Even with these dreams, Lyrel needed little time to rest, and whenever she was awake, her feet tapped and her fingers twitched until she started on the path to Orlane once more. So it was that, nearly a week later, Lyrel arrived in Hochoch in the morning of the day after Olpert sent the Dungeon Busters squad east to rescue Joseph and uncover/stop the evil in the village (Day 26 in our campaign reckoning). No sooner had the dusty, road-rank traveler set foot within the West Gate than she was approached by a friendly and very pretty young human woman, who introduced herself as Lienne. "Good morning, dear!" Lienne smiled, "You seem new to our town. Welcome to Hochoch! Is there anything I can help you find?"
Thank you, Lienne. I'm looking for Orlane's wizard.
Lyrel scans the horizon for a wizards tower, but seeing none from her current position she asks
Is there a tower, or is there an office where I can find this wizard?

Lienne

Lienne
Lienne frowns momentarily. "Orlane is down the Road a ways from here." She smoothly takes Lyrel's arm and walks with her, smiling broadly again. "Is this Wizard a relative of yours? A lover, perhaps? With such striking hair, I'm sure you have plenty of admirers! Now, now, don't frown so, it bunches up your face something awful. Oh, you poor thing, I see you really want your Wizard, I know how that goes. 'There is no heart that beats as fierce as a young one's!'

"Let's see...Orlane, Orlane...I understand they've been having many problems there recently. I don't know too much about it - only that food deliveries have stopped and the people there are getting replaced by changelings that look just like the originals - but you might be able to find out more from the Dungeon Busters. Some of them have just been to Orlane and come back this week, and most of them alive!"

Lyrel polightly reclaims the arm that Lienne took and walks side by side with the chatterbox

Madam...
Orlane is a colleague of mine, so put any other notion out of your mind.
I have heard about the Dungeon Busters, they do respectable work. And I appreciate the warning about the changelings.

She looks around for the inn.
I assume that they can be found in the inn at dinner time?
