[ Solhaven, North Market] The crush of the crowd is almost overwhelming here in the center of the market. Peddlers wheeling small carts push their way through, shouting loudly. Nearby, a group of dwarves argue heatedly with a local merchant. You also see some woth flower, some light leather, a squalid canvas pavilion, an old barrel, a wooden bench with some stuff on it, the Belts booth, the Small Blades stand and the Muffinsmith's stall. Also here: Maimara, Jagyr, Ayzel Obvious paths: north, south, east, west, northeast, southeast, southwest

(Tepkin glances about nervously)

Maimara raises an eyebrow.

You glance at Maimara.

You gulp.

You nervously say, "ut oh..."

Maimara peers quizzically at you.

Maimara asks, "What?"

(Tepkin stares at Maimara's face for a minute, with a puzzled look on his face)

You scratch your head.

You nervously say, "I.."

You sigh.

You nervously say, "can't tell..."

You gulp.

(Jagyr glances over the halfling staring at Maimara with a slight smirk.)

Maimara says, "Sure you can."

Jagyr makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...

Jagyr gestures. Jagyr appears to be keenly aware of his surroundings.

Jagyr searches around for a moment.

(Maimara grabs Tepkin's arm and squeezes it roughly.)

Maimara says, "Out with it."

Jagyr makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...

Jagyr gestures. Jagyr appears to be keenly aware of his surroundings.

You let out a yelp!

You nervously exclaim, "ouch!"

You nervously exclaim, "help help!"

Jagyr says, "You can tell us. There is no one here watching."

You nervously exclaim, "they after me!"

Jagyr smiles faintly at Topkin.

(Tepkin tries to pull away from Maimara)

Maimara says, "No, but I will be if you don't speak up."

Maimara tries to pull you towards her.

You nervously exclaim, "I don't wanna go back!"

Jagyr moves to stand behind you.

Maimara says, "Tell me and I'll let you go."

You nervously exclaim, "They wants to kill me!"

You sniff.

You nervously exclaim, "All cause of an accident!"

(Jagyr rests his hands on Tepkin's shoulders, barely having to lift them from his sides at all.)

Maimara says, "No, sir, I don't kill people."

Maimara says, "Out with it."

You pant.

You take a deep breath.

You nervously exclaim, "scaring poor halflings half to death!"

You sniff.

(Maimara lets go of Tepkin and takes a step back.)

Maimara folds her arms over her chest.

(Jagyr gives a small encourage shove.)

Jagyr mutters encouraging.

You turn around.

(Tepkin gazes up at Jagyr)

Jagyr says, "Speak up."

Lady Nanci's group just arrived.

You sit down.

You pout.

Maimara says, "The elves are after everyone."

Jagyr asks, "You're in Solhaven. What would Elves be doing here?"

You nervously exclaim, "they sent archers after me! want me dead!"

Maimara shifts her weight.

You nervously exclaim, "I trieds to hides, but they just follows more!"

Maimara asks, "What has this got to do with me?"

Jagyr says, "You're a little edgy for an old man."

Jagyr chuckles.

Jagyr asks, "What did you do to them?"

Jagyr raises an eyebrow in your direction.

You nervously say, "I couldn...and still can't tell....if you're one of them..."

You nod to Maimara.

You nervously exclaim, "Ye look halfway like em!"

Maimara says, "I do *not* look like an elf."

Maimara scowls at you.

You nervously exclaim, "enoughs to confuse me!"

You nod.

You nod.

You nervously exclaim, "elves got slender limbs!"

(Maimara clenches a fist and makes a threatening move towards Tepkin.)

Maimara growls ferociously!

You gulp.

Jagyr whispers, "Maybe we are with them. Tell us what we want to know."

(Tepkin scoots back hurriedly)

You nervously exclaim, "It was an accidents, I swears!"

(Jagyr stands solidly behind Tepkin, not moving even slightly as he bumps into him.)

You turn around.

A pelican half flaps, half waddles in.

You gulp.

You idly pick at some singed cerulean robes.

Jagyr whispers, "I don't believe you."

You nervously exclaim, "I...I...accidently blew up ona deir workshops!"

You sniff.

Maimara says, "It has been my experience that there are no accidents, any more."

A pelican half flaps, half waddles south.

You nervously exclaim, "It was truly an accident!"

You nod.

You nod.

You nervously say, "No one believes me though..."

You sniff.

You pout.

Maimara says, "I don't care about what happened in the Elven city."

You nervously say, "I am not safe anywhere.."

Jagyr says, "Accident or not, it's still a crime."

Jagyr says, "And we all must pay for our crimes, at one time or another."

Maimara says, "I just want to know what the deal is with you giving me strange looks."

You nervously exclaim, "Accidents aren't crimes!"

You flail your arms about.

You nervously exclaim, "As I saids...I couldn't tell if you were one of em!"

You nod to Maimara.

Maimara says, "No, but lying is."

Jagyr says, "I wonder..." he looks up at Maimara for a momment, "if there is a reward for his capture."

You nervously exclaim, "no bounty noo!"

Maimara rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Maimara says, "I bet there is."

You nervously exclaim, "They sent archers after me..why woulds they want to pay anyone else!"

Maimara asks, "I bet he's being tracked. Did you lead the elves here, little man?"

Jagyr says, "You blew up one of their airships. I'm sure they'll offer us something for your capture."

You nervously exclaim, "I didn't blow up an airship...you aren't listening!"

(Tepkin offers Jagyr the end of his robes so he can rub the earwax out of his ear)

Maimara is admiring you.

You belt out, "Help Help, Tepkinnaping Tepkinnaping!"

(Jagyr gives Tepkin another little shove toward Maimara, nodding to her.)

(Tepkin glances at the bruises beginning to form on his arm)

You nervously say, "but it was just an accident..."

Jagyr put a small statue in his spidersilk cloak.

You nervously exclaim, "oof!"

A swarm of tiny spiders suddenly appears from beneath the folds of Jagyr's spidersilk cloak and seals the opening in the cloak with their silk.

You hear someone laughing softly nearby.

You nervously exclaim, "leave me alones!"

Maimara says, "Arse first. Rewards are bigger when they're alive."

Salrynna just arrived.

(Tepkin runs around in a circle around Jagyr and then behind Maimara)

(Jagyr jumps at Tepkin, looking a little humiliated after the experiance.)

Jagyr sneers at you.

You nervously exclaim, "Helps!"

Jagyr tries to pull you towards him.

(Maimara's arm snaps around and grabs at Tepkin.)

Maimara says, "Get back here"

Jagyr says, "Come here you little rat."

(Tepkin runs out of Maimara's reach)

Salrynna just went southeast.

(Tepkin runs under the bench)

Jagyr casts growled aspersions into mid-air.

Maimara asks, "Do halflings bite?"

Maimara peers quizzically at Jagyr.

You are now in a defensive stance.

A hairy spider lurking just inside a fold of Jagyr's spidersilk cloak skitters out of view.

Jagyr exclaims, "Don't give him any ideas!"

You gulp.

Maimara asks, "Well I don't know, do they carry diseases?"

Jagyr says, "Go around that side of the bench."

Jagyr points east.

Jagyr says, "I'll go around this side."

Maimara nods.

Maimara stands up.

(Tepkin talks to himself, "This isn't good, Tepkin")

Maimara strides a few steps toward a wooden bench.

You fret.

(Maimara shakes the backpack towards the bench.)

Maimara says, "Come out, come out..."

(Jagyr starts to walk around the right side of the bench, mimicing Maimara's movements on the other side.)

Jagyr strides a few steps forward.

(Tepkin talks to himself, "Think Tepkin think!")

Maimara just tried to kick the bench!

Maimara shrieks!

Maimara exclaims, "I broke my toe!"

You remove a dented steel butcher's cleaver from in your cerulean robes.

You nervously exclaim, "back!"

Jagyr sneers at you.

Maimara wobbles, looking a bit faint.

Maimara kneels down.

You nervously exclaim, "and leaves me alones!"

Jagyr says, "Put that away, Tepkin..."

(Tepkin swings his cleaver out from between the seats of the bench at Jagyr's toes)

Jagyr takes a few steps back.

You nervously exclaim, "I am not goin backs, they will kills me!"

Maimara removes an ash-handled silver skinning knife from in her floor-length cloak.

Maimara says, "Grab him by the hair."

Maimara says, "If we bring his head, they'll give us something, I'm sure."

Jagyr says, "I'm not getting near that cleaver."

Jagyr says, "You do it."

(Tepkin runs to the otherside of the bench)

Maimara asks, "What...?"

You wave your butcher's cleaver around.

Maimara says, "Hey, this was *your* idea."

You nervously exclaim, "back!"

Maimara says, "Not mine."

Maimara says, "You do it."

Jagyr grunts.

Jagyr utters a light chant and raises his hands, beckoning the lesser spirits to his aid...

Maimara says, "I'm not going to go home and have a bunch of damn scars and missing toes to account for."

A white glow rushes away from Maimara.

Njorn just arrived.

(Tepkin waves his cleaver around franctically, almost hitting Maimara's toes)

Maimara seems slightly different.

Njorn just went southwest.

Maimara seems hesitant, looking unsure of herself.

Maimara exclaims, "You little sewer rat!"

(Jagyr gestures at Tepkin, sending a flurey of webbing at him, but misses due to his tiny nature.)

Jagyr curses darkly, his eyes narrowing in spite.

You nervously say, "ut oh..."

(Maimara jerks back out of the way, losing her balance and falling.)

Maimara falls over.

Jagyr removes a dagger from in his large sack.

Jagyr says, "That's enough.."

(Tepkin runs to the other side of the bench)

Jagyr pulls Maimara to her feet.

Maimara shrieks!

You wave your butcher's cleaver around.

You nervously exclaim, "back I saids!"

You nervously exclaim, "And leave me be!"

(Maimara stands on one foot, holding the other one lamely, leaning against the barrel.)

Maimara says, "He broke my toe."

Maimara exclaims, "I'll break his neck!"

Njorn just arrived.

You nervously exclaim, "You broke your own toe!"

Jagyr says, "Hmm."

Jagyr says, "I have an idea."

Njorn just went north.

Salrynna just arrived.

Jagyr traces a simple rune while intoning a short, mystical phrase...

You nervously say, "No you don't"

Jagyr gestures at you.

Your eyesight becomes blurred slightly.

Maimara says, "My toe wouldn't be broken if YOU didn't run away."

A stooped old woman shuffles in.

(Tepkin runs out from under the bench, knocking his head against the seat along the way)

(Jagyr jumps at Tepkin, grabbing ahold of his cleaver while he's distraacted!)

You fall over. Clumsy oaf!

Jagyr glances around, looking a bit less confident.

The tingling sensation and sense of security leaves Jagyr.

(Tepkin rubs his forehead with his other hand)

(Maimara hobbles after Jagyr and Tepkin, holding the backpack open.)

You gaze up into the heavens.

A stooped old woman pulls her shawl more closely about her.

Maimara says, "Headfirst, this time."

(Jagyr wrestles with Tepkin, trying to pull the cleaver away.)

A stooped old woman accidentally bumps into one of the townspeople. She apologizes and they chat a moment, obviously having met a time or two before.

(Jagyr quickly holds his dagger to Tepkin's neck.)

Jagyr says, "Settle down."

(Tepkin watches as his cleaver cuts off a wad of Jagyr's hair)

Jagyr growls ferociously!

Maimara stares at you.

(Tepkin weakly waves his cleaver about)

Maimara says, "He's brave."

(Tepkin runs out of Jagyr's reach)

Jagyr scowls at you.

A stooped old woman makes her careful way south.

(Tepkin runs behind the booth, poking his head barely out to see)

(Jagyr shakes his foot out.)

Maimara says, "Jagyr."

Jagyr abruptly says, "What."

Maimara asks, "Why are we catching him?"

Maimara scratches her head.

Jagyr says, "We're going to turn him in and make them pay us a reward."

You nervously exclaim, "theres no rewards for accidents!"

Jagyr says, "Bah, I'm begining to think he's not worth it."

Salrynna wandered over to the Belts booth.

A stooped old woman shuffles in.

Jagyr says, "He's more trouble than I want to deal with."

Jagyr grunts.

Jagyr says, "Little bastard."

Nephta just arrived.

You nervously exclaim, "They dun believe it is an accident!"

Jagyr whispers, "(Maim's lost her connection...)"

A stooped old woman makes her careful way east.

You nervously exclaim, "And da grand mage has a grudge against me!"

You nervously exclaim, "he never liked me!"

Salrynna just arrived.

Salrynna wandered over to the Small Blades stand.

Jagyr asks, "What were you doing on one of their airships?"

You nervously say, "I wasn't on an airship"

Maimara scowls.

Maimara put an ash-handled silver skinning knife in her floor-length cloak.

Basteon just arrived.

You nervously say, "I was studyin in deir Mages' guild's tower."

Maimara asks, "Did you get him yet?"

You nervously exclaim, "studyin the scroll they had told me to learns!"

Maimara folds her arms over her chest, glancing at Jagyr.

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched. The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

Jagyr asks, "Does it look like it?"

Jagyr glances at Maimara.

Jagyr asks, "What scroll is that?"

Maimara asks, "Well what am I supposed to do?"

You tighten your grip on your butcher's cleaver.

You come back into focus.

Maimara says, "I'm not so sure about the Illstimi."

You nervously exclaim, "even more reason nots to go back to Illistim!"

Jagyr says, "I heard stories about the guillotine."

Your eyesight clears.

Maimara says, "If I were you, I'd not go back to Illstim... because of the war"

act rubs his sore eyes(Tepkin rubs his sore eyes)

Maimara says, "You'd get eaten alive by some Luukosian thing-or-another."

Maimara says, "Or maybe the Elves would just use you for bait."

You nervously exclaim, "I dun wanna go back, they'd kill me!"

Maimara says, "Fine."

Maimara offers Jagyr a heavy backpack.

Maimara mutters under her breath.

Jagyr put a dagger in his large sack.

Jagyr accepts Maimara's heavy backpack.

You nervously say, "They don't think it was an accident."

Maimara raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...

(Tepkin talks to himself, "someone has got to believe you, Tepkin")

Maimara raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...

Maimara gestures.

A pearlescent emanation extends outward to encompass Maimara and those nearby.

Maimara says, "They probably think you're working for the Alliance."

Maimara nods to you.

You nervously say, "I didn knows, I couldn't reads it yet"

Maimara examines you closely, sizing you up and taking note of all the details.

Maimara says, "Maybe he could be useful."

You nervously say, "thats why I was practicin, to read it..."

Maimara rubs her chin thoughtfully.

You nervously say, "I was readin it by tha fireplace and well, the scroll got too close to the fire..."

You nervously say, "so I waves me arms about franctically trying to put the scroll out..."

Jagyr asks, "What were you sitting that close to the fire for?"

Jagyr slowly empties his lungs.

You nervously exclaim, "I was colds!"

(Maimara carefully edges a little closer to Tepkin.)

You nervously exclaim, "and the fire was warms!"

(Tepkin runs around to the other side of the booth, peeking out)

Maimara examines her fingernails.

Jagyr asks, "Then what happened?" taking a few slow steps closer to Tepkin, "You fell out of the tower?"

Salrynna just arrived.

(Tepkin glances over his shoulders behind him)

Maimara comes out of hiding.

Salrynna sits down.

A peglegged cat hobbles in with a distinct lack of grace.

Maimara moves to stand behind you.

The peglegged cat rubs against Salrynna's leg, stepping on Salrynna's foot with his peg leg.

Maimara says, "Boo."

You flail your arms about.

You fall over. Clumsy oaf!

(Jagyr runs toward Tepkin, sending him scrambling back toward Maimara.)

Jagyr starts chortling.

Maimara hurls herself at you!

Maimara flies a bit wide and lands in a heap on the ground.

You wave your butcher's cleaver around.

Jagyr folds his arms over his chest.

A peglegged cat prowls about the street, limp not diminishing his intimidating saunter in the least.

Maimara swears under her breath.

(Tepkin wacks Maimara's hand with the blunt end of his cleaver)

Maimara shrieks!

(Maimara yanks her hand back, swearing profusely.)

(Tepkin stands up slowly)

You stand back up.

Maimara asks, "Are you going to let him get away with that?"

Maimara glowers darkly at Jagyr.

(Tepkin slowly scoots away from Maimara and Jagyr)

(Jagyr just shrugs.)

Jagyr says, "You were never that nice to me"

Jagyr glances at Maimara.

Jagyr glances at you.

(Maimara puts her bruised finger in her mouth.)

You nervously exclaim, "sos when I lands in the haycart, I hears people yellin 'Tepkin Tepkin, get back heres!"

Jagyr says, "I have another idea... This one is sure to work."

Maimara looks downright miserable.

A peglegged cat looks over the area with his one good eye.

You nervously exclaim, "so I dids what came naturally to me, I hids!"

As Salrynna pulls on her crystal amulet, her expression grows darker.

Jagyr chuckles.

Jagyr traces a sign that contorts in the air while he forcefully incants a dark invocation...

A peglegged cat suddenly pounces forward, leaping after a mouse that scurries across his path. As the rodent scurries away the cat dashes after it, his wooden stump not seeming to hinder his hunting abilities.

You nervously exclaim, "ands I been runnin ever since!"

You nervously exclaim, "cause they sent archers after me!"

Jagyr says, "If he can't remember... We can just wait for the elves to come get him."

Maimara glowers.

Jagyr nods to you.

Jagyr gestures at you. You suddenly can't remember what you were thinking about a moment ago.

A peglegged cat walks about the room with a *pad-pad-pad-thump*, obviously the lord of his territory.

You hear the sound of someone mumbling underneath their breath.

(Tepkin glances around nervously)

Maimara says, "You should have made him forget about that stupid cleaver of his."

Your memory seems sharper now.

You nervously exclaim, "aha!"

You raise your butcher's cleaver in triumph!

You wave your butcher's cleaver around.

A peglegged cat walks about the room with a *pad-pad-pad-thump*, obviously the lord of his territory.

(Maimara sucks on her finger, glaring maliciously at Tepkin.)

Maimara says, "I hate halflings."

You nervously exclaim, "your own fault!"

You nod to Maimara.

You nervously exclaim, "You leaped, I shrieked, and you got hit!"

A peglegged cat walks about the room with a *pad-pad-pad-thump*, obviously the lord of his territory.

Jagyr mutters under his breath.

Jagyr says, "Blasted spell must not work on halflings."

Lilleyheart just arrived.

A peglegged cat prowls about the street, limp not diminishing his intimidating saunter in the least.

(Tepkin runs behind Lilleyheart, hiding)

Lilleyheart blinks.

You move to stand behind Lilleyheart.

Lilleyheart turns to face you.

You point at Maimara.

Jagyr asks, "Would you do us a favor and hold him still?"

Maimara says, "Stupid halflings."

You point at Jagyr.

Jagyr smiles at Lilleyheart.

Salrynna meditates over Lilleyheart.

Salrynna takes Lilleyheart's right leg damage.

You nervously exclaim, "theys after me!"

Maimara begins pouting.

Lilleyheart chuckles.

A peglegged cat narrows his one eye suspiciously. With a low growl he walks towards Lilleyheart, then stops, reaches out, and bites Lilleyheart's leg! Satisfied that his dominance has been established, the cat turns and hobbles to another part of the area.

Jagyr says, "He's wanted by the Illistim."

Salrynna removes a comical periwinkle toy halfling from in her black stalking cloak.

The air calms down around Jagyr.

You nervously exclaim, "they wants me deads cause of an accident!"

Jagyr gestures while calling upon the lesser spirits for aid...

Jagyr gestures.

The air thickens and begins to swirl around Jagyr.

Lilleyheart rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Jagyr says, "Not dead."

Lilleyheart asks, "Well... what yas do?"

Lilleyheart peers quizzically at you.

You nervously exclaim, "Illistim's archers want me dead!"

Jagyr says, "Just... we want the reward for his capture."

A peglegged cat sits down and begins meticulously grooming his peg leg.

Lilleyheart rubs her chin thoughtfully.

You nervously say, "I accidently blew up a workshop in deir mages' guild.."

You sniff.

You nod to Lilleyheart.

Lilleyheart winces.

Jagyr says, "The Illistim can do whatever they want with him."

(Maimara pulls her injured finger from her mouth and inspects it carefully.)

Lilleyheart shakes her head, clucking her tongue.

You nervously exclaim, "They sent archers after me!"

The peglegged cat thumps his peg leg on the ground a couple times, tail swishing in irritation. With an annoyed heave he gets to his feet, then gives an immense yawn.

Lilleyheart says, "Hmm... well i think I can see why..."

Jagyr mutters workshop.

Jagyr grunts.

Lilleyheart says, "Ya prolly cost em quite a bit of silver..."

Jagyr scratches his ear.

You nervously exclaim, "it was an accidents!"

Lilleyheart just nudged Jagyr.

Lilleyheart softly asks, "How much is dat reward?"

Maimara says, "He's mean with that cleaver."

You nervously exclaim, "I was just tryin to stay warms by the fireplace!"

You nervously exclaim, "there is no reward for accidents!"

Jagyr says, "We're not sure yet."

Lilleyheart chuckles.

Salrynna murmurs a simple, mystical chant...

Salrynna gestures.

Salrynna's right leg looks better.

(Tepkin runs from behind Lilleyheart under the bench)

The peglegged cat thumps his peg leg on the ground a couple times, tail swishing in irritation. With an annoyed heave he gets to his feet, then gives an immense yawn.

Maimara says, "If you can get him in the bag..."

Jagyr says, "We haven't located the individuals tracking him yet."

Maimara says, "We'll split the reward with you."

Lilleyheart rubs her chin thoughtfully.

You wave your butcher's cleaver around.

You nervously exclaim, "Leave me alones!"

A peglegged cat walks about the room with a *pad-pad-pad-thump*, obviously the lord of his territory.

You nervously exclaim, "I dun wanna die, its bad for my health!"

Maimara says, "You won't die."

Jagyr says, "He's like a little rat. You have to be quick."

You nervously exclaim, "they will kills me!"

Maimara says, "Grab his hair."

Lilleyheart says, "I'm sure dey want ya ta rebuild what ya destroyed..."

A peglegged cat hobbles west, peg leg thudding against the ground.

Lilleyheart says, "Ya be fine... I'm sure"

You nervously exclaim, "I cants build!"

Lilleyheart nods to you.

Lilleyheart asks, "Oh... den... recompinsation?"

Maimara glowers.

Jagyr says, "I'm sure you'll have pleanty of time to learn."

You nervously exclaim, "I trieds to talk to the archers...all they did was shoot at me!"

Lilleyheart says, "Gonna have ta work for what ya did..."

Lilleyheart rubs her chin thoughtfully.

You nervously exclaim, "I'm sure they got special silvers set aside for accidents, its natural for dem elves!"

Lilleyheart snickers.

You hear someone laughing softly nearby.

Jagyr makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...

Jagyr gestures.

Jagyr appears to be keenly aware of his surroundings.

Salrynna searches around for a moment.

Lilleyheart coughs.

Maimara exclaims, "He smashed my finger!"

Lilleyheart asks, "But... dun ya wanna do whats right?"

You nervously exclaim, "cause you got too close!"

Lilleyheart peers quizzically at you.

Jagyr says, "He smashed *my* foot."

Salrynna gives her periwinkle toy halfling a warm hug.

Jagyr scoffs at Maimara.

Lilleyheart says, "Ya acting like a criminal..."

(Maimara pops her slightly swollen finger back in her mouth and glares at nothing in particular.)

You nervously exclaim, "I trieds to, and they trieds to kill me!"

Lilleyheart rubs her chin thoughtfully.

You nervously say, "You should get your foot looked at...it looks broken..."

You nod to Jagyr.

Maimara says, "Oh, now I"m really going to kill him."

Jagyr shifts his weight.

Maimara stands up.

Maimara removes an ash-handled silver skinning knife from in her floor-length cloak.

You wave your butcher's cleaver around.

(Maimara's hand snaps out towards Tepkin.)

Edanil's group just arrived.

(Tepkin wacks Maimara's other hand with the blunt end of his cleaver)

Edanil's group just went north.

Maimara screams!

A swarm of tiny spiders suddenly appears from beneath the folds of Jagyr's spidersilk cloak and weaves an opening in the silk.

You nervously exclaim, "backs!"

Maimara exclaims, "You little... You little... jerk!"

Lilleyheart shakes her head, clucking her tongue.

(Maimara cradles her freshly bruised hand gingerly.)

Lilleyheart chuckles.

Lilleyheart says, "Sure yas do..."

Maimara says, "Not a bag."

Maimara mutters something about backpack.

Lilleyheart says, "Jus need a big one.."

Maimara put an ash-handled silver skinning knife in her floor-length cloak.

Maimara sits down.

(Jagyr hobbles toward Tepkin, talon in hand, making sure to stay out of range of the cleaver.)

Jagyr shifts his weight.

Mendglar just arrived.

(Tepkin edges further away under the bench)

(Salrynna debates replacing her toy halfling with Tepkin.)

Mendglar put an imflass axe in his leather sheath.

Mendglar slings a warped gold imflass kite shield over his shoulder.

Mendglar just went southeast.

You glance at Salrynna.

You nervously exclaim, "Noo!"

You nervously exclaim, "I am not a toy to be trifled with!"

Lilleyheart rubs her chin thoughtfully.

You nervously say, "Wells, I was in da tower tryin to keep warm by da fireplace and reads me scroll.."

You nod to Salrynna.

Jagyr says, "He mangled a workshop, in Illistim I assume."

A peglegged cat hobbles in with a distinct lack of grace.

Maimara says, "They need empaths in Illstim's dungeons, too."

Maimara nods to Salrynna.

Maimara says, "Harboring a fugitive... serious crime, you know."

Jagyr asks, "You don't want to be arrested for aiding a criminal, do you?"

You nervously exclaim, "they trying to take you too now!"

Jagyr raises an eyebrow in Salrynna's direction.

Lilleyheart raises an eyebrow.

A peglegged cat prowls about the street, limp not diminishing his intimidating saunter in the least.

The wall of force disappears from around Jagyr.

Salrynna says, "I'm not sure where exactly Illstim is? As for being arrested, give my family I don't think that will happen anytime soon. Too many jail breaks and the such."

Maimara shrugs.

Maimara gestures while calling upon the lesser spirits for aid...

Maimara gestures into the air.

Salrynna asks, "So, what exactly did you do, Tepkin?"
