You choose to head towards the town.

The first thing you notice as you get close to the town is the harsh contrast between the village and the peaceful forest you walked in from. There is an ungodly amount of hustle and bustle in the town square. Ladies gossip in their big dresses, children run amuck, entertainers entertain, a fresh fruit market is thriving as the sound of coins being shared fills the air.

It is a lot to take in, but you feel drawn to different figures in the crowd. The feeling is very similar to the one you felt looking at the two glowing planets. One is a thin man dressed in all black. He has an inviting smile on his face as he attempts to wave you over towards an alley, darkened from the cover of buildings with lanterns dangling. He does not appear to have much in his possession, just a simple deck of playing cards.

The other man you spot through a door of a tavern. Through the doorway you see that this man is much taller, and his constant hand gestures as he speaks seems to fill the room. He is clearly the barkeep and you can see him almost drop a glass he is drying as he frantically speaks and laughs to those at his bar.

Who do you approach?
