"Hmm... perhaps it would be best if we discussed things inside or elsehwhere. The streets are a bit too crowded today for my tastes. I'd suggest a bar or inn."
If the Bard has no objections, Kalath looks around for any one of the nearby bars or taverns other than the Whistling Dragon and enters and finds a seat in as quiet an area as possible.
Once there are none of the robed beings in sight, Kalath continues. "Those robed beings are the cultists, of course. Best to avoid them. They're out in much larger numbers than normal today. When around them, its best to blend in and keep yourself unnoticed. Might even be best to not risk trouble and lie low or rest for a couple days."

As he sits and listens to Kalath, the man orders some food.
"Oh, I can do that I think..." says the Bard, "In fact, it would probably be in your best interest to dissassociate from me. I appreciate your help and will certainly remember it. But I can lay low for a while."
"Incidentally," he adds between mouthfuls of food, " I imagine that you know the one pillar leads to the surface, I saw you eyeing it. Even in my day the other three led down."

"Good. I'm glad to have helped you. Good luck in your quest."
"As to the pillars, yes, I do know that that one leads up. I use it often. Thank you for the information that the other three lead down... I knew one did, but access to it is sadly restricted, and I have been looking for another way down. Of the pillars that lead down, do you know where they led?"
After the Bard's answer, Kalath nods and realizes he has one last thing to warn the Bard about. "Only advice I can give you is to be wary of the cultist's houses at the end of each major street and of the palace and its surroundings."
With that said, Kalath is prepared to leave, but first he says two last things to the Bard. "Well, I never told you my name, but it's Kalath. I don't want it becoming well known here just yet, though. And last, never, never say that you play an instrument, sing, or are a bard. The current ruler takes a dislike to that."

"We always kept the two southern ones closely guarded as they led to dangerous regions of fire. demons dwelt there. The Northwest pillar though led to a series of natural caverns, once inhabited by dwarves."
"I thank you Kalath and perhaps we will meet again."
Outside the tavern, there are still many robed cultist accosting people and questioning them.

"Once more, good luck. And goodbye for now... perhaps we shall meet again."
Kalath rises and leaves the tavern. Once outside, he notes the location of the tavern that has the casino underground, as he may want to return to it later. Kalath then makes his way back to the northeast pillar, feigning unconcern about the numerous cultists as he walks.
