The Harpy looks to Marcus, happy at being able to recount her story. "Well, it might not go well for you if you're looking for work, because the village already has a guardian spirit or something, apparently," she says with a smile.

"Rubbish!" One man waves his hand. "Balderdash! Poppycock! The boy just went further than he was supposed to and made his way back.  He made it up to avoid getting into trouble."

The Harpy shrugs. "Eh, maybe. They said something about there being an entire underwater town nearby, so there could be spirits there.  I wasn't there long enough to ask, I only did a pass-through on my way to Bartleby."

"Bartleby? That's only two counties over," a young man says. "You should've been able to see it from the air."

"It's raining, doofus. I ran," she says, giving him a look. "Couriers have to be able to run, too."
