Pursuit of the Sun 1.2

- My brother Arno and I met this fellow in a tavern, - Voldemar nods towards the drunkard and recounts the details of their conversation with him, but doesn't mention the potion.
- We found it strange that some stranger decided to "help the poor guy" so readily. Of course, this didn't prove anything, so we decided to investigate.
- Arno went with him, and I quietly followed behind.
- Instead of one "acquaintance," they were met by three...
- Well, I wanted to quietly approach and observe what was happening, but this guy - he points to the scoundrel. After all, it was him who jumped out first, right? - noticed a noise and "called" the others, and two more. Some man and a woman.
- Well, we had no choice... Five against two. Axes, daggers, a club... And the woman wasn't just anyone... A witch... In short, three of us are no longer with us, the woman managed to escape, and this one... is here...

Then Voldemar tells about the place where the skirmish took place and indicates the direction in which the woman fled.

-- What an adventure you've had... -- Raul is surprised. -- We've also made some progress. One of the poor fellows in the church said that he was advised to go to a certain "holy place" deep in the slums, and that's not too far from the crossroads where the witch disappeared... But I highly doubt that this is the main lair.
- It's all good, guys, I'd even say you've done well... -- the burgomaster clasps his hands around his head and looks at them with a tired old man's gaze. -- But I'm afraid that this witch is causing quite a stir right now, so we'll have to act quickly. You, -- he points to one of the guards, -- run to the sheriff. And you -- he points to the scoundrel, -- immediately tell everything, or you'll end up on the stake.
- I don't really know anything, -- the scoundrel perked up noticeably when they left the slums. -- Steph and I were just looking for poor guys and handing them over to that witch... We gave them the potion, and they went crazy, but I don't know what happened to them after that. She threatened me! The witch! She can get into your mind, and I've seen THINGS!..

not really, but I just forgot about it, as the day suddenly changed. if it's possible to do it retroactively, then yes, if not, then no.

- I didn't think so, - she says. - It was nice to play with professionals. What are your plans? Although, I suppose you and your team will have enough work for the next week.

-- Plans? Don't say such scary things, it sounds like a military operation. Personally, I just drink wine, play games, and do what I like. But you're right, while there's such a good time, there's plenty of work to be done. Tomorrow we'll play in a tournament, will you join us? We can snag some richer knight.
