He listened as he ate, for any news of his activities the day before.
It seemed that people spoke of nothing but.
The town as a whole was getting edgy. The innkeeper grumbled about the lack of customers during the night, and about a pair of barmaids who had refused to work the night shift. People were barring their doors, children were kept inside, and there was a general notion that no one was safe. Three fishermen claimed to have seen the ghost of the bath master out on the lake. A cooper, in for a quick drink, spoke of scratching noises in his bedroom. A blacksmith muttered something about people making a big deal out of nothing, and, although there was a vocal concensus among the morning's patrons, not a one of them seemed completely confident.

Three quarters of a mile from the lake, and a fair walk from the Temple, the area seemed isolated from the rest of the town. There were even places, here and there, where tall, narrow segments of wall had been built to seperate the poor quarter from its merchant and guildsman neighbors.
It was also clear that the law was less influential here. Not so much that people ran about, mindlessly committing crimes, but it was obvious from the smell that the regulation to keep animals on the main roads was not too closely upheld, and it was obvious from sight that several unsanctioned businesses were rooted here.

“Actually, I only need 150 attles. With all of the murders and talk of ghosts and such, I was able to negotiate a good deal. This precious stone should cover my collateral, I would think.”

He has a place uptown with townsmen and priests and the like, about two hundred yards from the temple. Ask for Regaile Alpen. They'll know him around there.” Then he yelled out to the barmaids. “Let's get these drunks out of here. The bar's closed until someone with money comes in!”

There were also a few slitted vents on the second floor and on the verticle ends of the pitched roof.
