The party finds their way to the Trades Ward but is unable to find which alley matches the map. After asking around, they find some who know Fenerus Stormcastle. They learn that he's a lamplighter and he rents rents a small house down an alley fitting the map.
Soon they are striding down an alleyway they've been given directions to. Suddenly a cart laden with apples comes careening toward you from the opposite direction, rolling downhill. Riding on the cart is a tiefling boy with an eye patch, screaming at the top of his lungs. “Look out!” he shouts.
OOC: DC 10 Dexterity saving throw to dodge OR DC 15 Strength saving throw to attempt to stop the cart. Failures are knocked prone and take 5 damage. OOC2: Technically I was suppose to get the marching order first so we would know the order you were hit in, but I really didn't want to slow the game down over it.
Elon hears the yelling and is suddenly pushed. He recovers in time to see Selinae stop the cart. He looks in the direction the cart came from to see who the enemy may be.

Kestrell, with the map, was in the lead. Dex Save: 13. As he jumps out of the way, Kestrell grabs an apple that has bounced out of the cart.
Kestrell looks back and sees the cart run over Phaedra. He reaches down and helps her up. "Why did you just lay down in front of the cart, are you alright?"
When Selinae stops the cart, Kestrell runs up "Nice catch, Serinade!"Then turns to the tiefling and asks between mouthfuls of apple: "What happened here, son?"as he flips him a silver coin.
The lad is staring at Selinae in fear, sure he's in trouble. When Kestrell tosses him a coin his eyes go wide. Before he can respond two more children run up to the cart. One is a lanky Illuskan girl with a wooden toy sword strapped to her hip and the other a portly Turami boy with a cloak, a toy wand, and a stuffed owlbear.
As they run up the girl's hands are moving quickly but the boy on the cart isn't looking toward her. She punches him in the leg to get his attention and starts moving her hands again. Apparently some sort of sign language. The boy on the cart starts nodding and then looks back up to the party and says, in a shakey voice, "W..w...we're very sorry if we h...hurt any of you." As he's apologizing the girl nods her head in agreement. The second boy positions himself a bit behind the girl but peeks around her to nod his head as well. "Are all of you ok?" the boy asks.
"What do we have here? A band of road pirates harassing an innocent boat captain, hmm?"
"We are fine."Kestrell glances at Phaedra. "Mostly fine, anyway. How did the apple cart get away from you?" Kestrell points to the toy sword. "Let's see that fine piece you've got there."

Silver just stands up dusting himself off looking at the children "It's fine, she can take a little pain. Now would I be correct in assuming you lot are responsible for the runaway cart? Mind if I ask how exactly?"he says just giving them a smile as he tries to get information from them.
Her heart melted at the sight of the stuffed owlbear.
" Ohhhhhh...", she squeed. " Whats his name? I have......."
She looked around at the others, purpling slightly, " ....uh.....HAD....one just like it when I was little...much littler..small...his name was Hoot and we had the best adventures."
The boy on top of the cart grins, "Well, the plan was to push the cart to the edge of the hill and then to hop on and ride it down." pointing to his friends, "But they lost control and weren't able to jump on."
When Kes asks about the girl's sword she doesn't seem to notice. The boy behind her taps on her shoulder and does some hand signs and points to Kes. The girl looks up at him and sees him motioning for the sword. She draws in a surprisingly smooth motion before flipping it over and handing it off, hilt first.
The boy with the wand jumps when Selinae speaks to him and timidly holds up his stuff owlbear to her. "His name is Calypso."
While his friends are talking with others, the boy climbs off the apple cart, grabs his bow and arrows that were buried in the apples, and walks over to Phae, "Sorry again ma'am. Are you sure you're alright?"
Kestrell takes the sword and makes a few practice thrusts with it. Then nods approvingly and hands it back to the girl, hilt first.
"Nicely balanced."
He tosses the other two kids a silver each and then asks "Where did you get all the apples? Do you sell them? What do you know about Fenerus Stormcastle?"
The girl takes her sword back and then snatches both the silvers from the air before Jenks even sees it. When you ask your question she pokes Jenks and signs something to him. Jenks looks up and replies, "Stole 'em when the vendor wasn't looking. Figured we'd eat our fill and then leave the cart where the vendor could find it. Fenerus is big man with graying hair who has been in many fights. Nat says... by the way, this is Nat." he says while patting the girl on the shoulder, "She's deaf. Anyway, Nat says that he's been in fights because of the scars he wears on his face. We haven't actually seen him fight."
"Hello Gnat! Thanks for the apple, and the info. You kids look us up back at the Manor if you get tired of stealing apples. We've got some work for you."
" I didn't have parents either...but then some very nice people adopted me and now I'm their daughter.", she finished with a smile.
She frowned at Kestrell slightly, " I don't know about work...but you can get something to eat at Trollskull if you need it. Just tell them to put it on Selinaes tab."
Silver just smirks a little "Not a bad plan, though next time if you steal make it a little at a time. Don't shoot for heist that leave a trail either, for instance a giant cart rolling into people. If you want some honest work though we do need some help at the manor." he just points them in the direction of the manor.

Pushing the others clear, Selinae planted her feet to stop the out of control cart.

"I ... well... it... it... looked so big and I just dived... but... I went the wrong way..."

Selinae holds her hand open towards Calypso, " And whats your name?"
" Do your parents know your out here running people over?", she said lightly.
"I'm Jenks" the boy says. But when asked about his parents his eyes drift to the ground, "I don't got no parents."

"I am fine, thank you for asking. I can see it was only an accident " she adds with a bright smile.
