The elven woman leans against the wall at a distance of the stranger but close enough to make clear to him that, if she would had liked, she could have taken him by surprise.
”Let’s cut it to point shall we?” She starts trying to startled him and careful in case he grabs the hand crossbow.
”You are not the first one following our associate tonight. Let’s say that the others are either in custody or in their way to their permanent home. Tell me. It is worth it?” She has her hand casually on her sword.
The cloaked figure gives you no responds as you approach, putting his hands up in the air and looks at you, you see this cloaked figure wears owl mask that covers the face and clad in beautiful breastplate of a bird, this person is loaded with equipment and their intent is to kill.
“Heh you’ve got a good eye elf and to answer your question, yes it is worth it! You see this buffoon Crispin? Well a little birdy told me that this man have acquired one of the famous firearms from Whitestone it’s cost a fortune and everyone is dying to get their hands on it! Good for us bounty hunters” The cloaked figured replied back to you Xan’Drila.
“If I were you elf, I’ve would looked behind! Hoothoot he likes to play!” The cloaked man chuckled, as you turn your head Xan’drila you see this strange looking owl is flying straight towards you and explodes into dust!

“Don’t leave yet Mr Crispin! You’re not telling the whole story to Lady Vivien and forgive me Lady Vivien!” Aurillo nods at you as he extends his right arm towards Crispin, black markings appears of this boy’s arms, Crispin you felt a very strange sensation in your body you’ve never experience before and felt like a dark force compels you to halt.

Lyla frowns at the sight of the strange markings. "Easy!" Lyla pauses briefly as the word comes out louder than intended. "We're in the library now. And doing things to Crispin would be... it wouldn't be helping our case all that much. As much as he would be safe here from whatever's following him, he's his own man."
Xan'drila coughs as the poisonous cloud hits her in the face
"That was uncalled for... I only wanted to speak... you moron... "
With a gesture of her hand the poisonous dust cleans of her face. Despite she was still feeling it burning in her throat she tried to apparent that it wasn't.
"A fortune you say? How much is a fortune for you? Perhaps it's petty cash for others..."
Despite her words she puts her back against the wall to avoid more surprises and her hand doesn't leave the pommel of her sword
Xan’drila as you dusts off the poison fog and managed to resist it thanks to your training, the figure you just saw just disappears out of thin air leaving behind a wanted poster of “Crispin” a reward of 1500 gold to capture him dead or alive alongside with his firearms.
As you look closer on the wanted poster, you see a strange insignia on it. Its shape something like a flower and in the middle is a polygon of some sort?

Aurillo looks at Lyla and he sighs to himself as he dropped this of strange esoteric power you’ve never seen anything before. “You’re right Ms Lyla, the emotional side of me controls me… let just temporary halt this conversation on me and talk about Mr Crispin’s wanted poster!”He apologized for his rash behaviour.
“If you want to leave, fine but know this Lady Vivien might have a solution to this even though I’ve just meet her recently! She seems to be a reliable type” He replied as you’re about to exit the room Crispin you see Liesel at the door, oblivious to the situation you had earlier.
“Oh just in time… apologize for waiting too long, just picking up an old friend of the Cobalt Soul! I would like everyone to meet Arcanist Allura Vysoren!” Liesel smiled as she escorts the Arcanist into the room. You see this young beautiful woman to be in her thirties, long blonde hair that is tied into twin pony tails, fair skin and blue eyes as she studies everyone in the room.
“Good Evening everyone, apologize for delaying everyone’s time and it’s nice to meet every one of you here!” She do a small curtsy to every one of you and sit on a nearby chair.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Lyla walks over to Aurillo, and pats his shoulder. "We all do things without thinking sometimes."She grimaces to herself before giving Crispin an apologetic look, despite having not done much to him. "While the idea of you wandering around while trouble seems to follow us is unpleasant, you won't be forced to stay here. At least not by the Archive itself. I just ask that you corroborate what we went through."
As Lieserl returns, and with a new in tow, the half elf gives a polite half bow. "Thank you for coming, Arcanist."
((Would Lyla have heard of Arcanist Vysoren? History check in case: 15 ))

Crispin’s hand immediately went to his scimitar when he realized he was attacked, sword already partially drawn and eyes glaring at Aurillo, the odd little cleric boy. Just as quickly, the attack was released… Even as the weasel worked his words Crispin debated finishing drawing his weapon and ending him. That boy seemed to be around each time there was trouble, poking his nose where an odd little holy man would normally shy away from. He was up to something.
Before Crispin could decide, though, more people entered. Crispin released his sword and gave them room to enter. One even bowed to him, which brought a smirk to his lips. The room was definitely crowded now. Too crowded. If these latest additions have Crispin the distraction he needed to slip out without more trouble then perfect…

We're doing one small murder-y thing for a bigger, better reason. The ends justify the means.
"I brought you in to expl-" She'd cut herself off as he turns to walk off and Aurillo tries to retain him but fails. "You know what? Fine! Leave! I brought you here to give you a damned chance but you do as you do and catch your wind!" She would mutter to herself as she sinks back into a chair, furious and preoccupied trying to quell her own emotions
Allura studies the room for minute waiting for everyone to cool down. “Apologise for intruding everyone’s personal… issues!” She bows down at everyone. “If you don’t feel comfortable staying here, feel free to leave! I’m not offended.” Allura replied in a soft spoken voice, knowing some individuals are not the talkative type and looks at everyone.
@Lyla you do know some facts about this Arcaneist from Tal’dorei, she is a famous figure that help a famous adventuring party save a world crisis long ago. She is popular among scholars and considers her a celebrity within the magic community.
“I’ve have a few questions regarding the incident happening in the islands, I’m doing a research on timespace anomaly, or in simple terms… dimensions! I’ve have a theory on why those island sank and it something to do with the anomaly!” She summons some sort of magic with her fingertips and let it write the note for her.
"I'm willingly to pay a high price if you managed to retrieve something from the site like a artefact, body part of a creature or anything strange and maybe help me record what is causing this problem! I will sponsor any adventuring gear you need to investigate the site, how's that sound hmm?"
"I'm sorry you had to hear it. We..." The surprise of meeting such a high profile person is pretty quickly replaced by embarrassment. "well, we only met when it all happened. It's good to hear someone take what happened seriously. Some of us were planning on returning to Palma Flora, so retriveing something else shouldn't be too much of an issue?"
Lyla looks between everyone who came, some more willing than others. She wasn't willing to speak for the others, even if their current situation wasn't so tense. "We can answer whatever questions you ask to the best of our knowledge. The whole situation was... sudden, and we don't have any concrete theories yet. So it'd be good to see our accounts be put to a possible answer."

Xan'drila takes the sign and folds it. She spent some time trying to see the bountyhunter but after a couple of minutes without a clue of the man she walks back to meet the others. She feels that Crispin needs to be warned about this.
A'ro just looks at the woman and then the group "I'm willing to help however miss. Seems this maybe why I'm sailing with this crew, no reason to fight it."
“I see?” She nods as she shifts her eyes on you Lyla as you’re speaking. “Well I tell you what, you will report to me instead of the authorities, I will deal with them!” She replied to you and shows a special official scroll that she here for business. “Do anyone of you encounter anything strange? Like someone is watching you? in a magical sense, anything weird you saw that you’re not supposed to see?” She arches an eyebrow at you.
“If that is all, you’re free to go now and meet me the usual place as early as possible! Since the island sank into the sea you will need some special equipment for it”
A'ro just looks at the woman "Besides an island sinking and a bunch of Sahuagin attacking a village...nope."he just stands up "Do you know where we could get this equipment? Also I know you said you pay a high price for items retrieved, but would you sponsor our trip as well?"
In her way in Xan'drila finds Crispin leaving the building.
"Speaking of the devil " she says with a smirk but she sees the frown at his face, even when he tries to conceal it.
"Listen Crispin I need to talk with you "she doesn't let the man dodge that conversation and grabs him from the arm,walking with him a short distance towards a fountain from where they can still see the entrance of the building but they have some privacy.
"Never say no to a beautiful woman who drags you to a more private space"says Crispin smiling.
She looks at him and sighs
"Ok, allow me to go straight to the point. Excuse me if I am even blunt. I know your type. You remind me of someone that is... important to me. My mentor, don't get any ideas "she quickly adds when a roguish smile starts to show on his face "You pretend not to care about anything but deep inside, sometimes deeper than others, you do care. I saw how you took care of the refugees on the island and how you jumped to the fight to defend them. You can tell the others that you were just defending yourself but we both know that I won't buy it."
Crispin smile is sincere this time and blushes a little.
"Well I guess you got me. I love to be a free spirit yes, and I could be an opportunist, but that doesn't mean that I do not care or want others to suffer..."
The elf nods.
"Listen, I do not care with what was all that mess in the ship about the cargo. To be honest I was too busy to pay attention, I do not know if you were trying to steal something, I imagine that you were trying to get supplies for the refugees and not only looking for profit, or you caught another one trying to do it... but I think I can help you ease the things with the others. "
Crispin starts to reply to her but she cuts him
"At least that was I thought until the tavern fight and another encounter I just had with other bounty hunter. "At this point, she passes to him the cartel with his reward on it.
"I can relate with living being hunted, and believe me, is not funny. I do not know what you did or where you got those weapons, I don't really care, but I do know that they are going to be after you if you don't fix this. Now, the one that I've encountered was more resourceful that those thugs in the tavern, and for that bounty I could tell that there were be more of them. You should be careful. "
Crispin listens to Xan'drila as she told him about the mysterious man and his owl and the pioson that he threw at her with the cartel on his hands.
"Now, as I see it you have two options. One you come with us to that sunken island. That should calm things down and with a little bit of luck make your trail cold for a time. If when we come back you guys made a name for yourselves that should refrain most of the bounty hunters to go after a notorious person. Kind of hide in plain sight if you follow me. "she winks " Other option is for you to go on your own and hide somewhere or even away from Port Damali. Somewhere where you can have a prosperous life, I wouldn't say peaceful knowing you. Perhaps you could book passage on a ship to the north of Wildemount, or Marquet or even Tal'dorei. I do not know. I will back you in anything you decide. You've earn that much"
She waits for him to respond.
