The Constable definitely knows what's going on with the disappearances. That was Marita's immediate reaction. There was no evidence towards this conclusion, but the way he spoke along with what little they had been told of him before made her 80% certain this was the case. Of course, it was entirely possible for him to merely be oafish and territorial over what little domain he had power over, but that would merely change him from malicious to boorishly incompetent. Regardless, even as someone who wasn't an active participant in that exchange, it left a bad taste in her mouth for law enforcement to act in such an unbecoming way.

They were now clear to enter Avonshire and begin their investigation in earnest, but it had been made painfully clear now more than ever that they'd need to maintain a low profile. Perhaps if she were here by herself she'd have more leeway on how she conducts an inquisition, but with a crew as conspicuous as they were, they'd need to walk on eggshells.

[color=FF6C5C]"We do need a place to stay while we're here, so that inn would be more than appreciated, and we'd be honored to visit your vineyard. What do you need help with?"[/color] The inn would certainly not be to Marita's standards, but there were very few places in the entire region that would be. More to the point, an innkeeper was a good, if perhaps cliché way to try to get information on the settlement and potential leads on this mystery. And normally accepting this kind of visit wholesale was something Marita wouldn't be too inclined to do, but she would feel awful to say no to a grieving family like that. The death of family was hard enough without them being dismembered and partially consumed. Lastly, although they had time restricted business to take care of, it wouldn't hurt to hear out the lady.
