Reprise! Act 1!

[Carthrat]

"Sun'y'Dale," grunts back the barkeep. "There's big flamin' signs at every gate, how can you miss it?"

[Ginnezumusha]

"Yes, but where is "sunnydale?""

[Carthrat]

The barkeep shrugs. "Just off the coast. To the west, there's the port town of Boa'tsurus, and to the east likes the capitol.

To the south is a road leading into the Mystic Forest, or so it's called. Not many people come from there, and the people that do are always weird.

To the north is some other village. Don't know what it's called, don't really care."

[Ginnezumusha]

"I see... so is there an adventurer's guild, notice board, town crier, that sort of thing?"

[Carthrat]

"There's the union hall," replies the barkeep. "Damned pack of useless idiots. Can't even catch one man when they're needed as constables. But I suppose they could tell you more."

At that remark, Carthrat-chan sneezes violently.

[Ginnezumusha]

Ginn finished his stew.

"Excellent stew, it's been a while since I've had a warm meal."

Thanking the barkeeper, Ginn walked outside and looked for the union hall.

[Rezantis]

Walking down the stairs, Relm placed the water jug on the bar and waved to the barmaid.

Noticing Carthrat, she gave him/her/it a surprised look, then shrugged and headed towards the door.

[Carthrat]

Finally packing up all of her gear and stashing it back on her person (with a certain few items chosen for easy access), Carthrat-chan stands up and quickly catches up to Relm. "Hey, uh, can I have a word?"

[Rezantis]

Relm paused.

"Yes?"

[Carthrat]

"You're a traveller, right? Which way's the nearest town?" Carthrat replies. "I mean, I'm, uh, new around here, so to speak, and don't know which way is which."

[Rezantis]

Relm eyed Carthrat appraisingly.  "Boa'Tsurus is probably the closest, it's a port town to the west.  But you don't really know where you want to go, do you?"

[Carthrat]

"Well.. uh, no, no I don't," replies Carthrat, chuckling.

[Rezantis]

Relm smiled wryly.  "Well, when you work out what you're looking for, I can tell you roughly where to go."

[Carthrat]

"Heh. Well.. I'll be seeing you, then, won't I?" replies Carthrat, opening the door for her.

[Rezantis]

Relm chuckled as she stepped out the door.  "Maybe.  Fare you well, then."
