Right, well. Barring employment by Gregor's father - which I've still heard nothing on from Muse - there are still a good number of reasons Eztli'eyal could be in town. If only 'it was a good place to stop for the winter', which seems to me to work as well for mercenaries as for bards. Traveling during the winter is misery if you're on foot, and wise folk avoid it when possible, after all.<br/><br/>If being employed by Gregor's father is still on the table, I'm good with starting either on the road or after arrival - makes no nevermind to me.<br/>I'm not sure Eztli will have much to say, but his mental commentary might be a little pointy.<br/>For some reason, that upsets people, so I'll be keeping that to a minimum.
