something wicked this way comes
The knight of justice moves forward slowly, methodically, concentrating on his divine power to discern the auras of his enemies. He is at first somewhat distracted by the negativity of the small groups of people passing by; hucksters with selfish intentions against their marks, several orcish mercenaries on leave from their garrison duties to the east, and even the lingering residue of what he presumes is the passing of the Red Wizard some sixty paces to his rear, at the intersection they crossed.
His movement around the front of the building helps him narrow his focus, though, and at first he is surprised - and to some small extent, relieved - to detect only one aura of darkness within the building. Pursing his lips, he recalls hearing that it was a small group that entered the city gates, which gives him cause for thought: where are the others?
As his concentration continues to draw focus, he becomes aware that the subject of his scrutiny is moving...toward the front of the building!
Narvil barely has time to react, much less warn his fellows, when suddenly the front door of the place opens up, and a man, a human male, is framed in the doorway. Dressed in simple commoner's garb, the figure looks out and down from the top step, glaring for a few seconds at the party members milling about the front of the unopened shop.
"Hrrmph" he snorts through his nose derisively at the nearest one, then walks down the steps and past them all, out into the street.
Behind him, someone comes to the door which has been left open a crack. An eye peers outward into the street, then closes the door behind the exiting man. A bolt can be heard sliding into place.
