The map-seller greets you with an exaggerated flourish. 'Mendo and his magnificent maps, at your service.' He rummages through his pack. 'Adventurer—yes, let's see. How about a map of Carvel, made by my own fair hand.' He takes out a roll of parchment and unravels it, revealing a detailed map of the town.
'Five gold crowns for the map—you won't find a better bargain.' He glances around at the nearby guards, then leans a little closer. 'Cross my palm with a little extra gold and maybe I'll share more gossip with you.'
Will you:
Purchase a map for 5 Gold Crowns?
Pay 3 Gold Crowns to listen to rumors?
Turn your attention back to upper town?

The map-seller greedily pockets the gold. 'So, do you want the good news, the bad news or the downright ugly news?'

Ask for the good news?

The map-seller drops his voice, glancing over his shoulder. 'You heard of the fanged crusader, right? He's preying on criminals in Carvel. At least two gangs have gone down in the last month and even the thieves' guild has broken up. He's a real vigilante.'
'And where do the fangs come in?' you ask, with a skeptical frown.
'Some of the guards got a good look. They say he can turn into a bat—a giant vampire bat. And it was taking bodies off into the night. A few pilgrims gone missing in the town lately, too.' The man shakes his head. 'Not sure if it's good or bad, but it all sounds very ugly to me...'
'More news is going to cost you,' grins Mendo, holding out his palm. Show me some of those shiny ones and we're in business.'
Pay the 3 gold crowns?
Continue your journey?

'It's common knowledge that we got a war brewing in the east; been skirmishes with Mordland already. I dare say it won't be long before the king raises an army and announces another one of them holy crusades. Probably about time—bring some of the One God's light to that forsaken land.'
The map-seller's gaze falls on the domed church. 'But it's bad news for us. Inquisitors are being pulled back to the capital. The guards try their best, I know, but they aren't enough to handle the problems in Carvel. We need them around, not gallivanting off east where'll we never see them again.'
Will you:
Pay 3 gold crowns and ask for the good news?
Continue exploring upper town?

Finish paying the exposition tree.

'The prince is back in town for the All Saint's celebrations. Word is he's digging into his own coffers for this years festivities—they're going to be the best ever. Street entertainers, fireworks...it's what the people need to take their mind off the troubles.'
Will you:
Ask about the prince?
Ask about the 'troubles?'
(This is not made terribly clear until after you ask, but neither of these cost us any additional gold, as they're considered part of the "good news.")
Ask about something else? (nothing else to ask about)

The prince:
'Prince Lazlo?' The map-seller jerks a thumb in the direction of the wedge-shaped castle. 'The black sheep of the family—not too different to Allam, back in his day. Brought enough scandal already on the king's household with his womanizing and gambling. Yeah, a real wild card. Why else do you think the king would send him out to this backwater? To keep him out of the way, that's what. At least here, Lazlo can do whatever he wants without making a fool out of his betters.'
The 'troubles':
'You really are wet behind the ears, aren't you?' The man shakes his head with a sigh. 'I suggest you wise up quickly to what's going on. The Wiccans have got themselves a new leader—some powerful dark warrior, who they say becomes a demon in battle. The inquisition had him under lock and key, but I hear he broke out. The Wiccans trashed the place.'
'Durnholllow?' you add quickly, your interest piqued.
'Yeah,' nods the map-seller. 'Hmm, you're not so ignorant after all, eh?'
'But what do they want, the Wiccans?'
The man rolls his eyes. 'See, I spoke too soon. Look, the Wiccans used to be all over these moors, this land was theirs, but then the king's army came. Naturally, the inquisitors didn't like what they saw; the Wiccans follow the old ways, see—the old magics. So the church tried to civilize them.' He snorts with derision. 'Like them wild lunatics could ever be civilized, cavorting with demons and drinking blood! I ask you! So most of 'em went south, but for some reason, they've come back—and they've come back fighting.'
And that's everything, so we go back to the upper town square.
Will you:
Explore the church?
Investigate the castle?
Cross the bridge to the tower?
Leave Carvel?

Six stone angels flank the double doors that lead into the church. As you pass through, into a wide circular nave, you find your footsteps faltering as you gaze in wonderment at the breath-taking vista before you.
Light falls in bright shafts from the crystals set into the ceiling, converging on a large fountain that sits at the center of the nave. From its angelic statue, water tumbles out into channels, forming a series of interlinked waterways. Small bridges span the water, their intricate lattice work gleaming with a pale radiance.
Heading around the nave you see white-robed priests and acolytes in adjoining chambers, poring over scrolls or kneeling in prayer. A woven tapestry hangs across one wall, where a number of travelers are stood scrutinizing the embroidered scenes. Nearby a man sits alone on a bench, his head held in his hands.
Will you:
Inspect the tapestry?
Talk to the man?
Leave the church?

Thing that doesn't involve interacting with people first. So tapestry.
