    You figure you are close to your aim. The large building at the end of the road to your left might be what you've been looking for

    Scabi steps out of the shadows and strolls through the crowd, tapping one on the shoulder as he goes ans asking a question here, one there, and happens to near one of the stalls run by a woman. Looking over the wares he says conversationally with a warm smile, "Morning. I've only recently arrived and I seem to have become turned around. Would you be able to tell me what buildings these are?"

    Pyll

    Pyll will inform the others of his plan (those that haven't dispersed) and then sneak toward the buildings indicated by the map. "Wish me luck!"

    He'll activate the greater invisibility, then cast read magic. Just in case there's true-seeing taking place, he'll also hide and move silently. He'll stay far enough away so as not to trigger any alarm or glyph. When he's arrived to within 100 feet (or, in case there is a clear indication that the masses don't come within a certain distance) of the building, he'll use the silent rod to cast detect magic, and then concentrate to maintain it while advancing for a closer look. He'll also keep a close eye out for more convention traps.

    "Oh, of course, kind sir.", the sickly woman says: "These are just the homes of a few of the people you see here. Some of them have stores inside too.", she points down the road to the row of buildings at the forking street.
    "Over there is a tavern. My husband says they have the best ale in this area... I say they have the only ale in this area.", she chuckles silently, then starts to cough.
    After she catches herself she continues: "The large one over there," she points to the large building at the opposite end of the street. "I don't really know. Some people say it's a guildhouse. They let no one inside. Being very secretive.", she coughs again, "I'm sorry but I cannot tell you much more."

    You don't know which one is the building marked on the map.

    Scabi turns to study the structure indicated and ponders it a moment.

    "Surely some of the members venture to or from it?" he says with a lilt that indicates that it's not that he doesn't disbelieve the women, but more alike to amazement. "Or servants?"

    Pyll scratches his invisible head. He was sure he'd looked at the map when Lathlan held it out, and now he was unsure which building to head toward. Must be some magic afoot, befuddling my mind. He concentrates really hard on trying to remember which building was marked on the map.

    Pyll suddenly gets the strong feeling that the whole group is in the entirely wrong place. The great building at the end of the road seems to be a guild house, as a scared bypasser tells his seemingly disembodied voice, but he is not convinced it belongs to the guild he was looking for.

    "Some people in blue and black clothes come out or go inside every now and then. No one else."

    Pyll will rush back to those still assembled and share the information he has picked up. Then he'll seek out the pandakin (should be hard to miss) and wait a second while he finishes his business, then quietly share his information as well. He'll pop visible of course, no need panicking his own comrades.

    Scabi smiles coldly a moment at the skeletal man before dropping as quickly as it came.

    "The talk of the locals lead me to believe that structure over there is the guild house." he says, nodding towards the building indicated by the woman at the stall. "They talk of those dressed in black and blue clothing coming in or out at rare intervals, but that is all that is seen."

    He purses his lips and continues, "I will go and verify. I suggest you steer clear so as not to attract attention."

    With that he strolls more or less straight to the building and leans against it and closes his eyes as if weary. Those watching him closely however see the back of his head lightly taps it, and his fingers beat a silent tattoo upon the surface as if he was reacting to some unheard beat. He'll then pause a moment before resuming.

    You hear the deep, clanging and constrained voice of of the old building coming to life, speaking in fragments: "Men.... women.... Gillad he said... Lann is her name...", the building pauses before it seems to start reciting a conversation: "...must find it. It would set an end to Cythian. - Master, we recieved message from Le....", the building suddenly stops in the middle of the word and sinks to silence.
    After a few moments the building continues just as suddenly as if waken from a dream: "Call themselves... umbra... no... shadow... resistance... Va'ra... their name is Va'ra. My name is Va'ra."

    The pandakin graciously moves up to the sellers and looks at the wares, preferably fruits.

    "Greetings!" He says to the seller. "I'm a traveler from the far east lands. I look for shelter, some food and perhaps a job." He points to the sword strapped on his back. "Would you kindly provide me with some information and the price of perhaps three of your ripe and fine fruits." He says with a smile as he puts 2 silver pieces on the table.

    "I....", again a short period of silence. "Many... many... coming in going out. This moment becoming less, becoming more... no numbers... always changing. Many! Everywhere. Above, below, next to you.", the building speaks in the tone of a confused, overstrained child but with the deep, clanging voice of an old man.

    The woman at the stand looks up to the pandakin: "I don't know, kind Sir. I'm afraid I don't have the money to pay your while. Down the street there is a tavern. The only one in this area. If you are looking for contacts, I suppose you're most likely to find someone there."
    She takes a close look at the money then starts to search through her fruits hastily, inspecting some of them closely before putting them back or passing on to the next one until she has picked out two pomegranates and three apples, all of them in a deep red. "Only the finest for you, kind Sir.", she says handing the five fruits to Hyorin.

    "Ah. Thank you, fair lady. Your kindness reminds me of my dear white land." He says as he chumps down on one of the apples. He finishes it in one bite, puts the rest on his backpack and heads out to the Tavern.

    He looks inside of his wallet, noticing just a few copper coins. "I need to exchange this gold into smaller currency." He says softly in Pandakin, followed by a sigh.

    He draws them and puts the 8 copper pieces. "Greetings, kind sir. I'm traveler from the far east lands. I'm looking for something to quench my thirst, shelter and perhaps a hint on where to find a job." He points at his sword strapped on his back.

    The barkeep, a male halfling with short, messy brown hair, wearing a simple white linen shirt, black pants and seemingly overly heavy black leather boots sits on his bar and smiles at Hyorin with a hint of surprise on his face: "People of your kind are a rare sight around here, Master Pandakin! To be honest, you are the first I have ever seen!", he stands up, now being on almost the same eyesheight with Hyorin and stretches out his hand for a greeting. "If you are looking for jobs, well I can offer you a position as a bouncer, but I'm not so sure if it would suit a travelling swordsman - or should I say swordsbear? - as you are." he chuckles briefly and then continues: "You might find something more suitable for you, if you talk to Burt Redfox. Some interesting stories he's got to tell. Though he seems a bit... off the track lately."
    The diminutive barkeep points at a man with long, messy russet hair sitting at a corner table. He seems to be at middle age for a human, his once handsome traits hollowed and his beard has not been cut for days. While his left hand constantly rubs through his hair, the right hand clings to a tankard of ale, the knuckles white with strain. His eyes seem restless searching the tavern and bearing the signs of terror.
    "I see you seem to be thirsty.", the halfling is now holding the eight copper pieces in his hand. "Or maybe you are just coming from the more central districts of Rynna. You know, around here you can get four mugs of ale of this money."

    --------------------------------------

    "You are at my shoulder now. Turn to your east and you will find my mouth. Many more mouths beneath.", the building's speech has become much clearer now.

    The pandakin smiles broadly. "I have to decline in your job offer, but I'll take the four mugs. Three for me and one for you!" He says as his face gets closer to the Halfling. "Drink for glory and for the good days." He winks.

    Once he gets his three mugs of ale, and saying thank you to the Halfling, Hyorin puts one mug of ale in front of Burt Redfox and two on the other side of the table, where he sits.

    "What troubles thee?" He asks as he position himself in a way for his sword to be seen by Burt. He chugs down on one mug, almost finishing it.
