Vinc showed a little bit of uncharacteristic haste as he hopped out of the merchant's wagon behind Nomis and Sin, a scarred hand rubbing at his bare, marble-white chin. "Now let's see, bell tower, bell tower... there it is!" Shifting the package that held all of his armor, weapons and travel gear on his back, he made his way towards town hall. "Let's see the mayor, and see if one of you can talk us into some free rooms."

There are a few people still on the streets, including children that ran about between buildings, but the heat keeps the way mostly clear for you. The walk was short, and the shortcut through the park was actually quite pleasant since it includes a pond filled with fish, and after just a few minutes the three of you were in reception room of town hall.

A two floor building, with a three-floor bell tower attached to its western side, Sheered Wood town hall was a substantial building for a town this size. Once you were past the heavy doors engraved with wood-stained carvings of oaks, you could see there was a large room meant for town meetings just past the reception desk, at least two small rooms attached to it, and a stairwell on the eastern side leading both up to the second level and down to a basement. The meeting room could easily hold seven hundred spectators and had a sunk-in stage with a podium and seating for town councilors, though right now it was empty aside from a pair of lazy cats snuggling atop the podium.

At the receptionist desk, a sharen woman with bronzed skin and near-black hair sat fanning herself, but when the three of you enter she immediately sits up and closes her fan up. "Oh, visitors! Welcome! What brings you to our town on this... lovely summer day?" Her tone is light, and she seems to be genuinely curious despite the strained cheer in her voice. While it was better indoors, it was still warm enough that even mild work could leave a person sweating.
