Jantus: "I'm gonna take a look outside, see if I can find out where we are."
You wave the sparks away and enter the tavern. It's busy enough, with people occupying tables that cover the room and plenty at the bar. Vesh and Jawson head to the bar while Jantus heads outside through the door, so you decide to head to the bar and listen in as the bartender talks to Vesh and Jawson.
Bartender: "You're in Charlestown, a caravan delivering supplies saw you, you, and four others wanderin' around the outside'a town like drunkards last night, so I took up the task of herding you into this'ere tavern and get you fellows in bed before you drowned in a puddle. We have enough hands working here, you might be able to get work in other shops around town. And whaddya mean by 'powerful people?'"
Erale: "So no introductions? Miss?"
"..."
You're sure to make sure no one else hears you.
"Mikoto."
Erale gives you a small but sweet smile.
Erale: "Thank you, and it's Erale, to be sure."

You head through the doorway and make your way to the bartender, which is probably the closest person to a proprietor you'd find. You're not exactly sure what to say, but Vesh makes his way towards you and asks the bartender where you guys are, if he's seen him before, and employment opportunities and powerful people in town.

You follow the girl as she heads after Jawson and Jantus, who are talking to the bartender.

She takes a few looks around.

You make your way through the busy tavern and through the door leading to the outside. You find yourself on a worn but tough cobbelstone road. It looks like you're in the heart of the town, with numerous buildings on every side and the bustle of people all around. The sun looks like it's late in the day, not far off from night.

Wander the town a bit while keeping an eye out for jobs or a recruiting station for the town guard or something.

> Check pants for money. If so, sit down at bar and order something hot and not booze.
You check your pockets for money, and find your pockets disheartingly empty. You just find a sit at the bar anyways and Erale sits beside you.
Erale: "Thank you, sir. I'm sure that this place has its rules, and we'd like to be careful, what with our extravagant show the other night.
So, other than that, what kind of shops are there?"
Bartender: "You got your smith, the market in the morning where you'll get your food stuff, a potion shop, a magic shop, though I wouldn't waste a copper there, and the weapon shop."
Vesh: "Powerful. You know, with money, or a political office. Anyone like that?"
Bartender: "The mayor? He runs the town. The town's captain, he's in charge of keeping order."
Stranger: "The bartender. He's in charge of the alcohol."
The bartender and several other men give a hearty laugh at the joke.
Bartender: "That's about it, I think."

You exit the tavern. It looks like it's late day, but there are still a fair number of people strolling about. You walk around for a bit until you come upon the smith's, which you can tell by the various metal objects visible through the windows and the hammer and anvil sign above the door. Letting yourself in, you find yourself in a comfortable sized room. A doorless doorway on the back right side of the room leads to somewhere else, and in the middle of the room is a table with an array of various metal objects on it. There's a single man in room, polishing the objects with a cloth.
???: "Are you here to pick something up?"

You head to the bar and take a seat on one of the tall, round stools, and listen to the people chat to the bartender.

You wander around the town, looking for places that are hiring. Nothing looks like it has a job opening sign or anything, but after a bit you come upon the guard station near the center of town. It's a stone building instead of wooden like the others and only one floor. Walking up to the sturdy wooden door, you turned the knob and let yourself in.
Upon entering, you find yourself in a waiting room of sorts. There's a door in the back right of the room, chairs against the right wall, and to the back left is a desk with a man seated behind it. On the left wall is a large wooden board with varying papers on it, a large number of them depicting odd creatures.
The man at the desk, who is wearing a heavy shirt of chainmail, looks up from his paperwork.
???: "Can I help you?"
