In his haste, The White Wolf trips over the Halfling Rasquin
Hanzo starts to question whats left of the crowd (most people have cleared out and retreated to a safer place). He receives a few judgmental looks, but none stop to provide any answers. Just then, he hears an angry voice behind him.
"CURSE YOU SALAZAR YOU CRAZY OLD FOOL!!! HOW AM I TO SELL MY PIES WITH YOU RUNNING OFF MY CUSTOMERS???"
Briar, you see that one of the guards is running as if he knows where the man went off to, but you do not see the old man.
Briarlosing track of the old man hopes the guard hasn't... decides to take a chance and gives chase Dashafter the guard hoping that the guard will lead her to the old man!
As you close the distance on the guard, you see a glimpse of what appears to be the old man as he enters the Bottom Rock Tavern. not a second too soon, as you pass the now panting guard, hands on his knees, coughing and trying to keep from falling over. Clearly he has expended all of his usefulness.
Pfft!!! What would anybody want to talk to that crazy old magician for? All he is good for these days is creating problems. Why cant he just enjoy the beautiful world the Gods have blessed us with? Nooooo, he is hell bent on making idiotic claims of other worlds. Look around, We can clearly see everything that exists in the universe. I sure hope those guards find him and lock him away for good this time.
Embarrassed, the White Wolf backs away, mumbling apologies to Rasquin. "I am so sorry... I, I didn't see you there. I should have been more careful. Are you all right?"

Briarfollows the old man into Bottom Rock Tavern, once Briaris inside she will keep a close eye on him... keeping the old man insight to see where he goes and/or who he meets if any, not wanting to rush right up at him and risk scaring him off but definitely not wanting to lose sight of him again! So she is looking to give him time, a few minutes or so... to settle in and then look to approach him when he has gotten a seat and ordered a drink or whatever, etc.

"That's why I'd like to find him, try and straighten him out... his out burst caused me to lose a sale on my fish. If you could maybe just point me in the direction he ran in?"
The inside of Bottom Rock Tavern is a dimly lit, dingy looking place full of some of the more shady Absoliens. to your right, a half orc with a short black mohawk wearing clothes that look like they were quilted from burlap sacks, is arm wrestling with a leather clad dwarf with long messy brown hair and a braided brown beard. Straight ahead there is a larger table where a group of rough looking human hunters sit, drinking and eating with no regard for civilized manners. To your left is a bar that has seen better days. The end of the bar closest to you and the front door, dons the body of a tiefling hunched over unconscious, still holding a bottle of wine. You see that the old man has put up the hood on his cloak, and taken a seat at the far end of the bar.
Hmph. Good luck with that. He is too far gone I am afraid. But if you must find him, your best bet is the Bottom Rock Tavern. Unfortunately that means he probably wont be coherent enough to hold a conversation. Sorry to hear he cost you money as well. Do us all a favor and turn him over to the guards. Reasoning with a man like that is a waste of time.

Briarwalks over and takes a seat as close as possible to the old man where he is seated at the far end of the bar, looking for a seat or just spot to stand out of the way of everyone that is at least within 20' of the old man, closer if possible. Very aware that any talk of anything beyond the barrier is taboo, or at least will attract unwanted attentionBriaropts to use her Warlock Feature, Awakened Mindto communicate with him telepathicallyone on one without anyone overhearing or taking offense!
'Please excuse me elder sir... I am Prudence Hawthorn but most people know me as 'Briar' a humble student of the Unseen Sanctuary. I saw and heard some of what you were saying on the street about beyond the barrier and followed you here to speak to you, privately being that this is a rather delicate subject. My twin-sister 'Bramble' is missing, I think she traveled beyond the barrier, I am looking for her or news of her so I am begging you to please tell me whatever you know about beyond the barrier or about my sister.'
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

Terrance had started moving after the guards once he was done speaking with a local, at the sight of flames bursting from the man's arms he utters a curse in dwarvish. Then he rushes towards the guards to see if he can do anything to help.
as you approach the guards, you notice a human take off at a fantastic speed towards the Bottom Rock Tavern, a place you know all to well and most likely planning to pay a visit to before all of the commotion. upon reaching the guards, you see that two of them have second degree burns on their hands where they were holding the man's arms. its nothing life threatening, but they are clearly in a good amount of pain. in your peripheral, you see a half elf, nearly face plant after tripping over a halfling that is nearly half his size.
(to Ducolis)
you hear a frustrated conversation between a vendor and a man with a crystal mohawk who looks familiar. as he finishes talking yo the vendor, you notice he walks away swiftly, and with purpose down one of the roads leading away from the market. you see that there is now a well armored dwarf talking to the guards, offering assistance.
Terrance inspects the hands of the guards and says "These wounds aren't life threatening but they are serious. You need to get to a healer, and quickly if you want to continue using your hands." Looking in the direction of the running human "I'll follow after them and stop this heretic escaping." Terrance then quickly turns from the guards without letting them get a word in edge ways and takes off after the running man.
Ducolis wonders if he knows the man with the crystal Mohawk, He also looks down the road the man has walked towards. However Ducolis sees that he can be of more use to the guards in this situation. He goes up to the guards and asks: "Are you okay? Do you want me to follow this man while you get healed?"
during the altercation, you were just able to see the direction the man escaped in, but before you could react, you were bumped into by a tall half elf cloaked in white fur. make a dexterity saving throw.
(to Ducolis)
"Unless you can heal burns I suggest you retreat back to your..." the guard pauses as he gazes upon the Triton, then finishes, "...uh, aquarium?"
(side note to White Wolf)
you are close enough to have heard Terrance tell the guards they need healers, and the guard say unless you can heal burns... however, lets see if Rasquin is alright first.

Hanzo is going to ask people back where this all happened if anyone knows the old man and where he lives or likes to hang out.

Hanzo approaches the pie salesperson "Excuse me but do you know the old man that was with the guards? I would like to speak with him."

"Thank you for the help! And I'll surely do that once I'm done with him.." Hanzo walks off toward the Bottom Rock Tavern at a quick pace.

You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 30 ft. of you if it understands at least one language.

As Ducolis saw the commotion, he backed away from the crowd. After the choas had died down a bit, Ducolis tried to look for the man.
