Wonder of wonders, when the others began to gather near the gate, Thea arrived to join them- the first time most of them had seen her since Ironshirt had sent them off on "vacation". The early morning hour didn't seem to be affecting her as much as it might- several days worth of good solid rest in a real bed made it easier to get going.
"Well, gentlemen- how has everything gone so far? One of my sources said you were planning a jaunt outside the walls, and after all the fun we had on the last trip, I simply couldn't stand the thought of missing out on more excitement. Is there any way that I can assist you in your inquiries?"
OOC: For what it is worth, Thea is perfectly willing to lead or help out with Gather information or Knowledge (local) attempts. Gather info +11/Knowledge (local) +12, so pretty good on her own, or (nearly) automatic success on Aid Another if somebody else wants to try.

Jonas and Thea
Jonas, with Thea's able assistance, makes some inquiries of the guards at the city gate regarding one Carolton Drueglefish.
"Well, Gentlefolk," says Morris the guard, "ol' 'Stinky-fish' shows himself around these parts on a fairly regular basis, but I haven't caught a glimpse of him for a day or two at least. Timmy! You seen ol' Fishbreath?"
"Yeah," says Timmy, "while your lazy butt was still in bed this morning, I was at work and I saw old Drueglefish just before the crack of dawn. He said he was planning to spend today fishing. His favorite stream is just down yon trail about two miles."

SoulFetter
SoulFetter, after a good night's sleep and another hearty meal, makes his way to the city gate at dawn to greet his fellow constables.
[sblock=OOC]Sorry - I put in a post regarding supper/morning/SoulFetter's preferences two or three days ago but I guess it didn't make it through.[/sblock]

Thea looked in the indicated direction, then around the group of constables. "Two miles... Why is it that such a distance hardly seems like any trial in the city, where there are people and sights to offer distraction- but outside the walls it seems like halfway to the border? I guess we ought to get walking, before he gets bored with his fishing..."

we's a-goin' fishin'!
The Constables begin following the hard-packed dirt path leading away from the road. Soon, the path enters the woods, and begins to snake its way, back and forth, down a rather steep incline. You then begin to hear the sounds of a stream when you near the bottom. As you reach the bottom of the little valley, you see a sign affixed to a tree:
"Know Fission!!"
Up ahead, on the bank of the stream, under a large, spreading willow tree, you see a gangly man wearing woodsman's garb, with a green and yellow cap cocked jauntily to one side of his head. He has a skraggly, spotty beard that, although by no means full and lush, appears to have been carefully groomed and tended. The man is intently eyeing a calm, still pool just downstream from a bend in the stream, where the line from his pole disappears into the water. "Come on," he says quietly, "Come on, just try a little nibble of that juicy, fresh worm. Try it, you'll like it."
Although Jonas has never actually met or conversed with the man, he knows beyond a doubt that yes, this is Carolton Drueglefish. And Moru is quite surprised to see a familiar face present, as well: Professor Haswan Berfubble is seated on the ground not far from the Ranger, his own line in the same, still pool.
