He wasn't asking for a guild master, so it only took a little convincing to get one of them to go inside. Soon, Tilluri came out.

Kreemon stepped away from the guards and replied softly, “Actually no, but we have a few mutual acquaintances, one of whom spent time in this very building – not of his free will. I believe you know of whom I speak; he would like to have a little chat with you, if you would be so inclined. We could repair to the Silent Tavern for a nice meal and conversation. He said that he bears no ill will towards you and just has some questions that you might be able to answer. Would you please join me? It won't take long, I am sure.”
Corporal Tilluri gave Kreemon a measured look. He was clearly weighing the possibilities. “I'm sorry. I have duties to attend to here. Perhaps another time.”
Kreemon took out one of the smaller gemstones, a shining opal of high quality. “Perhaps you would reconsider. It will not take much of your time, and if you know him at all, you know that it is best to remain on his good side. He really just wants to talk. I think it is about something that was taken from him that he wants returned. A simple matter that you may be able to help him with.” Kreemon rolled the gemstone around his fingers. “And be smartly compensated for your time.”
Tilluri eyed the stone, balancing the danger with the reward. Danger won. “I really am needed here right now. You know the mess Maelbourgplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigMaelbourg

Kreemon sighed and said, “If that is how you would like to play it.” He pocketed the gem. “I will let our acquaintance know that you refuse to meet with him.” Kreemon smiled. “You know how understanding of a person he is, especially taking recent events into consideration. I am sure there won't be any repercussions to you, or your family, for disrespecting him so.” Kreemon then turned slowly and began to walk away, giving Tilluri time to stop him.
“I'm sure you're right,” Tilluri said, and returned to the safety of the guildhall with enough haste to belie his calm demeanor.
Kreemon walked away and climbed over the ice into the first alley. Once alone, he transformed into an owl and returned to the guild house, looking in the windows. Tilluri stayed in the entrance hall for a few moments, then went deeper into the interior, where Kreemon lost him. He flapped from window to window, peering inside where the shutters weren't too thick. He found multiple offices, probably those of guildmasters or other high-ranking members of the guilds. In the expansive structure, most rooms didn't have windows at all.
Kreemon returned to the alley and became a man again. He held the ribbon in his hand and said, “Tilluri refuses to meet with you. I've discovered the general area where he is stays in the guild hall if you want to visit him. I'm returning to my chores.” He let go of the ribbon, and it flew into the air. When it was out of sight, Kreemon returned to gathering supplies, pulling clean bones out of the laundry vats and dumping fresh bodies in. When necessary, he drained and clean out the vats, before refilling them with ice.

I plan on leaving town soon. It's just gotten too crazy here, and want to convert my wares to a type of stone that I know I can get a good price for in Huerton. What do you have in onyx?”
“Onyx? That has become a popular stone of late. But I was given the impression that you were selling.”

The jeweler's eyes went wide. “Of course. I'm happy to trade,” he said, grinning nervously. “Just… I should let in some fresh air. It's a bit stuffy.”

The man glanced in the way the merchant had gone. “Don't know. That way, I guess.” He wasn't pointing to the back of the house, but rather, up the street. For his answer, he got a smack on the side of his head. “Shut your trap,” the other guard said.

[This map is obviously missing a lot. There aren't huge open spaces in Maelbourg.]
Maelbourg is a walled town in the Barony of Huerten, with a population of approximately six thousand.

This allowed him to cover ground in the alleys quickly – the ice was much less of a barrier – and he could step through barrels, fallen boards and other obstacles.
However, he became all the more conspicuous. While he could escape all his pursuers, cries of “sorcerer” followed him through the town, making a clear trail for any priests or members of the guard.
