Lazarus Grimm wrote: The inn wasn't the best he had seen, yet it was at least better maintained than his own place. He sat down by the bar counter and the innkeeper immediately took notice.

"What will it be?" he asked.

"Got any mead?"

The innkeeper shook his head. "Nah, but we do have some fine ale, straight from our local brewery. Don't let anyone else sell it to you though, it's more likely you would drink their piss then."

Varg didn't appreciate hearing rumors like that. "I think I will have some wine then."

"Coming right up! Ehrm, what kind of wine?"

Varg raised his shoulders. "I don't know. Suprise me."

The innkeeper filled a flagon and passed it the Nord's way.

"Thanks", muttered Varg and emptied the flagon in one sweep. "Leave the bottle."

"May I ask what brings you to this fine corner of the Colovian Highlands?"

Varg put down the flagon. "Ever heard of any cult activites going on in this town?"

The innkeeper fell silent and looked around worryingly. "Not so loud, please", he whispered. "You are scaring the customers away if you talk like that. But there have been some sightings of meetings involving robed men... and a dreadful chanting." The man shivered. "Sends goosebumps down my back, just thinking about it!"

"Any leads or clues? Have any inkling of what they are up to?"

The innkeeper shook his head. "No idea. But they are holding their meetings almost every night. Every time I pass that house after some late night work I can hear them chanting."

Varg leaned closer over the disk. "What are they chanting about?"

"I-I really don't listen all that close, but I have heard words like "Voidspawn" or "Dread Demon" or "death of the Sentinels". Stuff like that! It really freaks me out."

Varg tasted on each and every word and made a mental notice. It could come in handy later on. "Thanks for your information. I will make sure this won't be a problem for you."

"Thank you", sighed the innkeeper.

A cruel smile came over Varg's lips. "If you could keep this flagon filled until the evening falls?" (The Voidspawn/Dread Demon wouldn't really know that the last invasion was foiled by the Sentinels, since there was no way to him having heard it from any surviving Voidspawn, as the Sentinels had killed them all.)
