Day 1: The Flyer

Angora City!
 
Flyers have been strewn about the city looking for some possible protection for hire to guard a caravan heading to the north. Despite the remarks of my familiar, I decided to take a look into it. Could be a good first step to getting back on track.
 
The meeting place had an echo within the chamber. There were enough chairs to seat a fair amount of people, but only 2 were present upon my arrival. The first being a man of no notable features, sat next to the second, a woman with green skin and hair. Not sure I've ever seen one such as her before. Things remained mostly silent until the fourth arrived.
 
A fox, carrying a flyer in its mouth, wandered into the seating hall, took a brief look around, dropped the flyer, and proceeded to sit next to the first man. The fox stared intently at the man for a moment before the man turned to speak to it.
 
He seemed perplexed by the fox, asking questions like, "Am I a wizard?" and "Are you my familiar?" before attempting to touch the fox on the top of its head. I'm not 100% certain what happened after this, but the man seemed to think the fox had poisoned him. At this point, the second, the green woman, began to offer things from her pack such as antidotes. A potion was provided and the man drank it. I did not see any immediate change to the man's being so I am left to conclude that there wasn't any poison, or it was prevented before it had any effect. It would be a few moments later that the fox would commune with me telepathically and I would understand what just transpired.
 
Then, the fifth entered. A small bird creature wearing a cloak wandered into the seating hall and, without addressing any of the four of us, hoisted themselves onto a chair.
 
A small amount of time passed before an Elf wearing a splendid green robe addressed us and directed us into another room.
