Alea looked at Arrow for a second with a raised eyebrow before looking at the human "friends is strong... I'd say more like acquaintances"

In a moment of panic all of Arrow's bounty hunting (and maybe cat?) instincts take over and he leaps on the woman trying to tackle her to the ground before she can get away thinking this is the one they've come looking for....

[Grapple: 9]

And clearly continues to just fail miserably

Alea looked at Arrow with a look of shock before face palming herself "arrow what the hell was that" she said clearly a bit upset at this performance. She really wondered how he was this stupid 

Hunferho looks at Arrow, opens his mouth to say something... and then turns to the human lady that everyone else is looking at.

"You are Tarina? My name is Hunferho. The six of us were sent here by someone who is neither a friend or an acquaintance. A feisty man with behavior problems by the name of As... errr... Zodge."

Axandros felt like he was about to have a stroke, if he continued his pointless conversation with the half-elf. He joined the others upstairs, all the while continuously shaking his head in utter frustration. The wizard arrived on the second floor just in time to see Arrow's failed attempt to grapple a woman there. He really hoped they found her and that Arrow's ill-advised endeavour to restrain her didn't complicate this matter any more than necessary.

Khaffosi rushes forward and grabs Arrow by the arm, "Are you drunk?"

"Mebbe....."

Arrow attempts to grab across the table. As he begins to move, he feels a sharp pain between his legs, as a heeled shoe appears to have pressed against him. "Easy, kitty." She says, leaning back slightly to avoid the claw swipe, retracting her foot then looks to the others, "You thought about getting a collar and leash for this one?" Upon introducing Zodge's name to the conversation, the woman rolls her eyes. "His lackeys, are you? Well, don't expect any sympathy, he's a shithead. But yeah, I guess he's calling in a favour. What does he want?"

Alea couldn't help but feel ashamed by the situation, for as much as Khaffosi talked them up as great bounty hunters he seemed the only competent one, and even that had its limit. She decided not to adress the leash comment and moved on with the conversation "he wants to know about the dead three and where some of there cults are" she explained wanting to find these cultists as soon as possible "and..we are aware zodge isn't the most liked person.."

"Capertain Arsehole!" Arrow proclaims as he weaves back and forth a bit and salutes.

Khaffosi shrugs, "We tried a leash for about 3 minutes.  He passed out from lack of oxygen by pulling so hard he choked himself with it."

Axandros, pleased by the fact that they finally found the woman they were looking for, kept to the back of the group and let the others do the talking. He only interjected after Khaffosi talked about chocking Arrow with a leash. "Why stop then? You were onto something there.", he chuckled quietly to himself.

Hunferho drops the smile. "Lady, are you sure that you aren't related to Zodge? The most polite things I could say about him was that he had behavioral problems, and that he was no friend of ours, yet you accuse us of having sympathy for him? Should I be using small words, so you can understand?"

(The smile comes back. Taps the pin.) "We are forced to temporarily wear these pins. We are not planning to use violence against someone else being used against their will." (Pauses, side-glance at Arrow.) "The ones who are not violent drunks do not plan on using force... Anyways, help us out. You get us out of your life quicker, and you get to tell Zodge that part of your debt is payed back."

Khaffosi looks at Axandros after the comment and says dead pan, "I don't like you.  But that's not enough reason for me to off you.  Arrow on the other hand, needs a lot less convincing to off someone.  So he's handy to keep around."

Turning back to Tarina after Hunferho spoke, he adds, "Indeed.  We can be out of your hair and you can be free of a debt.  We need locations.  Where the cults of the Dead Three have been killing if you don't outright know where their lairs are."

As Arrow hear Khaffosi's statement, he stops his swaying and turns to look at Axandros and without missing a beat winks at the wizard and you can see a clarity in his eyes and realize he indeed is actually stone sober.

"Wow, sounds like you'v all got a bucket of problems with each other." She chuckles. "Well how about this? I'll give you your information, but you need to make sure I'm alive enough to give it." She takes a large gulp from her tankard. "See, there's an old acquaintance of mine that's apparently pulled up into port the other day, and it won't be long until they're here to have a violent reunion. If you take care of him, I should be alive to be able to get that information for you. Seem fair?"

Hunferho gives her the stink eye. "What aren't you telling us? You seem like a capable woman. More than enough to take care of one man. What about him would make you ask for help from the likes of us?... You talked about 'him', but you also said 'they'. "

"Take care of him, like permanently?", Axandros wanted to make sure to understand her request correctly. "Why?". Even though, the wizard wasn't exactly a philanthropist, he wouldn't kill for her without a good reason.

Khaffosi counter offers, "Or, you can tell us what we want to know, you can join us and lead your old friend with us to the cult lairs.  Then we can arrange for the cultists and your old friends to deal with each other.  Once they're done, we can clean up what's left."

Khaffosi pauses to think, "Forget that, too complicated.  We'll hide in those rooms.  When you give us a signal, we'll barge in here, bash some heads and be done with this.  This better be happening soon."

Khaffosi thinks some more, "Forget that too.  Tell us where this guy is, we'll go to him and resolve it quickly, no time wasted."

Arrow ponders "I wonder if there is a price on his head, then we could profit twice over Khaffosi...."
