Don't "shhh!" me, you rich bastard!
Bellwether Childress

Bellwether picks a bed as his own and drops his kit bag and bedroll on top of it. He's been annoyed the whole train ride in and these accommodations aren't easing his mood any. "So we got a map," he says, looking at Crowe--the name ringing some ancient bell, but he can't place it right now. He casts his eyes over everyone else in the tiny, smelly closet. "Anyone here ever actually been to Pavletica before, or are we all gonna look like tourists taking turns gawking at the map? We stand out, we're liable to draw attention we don't need. Meanwhile the quarry gets away." Like the Plotinian he foregoes an introduction.

Bellwether Childress

Bellwether opens his kit and rummages through it before pulling a large, sheathed knife from it. "I'll go with you to the stage," he tells Fendrel as he straps the knife to his belt. "May as well get a look around town while there's a show going on here." He pulls some thick brown leather gloves and works them on.

Assuming Fendrel has no questions for the ostler, Bellwether escorts him back to the inn and then wanders the town. It's important to get the lay of the land, especially if one's going to have to make a run for safety or toss off some shots. He pays particular attention to the route from the inn to the river, and from the river to the northlands.

Trying to Create Advantage, and ... coming up short.

The scout casts a sidelong glance at Fendrel when the red book comes out. The old man's nearly glowing. Well, chalk it up as a learning experience; Bellwether should have known better than to judge any of his companions on first appearances. He looks over the studious notes. "Okay. So me and you can try to sneak in," he says to the pixie. "If you want, of course. Mr. Crowe can distract the carnies. I'm sure that--sigh--'Doctor Twist' can assist in that endeavor. So that leaves the Plotinian and you," he says, looking to the Maestro. "Where do you want to be? Oh, and Jackson. He seems to keep to himself, I'm not sure where we can put him."

Bellwether follows after the two of them, trying to keep them in sight while also letting the group be split enough without drawing attention.

For now, Bellwether hangs back and watches from beneath a tree. If it looks like Ariel gets in trouble, he'll move; likewise, if Crowe isn't giving enough of a distraction, Bellwether wil offer up something a bit harder.
