Nakira replied with as she thought it over, after this was over find job that had some security for in between mercenary work. Though right now, her attention was focused on the task at hand.

Overhearing the fight, the innkeeper glared at the quarreling priests over Nakira's shoulder. "Either knock it off or take it outside, you're disrupting my business!" he shouted, shaking his fist at the pair.

Returning his attention to Nakira, Daim almost answered, but then realized she only said "he". He mentioned two men. "Which man?" he asked.

N'shara clenched her jaw and fists as she stared down Rone. She wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of following his orders. He was no high priest! Two people were shouting at them to be quiet, and it was obvious that neither she nor he would back down. She had to gather her wits and leave before this got any worse. "Since you seem to have such mighty powers of understanding people, maybe you should do your damn questioning," N'shara said through her teeth, "You know me so well after all," she added sarcastically.

She turned around to face the elf again. "I'm sorry," she murmured--it was the best she could do. N'shara stepped aside and went straight to the stairs to get some peace.

Returning his attention to Nakira, Daim almost answered, but then realized she only said "he". He mentioned two men. "Which man?" he asked.

This surprised Nakira, there was two men who showed up instead of one. Perhaps details on both might help their search, though it might throw them off a little.

"Can you tell me about both of them, and which rooms they went off to? Anything will help, and could I take a look at anything left behind?"

She was trying to do her part, to help them find this vampire sooner rather than later.

Penna nodded at N'shara's sheepish reply. She was more ticked off at the priest than she was at the priestess because at least the priestess appologized. She turned on her toes and marched up the stairs to check on the boy. If he was suffering from fatigue, it could be more of a spiritual drain than physical, since he seemed to have some constant, if not odd, spiritual companions. Perhaps it was more about curiousity than actual concern for the boy. Penna stopped at the stairs and turned to face Daim as she remembered the barmaid from the day before. "...Is one of the missing girls that Ileta girl?"

"That's what I thought," Rone muttered to himself as he slid the tome back into the pouch. She was not hunter material. He would give her respect when she took the job seriously. It was clear that she didn't since she did none of the work. Now that N'shara, who was quickly becoming known as the lazy priestess in his mind, Rone returned to be calm and collected. For him, it wasn't a matter of losing control. He didn't have to yell or argue. It was not a necessity. But N'shara was being childish and Rone had no interest in being her father. She probably even thought that hunting this vampire was about her. That was the first and last mistake Rone ever made.

Rone adjusted his things and came up quietly behind Nakira to listen in on her discussion. He said nothing and did not take over the conversation like his personality suggested he would. Nakira was doing a good job and he wouldn't step on that. For a thief, she was gaining respect from him.

OOC: I want to note that Nakira wasn't told about Aryen's appearance, but we'll assume that she learned the whole story while they were searching overnight.

"They never went to any rooms, they walked out on me," Daim replied to the woman. She didn't seem to keep up very well. "And yes, one was Ileta," he added in response to Penna, then continued his description. With all the attention this disappearance was getting, Daim was beginning to worry that this was more than just a case of women being charmed by handsome men. "The fair fella was with those mercenaries over there," Daim jerked his thumb toward the group of mercenaries sitting around one of the larger tables and eating their breakfasts.

"He was flirting with Ileta first, but then this dark haired man came in and charmed her so well, that she walked out with him. I ain't got an eye for fellas, but let me tell ya, he was a pretty man. I know Ileta does a little...work on the side with men, but she's never walked out on me, no matter how much she's offered. Anyway, the merc started hitting on Dutia, the other girl, and she convinced me to let her go check on Ileta with this guy. She was supposed to come back after she told Ileta she was fired, but she never did."

Rone's head dropped with the news. Not only had this Ileta woman become prey, but he was fairly certain that Dutia had as well. Waiting that day for N'shara to recover was definitely a mistake, no matter the valuable information she gave. He had hunted with less information in the past. For his stupidity, there were two more victims to the unholy monster's name. He sighed heavily. Every time a vampire preyed upon an innocent, Rone took it as a personal failure, especially when he was hunting them. It meant he did not move fast enough to stop it. Rone leaned very close to Nakira's side and whispered. "Keep talking. Make sure to get a description for the missing girls. I'm going to try and talk up these mercenaries."

Rone stuck his hand out in front of Nakira, towards Daim. "Sorry to interrupt sir, but besides the handsome man, is that all of the mercenaries he was sitting with?"

"A...pretty man? Was he like the boy that fell near the fire?" Penna asked, her own curiousity getting the better of her. First a boy who communicated with spirits, then a man that even men find pretty. "Did he have pointy ears like mine?" She touched her ears gently to indicate the length and point further. In her mind it was possible that the man who came in was a half elf, the inherrant prettiness coming from his elven side.

Callin had a tendency to listen in on tavern conversations, they tended to give up some interesting and sometimes useful information. He had perked up since the large man, claiming to be a priest and the dark skinned priestess started into a heated argument. Nothing of true interest was stated till the conversation about the bar maids started.
Callin kept thinking it odd that his fellow merc, Darin, was turned down. Not only with his decent looks he had a rough charm that a lot of women just fell for. But the man they were discussing had swept the bar maid off her feet leaving Darin with second best. Shortly after Darrin and the other bar maid ,Dutia, left to "search" for Ileta. What was odder still, is that he nor the bar maids had not returned. So Callin decided to pay as close attention the conversation as possible to see what was going on.

Again, Daim wasn't sure if they had listened to everything he said. "Uhh...well, the handsome one with dark hair wasn't with the mercs, the blonde one was. And I think that just about all of them are there now 'cept for him. I didn't exactly take a head count," he explained to Rone. Daim then turned to address Penna; "No, his ears were round like any other human."

"Understood, I'll leave him something for his effort."

Nakira waited till Rone was finished, and then whispered back to him before he went to talk to the mercenaries. When his and penna's questions were answered she asked Daim about the girls, the situation was looking pretty grim.

"What did Dutia and Ileta look like, it will help us to find them. Your help is appreciated in this matter, and we will find them."

Penna's mouth pursed when she heard that Ileta was one of the two women missing. Ileta had been so kind to her the previous day, and now she was missing. The elven woman moved away from the conversation and towards N'shara had gone.

"Well, Ileta's a beautiful blond girl, about yay high," Daim measured a height around 5'5" to 5'7" by raising his hand beside him. "Dutia is pretty too, but she's got all the curves of a wood plank. Short dark hair, about so high," he measured a height a few inches shorter than Ileta's.

Rone grew a smile as he approached the mercenaries. There was one seat left. It was perfect. "Mind if I sit?" the gruff cleric asked, making sure his finely crafted weapons were visible. Hopefully the mercenaries could appreciate a fellow fighting man like themselves. Rone's mannerisms became more friendly for the purposes of the job.

Nakira noted the descriptions, this would help them despite the fact it would be hard to pick them out in a crowd. Needing a little more info she decided to ask for specifics, maybe they had a distinguishable mark.

"Any distinguishing features, something like a birthmark or a tattoo? It will make it easier to find them, though your descriptions are very helpful. Thank you for that, we will do our best to find them."

She was trying to get as much info as possible, so that they had enough of a base to make a mental image from. That would give them an advantage in their search, though by now they would be too late to save them.
