[Well, this hunter in particular, as his clothes reveal him to be, seems to be in search of something. And he meets the cause of his quest half across town no much further away-- a tavern.
And not any tavern, but probably the most popular one in Samara. Why? Because that's where the best pint must be, of course! And because that's also the best place to start gathering information about the vampire attacks and the rumours about the queen visiting town-- people tend to get so much talkative with a glass in hand.
Even if he goes back to his comrades waiting for him outside the town borders empty-handed (metaphorically), at least he would have been full-handed for a while (literally). A win-win situation, any way you choose to see it.]
