    Jens will follow along as well, but also ask Maeni, "You asked around earlier correct? Any specifics as to where this fisherman can be found?" He will also check to make sure the collective didn't get overextended in their travels, and rejoin anyone who is supposed to be in the collective that may have moved out of range.

    A lot of movement happened so Jens will try to reconnect anyone who is supposed to be in the collective who isn't. This may be a needless worry but Flair and Dorn may have been taken out of range during the stint with the artist so making sure they have active connections.

    Flair and Dorn are back in the collective, but not Brother Jaume. I will assume that you check out the thingy on the hill. The party goes along the footpath behind some of the houses to the base of the hill, and up.

    On top of the hill, you see a 12-foot-tall lith with stranged, weathered runes that seem to face the center of town. The object is mostly cylindrical, but the side of the stone facing the center of town has been ground down into a flat surface carved with enigmatic symbols.

    Flair and Dorn (and Maeni) look over the lith, but can gain no insight.

    From this hill, Maeni muses out loud, but soon realizes this is the westernmost of the three islets paralleling the shore of Thrushmoor.

    "If we are so close we can start asking the local passers-by. Eventually we should get an idea as to where are lost fisherman is." Jens says aloud to the others before looking pensive, "Though searching a nearby bar or tavern wouldn't be the worst idea. Perhaps whatever he saw spooked him badly enough to drive him to drink."

    "So," says Dorn, "we don't ask around for him, we simply ask for how to find The Stain."

    It will take a half-hour of asking around and just walking to find the Stain on the western side of town.

    The oldest tap house in Thrushmoor, the Stain has catered to local and foreign customers for longer than anyone in town can remember. The proprieter, Emman Gulston (male human), an ex-merchant marine captain and a man true to his word, has become something of an emotional anchor to his fellow citizens in the current crisis.

    What now, as you stand outside The Stain? If you go in, what is the plan? Go in en masse?

    A bead of sweat runs down the cheek of the portly friar. His hands are gripping his staff tightly, knuckles white.
    “...I think...maybe I should wait outside.”

    Flair nods. "Good idea. We don't want to irritate our employer any more than we already have." He turned to the party "I'll head in and see what I can find. We should probably keep the number of us in there to a minimum as to not to draw too much attention. Or at least stagger the rate at which we enter to not scare any potential informants away. Any objections?"

    "I will also wait out here. Hopefully my previous self only had one altercation in a liquor selling establishment, but a pinch of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Jens says before continuing, "Besides, if I stay with Jaume and you don't wander too far, I can keep us all in contact with the collective."

    Flair nodded. "Sounds good. How about you Maeni? Do you want to come in and help try and find out what's what?" After getting a response, he would similarly ask Dorn on if he'd want to head in or not.

    Dorn, Maeni, and Flair go into The Stain. There will be several folk scattered about in quiet twos and threes. There is almost a physical aura of reproach as these little clusters hunker closer together, worried about being contaminated by the outsiders.

    At the bar, is a broad, ebulliant, well-whiskered man of later middle years.

    What do you do?

    "For you? Water. 'Course, I ain't had a priest bless it or nothing, so who knows if it has cholera," says the barkeep.

    Aldo nodded. This wasn't a big town, so the barkeep knowing his employer and her no alcohol policy wasn't surprising. "In that case, do you know where we could find one Toli Remsatter? We've heard that he saw something outside of town and we want to investigate the matter."

    Emman looks at Flair, then looks up and to the side as if to think, then back to the three in front of him. "Have you ever seen a candle on a table, and find your eye drawn to it? If find I am likewise focused when I see something shiny in front of me."

    On the table now is a single platinum and 7 silver. Emman takes the platinum, but leaves the silver to Flair. He points to a couple of fishermen hunkered together, but one in particular ...

    Flair nods and walks over to the indicated crowd. He grabs a chair and sits in it backwards "So" he says, his hands on the chair's back. "I hear you saw something. Mr Remsetter", he asks jovially.
