Barnabus is walking with the Priestess when his eyes fall upon a weapon shop. the same weapon shop with a beautiful dwarven Battle axe in the window. his eyes fell upon it when he first exited the coach earlier this evening (which seems so long ago).
Yes ! this was the place and he remembers one of the coachmen slapping the others back and pointing up. now when Barnabus looks up he sees a magically lit sign saying Purple Haze.
Seeing a beautiful battle axe in a store front reminds Barnabus of the axe he left behind. Suddenly he remembers having had those same feelings on their arrival on the strip. " I think this is it! This is where we arrived! " he exclaims exuberantly. His excitement fades however as the depth of his and Pomenia's situation sinks in. Barnabus rubs his face and scratches his head. Looking to Pomenia he says, "Well, should we go inside and wait? I must admit I'm not quite sure what to do next. We do have some options. I'm sure Broki, Kyrian, and Athelynn are locked in a holding cell somewhere. Probably wouldn't be too hard to ask around to find out where but I doubt we can be of much help to them. We have no idea where Ankin and Jasanas are at nor they us. We'll have to wait for them or go looking ourselves which will be futile. Suppose we could see if our drivers are around and have one take us back to the manor but I don't really want to give up on our first mission. So should we go in and wait?"
Ankin looks at the pair with utter scorn, "Oh yes, let me just produce my magic sackof gold", emphasising the words to make it blindingly apparent to even the most crass and stupid half orc that there is a lot of gold at stake. To Jassana he sighs, "The boss said he was just a crass and stupid half orc, but didn't I say looks could be deceiving? Didn't I?".
He continues, "You honestly think I'd be bringing the bling into the docks? Don't reckon so. And I", he jabs himself with his free hand, "ain't the paymaster. But if you're not interested, you're not interested. Enjoy the rest of your short lives being poor. 'Cos there'll be more where that bird-assassin came from, so best you keep watching your backs."
“Very well then, it is clear you’re just not interested in what we have to offer. Best of luck with all your future endeavors... oh, and that whole bird-assassin thing.”
She turns away from Scarface and Lita, but before she moves she casts Prestidigitation once more. This time she magically soils the underside of Scarface’s boots with honey.
Then as she starts to increase the distance between herself and the angry Halfling from 10 feet away to way-far-away, Jassana turns Ankin. “You know, it looked to me like that bird creature was somehow connected to the noble woman who was speaking just before things got ugly. Hmm, I wonder how long it takes a noblewoman to get a friend released from jail these days. Oh well, I suppose we’ll find out soon enough.” Jassana says amusedly. She is sure to speak casually yet still loud enough to be heard by Scarface and Lita as she and Ankin start to walk away. They are headed in the same direction they came from, back towards The Pike
She turns away from Scarface and Lita, but before she moves she casts Prestidigitation once more. This time she magically soils the underside of Scarface’s boots with honey.
Lita and Scarface stood there for a moment the promise of gold held their interest but suddenly the woman begins a slight incantation and Litas training kick in "She's casting!"
A dark look passes Ankin's face. His voice rings out loud and clear, so everyone on the dockside can hear him. He holds up a sack of coin.
"See this? A hundred gold orbs. But this is as close as you'll ever get to it. You'll never see one coin of this money, not one silver noble, not one common copper. Instead", his voice goes up an octave, "I'm offering this money as a reward on your head. Dead or alive, it doesn't matter. So congratulations, you've just become a hundred gold orb lottery ticket... except that the odds are much, much better. Do you know anyone that wouldn't turn you in for a hundred gold orbs? I don't think you do. I doubt it. So wherever you go and whatever you do, this money will be tracking you down for all time. And to ensure that it does, to keep interest alive, there'll be flyers distributed around every Ward of the City and the surrounding towns every week... for as long as it takes. But... and this is your last chance... you put down your weapons and cooperate, I'll withdraw the bounty. After I have what I want, with any luck you can simply disappear. Understand, you will never see this gold. Not one orb. So you still have a chance to do the right thing. If you don't, well, then, may the Gods be with you, because nobody else on Oerth will be."

“Well, at least we’re not in a standoff now, having to act all cool and confident. Now it’s a lot simpler. Just blast and run!”, Jassana thinks to herself as she launches a Firebolt at Lita.
Ranged Spell : 10 Damage: 5
And while admiring her handywork (or lack thereof), Jassana scampers 40 feet back, away from Scarface and Lita!

I agree. To broad, and possibly too many targets in a place of this size. Let's go back to the coaches"
Barnabus starts walking down the strip towards where he believes the coaches to be.
