"It is good to be here at last!" Metrius says as they reach the city. "Grateful as I am for the ride, there is definitely such a thing as too long in a caravan."
Metrius considers the points Fimble raises. "A good point, it might well be worth a little discretion. Perhaps we should go shopping at the market and see how many people are coming and going from the building. If they've got a fair few visitors anyway then I doubt we will raise any suspicions."

"You boys want to go shopping?! Now that's some undercover work I know I can handle. Let's go."
Babette will drag the guys along while she browses through the various vendors, heading towards the Council building. If she can find someone selling scarves or hats or some such thing, she'll make a big fuss about trying on various items, giving the guys a chance to check out the building.

Kith had originally been a bit annoyed by the immediate talk of shopping, but once the true intent was made evident he couldn’t help but feel foolish. It was a great idea obviously, and he spent much of the time belaboring himself about being so quick to judge. Doubting that he could be convincing as an actor he actually threw himself into the shopping, leaving the scouting to the others.
ooc: spot and listen checks were 9 and 11 (and I have a +8 modifier) so I’m guessing Kith really DID throw himself into the buying mode, or was too hung up on belaboring himself.

The adventurers make their way down First Street to the Market. There they explore the various stands and shops, awed by the variety of things, and people, on display. They find themselves so absorbed by the experience that none of them is able to adequately reconnoiter the Council House. Nor do any of them spy anything out of the ordinary among the other patrons in the Market.
ooc: You can get a general picture of Ravensdale, as well as some "general knowledge" background info, here. The information posted there is the same as if you made a DC 10 Gather Info or Knowledge (local) check. Not much of the Council House can be seen from inside the Market.

Fimbus is a sucker for trinkets and foreign oddities, of which there is no shortage of in the market. He has an easy time blending in with the real shoppers, actually enjoying watching Babette try on various accessories and maybe throwing on a wild hat or two himself for laughs. But he doesn't lose sight of their goal. After a little while of moving back and forth along the edge of the Market Circle, he says quietly, "I can't seem to get a good look at the building from here. Maybe one or two of us should go in at a time. If you can, maybe you should all try to hide anything that would bring you too much attention." He takes a bit of his own advice and flips his blue cape around, so the bland gray inside shows. "Will that be alright, then? We'll go in, two by two. Babette, my lady, if you would?" If the others agree, he takes Babette's arm in his small hand and walks casually to the Council House.

"Certainly, Fimble, I'd be delighted;" Babette says, letting Fimble lead the way.

"OK, Kith and I will see you in there," says Metrius.
Keeping an eye out for anyone watching the council house, or Fimble and Babette entering, Metrius heads over to one of the market stands.
"I'll have a small amount of that and... oh, can I try this one?" he says, pointing at some of the cheeses on offer.
Making a bit of a fuss buying a nice lunch for the following few days, he lets the pair get into the council house, and to gives enough time that it does not look like he's following them in before heading over to join them inside.

Kith had dutifully waited while the others crossed the street and headed into their destination. Now, he followed Metrius to their destination.

ooc: The Market carries pretty much every mundane non-weapon item listed in the SRD. Weapons and armor are sold in stores elsewhere in the city. if you actually buy something, please remember to update your character sheet. Update coming later.

Over the next several minutes, the four of you make your separate ways to the Council House. None of you notice anything out of the ordinary on your walks. You soon find yourselves regrouped inside the foyer of the Council House. The lobby is large, easily 100 feet wide and 50 feet deep. Staircases leading to the second floor are located in the far corners. In the middle of the far wall is a large counter, behind which sits a severely attired woman, a serious expression on her face. Several doors lead off the three interior walls.
