After things die down at Em's shop, Diz can be seen milling about town. Obviously with something on his mind. A few hours of wandering, he seems to have come to some kind of decision. He makes his way to the Iron Traveler, and seeks out Anya. He asks her if he can keep most of his belongings at the tavern for a short while. Assuming that she agrees, he leaves all but his weapons, and then heads in what would seem to be the direction of the Black Unicorn.....

Upon arrival at the Iron Traveler Diz immediately notices something seems out of sorts. He can't quite place it at first but as he scans the few faces of the employees it dawns on him, he doesn't recognize any of them. It seems the Iron Traveler is under new management with a whole new staff.
One quick inquiry to an overly chatty servant earns Diz a torrent of information. An almost fanciful tale of the Handsome king whisking not only Anya but everyone employed there off to the capitol. Anya is somewhere there now managing the royal kitchens.
Rooms are for rent at a modest cost though if anyone would like to store their things, or stay a night or two.

hmmm... Well Good for Anya. I always knew she wouldn't be stuck here for ever. Ah well... Thank you kindly but I believe I may need to keep my belongings somewhere else. My apologies.
Diz Leaves the Traveler, and heads out the gates. An hour passes before he returns, visbly carrying less than when he left. He then makes his way through town, his destination seeming to be the Black Unicorn....

Having been Conveniently side tracked for some unknown reason, and hearing the faint whisperings of a gypsy party in the makes. Diz finally finds himself at the door to the black unicorn. A quick gut check and a moment to steel his nerves, he steps inside, expecting the confused looks that he may very well get before he might be accosted.
He makes his way to the bar, not making any sudden moves that may be misconstrued as a reach for a weapon. He sits at the bar, placing the only two gold pieces he brought with him on the bar and looks the barkeep square in the eye and says:
One way or another, you know who I am. I'll be drinkin' til this runs out. I suppose there may be someone you might have to tell that I am here.
Diz does not look away until his drink is served. Any sign of weakness in this place could very well mean his end. Time passes as he waits and wonders about the wisdom in this decision.......

Without missing a beat the barkeep quickly serves the ale and then proceeds to go to the end of the bar and whisper something to a patron. He then goes back to his normal work like nothing has happened....
A few moments later the man at the end of the bar rises and Leaves the Tavern....

Taking a moment to inspect his drink before enjoying it, and assuming he finds no traces of alchemy in it, Diz takes the first big gulp before turning around to lean against the bar. Fully aware of where he is, He is almost expectant of the possibility of ambush. He watches the man leave the bar at the same time surveying the establishment for possible escape routes. He continues to drink as he waits to see the how this is going to turn out. Obviously there will probably be some curious looks of those inside the Black Unicorn by those who are confused of who he is... or who he isn't for that matter. For now, Diz just waits.....

Two men enter the tavern dressed in all black. They head over to the bar and stop just a few feet from Diz and proceed to turn around.
"Attention, Attention some idiot is offering FREE ALE down at the Gypsy camp you all might...."
Before he can even finish his sentence most of the bar has cleared out and in the confusion they both turn to look Diz in the eye.
"So, what do you hope to find here?"....
Its strange before when they entered they were unarmed but now that they have turned around both have gasses in hand ready to throw.

The possibility of attack had been in the back of Diz's mind when he bagan this. So it was no surprise to him to see the men with gasses. This fact kept him from stiffening up too much. Making no move for his weapon, and still holding onto his flaggon, Diz replies as cooly as he can considering he may very well end up finding himself in a circle at the earth guild...
My good gentlemen, as you can see, it isn't about what I hope to find here. From what I've heard, it is about what your master may or may not hope to find in me. It's not often one finds his Doppleganger in the very town he lives in. It has become apparent that I can be of some use to him... should he decide that of course. I merely wish to present a beneficial situation to him. I desire no conflict, and I will voluntarily ingest a Forget it well to erase this encounter so I do not pose a threat to your "organization".
Diz continues to drink, feigning relaxation as he prepares himself for any situation that may arise....

As Kayin entered, he did so quietly, making nary a sound. He could smell all three of them, but his eye sight pierced the low light as he carefully entered, neither drawing a weapon nor drawing attention to himself as he moved in the shadows at the corner of the room, towards the bar. He meant to get around the two men who seemed to stand at odds. Without sound or motion, he held too short blades in each hand, their black steel matt so as to prevent them from reflecting the knife. Though each was a knife, they were in no way small; being as long as his forearm.
He braced them against his arm, and moved cautiously, quietly, behind them men as they had their attention fixed on Diz. He nodded to Diz from the shadow, a sign to keep his ace in the hole. At least for now.

Diz... being ready for almost anything was expecting any number of things to happen. He did not however expect to notice the movement in the tavern to turn out being his Wolven friend. Diz's readiness prevented him from inadvertantly giving away the position of Kayin as he continued to wait. Seconds turned to minutes when Diz casually broke the tense, uncomfortable silence with a grin.
So... my good men. Are we waiting here for the person we need to see or shall we take the visit to him?
Another deep swig of his drink is all that there to pass the time as he awaited the unfolding of events set in motion....

The sound of crickets chirping can be heard outside as our subjects of the story wait in silence.............
