Tzedaka seems to have no interest in the cart, but considers what this man is doing. (a merchant, traveling between towns, why was his cart sabotogued.)
"Ve vill halp you. Are you a merchant, what town did you leave from and who did you speak with?"
" Oh.......hello Lady. Um, more of an.....amateur....transporter of goods......"
" I left Mirewater about a week back......I didnae speak to nobody Ma'am. I'm trying to sell all this guff. Ain't no future in Mirewater.....specially if your over 5' high."
Banzo looks in the direction he thinks he hears the far off laughter.
"There is a dweomer of some kind over the entire cart, not just the wheel."
He points off into the distance.
"And I am sure I hear laughter from somewhere way off in that direction."

"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
Enwynn, puzzled by the situation, offers "A most unusual sort of impediment!" to Banzo as she wonders what in Erillia's eternal floral dance is going on as she listens for the unseen laughter.

She asks the young human "Is there anyone you might have annoyed in Mirewater who would seek to slow your journey away from it, Journeyman...? I am sorry, I did not catch your name before."
Banzo will move to take a look unless stopped either verbally or physically.
"Maybe someone wants a specific item."

Ennwyn gets the impression the laughter is not as far off as it appears to be......and having lived in Darkwood and travelled among the Moonstone Hills she suspects fay involvement.....
" Jobson Kreek. That's me. Oh, aye. I annoyed everyone in Mirewater......that's why I got out."
In Sylvan, Tzedaka says fairly loudly, "I would like to have a talk with you, privately." She sits down, crossing her legs near a tree (if there are any) and waits patiently.
Banzo will move to help Herman fix the cart, acting as an extra set of hands for him.
"Let's see if we can get this cart back on the road again and help Kreek on his way."

Herman gladly accept's the wiseman's help but, since it does not cost anything, he activates the TRUE SIGHT of his ring
Herman and Banzo set to work on the struts and Herman runs a finger over his ring as he does so......other than the brightly glowing magical energies around his friends he also notes some faint dweomer essence coming from the contents of the wagon and, most clearly, a group of five diminuitive men with sharply pointed ears dressed in baggy green coats and shined boots sitting atop the wagon and laughing to themselves, two of them are watching Tzedaka with amusement as she calls out and the other three are watching Herman and Banzo work though they don't seem to have clocked just yet that Herman can see them.
The angelic woman sits patiently on the ground. She has no real expectation that the fey or whatever they may be will come and talk with her. It they do so, fine, if not, fine.
She prays quietly, her eyes closed, waiting for the group to repair the wagon.
Banzo looks at Herman's silly antics. "That's the first time I've seen you making jokes."

Herman, thinking they are just feys playing tricks, he wants to know how they reply: he sticks out the tongue in a funny manner
This brings an immediate response as the ones watching him stare in shock, one begins frantically casting a spell but the other two stop him. One of those leaps down and lands on Banzos shell looking at Herman critically.....

Banzo looks at Herman's silly antics. "That's the first time I've seen you making jokes."
No sooner has Banzo said this than he feels a slight weight suddenly on his carapace and a high pitched accented voice addresses him and Herman in a whisper, " Whats this about then? Since when can you mob see us? That's cheating that is!"
Kreek: " Jobson Kreek. That's me. Oh, aye. I annoyed everyone in Mirewater......that's why I got out."
"How unfortunate, but perhaps a new place and new customers might prove more fortunate for you, Merchant Kreek?"Enwynn offers by way of polite but genuine consolation.
Kreek: " Dunno what anyone would want...."
The druidess looks mildly amused as she offers "Forgive me for putting my oar in again sir, but that might be why you're not doing as well as you hope to. If you don't know your wares, how will you let potential customers know what you're selling?! Did your mother simply collect things that took her fancy or did she have specific interests in life?"
Her tone is more sympathetic as she adds "If you did not wish to be a traveling merchant, but are simply being a dutiful son to a departed mother's memory, then perhaps you should offer the lot, cart and contents for sale just the once?"

Ennwyn can easily read the gormless young man and that he is as simple as he appears in both thought and ambition.
He appears to latch onto her suggestion though, " Yes! Alright. Seeing as you are here, how much would you pay for the lot...wagon and nag included.......no, that's not right......uh, 500 gold for the lot! Do we haggle now?"
cheating? look who's talking! why do you brake the cart of this poor fellow? do you fin it funny? well, actually, it might be considered funny...not to him anyway. what say you?
Banzo doesn't panic and holds still pretending he can see them as well as Herman as he asks, "This is not the first time we have enjoyed the company of the wee tricksome folk. Can we fix this cart and send poor Kreek on his way?"

“Hum, Dee laughter is Dee source of dee mischief I tink. I can go take a look vile some fox Dee cart.”
Tzedaka will head toward the laughter with maybe Garret or aTannin if they will join. She will try to find the source of the laughter.
"What exactly is in your cargo anyway?"
Banzo will move to take a look unless stopped either verbally or physically.
"Maybe someone wants a specific item."

" Jobson Kreek. That's me. Oh, aye. I annoyed everyone in Mirewater......that's why I got out."
Tzedaka heads away from the road trying to locate the source of the sound but it seems to be shifting every few moments......
" Oh.....mostly the contents of me Ma's house and a bunch of junk I found in the cellar."
" Just a lot of junk but I was hoping someone would want it....might be something of interest there...."
" Dunno what anyone would want...."
