Swamped

It looks like a stuffed toy. A bear, of course, what else would it be.

The crowd's still fixated on the kid with your whistle, so you move a little closer. You're not sure you can get all the way to it without drawing attention, but you can get a better look at it, at least.

That's odd. You think you can smell it from here. And it smells like... stew? Has the bartender just been keeping it in the kitchen?

Your train of thought is interrupted as someone walks in through the door. As best as you can tell, it's a priest, accompanied by two guards and the Silent One who ran off earlier.

And they're walking right over to the kid... and drawing the attention of pretty much everyone else in here. The Silent Ones seem very worried about what's going to happen next. Well, that gives you another distraction, at least.

Thing is, those guards are glancing around everywhere. You're not sure if they've noticed the bear, but whether they have or not, you'd prefer to get out without them seeing you.

So what are you going to do?
