The watchman is noticeably uneasy as he approaches the convention center. Not only is it a fancier part of town than his normal patrol of the docks, he knows it is crowded with the sort of powerful folk that you once had to go all the way to Egorian to see. But he drew the short straw, and so he's the one that has to report. The archmages probably won't turn him into a kobold.

The crowd of delegates is already inside the hall, discussing something. The security is also all different than he's used to, and after hemming and hawing he finally decides to just report to the closest one to him. "Are you missing a delegate? There's a man with the mark drunk out of his mind near the docks. He was... involved with a death, last night." He heard that the delegates aren't to be trifled with, and so he's not accusing him of anything yet, but he's hoping that someone takes this seriously and gets this problem off of their hands.

Pau, a Guardsman

"Hey, yeah, I'm not really an offical guard, like? I'm in the personal guard of the Condesa of Halmyris," (He looks proud of this). "but, like, I do know a guy in the Convention Guard who helped me before?"

Watchman Lluís

Lluís briefly considers making his report and heading back, but the desire to be quit of this situation does not overpower the worry that it will be worse if the report is garbled through multiple retellings. "Great, could you take me to them? I really don't know who to bother about this."

The convention is livelier today than it was yesterday. The more heavily armored guards will see if someone cares about a missing delegate, but Lluís might be in for a wait. (Pau was waiting anyway.)

Watchman Lluís

He waits. Eventually someone takes pity on him and takes a report, so he can return to the docks, where he hopes there hasn't been too much trouble in his absence.

There has been too much trouble. Jeroni, who was supposed to be watching the drunk delegate, had to respond to a theft, and came back to find that his throat was slit and his purse taken. Jeroni has already abandoned his armor and fled elsewhere into the city; Lluís has to find this out from a street vendor. He grimaces and decides to do the same.
