"Gholog, you go on ahead." Seraphina says. "I'll go down into town, and see what I can find out. Tell the rest of the group to meet up with me in the inn. I'll be waiting for you there after the town meeting."
Not giving Gholog time to respond, Seraphina heads down to Bellhold, avoiding the Captain and his men if at all possible.

Gholog:
Gholog makes good time back along the forest track, catching up with the rest of the party after around five minutes. They appear to be studying several sets of footprints in the soft ground of the forest floor.
Seraphina:
Carefully skirting around Captain Haldik and the town guard, Seraphina makes her way to Bellhold.
The town square has cleared from the morning's market, with just a few stallholders packing away their goods.
The rest of the party...
stand puzzling over the new tracks.
None of you can recall having seen any elves in Bellhold, although Tokket (the barkeep of the Bell and Clapper tavern) and a few other townsfolk you saw were half-elven.

Seraphina will casually approach the nearest stallholder.
"Excuse me, good sir," She says, "could you possibly tell me where the town meeting will be held tonight?"

"I'm not sure, lass." The stallholder says. "Alderney?" He calls across to another man taking down the canvas cover for the stall opposite. "The lady wants to know where that town meeting is going ta be."
The other man turns to face you, and crouches down slightly as he speaks. "Here in the Plazza, only place you could fit enough people in. Everyone's going to be here: the mayor, Captain Haldik, even the Krekkets. The inns 'all be doing good business tonight!"

Seraphina speaks to the other man, and nods.
"It does indeed sound that way. In fact, I am one who is utilizing the services of one of the inns in town, and have come to be at the town meeting. However, I have a question for you, good sir... who are these 'Krekkets' that you mentioned?"

Alderney sits down on a crate, taking a pipe out of his pocket. He lights it and takes a pull of smoke. He pulls off his hat, tossing it onto another box, and a third eye blinks at you from the centre of his forehead.
"The Krekkets? They're the local bigwigs. Lucius Krekket owns the mine and one of the foundries over the east side of town." He takes his pipe out of his mouth and gestures at the pillars of smoke that rise from that direction. "Some folk call him 'the new dragon', but I reckon he's a decent enough sort.
"Phillippa, that's his wife, she spends her time keeping several of the local merchants in business." He smiles slightly, but his face becomes serious as he continues. "Lucius is a good man, but I'm less sure about her. Lucius brought her here from Duke Anvar's court, and she's done nothing but complain about the town since. And she's started getting Lucius to meddle in local politics too. Aye, she's one to keep your eyes on."
He stops and takes another pull on his pipe, leaning back against the wall behind him.

So game on!

I say we follow the tracks to the east. See here--this set of tracks suggests goblinoids and maybe some humans or halflings. The other set is fresher, but the old ones are more interesting by far.
We can always come back and try to track the fresh set if the old set is a dead end. But, I do not lead this group. That is my suggestion, what say the rest of you?
Gholog, any news?
