"So the owner have made a pact, but we don't know what the hags wants in returns - probably not something good I guess. Could it be why people loose things here ? It also seems that your patron or deity Zybilna have disappeared. Could that be linked to the hags ? Did they get rid of Zybilna ? I am curious now."
Hazel takes her time, that was a lot to take in.She then continues: "By the way, you haven't told us you name Kenku. But I am wondering, if we try to get some answers from the owner, would you help us ?"
Kettlesteam thanks Peppermint for taking the manacles off and continue with Hazel's conversation "Right! I'm sorry, my name is Kettlesteam...I really fear that Zyblina's silence is related to the hourglass coven but due to our pact I can't reach Prismeer myself, so I'm stranded in the material plane looking for answers." By now the Kenku who was on the ground at the beginning of the interaction stood up and hit the sides of her robe to dust off as much dirt as possible, looked up to Hazel to answer if she was willing to help them "Of course, count me in...oh and I must confess that I took Candlefoot's voice (the Hand at the Hall of illusions) but I'll make sure to return it as soon as we take care of the owners. If that's Ok with you"
Andrick’s jaw drops, aghast. ‘This is worse than we feared. If you knew a fraction of the stories I’ve heard about Hags…’ he takes a steadying breath ‘It explains the disappearances. Witch and Light have much to answer for. This gives us the leverage that we need - we just need to get one of them alone…’
Peppermint groans. "This was so simple. You guys were going to perpetrate a heist on Witch or Light, and I was going to just wander off somewhere else and pretend not to notice."
Now, I'd be happy to let them rot in some hag's belly, but whatever they've done could blow back on all the people who work here, good people," she waves vaguely at the entirety of the Carnival. "So now, I have to stop them. Do we still need to steal the watch, or do you think we can just confront Witch with what we know?"
She turns to Kettlesteam, "Did you ever confront them? What happened?"

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
"As for Kettlesteam, we could certainly use her mimicry and disguise self abilities. She could certainly draw Mr Witch out by playing a convincing Mr Light"
Peppermint pulls out a set of manacles, and oh so gently puts them on the heckler, so as not to shake him to wake him. Then she lets Yoli hogtie him. If he tries before she can, she will stop him, reminding him that sleeping people wake up if you shake them.
Elle, gently holds them down whilst they are being tied up
“Question him, probably with magic,” Peppermint says, “Then they’ll probably enchant him to forget all of this, and spit him out on the Material somewhere random. Or,” she considers, “It’s possible Witch or Light will come to some arrangement and hire him. For all we know this was an audition.”
”In any case, we,” she indicates the gathered persons, “don’t have him for very much longer, so if there’s anything you need out of him, now or never. And I’m not kidding about never.”
"And if magic doesn't work, I can use brute force"
Elle whispered, fiddling with the ice knife spell she has in reserve

Elle has never seen a kenku before, she is a bit skeptical about their words.
"Are you sure we can trust you... because we won't hesitate..."
After taking his rest, Yoli joins the group, performs a bow, and addresses Kettlesteam, "Well met, Kettlesteam, my name is Yoli. Sorry about the sleep spell, but we didn't know about your intentions. It seems upon listening to your story that yours and our purposes have aligned somewhat. We have a plan in motion that we feel will put Mr Light and Mr Witch at a disadvantage. Our plan is steal his pocket-watch in order to disrupt the operation of the fair, thereby putting them in a bind. We have a cupcake here which grants the one who eats it invisibility for an hour, plus this potion that helps the one who drinks it perform tasks, plus a a bard who inspires and a druid who can draw on the power of nature to help. Putting all of these together, we feel that we should be able to get away with stealing Mr Witch's watch. It seems to me that you have a skillset that could certainly help in the execution of this plan. You have the ability to disguise your appearance, and are able to mimic the voices of Mr Light ad Mr Witch. Would you be willing to use these abilities to convincingly play Mr Light in order to draw Mr Witch out of his wagon while Mr Light is away crowning the monarch? As you have found out, I have a handy spell for putting people to sleep, so we shouldn't have any trouble dealing with anyone who may stand in the way of us accessing their wagon."

Andrick takes a breath to help ground himself. ‘You might be onto something there, Yoli. If there’s anything the stories about hags have in common it’s the disappearances…’
He turns to face Kettlestream ‘I lost my parents eight years ago. I think it is related to your loss too. We have to work together on this, make sure we get answers…’ he offers her his hand…

Hazel jumps in the discussion. "I think the best would be to meet them when they are on their way and tell Mister Witch that something came up and we need him badly and ask if Mr Light can do the coronation alone. I am sure that he will say that he can."
She places her fingers on her chin and continues " Now we just need to think about something important enough to bring Mr Witch back to the wagon.... What about that we captured the saboter ???"
