Two men walk into the tavern. Both human, middle aged, and dressed as the poorer citizens of Midway would dress. Dirt on their clothes and hands suggest time spent preparing the spring fields for planting.
One sits at a table near large windows overlooking the lake, while the other buys food and drink. The two then enjoy their meal in silence for some time.
"Unnatural," says one between bites. "We don't get paid enough to deal with that.."
"I don't want to talk about it, Golik," says the other, disgust clear on his face. "Just our imagination," He adds weakly.
Golik laughs. "Enough of that, Tarn. We need to tell someone."
"Who?" says Tarn, setting down his fork with a scowl and a glance around the tavern. "One of those adventurers? I don't trust a single one of them."
Golik shrugs. "Then a Guildmaster. Someone. I don't know."
Tarn shakes his head. "Excuse me, Mister Guildmaster? Shadows jumped out at me and Golik. Would you hold our hands until the sun comes up?" He shakes his head again. "Let it go, Golik. It was nothing."
Golik takes a drink, muttering between gulps. "What if they'd been coming for us?"
"Then we'd be dead." Tarn scowls, and takes a long drink from his mug.
"I thought it was just our imagination?" says Golik. Tarn stares out the windows in silence for a moment.
"We just stay inside at night for a bit," says Tarn. Golik nods.
"We should tell someone," suggests Golik again.
"The weren't looking for us," Tarn says stubbornly, then adds, "let's finish here and get back before the sun starts to set."
The two men finish their meals without another word to one another, then get up to leave.

*Bliss speaks up before they go*
"How big were the shadows?"

The two men pause at the sound of the voice, looking at each other before looking to the speaker. Tarn mutters something under his breath.
"Ahhh...well.." stammers Golik. He looks to Tarn before speaking again. "About like this." He holds a hand about six inches over his head, indicating perhaps six feet. "Came outta nowhere, they did. Two of them, black as night from head to toe, and with swords as long as each was tall." Golik stops, clearly uncomfortable.

"Can you tell me whereabouts this was? For what it's worth, I believe you entirely."
Her tone indicates she's taking them seriously and she flashes a coin in one hand as she talks.

Both men eye the coin, then exchange glances.
"It's not..." starts Tarn as Golik speaks over him, "We can show you, for the right price. Say...five silver?" Golik smiles.

"I'll make it five silver each if you show me and tell me anything else you've forgotten.
The Guildmasters do take things seriously here. Any time you have information and you bring it, I'll ensure you're paid.
Lets go now so you are both back home before the sun sets?"
*she moves to rise, popping one last strawberry in her mouth before she does and smiling*

Both men smile, now.
"Each?" asked Tarn. "What could it hurt? It's on the way to the fields, anyway."
Golik nods, adding quickly, "Before the sun sets." He and Tarn lead Bliss out of the tavern.

*Bliss stands, tips the tavern keep, adjusts her swords on her belt and follows*

*galdor who was sitting at a table reading listening to this conversation stands up as they leave and follows cautiously staying far enough back that he won't be noticed*
