"You have shown courage. The House of Mists can produce the illusion of any kind of monster, as I bid it" Vincenzo explains. "If you wish, and for a mere five more gold, you can experience fighting a giant or a huge dragon - whatever you wish. The simulation ends when either opponent scores five hits on the other." "Wraagh, simulation!"
"In this way you can fight monsters which you could not hope to defeat in real life. I should tell you, the one you fought just now, is likely such a one. He once ruled a domain of his own - not this one, but one which no longer exists. If you encounter him again, beware."

"No thank you, no dragon for me," Jiles says making sure he truly is not wounded. He bows slightly to the man. "Thank you for the information and the stimulation."
As Raul and Jiles walk off he pulls the man aside and tells him what transpired in the box of mist. When Raul whistles at learning who the giant wolf was Jiles nods, "That's right the river boat captain. Best to stay clear of him for now till we figure out why he helped us and didn't eat us."
Looking around Jiles asks, "Where to next?"

Vincenzo says "Thanks for stopping at the House of Mists." Then, leaning forward and lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper, he adds: "The help you need can be found in Vulpwood. You will need your courage." Lolita alights on Vincenzo's shoulder. "Courage, wraagh!" she echoes.
The barker steps back into the black box and draws the door closed with a brisk snap! In the blink of an eye - as if a spell has just ended - the clamor of the crowd around you swells to its previous volume, and you are now staring at an empty stall in the market.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Raul tells you "I think that barker was Vistani. Vulpwood, then.
As for the werewolf ... from what I recall, the big wolf fled when I began to approach. He seemed to fear Vistani. Between the evil eye and the dying curse, many people do. And it may have helped that my blade is silvered, as from what I understand, only such blades are effective against werewolves."

"Are all Vistani so...so..." he waves his arm in the diresction of the empty stall since he can't find the words. "Sorry. The fight in the mist was, nerve-racking."
He looks down at his sword and then says as the two head off. "I have no silvered weapon but perhaps we can find someone who sells some silversheen or has a few extra silvered weapons for sell, on our way to Vulpwood."
He walks alongside Raul quietly for a few minutes before asking.
"Ummm... Raul where's Vulpwood?"

After making a few inquiries, you find that the Vulpwood is indeed to the north, as is Castle Loupet. The folk you speak to advise you against traveling to Vulpwood after dark, and only with great caution during the day. The wilds beyond the city walls are infested with wandering wolves, wild dogs, and monsters. Accordingly, you plan to make the journey tomorrow morning.
Heading back to where the inns are, Jiles notices soft violin music. It grows louder as you approach an intersection with a dark alley. The music sounds quite similar to Raul's gypsy music.
As you pass the alley, you see that it's empty. Raul barely glances at the alley and doesn't react to it at all, just walking on.

"Huh? I don't hear anything" Raul tells you. "But lead on, perhaps we can find some Vistani."
As the two of you head down the dirt alley, the sound of the violin fades. The buildings here are small, old, and dirty. There are some with flickering lights visible, but Jiles can't place the source of the fading music.
"I still don't hear any music. It's getting late; perhaps we should just get Nikko and get some sleep." Raul looks troubled.

"Hmmm... Maybe your right. That box must have rattled me more than I thought." Jiles says still looking around and listening hard.
"We have a full day tomorrow some rest would be welcome," he says as he mentally marks the alley in case he comes this way again. "Let's get Nikko and then some much deserved sleep."
OCC: Ready to advance the thread to wherever you wish. How's Jiles money holding out btw?
