> Frown.
> Head back into the main tavern area.
> Make for the entrance, but put an ear up to it and listen instead of opening it blithely.

>You frown and make your way back to the front of the tavern. Placing an ear to the door, you don't hear anything unusual.

So.

Any ideas?

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #522 on:** July 20, 2011, 10:24:01 PM »

Um...not really D:. Do we know anyone good at pickpocketing that could outdo Tewi?

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #523 on:** July 20, 2011, 10:27:05 PM »

Feel free to ask! :V

>You walk toward the Temple, Mystia following along. The town is as empty and quiet as you would expect, not a soul stirs and not a single light is on the whole way. The temple, too, is unlit and silent; its doors closed.
