[Ed's going to have to cover for all of this craziness. He looks to Ash, who's been eying up K'pandolu's ears and Dylas's... everything with a curious and somewhat suspicious look.]
Out of town is one way to put it. Please, just trust me on this and I'll explain it when it's all over. Right now... have you overheard anything going on? Any rumors about new people in town, or strange people showing up? Um, besides us.
[Ash considers this, looking from Ed back to the strange group accompanying him. After a moment, he nods. He trusts Ed.]
I heard somethin' about a commotion at the guild hall this morning, but I didn't get much details. Maybe you can check with Maris on that, see if she had any eyes on it. I haven't had a chance to follow up. Do you know what's goin' on there?
[Ed grimaces at the mention of the guild hall, but then shakes his head. He turns back to the group.]
If we have to follow up with something at the guild hall... You guys might have to go without me. But let's go see what Maris knows first. If anyone knows, she will. We're going to have to get to her shop without attracting attention, somehow. It's about 15 minutes walking from here. [Ed tries not to eye up Dylas too hard while saying that. But really, the whole group is going to stick out just based on their Hero outfits alone.
Ash doesn't know what's going on, but he doesn't like how Ed's acting. Something bad was up and we wasn't about to step away from this.]
