"Good day, are you here to do us harm, also?"

Mercury whispers to Penris. "I believe I have some rope... somewhere? Possibly in the cart. Best deal with these creatures first."

Carrying her to the cart Vayel shifts the blade to ensure he does no more harm to the thief and replaces his blade with his arm around her neck, Not to choke but to restrain her as he carries her. 

Kip will bounce excitedly towards (what he hopes) is his companions. As they navigate through the sea of kinder he will suggest to Ash that he keep track of any loose items on his person before making his way out of town.

 Penris looks at the newly arrived squirrelings.  "Hello, friends," she said warmly.  "Can we help you?"

(If Ash checks, they will find several objects missing; and is that a baby rattle tucked in your belt?)

(So I am missing stuff too or just ash? Kip would have been wrapping his tail around his waist as a kind of extra security as they walked through the sea of kinder)

With Kip's warning to check his goods Ash feels at his side and notices that yes indeed his coin pouch is gone, and has been replaced by a baby's rattle.  He panics a bit until finally finding that he still has the rock he got from the shrine. "This is why I don't normally leave my home.." he says with a sigh.

(Kip knows this part of town, so knows to cover his possessions.)

The Squirrelings halt when they witness the carnage.  "Wha... What happened here?" One of them asks.  "Um... Are you the God's Ch..." The second Squirreling is cut off as another yells; "Is that a dead body over there!?!" Pointing towards the woods near the hill.

Kip and Ash find themselves in the Market District; with their allies nowhere in sight.  Multiple booths lay around you; serving all manner of goods.

To Kip he says, "My coin purse is gone, we should be careful.  Do you think we should ask around here at the market about our dream companions? Maybe someone here has seen people matching the descriptions?"

Kip will look to Ash "Sounds like a plan to me." The squirrling will say with a smile before looking around the market area. "I wonder which of these stores would sell slings while also being friendly.." He will say rubbing his fuzzy chin. 

(Slings are by far the most common weapon sold in Haven.)

**I don't believe Ash would have a weapon, and now I don't have enough to buy one, lol**

Kip will run over to any store that appears to have really fancy slings. "hello! I am interested in buying a sling please. Also, perhaps you have seen a gnome, halfing, and bugbear walking around together recently" he will stay as his fuzzy tail flips around behind him. (Kip will then describe his companions to the best of his ability)

Vanyel looks at the small figures of the squirrelings and grunts. "These other little ones shot me with the intention of killing us and taking all of our things. I warned them to leave us alone but they refused to listen and attacked. We defended ourselves to their detriment."

Ash heads over to a random fruit stand, and asks similar questions, about the gnome halfling and bugbear they're looking for.

Penris nods at Vanyel's words.  "It's true," she says to the squirrelings.  "We tried to avoid bloodshed.  But what can you do?"  She shrugs her shoulders and then smiles at the group.  "So who are you lot and how can we help you?"

The stall worker replies to Kip; "Buy this lovely piece here and I'll let you know."  The piece looks amazing, with patterns burned into it.  The price tag says; '1gp'.
