She was cleaner than she'd been last time he'd seen her. “What are you thinking about?” she asked.
Sahl was cautious. He looked around to see if the meeting was observed. He knew that the fugitive Kreemon had intended to link up with Korsica, and he was wary of the man. Also, he thought that Korsica was being hunted by the Baron's men.
“Hello Korsica,” Sahl said, with a small smile. “I was thinking many things. I was thinking that it is good to see you safe. I was also thinking that you are looking good so you must have found somewhere safe to live. I was thinking where a woman on the run could be hiding out. I was definitely thinking if Kreemon Fangly was with you or close by, but mostly I was thinking, did you meet me by chance or were you looking for me?”

Mindolpha had been doing better the past day or so, though she was sunk in a depression that made her difficult to talk to. When they came within sight of the temple, they saw that a huge crowd was gathered around it. A priest at the door tried to shoo them away, and as Sahl and the others got closer, they heard him yelling that there was no substance to the rumors. One did not have to wait long to find what the rumors were. People were talking about a miracle-worker, or a witch, who could produce fire and water out of nothing, and who had cured a high priest of an old wound. Stories flowed back and forth across the crowd, and by the time they'd made the third or fourth round, Ardithplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigArdith

The Winter Fair was coming close, and much of the town was absorbed in preparation. The fair affected innkeepers more than anyone else, since fairs and festivals provided the majority of their business, and the Winter Fair was the biggest. Competition was getting serious more than a week in advance. Every inn and tavern was cleaned from top to bottom, unless they were trying to attract a different sort of crowd, in which case dirt was added in strategic places, and spiders were encouraged to spin webs in corners.
The fiercest competition by far was between the two largest inns in town, the Andan Huerten Trader's Lodge, owned by the baron, and the First Knight Inn, owned by Sir Jerenil. Johannesplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigMaster Johannes Eltermann

He currently wears good-quality traveling clothes with matching boots, a belt, from which a dagger hangs, and a cloak., sitting in the common room of the First Knight, frequently heard Sir Jerenil talking about the baron's unfair practices, what with redirecting fair traffic past his inn, and having gatekeepers and guardsmen advertise for him, but at the same time, Sir Jerenil was paying certain guilds off _not_ to work for the baron. “I have to do something to stay afloat,” he said when asked. “Otherwise the baron's going to run this place to the ground. We won't let him get away with that, will we?” The barmaids laughed. They knew the game well.
There was a good side to this for current patrons of the inns. For the same money, they were getting the finest food and music in the barony, as chefs and musicians vied with each other for the most lucrative jobs of the season. As good as they were, though, regular patrons knew that few of them had much of a chance. Both Sir Jerenil and the baron already had their eyes on specific people, and they were fighting over the employees, not the other way around.
With the Winter Fair only a week away, the weather wasn't about to give anyone an easy time. On the first day of Saulturithagon, in the middle of the afternoon, it started to snow. The snow was light, so people went about their business, but an hour later, it suddenly picked up and became a full-blown blizzard. Windows were hastily boarded up, shops were closed, and teams of struggling horses dragged bags of sand to the shore to keep the icy water from flooding nearby homes, and to weigh down ships that had lost their anchors. One ship didn't make it ashore. Most of its crew was lost, but two members managed to row to the docks in a lifeboat. They wouldn't have made it had it not been for the shoreward wind that nearly capsized them over and over the entire way.
The next day, the blizzard continued, only tapering off after dark, and as soon as people were able to wade through the chest-deep snow, news began to spread. The mysterious healer or witch being questioned, held or exorcized in the temple (depending on who was telling the story) had caused the blizzard, people said.

The Sign is a three inch circle of copper with a large onyx in the center, obviously quite heavy, but and the blizzard was vague, but the coincidence was too clear to ignore. Stories were told of great blasts that had destroyed all the windows in the temple (though no one thought to ask why this hadn't been noticed before the snow), or of intense flames that had melted holy artifacts, or of magical winds that wiped away the pentagram made to hold the witch at bay. The stories became more and more dramatic as the night wore on.
When the city woke up the next morning, there was already a major effort underway to clear all the snow before the fair. Temporary jobs were posted in every tavern at cried out at every corner. People were needed to shovel and haul out snow from every major thoroughfare in the town. The path leading from the east gate, past the Andan Huerten Trader's Lodge and to the main fair grounds was cleared long before any other, and somehow, it took the longest to clear the path to Sir Jerenil.
The town worked through the night, but by dawn, the snow was already beginning to melt. By mid-morning it was quite warm, and by noon it was swelteringly hot. Men who had been working in winter coats the day before now worked shirtless, nailing spikes into the mud for tents, and trying unsuccessfully to get poles with numbered flags on them to stand up straight.

The Sign is a three inch circle of copper with a large onyx in the center, obviously quite heavy, but's magic seemed to have brought more people to the fair than had ever come before. Usually, three or four representatives came from each village to pick up whatever unusual supplies were needed, participate in competitions whose prize was a seasonal reduction in taxes, or just enjoy the scenery of the city after a good harvest. This time, it seemed like each village just picked up and left, setting up camp outside the city. There were thousands of tents along the road and in nearby fields. The baron and landed knights were no doubt making a killing renting out plots on their land. Rumors had spread far about the priestess who could heal wounds with a touch, create fire and water from nothing, cause great blizzards and bring flaming hail from the heavens, control minds, kill with a touch and then raise the dead by breathing life into their mouths.
At the gates, guardsmen sang the praises of the Lodge, while private hires always just happened to be within earshot when they marveled over the wonders of the First Knight. All along the route that had been redirected to the Lodge, people offered samples of the food in the First Knight, bragged about the good prices and fine music in both inns, and talked about the chance of meeting the baron, who was going to stay at the Lodge for the duration of the fair. The second-rate musicians who hadn't earned prime stage time at a good inn played along the main road, enticing people one way or another. In the end, business was split roughly equally between the two inns, as it was almost every year.
Miraculously, the fair was set up in time. People were exhausted but happy, because they'd been paid more in the past couple days than they usually made in three months. This year, they could really enjoy the fair instead of watching it as spectators. More residents breakfasted at the taverns than ever had before.
The Fair was about to begin.
