A rough appraisal of his situation is he has a lot of work on his hands. Almost as soon as the group had taken even a few steps away he was beset by another of the Tritower citizens with another problem.It was Maui that was last to leave the clearing, on the account of a dwarven child giving him (or his thigh, at least) a hug and her thanks before letting him go. She then made herself busy, drawing her friends around her, and going over how the money was to be split. As the group withdraws, she seems intent on describing to her friends just how much they'd earned and how it was to be split up. Exciting.However, the journey through the camp showed a different demeanor altogether. There is a sense of despair to the people as Barlo talks to them, eventually finding a trail that leads to the priestess, Anna. They eye you curiously, and the feel Vincenzo gets from more than one is a small glimmer of hope. It also becomes obvious that they are entirely commoners, and you haven't seen a single person of upper station at all. With the exception of perhaps Maui, the group tends to be considerably better dressed than most of the people here.Eventually the trails ends and you spot the oft-mentioned priestess. A teenage boy leads her along to wherever they are headed next, and she clings to his arm as they thread their way through the camp. She walks slowly, and they boy leads her with a bit of practiced patience. Upon getting closer, there is something odd about her, a seemingly unhealthy glow and tiredness that do not seem quite natural. However, the description seems consistent with what you've been told, although nobody mentioned how young she was--this woman is probably not yet 18 years old.As you approach, the boy exclaims, "Priestess, strange people!" He turns to face you, which results in her turning as well.</blockquote>
