Arriving at Eastgate their weapons are peace-bonded as is the custom during festival weeks - to give drunken hot-heads a chance to cool down before they injure one another. The main street is even more crowded than normal, with jewellery sellers, stages with high class performers and musicians, noise bustle and music. Crail eyes up the situation as ideal for thieves, and all the party take precautions against cutpurses. Lysander and Azrin go directly to the temple while the others attend their favourite local - the Queen of Cups.Barnabas, the proprietor, greets them as old friends now. “what have you brought me from you adventures, boys?” he calls out. To his astonishment they lay two black dragon wyrmling skulls on the counter. “well, we killed these two” says Auriel “and we found this one” They watch his eyes bug out as they open another sack and pull out an ancient black dragon skull! As busy as the town is at the time of the fair, Barnabas pledges to “Find some room for my boys!”.At the temple Lysander finds a room has been prepared there for his own use, although Alkanar the high priest seems strangely distant and uncommunicative. Perhaps unwilling to see Lysander for some reason? Well, tomorrow is Holyday, and he’ll have a chance to speak to the priest then...Peeling Azrin away from the temple library which is closed for the period of the festival, they go to join up with their friends before trying out the fair.Our friends don’t find much to distract them during the fair, although one rumour leads them to a stall just in the shadow of the bell tower where a swarthy skinned man in a broad-brimmed hat is selling an exotic missile weapon shaped somewhat like hollow Frisbees (they are chakrams). He is a personable enough sort, but is rude to Azrin because of the deep enmity between his own nation of Tillan and Azrin’s homeland. There are no problems with pickpockets - rather the reverse as Crail finds a note has been inserted into one of his pouches. It is from Laidley, a girl that used to have a crush on him before he ran away from the local thieves guild. It says “Be careful - there have been many changes in the guild, and it is even less safe for you than it was before. Many outsiders have come into the guild and they have said that they want to find you“. Crail redoubles his watch for any of the black-haired men who had started infiltrating the guild just before he left them. He has a bad feeling about this...</blockquote>
