"Certainly, we have enough space. Rooms go for a gold piece a day," Arthur explains.
As the party deals with payment, the Human woman approaches them. "You're from out of town, aren't you? What brings you to Cryfopolis?"

"Daos Moore," Daos says with a polite nod. "My companions and I are an adventuring group, and we're just passing through as we search for work." He didn't like lying, but with Moonbeam after him, as well as the fact that anyone in this town could be a spy for the Night's Breath, it was better to play it safe. He looks the woman over, trying to get a bead on her. "And you are?" he asks.

"Oh, I'm just a merchant of sorts," she answers. "I don't get out of the city much, so I like to spend time here and hear stories from travelers. Any thrilling tales of adventure to tell?" she asks coyly.

Caelynn raises an eyebrow at the woman, but she lets Daos handle her. Instead, she looks to Arthur, and asks him if he has seen anyone that matches Marcus' description.

Listening to Caelynn's description, Arthur nods cautiously. "...yeeees, I believe so. Actually, I think he ordered a room, here. Paid up front, too--which was lucky for me, because he was gone by the time I woke up the next morning. Why do you ask?"

"Well, Miss Merchant, we did run afoul of a strange beast, like a large cat with a pair of tentacles sprouting from its sides, and it seemed able to make itself appear in two places at once," Daos answers. "It was a difficult fight, but in the end we prevailed."

"How long ago was that?" Caelynn asks. "He's an old friend, and I had heard he might be back in town."

"Oh, dear! What a horrible creature! I've never heard of such a beast!" the merchant declares. "What else?"
"I think it was a month or two ago," Arthur answers. "I haven't seem him since, I'm afraid."

"Oh, uh....well, before that, we encountered a small traveling caravan that used a mimic of all things for defense," Daos recalls. "A mimic is a creature that is capable of changing its shape to resemble any mundane object, like a chest or crate. Somehow they managed to capture and tame one. Anyway, they were attacked by bandits, who captured and tied them up, and then when they tried to loot the cargo, the mimic slew them all. Unfortunately, the mimic was not capable of untying the merchants, so we had to lend them a hand when we came upon them."

"Thanks," Caelynn says to Arthur before returning to Daos and the merchant woman.

"Incredible!" the merchant woman says. "Oh...I think I have a meeting to go to. Thank you for speaking to me!" She waves goodbye to the party and leaves the inn.

Daos sighs in relief when the woman goes. He was running out of stories, and he didn't feel he was very good at telling them to begin with. He turns to Caelynn as she approaches. "Everything good?" he asks.

"I was asking about Marcus," Caelynn says. "He has been here in the past couple of months. I might go check the other inn later to see if he has stayed there as well."

"Do you need company for that, or should the rest of us remain here?" Daos asks her.

"I'll leave that up to you," Caelynn says. "I know the city pretty well, so I know my way around.
