Swamped

Well. Back in the day, the first thing you did was check if your old pal - what's his name now, Corvus? - had done the same route. Or you'd check with the other couriers if he wasn't around or didn't know. They could see the boss liked you, so they tended to cooperate to get on your good side.

Not really applicable here, seeing as you've got neither allies nor subordinates.

So when that failed, what you did was look for someone who liked giving orders. Didn't matter who they were, really. The important thing is that if you ask someone like that a question, they like showing off what they know. And if they didn't know, they'd order someone who did to tell you, because they liked showing that they could order people around.

Doesn't seem like it would work too well here, though, considering you're apparently not supposed to speak before you're spoken to. And that might even be a condition of this test, if that's what it is.

So you dig into your memories a little harder. You remember something, from about a month before you alerted the guards on your boss and ran off. He gave you a special job, because he couldn't trust anyone else, and he was very clear that you couldn't talk about it. But all he told you was the name of the recipient, nothing about where to find them.

With all the warnings he'd given you, it was far too risky to ask around. And he left town right after handing you the package, so you couldn't clear it up with him.

On top of that, you remember that it soon became clear that this person didn't want to be found by the general public. Considering that a temple probably isn't trying to hide nearly that hard, it shouldn't take as much work to locate.

So what did you do to track down this elusive person back in the day?
