The halfling's eyes get wide. Oh, don't mistake quiet for no trouble. Just the other day, we had one of those snake men in here from the hills! This dwarf that was passin' through killed him! He was wearin' a purple robe...we'll never forget it. He's a hero!

Back and ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.
Following suit with the halfling's expression, Ree'lyn's eyes get wide and his mouth turns into an "o" pretending to be shocked. - "Snake men? Really? A dwarf in purple robe? How... intriguing. Pray, do tell me about that. What was the dwarf's name? What are these snake men?"
Never found out his name...he was asking about escorts into the hills, when this hooded fellow starts asking him his business. The dwarf looked him straight in the eye, then pulled out his dagger and stabbed the tall fellow dead! I think they call 'em...Wan-Tee? Somethin' like that? One of the scaled folk in the Serpent Hills, come down to spy on us! That dwarf’s a hero, make no mistake. But he and his entourage took off straight away for the hills then, quick as cats!

"Ah...Yuan-Ti! Of course." - genuinely interested in the conversation, Ree'lyn thinks of possible connections between the snake folk and the cult of the dragon. - "Spy on you? How so? Do you know what the snake man wanted or who he works for?"
The halfling wrinkles her nose.I don't think they work for anyone...they come here from time to time just to cause some trouble and steal some supplies from us. I guess he was here to see if we had anything good to offer 'em. Betcha they'll think twice about sendin' somebody now, huh?

(Could i wave over a guard? Id like to have an escort through town. Not for me but for the tentfolks peace of mind. If so, Baird would produce the medallion he had received, and explain only the main points. Emphasis on who we were hired by.)
Meep nods with a smile. "Sure. But we should make sure to leave a note or be back by the time they're done." She waves her hand slightly and does a small inscription (like her frog doodle previously) where it would be most visible. "Market"

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Baird
Tha' should do it. Good finkin'.
And they continue the path. Baird is expecting to have people running away or turning away as to not make direct contact with him, but hes looking out for those here who react a bit less to his presence.
The halfling screws her face up, thinking. We don't get a whole lotta unusual like that...haven't even had one of those snake people in a while. Is there anyone in particular you're lookin' for, stranger?

Anyone who Meep notices giving them a weird look will get a short puff of skunk spray smell in the face with a subtle wave of her hand. Her face however is calm, showing no notice to the strange looks.

Anyone 'ere that can 'old dare own in battle? Do *you* feel gen'rally safe? What can ye tell about de bridge and beyond, or de attack dat hap'n recent like?
The guard looks at you in mild indignation. "Of course we can hold our own in battle. This town is safe because of us. If that dwarf hadn't stuck that Yuan-ti, you can be sure we would have handled it. Anyone that attacks the bridge would have to be crazy, or have an army to back them up."

(Question, being out in the wild mostly, would Baird recognize what yaun-ti are?)

Nothing suspicious, Meep.

(Thats an unsettling thought.)
Baird gives a quick glance to the sky, then to the tent farm. (Is there anyone watching Meep and I? )
Perception 14
Nothing other than the glances that a frog riding a minotaur would naturally warrant.

Sure; the guard approaches warily, but visibly relaxes and nods. "Be happy to. Lead the way."

Baird nods and starts to walk closer to the town
Tanks mate. Well lets head to de market area first den 'ave a look round. Whatcha say ta that Meep?
Meep nods with a smile. "Sure. But we should make sure to leave a note or be back by the time they're done." She waves her hand slightly and does a small inscription (like her frog doodle previously) where it would be most visible. "Market"

You notice nothing but curious looks and some gawking.

The weird looks give way to a satisfying look of disgust at the stench.
