Liam managed to slip out of the grapple, and kept running. As they passed the stalls, Liam saw trees. All he needed to do was make it there, and with any luck, he may be able to calm down and figure out what to do.
I thought he hid in the trees
Eldin catches up to Liam again. If Eldin tries grapple the man. This time, as he is close to Liam he whispers, "Don't make this hard. I need you to come with me"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
((He saw the trees. He wasn’t there yet. I was referring to the forested area in the North-East))

Liam is brought into a grapple by the pursuer. He tried to evade the grab, but was too slow. The man spoke to him, telling him that he had to go with him. Liam didn’t want to. He would not. With every part of his being, he did not want to face them. He knew where this would go. He would be brought to THEM. He would be forced to face their fury and anger and hunger for vengeance...He can’t. He won’t!

Eldin is pushed to the ground. As he gets up Liam gets a head start. Eldin chases him down again but doesn't catch up until they get to the forest. Once out of sight of the crowd, he prepares a Guiding Bolt at Liam. "Listen! I want to talk business with you. Refuse and I will hand you over to the guards."
Liam...didn’t like this. The man said that he was trying to talk business, but he had an attack readied. Liam didn’t like this at all. Who was he? What did he want? But now there was nowhere left to go but deeper into the forest...that was not something he wanted to do anytime soon.so Liam had to show that he wasn’t going to just do what the man wanted without ensuring that he meant no true harm.
Liam slowly took the battleaxe in hand, while his other hand was prepared to grab and use the Gem of Brightness again. His head hurt, but he managed to respond,
”Business? What business?”

"*****": Level 1 Tiefling Sorcerer - Her family is dead, and her will is broken. She follows orders so that those that command her will allow her to die.
Eldin, still holding on to the spell, says, "The guards posted a wanted poster of you. Dead or Alive. Murdered some Mariam Whitmore and her traveling buddies. I assume those guys were her escorts. However, they offered a measly 100 gp which, in my opinion, is too little for a job like this. So I'm more interested in getting to know what happened with the Noble brat and her band of escorts. If I were you, I'd talk. 100 gp is not much but it's better than nothing since I already took this much effort to try and talk to you."
Liam grit his teeth in response to the mention of the noble girl. When a guy goes and tackles you several times, then readies himself for a fight, that doesn’t inspire trust in any respect. Less so when the man still looks ready to fight.
”What’s it to you? What reason could you possibly have to know anything about it?”

Liam’s head continued to hurt, but that didn’t stop him from giving a pained chuckle.
”I doubt there’s anything you can do that could help me.”
His Head throbs some more.
”You’re trying to get information about what happened out of me. You’re assuming that I ran because I was the one that did it...”

Eldin can't help but laugh at the last sentence. "I have been in this business long enough to know that things aren't always what they seem. Especially when nobility is concerned. I'm trying to get information out of you because your description was posted and 'Liam' was listed as the culprit's name. Your name AND your description won't coincidentally match with the culprit's. However, that poster isn't enough to convince me it was you who did it. What it does lead me to believe though, is that you are connected to that case in one way or another. You say I can't help you. Well, we won't know for sure unless you tell me, now will we? Even if I can't do anything to help you out, I'd still like to know the story. Look at the position you're in. Even if I just wanted the information for no reason whatsoever, it is still in your best interest to spill it."
Eldin signals to his rapier and his spell. "I can kill you right now if I wanted to but I haven't. Start talking. Now!"
Frustrated that he wasn't able to find anywhere to hone his skills, Nykkan finishes off the second mini leg and returns to the Glory and orders the daily special.

The daily special is 1 gp It's a sandwich Eldin likes to make. It has slices of hard boiled eggs, raw onion rings, tomato slices, a single slice of cheese, cucumber slices between two slices of bread. It also has some salt and pepper added in. On one bread, there's butter and the other slice has tomato paste (sauce). Nykan is served two of these sandwiches.
