happen quickly, is what I reckon. And besides, Fini's a bit of a worry wart, so I think you staying in the house today isn't warranted. It's not like you're even a follower of the old gods, is it?"

"I'm not. Just worried if things get out of control or someone tries to make use of the unrest."
OOC Is there a source of news other than pub gossip that is available at times like this?
[OOC: There is no press, as it were. Candle callers can be paid to call out other messages when they do the rounds calling the new candle, but those messages just tend to be promotion of particular venues in operation at the time (e.g., "It's five candles after midday and it's time for a drink at the Sundown Tavern."). It is possible to just stand out in the street and proselytise, but Guilliame suspect if the views expressed doing this were too antiestablishment, then the speaker would be shut down pretty quickly.]

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I'm going to go out and have a look around but I won't go to far. If you see anything unusual then shut up the shop. I'll knock 3 times quickly then another 4 times after a pause if the door is locked when I get back."
Go to the back of the shop and make sure doors and windows are bolted.
Have a look in the street and see if there is anyone unusual or more or less than the usual number of people. If things look reasonably normal then head out towards temple of Donai.
Granny Naomi looks a little surprised by your request and as Guilliame confirms there is nothing strange going on out the front of the shop, asks, "Should I close the shutters? I did open them up as normal."
