You don't recall him at the Xungoon stall, but the brightness of his shirt is familiar, he might have been nearby when you encountered Gammon and the green onions.

"well ,aside from a feud, and an annoyance things are relatively decent here." Liber takes the time to be diplomatic with the stranger, given his genial attitude. "oh, i happened to notice sparks flying into the sky near one of the quarters. does that happen frequently around here?"

"An annoyance? I hope you don't mean me!", he laughs. "Sparks? Oh, that'll be Va's Lucky Amulets. It's some spell she knows that she shoots off to draw the eye, harmless though."

“What do you sell at Spicy Brothers?” Tandor asks.

"It's all in the name, friend! We are brothers that sell spices, particularly hot peppers, and offer a few spicy snacks as well. Would you like that walking tour of the Market?"

As you're chatting with the merchant, you see two figures approaching you. The genasi you recall is Mixtli, an artificer who sometimes collaborates with Dain and Alston, and their fellow Tletepecian, a dwarf... what was their name again? 

((Secretfool and Rowelliam, welcome, and feel free to describe your characters further!))

"Personally, I'd love a tour. Perhaps you could fill us in a bit more on the whole Xungoon-Tyenmo mixup as we go, all these market politics must be insane- and i bet you know the best places to eat around here, too, right?"

Tandor nods, his suspicion growing. "Yes, makes sense...yeah, a tour would be great."

ooc: should we pause and RP explaining the situation to the new characters or just assume we stepped away to have the conversation in private?

((I'm going to hold off on anything until they have a chance to introduce themselves, but since it sounds like you're taking him up on the tour, you'd be able to alternately drop back on the walking tour and catch them up. These are folks known to you, while not currently the full on members of the House Kundarak efforts you are, they've been brought in on various jobs in the past, so would possibly be a relief to Tanador's high level of suspicion to see a couple of familiar faces. Unless that's exactly what they are counting on...))

Liber nods along to the merchant, and then recognizes the oncoming faces. "ah, compatriots! good to see you today."

Mixtli is a fire genasi, He has a lava black skin with fiery lines through it that sometimes seem to pulse when he is excited, or spending lots of energy. His hair is red and he caries a backpack, and a sling on his side.

"Ah good day to you aswell Liver. What are you doing here on the markt?"

Walking alongside Mixtli is a mountain dwarf, with long black hair, pulled back off his face and tied with a cord to keep it from flying into his face.  His beard is also kept tamed with some string cords at the bottom of it, to keep it tamed and shaped.  While this makes it appear he at least tries to take care of his appearance, he still certainly does not give off a 'come talk to me vibe'.  He has typical dark tan skin and brown eyes for his region.  His clothing looks almost homemade, from leather and skins, but the stitching is obviously not from a seamstress, but maybe something he stitched up himself.  Not totally crude, but certainly not something city-bought.  Kind of a more from the forest then the city, look.

The most obvious thing he carries is huge axe which he carries easily strapped over his back, though the weapon is obviously heavy, he carries it easily, being quite obviously in decent shape.  

He seems distracted by looking around at the food stalls, not noticing the others until he hears Mixtli talking to them. "OH, Hello." he says rather loudly.  "Ummm, Hi.  He seems a bit out of sorts.  "Sorry, I am so bad at remembering names."  With a smile he adds, "I'm Trencher in case you forgot!"  

((If the established party could remind Trencher and Mixtli what you all look like?))

Mialee is of medium height, dark-haired, and elven. She has the typical dark skin of someone from the Sensa empire, and wears a light cotton tunic in the style of that land. Over that, she wears leather armor that has been designed to look more like clothes than armor. She carries two daggers hidden inside her tunic and wears light leather armor over it, and nervously taps her fingers togethers as she walks with the group, on edge and ready to spring into action. You likely know that she generally carries around a bow, but probably left it behind to seem less suspicious. She appears not very physically strong, but reasonably tough and wiry.

She smiles widely and genuinely as Mixtli and Trencher approach.

"Hey, you two! Glad to see you, I thought you'd left with the rest of House Kundarak."

((To bring Mixtli and Trencher up to speed, re: House Kundarak, they are a House from Eberron who recently discovered a Concord Jewel, the enormous gems that allow planar shifting to and from the Radiant Citadel, each typically tied to one of the founding civilizations. There was no known connection to the plane of Eberron, so it's widely thought to be a left over remnant of a Lost Civilization. House Kundarak, of which Dain and Milo are members, financed an expedition through the Jewel, arriving at the Radiant Citadel, and shortly establishing a base of operations there. The party is a mishmash of folks who found their way to the Radiant Citadel for various reasons, and House Kundarak was looking for local operators that could be employed to carryout jobs and help establish a foothold, in addition to their own folks they were bringing through. However, the Jewel may have been damaged or degraded in the time since it was used regularly, and some transports were lost. Work was done to stabilize it, and it was decided for the time being, that Kundarak was going to leave behind only a small expeditionary force (ie, Dain and Milo) and make more use of locals until such time that they can more fully invest in establishing themselves at the Citadel. You've been contracted occasionally to help out on things, though more recently of late, as Dain and Milo are struggling to keep things afloat.))

Tandor is a human male, just under 6' tall, black hair, light brown skin, priest of Pelor. He tends to where his white tabbard with the blazing sun of Pelor on the front and back most places. He is very much a warrior, though, as evidenced by the chain mail under his clothes and the weapons he carries. Still, as a life priest, he'd rather heal than fight.

Liber is a blue dragonborn, with white hair, and eastern dragon features; medium-tall height, wears scholar's simple robes, and has a pendant of Azuth. he has a quarter staff that he uses as a walking stick, an a book full of spells.

Trencher shakes his head, "No, I need to see more of the city and hopefully where it all leads to.  Are you all looking for somewhere to eat, too?"

"And I'm Kasem Aroon, co-owner of Spicy Brothers with my brother Vi. I was about to take your friends on a walking tour of the Market, if you'd like to join?", says the fellow in the fancy green shirt with gold peppers sewn into the lapel.

"yeah, always happy to walk over markets. Any tletepec spices nearby? I could use a restock."
