"Oh, sure. There is a small place not far from here that I found gives fair prices on general stuff. What are you looking for exactly?" he asks. As he talks he starts heading up the street and checks to see if they are following. He will head about two blocks and point out a few places. "That one sells nice fresh food, that one more dried stuff that'll last longer. And that one," he points to a larger building, "Is maybe a bit more expensive that some of the smaller vendors, but carries most supplies and some small weapons."
"I haven't gone to any of the blacksmiths in town, if you are looking for bigger weapons or things like that. But they are certainly around if you need that."
"Well, I'm a fair hand at foraging, but always good to have dry goods that will keep. Down to twenty bolts, usually try to get them back, but sometimes one goes wide and gets lost in the brush, or hits a bone and shatters, or the like, so wouldn't mind having a few more. Doubt I could find any armor my size in the budget I've got, but may be a lantern and some oil? A bit more upkeep than torches, but easier to put down without setting the forest on fire."

"U-Um I don't think I need more weapons." Nuria speaks up, "B-but do you know where a good inn is?" She fingers her purse, surely the gold Gilgamesh gave here would get her a room, and a meal. She can hardly remember the last time she actually payed for anything, or how much certain things were actually worth. At least if she follows Breldo to the market she'll get a general idea of how much things cost.
Oren points in the direction of a cheaper inn that he would know in the city. He frowns a bit and says, "My parents and I have a small place here in the city, but they would not be happy if I brought over two overnight guests I just met, but I will tell them about the jobs we are doing and your names...that way you won't be strangers for long! " Looking over to them both he says, "It was hectic before, not sure if I stated it even, or if you remember, but I'm Oren."
The initial surprise over, and realizing things had just gotten deadly serious, do things rapidly escalate. Both Kit and Khond strike at the man, Khond too surprised to really strike true, while Kit manages to get a (presumably meant to incapitate) strike with her sword that leaves the drunk wheezing of his own. It's hard to say what the initial responses are of people. The other person he had been fighting before just a moment earlier only now screams "He's got a knife!", behind him one of the elves getting up out of their own seat. In another direction of the establishment, other people get up as well, their intentions unclear- At least a few people though at least seem to just want to get out of dodge the moment they heard actual weapons being drawn rather than just punches.
The drunk for his part screams obscenities as she is the one to attack him proper, and as he draws the blade back out of Khond, just tries to swing at her instead...
But this time around, his drunken sway goes wide over her head. Rick of course is booing Khond for his failure to clobber.

Outside the adventurers guild does the trio spend a bit of time conversing further. Oren, as a native to the city easily able to help Breldo pinpoint to more specific locations. Breldo does realize it is probably too late to still embark on his original quest of "appropriating" an abandoned place somewhere in the slums now... But with two gold in his pocket, neither he nor Nuria should need to. It's not exactly the riches they speak off in stories, but Oren can with some thinking even point them in the direction that would take them under for a single silver. If they don't mind the beer tasting a bit off. And there's a leak in the roof. And there was something about a rat infestation a week or two ago? They probably should spend at least five silver for a somewhat decent place.

Fortunately Kit is light enough on her feet to avoid the drunk's blade. While a longsword versus a dagger isn't a particularly fair fight, Kit decides she would rather be alive to explain her actions than dead and within the law.
She slashes down with the longsword with every intent to cripple or kill her opponent...

Still wavering, and not one to have taken part in fights, Khond is too panicked to reach for his (honestly poorly stored) weapon, instead trying to kick out at the drunkard again.

"Rick thinks this fight might go on longer than Rick thought and have more participants. Rick is also unimpressed, but not surprised, by Ponyman's fighting skill."
Rick turns too boo at Khond again to emphasize his displeasure.

Chaos ensues, and in the chaos a centaur kicks with none of the hooves actually landing upon the target, while Kit's blade swings over his head. What's worse, even despite the chaos, it seems like the drunks attache is looking to come and reinforce -
Were it not for a half-orc smashing a chair over one of their heads. Hard to say if he's just taking the chance for a brawl, if he's just tired of the drunk causing trouble, or both- But while the tavern is not nearly the sort of place for an all out brawl to escalate, most keeping their head down, the fight has now spread beyond their little alcove.
A little alcove where the man the drunk initially harassed had by now managed to lean back, and grabbed the first thing he could- A wooden mug. Lacking anything else, he lobs it towards the drunk, even as the drunk himself swings his knife again first.
The cup flies only barely over the drunk's head... And hits an innocent bystander in the crowd instead. An innocent bystander uncomfortably close to Slick. The drunk meanwhile, even in his stupored state, seems almost more sharp than he would be while sober, as if this were his natural state of being. And taking the missed swing as an opportunity to plunge a dagger right between her ribs.

The drunk seems to become only more confident in his drunken bravado as Khond's proper blade misses its swipe as well. He even yells out a "Weak!" as he already moves in to strike again.
Attack: 23 Damage: 5
But behind him, chaos continues to unfold. By now, both the human and elf that were the initial targets of this mess were trying to rise to action, even though it was evident that neither of them had as much experience, or just sheer drunken rage, as the attacker. The elf having gone around, grabbed a broom, and trying to whack him from behind, while the human sees a bottle which he too throws.

Behind Kit meanwhile, already bleeding profusely, does the sailor curse to every god he knows as he quickly tries to drag the woman away, at least out of the immediate danger zone. While he clearly has no idea what he's doing, he tries his best to help by putting pressure on the wound.
There seems to be a sigh of relief from the sailor as Kit's bleeding seems to slow down, although she's far from in a safe location, the maniac swinging easily still able to come after her. And now, as the dagger strikes Khond again, he too collapses bleeding himself.
"I am invincible!" the drunk shouts with excessive bravado, now grunting as he turns to the original two assailants, all reasoning he might initially have had gone in the rush of adrenaline. Slick's latest friend seems honestly a bit taken aback by this point... Even though he would take the silver.
"Yeah, he's gone ******* nuts- Is nobody going to do something?" he says, softly, worried that at this point that the fight had clearly escalated. Almost as if answering him specifically, an lauging roar escapes from the half-orc that had risen up earlier... As he upends a whole table to throw into the other potential group of troublemakers that suddenly no longer appear as if they want trouble.

"Good to meet you, Oren. Name's Breldo Bramblepelt, and yeah, no need to stir your folks up. Cheap's good and all, but I've been on the road a bit, and we're heading back out tomorrow, wouldn't be opposed to a place that I could get a decent bath and a night's sleep without too much fuss or vermin. Any recommendations in the half gold price range? Our little ship expedition can cover boarding and a good meal or two before back on rations and sleeping in shrubs."
