The Dwarf: You, too, approached the sign and got bumped into by an elven woman. Looking up, you see a spiderweb tattoo on her cheek, covering her eye like a patch. At her side, she has an axe, and a nice one at that. She does not notice you, and appears to be reading the sign in total silence.

The Elf: Standing back, you do catch a glimpse off the sign, and through the general conversation around you, you get an idea of what it says. However, about 10 feet in the back, even further behind you, your keen ears pick up the soft lull of a whisper: "but, that place is a thieves' tavern.. we'll be killed."

Aranel: Your words are loud, but mostly ignored, but a halfling turns to look at you. She smiles, and steps forward, then walks closer to you. "Shh... mustn't let them know."

Everyone: It is at this time a fight breaks out 30 feet from the sign, between two humans, one armored heavily and the other wearing very little. Both are male, and both are speaking in a language you've not heard. The armored figure raises his sword, and strikes true through the chest of the other, dropping him to the ground. The guards rush over, and grab him, pushing him to the ground. The man struggles, but does not escape. As you survey the scene, you notice the sign again, but it is not the same. You'll need to get closer to examine it.
