The priest nods, “I see, my apologies. We do not often get foreigners in Vallaki, so it is not often that I meet those who have not heard of the Morning Lord. Please, allow me to explain. You see, the Morning Lord is our one true hope in these dark lands. He guides us and shelters us. Each sunrise signaling a new dawn. However... many are scared in these times. Day has not come in some time. Yet, even in these times, he shelters us. This church, St. Andral’s Church, has been a haven for those who seek hope. The Morning Lord has protected us from the darkness that surrounds us.” You notice a ting of sadness as he tells of the church’s protection. However, you also see a sparkle return to them as his gaze catches Davmorn’s holy symbol. He continues talking to Grim, “If you do not mind my asking... just who are you?”

Bry takes a few swigs off whatever alcoholic beverages are available to him, before standing and addressing whoever was left behind, "I'm going to go have a look around town, see what sort of festivities the town has planned. Anyone want to come along?"
As Bry steps out into the muddy, mist-blanketed streets of Vallaki once more, he suddenly realizes that Urwin wasn’t kidding when he said his bar was probably the must fun to be had. The people just seem to meander about. There’s an underlying sense of tired urgency, like everyone’s just tired from having to keep up appearances for so long. However, at the same time, there is definitely a calm. There isn’t that same general chill you felt in Barovia. The threats of wolves or hordes of zombies or some other horror-fueled monstrosity aren’t as prevalent here. You see people plastering up pale posters of a burning sun, while others are just talking amongst themselves. The only crowd there seems to be is the one that is surrounding the middle of town. You can’t tell from here what’s going on, but there is some commotion happening, but you can see a guard walking toward you with swift purpose.
Adanmar will reach later Urwin when the barkeeper will be more duties-free. He wants to know, well, simply what just happened, what they did just so wrong for the guard. He will talk about this even with Rictavio as well, what did they know of the situation basically.
He then follows Bry outside the Inn to have a look on the town.
Urwin quietly tells Adanmar that Izek is a bully. If he doesn’t like a conversation, he stops it. If he doesn’t like someone, he arrests them... or worse. He’s been given near absolute power by the Baron to do as he pleases. His word is the Baron’s word. It got even worse a few years back when he spontaneously grew that demon arm. Now he has an otherworldly power to back his political power. Rictavio maintains his cover and says he doesn’t know much about the town and that he arrived but a week ago. He doesn’t like what’s happening, but what’s he to do. He is a simple carni.

Bry looks to Elwarith, "Looks like a party, let's go see who's playing the fiddle shall we?" Bry says with a nod toward the commotion in the middle of the square. He then turns his gaze back and begins walking that direction.
OOC: It's a metaphor, at a party in days before cell phones, tv's, etc a person playing a fiddle would have the attention of the party. So the fiddler here would have the attention of the crowd.
Grim takes a bow, "My name is Grim Darkstone, last of the Darkstone bloodline," he stands and looks the priest in the eyes, "survivor and enemy of the Gulthias tree."
OOC: So I may have missed there was a guard walking towards me. In that case I will simply ask him who's playing the fiddle for that commotion.
The guard steps up to you blocking your view of the commotion, and looks back to the crowd as you ask, “Such is the punishment of those deemed maliciously unhappy. Regardless, Captian Strazni has formally requested a meeting with you. He has requested that you choose the meeting place. He made a point to mention that he wishes for you to come alone.” And the guard waits for your reply.
Grim takes a bow, "My name is Grim Darkstone, last of the Darkstone bloodline," he stands and looks the priest in the eyes, "survivor and enemy of the Gulthias tree."
The priest returns the bow, “I cannot say I am familiar with what that is, but it certainly sounds important. Are you three adventures?”

Bry speaks up to the guard, using a tone that might be just a bit too loud for a commonplace conversation, so that Elwarith can hear his reply "Well, A meeting with the Captain all by my lonesome, that's truly an Honor. I am new to town, tell me where would the happiest place in town be?"

“The captain told me that if you could not decide, then he would like to invite you to the Baron’s Mansion for a conversation. Should I tell him that you will take him up on his offer?”

"Oh wow, The Baron's Mansion" Bry says in his elevated tone still, "I accept, it's not every day you get invited to a mansion after all, when are we meeting again?"

"One Hour!" Bry says excitedly "Well I need to comb my hair and find a seller of sweet perfumes, might you know a place my good man?
By now, the guard is starting to think that you might not be entirely genuine. You can see plainly on his face, the squinting eyes, the pursed lips, and the set jaw. “Can’t say I do. You seem like a smart guy. I’m sure you’ll find a place... Don’t be late.” With that, he turns around and walks back into the crowd.
"Well me and Davmorn are," Grim says smiling, "The lovely lady with us is under our protection."
[MEANWHILE! IN THE CHURCH!]
The priest nods, “I see... May I talk to the two of you in private for a moment?” The priest leads you two over to a corner and speaks in hushed tones, “Forgive my hurriedness, but I have something to ask of you. You two are the only capable men that have been through Vallaki in decades, plus one of you is a fellow man of faith. Allow me to explain... you see, this church has been protected for ages by the blessed bones of St. Andral, the very saint this church is named after. Not even the devil himself could breach the Morninglord’s protection. However...” The priest looks down, ashamed, “they’ve been stolen. And I need help. I won’t put my congregation in danger and I can’t tell anyone from here or else the word will get out. Panic would take the town like wildfire...”

"A thief that has stolen something that keeps this town safe, huh," Grim murmurs. He then lets a wide smile take his face, "Davmorn does that mean I can have fun with this one?"

((So, is Bry ignoring the guard walking toward him?))
