Yes, yes it is. I've just been somewhat busy (And also I had no idea where the priest thing was really going). Here's an update.
You give the man one more chance to move, but although he shifts his weight from foot to foot, he stands firm and does not reply. You try to disguise your next move by approaching while telling him an inane story about another encounter with religious men, but he sees it coming and readies himself.
As you decide that your honor will not stomach the insults he has given you, you quickly let loose a jab at his face. It catches him high on the cheekbone, rather than the jaw, and he rears back. You try to finish the fight quickly with another hit, but he blocks it and gives you a surprisingly mighty blow in the body. You, however, see an opening as he has left himself too close to you. You grab him in a bear-hug, pinning his arms to his sides and raking your forehead down across his nose. You release him and although he is still conscious, he falls over backwards and it is clear he is out of the fight. His companions quickly pick him up by the arms and hustle him away, their eyes shooting daggers at you, while he spills some spiel about Entos and revenge.
Unfortunately, because of the preaching the men had been doing outside, along with the commotion your little scuffle has caused, no one of interest remains in the tavern. Thus, you decide to stop by a few of the merchant houses in town, to see if they have any information or offers of interest. However, you learn only scattered snippets, although it seems that Delman was right about the larger group north of Dalhurst. In all, though, it's been a productive day, with some armor bought for the spearmen, rations replenished, and a good little fight to top it all off.
