[Tomcost]

Sigmund followed the mob to reach the Trade District. Failed that, he will try to go on his own.

[Harry Baldman]

In the Trade Quarter of Shriekpot...

Niklas, full of spirit and fury, leads his trusty drunkard cohort over to the infamous Ulubelle, apparently quite popular around conmen in Shriekpot. It's a fancy building, Niklas finds. And the inside is even better! It's got a refined atmosphere in it, and the place seems populated mostly by rather attractive women! And a few guys, as well, though these mostly look to be patrons. A middle-aged woman wearing what appears to be a stiff, smiling mask composed solely of makeup approaches the group immediately as they enter.

"Hello, good sirs. How may we at Ulubelle help you today?"

How indeed, madam. How indeed.


At the Flaming Crab...

Scott is humbled by the generous behavior of the inn's patrons. If only they were all this helpful.

"Oh... My thanks then, and my apologies for interrupting your evening."

"Oh, it's no problem. Give him a good beating from me if you find him! Son of a bitch swindled me not three weeks ago, can't prove a thing to the authorities!"

Scott nods and looks over at Mark. He appears to be leaving. Quicker than him. Racing time!

"It's my revenge, gods damn you!"

[Revenge Race: Scott vs. Mark: 3-1 vs. 1+1]

Scott walks as fast as he can, eventually catching up to Mark, who seems to be in no hurry at all. However, try as he might, Scott cannot outwalk the fellow before they reach the Ulubelle and go right in.

Oh, looks like Niklas is already here. And some fine gentlemen from the Feisty Jelly. And a woman with a painted-on face and an unchangingly smiling expression.

"And hello to you too, good sir and tree-person. How may we help you?"


In the port of Shriekpot...

Sigmund attempts to sniff out the trail of the mob that followed Niklas. However, the mob smelled like booze and disappointment, and so does everything else in this town, so he's kind of screwed there. Well, guess he'll have to try and get over his crippling indecisiveness!

Sigmund stares down the crossroads. They will not beat him today. He will persevere! He takes one step forward, then another, then another!

Then it suddenly hits him. He is alone now. Nobody to lead him around. Nobody to help. Maybe he should get someone. He turns to one side and beckons a guy to help him out. Said guy doesn't even spare him a glance. Okay, what about you, madam? Help a guy out?

She also doesn't help. Sigmund turns around and seeks aid from many sources, though they all prove unhelpful! And he has also turned around several times by now.

He is completely lost now.

[Innsmothe]

We are looking for Herbert."
Scott will scan the inn.

[Tomcost]

Sigmund will try to figure out where the sea is, to have a general idea of where he is. Then he will look for signs. If he can't do any of them, he will resort to ask to people where the trade district is. He will then go to Ulubelle in the trade quarter.


((Looks like there are lots of swindlers in Shriekpot))

[Xantalos]

Thank you ma'am, me and my friends here would like to gain entrance to this place - just to look for an old friend. We think he's in there.

[Innsmothe]

His name is Herbert.
Scott nods sagely.

[Harry Baldman]

In Ulubelle...

Scott explains the purpose of his arrival to the woman.

"We are looking for Herbert."

Niklas, however, is not to be upstaged. After all, he led a riot to here, and he'll be damned if he doesn't make use of it.

"Thank you ma'am, me and my friends here would like to gain entrance to this place - just to look for an old friend. We think he's in there."

"His name is Herbert."

"Herbert... I can look for him if you wish. Otherwise you will have to pay the entrance fee - one silver per person. This covers free food, drink and general entertainment for the night, though you will need to pay for specifics, shall we say. This is a rather low price for the quality you will receive, I assure you."


At an incredibly confusing crossroads in Shriekpot...

Sigmund tries to figure out where the sea is.

Okay. It's behind him. Right there, half a kilometer or so away. Very good. He can do this. Okay, a sign now. Give Sigmund a sign, you wretched town, you! The vampire looks around and focuses on the address plates of the nearby buildings. He is on Lipmann Street, and there's a signpost pointing to the center of town. Ah. Good. Presumably the Trade District is somewhere over there.

He follows the signpost, closing his eyes and slowly going onwards. After bumping into several people, he finds himself in the center of town.

It's a large square with about 18 different streets leading into it. There's even a large sign atop a pillar here that says "Center of Shriekpot". In essence, it's a huge intersection.

Looking around, Sigmund is paralyzed with fear, falling over and curling up into a ball, then going on to whimper softly.

He could go for a drink, he thinks. A drink makes the fears go away. Yeah, a drink is what he needs.

((Ghost Captain Stories is a great way to pass the time while the rest is getting REVENGE.))
Kevin sits down if he wasn't already and waits for Morton to choose a story, considering that his previous attempts at miming did not go very well.

[Tomcost]

((I hate the crossroads penalty))

Sigmund will look for slaughterhouses or butcher's shops.

[Xantalos]

No, we just need to talk to him. Could you bring him out for us?

[Innsmothe]

If she fails to render positive assistance, Scott will charge through and look for the bugger.

[Xantalos]

If she fails to render positive assistance, Scott will charge through and look for the bugger.

If this is the case, Niklas and the mob will do the same.

[miauw62]

If this is the case, Niklas and the mob will do the same.

((You obviously have to pull a Samuel and make the mob dance, then lead them into the building dancing.))

[Xantalos]

((You obviously have to pull a Samuel and make the mob dance, then lead them into the building dancing.))

((I remember that. Heh. Maybe they'll help me cook him.))

[killerhellhound]

If she fails to render positive assistance, Scott will charge through and look for the bugger.

Never Split the Party so when Scott charges through Mark will help
