Oswin walked purposefully through the market place, his quarterstaff moving in step with his right foot. An Elf stood up and tried to push past him. Oswin, not stepping aside, got shoved out of the way.
"Halt, Elf!" Oswin shouted. Disrespect for Priests just because they were human was not to be tolerated. Especially disrespect to the Archbishop. The Elf walked on, and Oswin called him again. The Elf stopped and turned.
"Are you talking to me?" he said in an arrogant manor. Oswin stepped forwards. "I am. Have you so little respect for the gods?" "I respect the gods," the Elf shrugged. "Do you have anything important to say, or may I continue?" "Obviously you do not," Oswin said, stepping closer still. "By shoving past me, the Archbishop, just now, you have slighted the gods of Mirawold. May they punish you for your disrespect!"

The silent hunter watched from above, free of wandering eyes and searching sentries. Attuned senses honed in on a white robe and a tall elf. Altaiir watched for several moments. It was a priest, not one of his brothers. As the spark of opportunity turned to flame, he dropped to the busy streets below.

Oswin and the Elf spoke a little more until finally the Elf ran away. Oswin turned and looked at the crowd who was watching them. After gazing at them intently, he began to walk back down through the market.

As the elf left, Altaiir slowly faded into the crowd again. Someone atop a guard tower spots him and several guards leave their posts to run towards him. But its too late. Altaiir is gone.

Oswin finished his business at the market and was about to go back when a monk came waddling up to him. He stopped in front of him and bent over, panting. "What is it? What's wrong?"
"Oswin, one of the brothers just returned with frightful news! He and another priest went out on a pilgrimage to Lebonwaith! On the way, they were waylaid, and one of them was wounded! Brother Columbanis, one of the brothers, has just returned and told us. He wishes you to go at once to Brother Buulstus and heal him. He left him in the care of a kind Inn keeper, but Buulstus was badly wounded, and Columbanis does not know how to heal him. You must go to him!" the Monk said pleadingly.
"Yes, yes I will. I will go at once!" Oswin said, as they walked quickly back to the Guild House. Oswin mounted a small horse and began his journey to Lebonwaith to help brother Buulstus.
