“One wants to bring me in dead, another alive,” Crispin says with a grin even as Teacup approached and attempts a grapple.

     “Run, A’ro!” Crispin shouts as things don’t immediately go well. “Before they realize you’re worth ten times as much!”

Lyla's gaze drops to the floor. "Sorry about the trouble. Thank you for your time." She says softly to the receptionist.

"We won't be any trouble." She replies to the guards. With a quick motion for her companions to follow, Lyla begins to walk out. Once they get outside, she lets out a sigh. "Maybe we should have gotten a letter of recommendation before coming... It would have given some more credibility to our claims." She glances at Xan'dryla. "I hope you aren't too offended by the bureaucracy of the city. With Port Damali being, well, a large trade center, she isn't lying that her boss would be busy. And I suppose we should have expected some resistance."

Vivien would just eye Xan'dryla from the corner of her eye, like 'Please, please don't push...'  but also...  'Wait, you're a noble as well?!'   

Vivien would bow in response to the receptionist.  "I am sorry for the trouble."  She'd simply say before turning on her heel out the door.  Once out she'd reassure, "The Concord may be very stern about a few things, but they will do their investigation and find us true.  We've done all we could do and that's fine."  She looks around to her companions, but looks to Xan'dryla.  "I get you're very peeved-off by them, but as Lyla said, that's just how it is in Port Damali.  Though more puzzling is your pedigree, I am quite surprised to learn you are a noble of House Fe'la, was it?  That's very interesting to learn!"

The elven woman seems to be about to respond again to the recepcionist but she looks towards Vivien and Lyla and sighs. She tries to keep her composture, but it's obvious that she is failing on that too. Once they are outside she smiles to put her companions at ease. 

"Do not worry I am really surprised by the way she treated us and the matter, but I am more worried than annoyed. I mean, the situation is dire and what happened in Palma Flora could easily happen again in other islands... I... I apologize for that I didn't really know how to talk to someone important and tried to play the offended noble card... but... as you had seen I am not used to behave as such so... I've falied" she shrugs "please accept my apologies." She puts the ring again inside her clothes, away from prying eyes. 

As they walked she tries to answers Vivien's questions.

"My House is an older and respected one in Syngorn, My family used to be Ambassadors in Emon, but many years had passed since I've been in my homestead or my city. " she says. 

As the ladies are escorted outside the building and talking among yourself, you see Lieserl approaches you. “Lyla have you finish talking to the commodore?” She question and looking back at the tavern. “Sorry to bother you but I have to leave you alone Lyla, the Curators have given me another assignment and I have to report back to them and I will bring those two back to the Library as guest!” She replied and looking for the other two companions that disappeared.

“Erm…Where is Crispin and A’ro?” She question then looks at Vivien. “I’ve a hunch that those two will be in trouble, if I remember correctly they headed to an older part The Larboard Light? Looking for some strong drinks!”

Crispin you quickly dodges the charging goliath as you see him tumbling down at the bar, barely catches you!

“Don’t let them escape!” Tank shouted with his squeaky voice.

Lyla waves both of her hands. "It's fine, Xan'dryla. It was just surprising? Though you couldn't give a heads up to it..."

As Lieserl returns, Lyla sheepishly laughs. "Um... to their receptionist, yes." She seems a bit taken aback by the news. "So soon? I was hoping to do some research on some of the things I saw.... oh we have left those two alone for some time, haven't we? Should we look for them?"

A'ro just sighs as Crispin speaks and rubs his head. He just looks out at the rest of the thugs in front of them "Just to be clear, that is a lie I literally met him a few days ago and there is nothing on my head." with that he will just mutter some words in primordial as he touches his chest and begins to float up 20ft and move towards the door.

“Y-yes…but don’t worry I can managed everything by myself! I will let them know that you’re running some errands!” Lieserl replied back to Lyla and bow in apology for leaving her and the group behind, heading back to the tavern to fetch those two people that tagged along with them.

-

“Boss Twinkletoes is getting away!”

“Who cares about him, he don’t anything of value”

“We should mug this guy!”

The lackeys spend their action arguing among themselves and some trying to throw furniture at you misses at you as your floating like a bird.

Crispin turn

     “Squabbling fools,” Crispin sneers as insultingly as possible, drawing his scimitar. Crispin immediately slashed out at “Smarty.”

Scimitar vs Smarty Attack: 14 Damage: 9

     “You low brow, knuckle dragging, swampy assed buffoons! Don’t you know who I am??”

Crispin then uses Action Surge to take another attack, this time moving up to strike out at “Boomer.”

Scimitar vs Boomer Attack: 25 Damage: 6

     Crispin then moves back to and jumps up onto the bar, turning to the thugs… “I spit on all of your mothers, and I regret knocking them up with such as you!” Crispin calls out, and indeed spits out at them with flair.

     Now run, A’ro!  Now while they’re all focused on me! He thinks to himself…

"Thanks" says Xan'drila to Lierserl and then se replies to Lyla 

"Well, I do't use to talk abouut it" she says regarding her origins "and yet I've spoken about it in the past 24 hours than I've done in years" she says smiling. 

"Oh Goodness we should go and find them. Do you think they are drunk already?"

"Emon.  Interesting.  And don't worry about it, there is no need to apologize.  I feel the same way, but despite it all the Clovis Concord are diligent in their efforts." She's say with a smile, intrigued by Xan'drila's history.   Though upon hearing Lyla's mentor addressing her about A'ro and Crispin being around the Larboard Light, the half-elf's eyes would widen.  "I have no worry for A'ro but Crispin seems to type to start something easily in an area like that; We have to go, NOW." She states bluntly as her posture changes to be erect and strict, marching toward the area. As a noble of Port Damali, Vivien was warned of more rowdy taverns, The Larboard Light being one of them, and was taught how to hold herself in such areas to keep herself defended.  

As they march, Vivien would answer Xan'drila's comment with, "He already acts like a drunkard sober, the hell knows what he's capable of with ale in him."

Lyla gives Lieserl an apologetic look. "Sorry. We'll... or at least I, will be there by tonight at the very latest. Though we should be sooner than that if things don't go horribly awry..."

While she usually give people the benefit of the doubt, she has a bad feeling in her gut. So giving themselves extra time seems like a good idea. Lyla hurries after Vivien, occasionally looking around, trying to spot or hear the boys.

((Probably won't need it, but Perception: 19 ))

Despite living all your life in Zadash, you do know your way around Port Damali and memories some parts of Port Damli and not to go any dark alleyways, going parts of the older district of the The Larboard Light. You remember there this infamous tavern that has some controversy with piracy and their business plummeted into the ground known as “The Bard & the Dragon” and now it’s a hotspot for shady and rowdy people.

As you were rushing, you hear a loud scream coming from the building that is ahead of you which is “The Bard & The Dragon” and hearing unpleasant things coming out from this building, Xan’drila and Lyla as you shift your attention to the sound you hear something about Crispin’s having a bounty on his head and the rest are insults to him.

-

Crispin you slash towards Smarty despite him not wearing any protection, Smarty’s body drop onto the ground, bleeding from his body as you hear a scream coming from his sibling as she glare at you with revenge. Then you slash at the Tiefling woman Bommer, as she took a step back, holding her club in hand.

“You owe me a new pair of blouse!” Boomer hissed.

Tank will spit out a fire bolt at you Crispin attempting to burn you.

Xan'drila raises an eyebrow and says to Vivien 

"Seems that you were right..." and she rushes towards the tavern 

"Gods, this isn't good." Lyla trails after her elvish companion, and tries to press herself against the outer wall by the door. For now, she tries to stick out of sight, and see just how much of a mess they are in.

(Trying to Hide, so Stealth: 10 )

A'ro just smiles as he uses the attention to back up closer to the door putting more distance between himself and the group attacking Crispin. He begins to speak primordial launching a gust at 'Teacups' to try and push him away from Crispin. As he tries to get the group to doubt Crispin's identity hopefully.

"Stop this can't you see it's only going shed more blood. Is money really worth it? You don't even know if that actually is the man your looking for do you think this Crispin Barnaby with such a price on his head would be dumb enough to walk into a shit bar in the middle of a well monitored and guarded city. Think for a second!"

And Crispin is.... Grappled.

Xan'drila as you enter the tavern, you see the chaos unfold as you see some thugs attacking Crispin and A’ro attempts to reason with them.

A’ro as you tried to reason with them, some of them doubt about it but Tank the Kobold snaps the group as turns his direction towards you! “Look Twinkletoes, Crispin Barnaby’s bounty worth more than you think! The pretty lady promises us to pay a bonus if we capture that man dead or alive alongside with that Whitestone’s finest firearm!” Tank roared at him as he took out a wanted poster of Crispin Barnaby and an caricature of his face which is shown to you.

The group is not aware of your presences Lyla as they were occupied with the current situation
