"Herr Meister, vergib uns bitte. Ich weiß, dass die Stunde ist spät, und dass wir kaum angezogen, aber es ist ein Notfall. Wir brauchen dringend Ihre Hilfe."

What the hell...they are meant to be used:

"Herr Meister, I understand you hesitation to let strangers into you store, especially dressed this way. I have $50 US dollars hidden in my foot locker. If you will just let in the old man and the girl, I will give you the money. Surely they don't pose any threat to you"
"These are hard times" the man thinks to himself out load, "But they are also dangerous times"
The elderly man disappears into the shop to return a moment later with a shotgun.
He unlocks the door and steps back into the shop keeping his eyes you at all times
"You can all come in. But don't try anything funny! I'll be expecting that money tomorrow"
The keeper will take up position behind the till with his weapon on the counter.
Inside the shop there are several rows of books all on clearly labeled shelves. There is a raised area labelled "Bibliothek" populated by reference books for all sorts of trades.

"Thank you Herr Meister. You'll get your money as promised." Turning to the hobo Snuffy adds, "We got you into some place warm as promised. Now spill it, what is 'it comes back."

"Herr Meister, wieder einmal, bitte verzeihen Sie unsere Grobheit. Wir würden nie geweckt haben Sie es nicht für eine gerechte Sache."
Searching the bookshop you will easily find books on Germanic history and Legend you will find the following on Teiwaz and the hound
Tyr is represented as a man with one hand, because his right hand was bitten off by the gigantic wolf Fenrir.
At the day of Ragnarok (the apocalypse), Tyr will kill the hound Garm, the guardian of the hell, but will die from the wounds inflicted by the animal.
Snuffy waits as the others speak in German too quickly for him to follow.
"So, we're somehow living out German mythology? Okayyyyy....I've seen weird stuff before but this one is new."
Yeah...I...I frankly don't have any idea what is happening here...now less then before even...
The shopkeeper starts to eyeball the homeless man that came in with you. It's clear the aroma has hit the shopkeeper and he's begining to question his decision to let you in...
"I think we have all the information we will be getting from here. We should be going." Christel says to her companions.
"Ich danke Ihnen für Ihre Zeit, Herr," she says to the shopkeeper.
Snuffy pulls Christel aside and whispers, "We promised to get the old man into someplace warm. I'm paying that shopkeeper 50 U.S. dollars. The least he can do is let the old man warm up, maybe even give him something to eat! Besides, the old man knows something about what's going on. We should talk to him here while he's in a nice warm spot."
Snuffy steers the old man to a chair and has him sit down. "Take a load off old-timer and warm up. I'm sure that our shopkeeper friend won't mind especially seeing how the US Army drove out the Nazi's a couple of days ago."
"Ok buddy, you said 'it starts again, when we were outside. Well, we've seen some down right weird crap going on and maybe our stuff is related to yours. What can you tell us about it and starting again?"
"Ha! Wierd? Yes Weird! The veil thinned by misery and bloodshed! It’s thinnest where those parts are worst. But something else stir the...” The man spins his figure around in a starring motion, seemingly lost for the correct word
Andrew steps between William and the old man on one and the shops owner on the other side, calmly (and with a $50 banknote in his hand) gesturing to the latter to give us time and space.
Here I am, hoping that an old weirdo can help me make sense of last nights events...
"CONSTANTINE!" The homeless Belgian shot out of his seat as he shouted the name
"He saved before... Twice saved us..." the man stops in his tracks and begins to count on his fingers, mumbling to himself.
"Relax my friend, " Snuffy says as he helps the old man sit back down. "So the war is making the veil thin but something or someone else is making things worse. And this has happened before and someone named Constatine helped?"
Constantine? Maybe he will help again. 'You know where we could find him?
The disheveled man ignores the question seemingly engroced in counting on his fingers. He gets to ten, stops a moment and then shakes his head.

Snuffy taps his foot impatiently as the man counts.
"What does this have to do with the Hound and Tiewaz?"
The old man continues to gibber to himself starting to count over again. He gives Snuffy a quick sidelong glance but ultimately ignores the comment.
Suddenly he looks around as if seeing the room for the first time then he shouts out
before launching himself out of the chair and sprinting out of the shop.
Snuffy has no idea what the old man is blithering on about and has gotten very tired of his antics. Despite that, Snuffy moves back into the street to see if he can spot where the old crazy one has gone.
Christel hands a 100 mark bill to the shopkeep and follows the man out of the shop, shouting, "He's trying to find Constantine!"
Andrew points at the books they used:
Keep 'em handy. I will buy them when we get back!
"Do we chase after mister crazy pants?"
Since I won't let that Fräulein chase after him alone, sure looks like it!
And after mister crazy man, Snuffy chases...
Shocked and confused the shop-keeper just nods at you blankly.
You'll recognize the direction the man takes as he runs right back the way he came to the same spot you found him in and curls up into a ball.
So, all said and done, I guess that's a success with one raise.

Whoops! Been a while since I've played. Sorry.
The sun is raising to shed a little light on the town of Kelmis. The sounds of wakefulness are in the air as people start their daily routines and birds begin to sing in the trees. From where the homeless man has curled back up you can clearly see the front of the Cathedral that is being used as a hospital.
On the ground the Belgian rummages in his pockets with his eyes on the ground.
You all realise that you have been awake for almost 24 hours and you didn't get much sleep last night either...

Christel presses forward, despite the clear lack of rest that weighs heavily upon her.
