Siegward turns to Rowan.

"Who? Me? Well of course I am! I spent much of my young adulthood in Quartz competing in the arena." He clears his throat. He draws a short breath in and his face hardens, and stares into the distance. His body trembles. "But yes. Let's go. We have to kill them all... They... They took my family..."

There is a Tavern in this village 

If you all wish to go to the tavern we can pick up in the Gerett's Tavern & Inn. 

Sure, the co-bounty hunters make their way to the tavern 😃

Inside the Tavern area is a whole lounge area with tables and bar behind the bar is stairs that lead to the Inn part. There are several different patrons here. 

Rowan will ask whoever’s tending bar. 
“I know I’m just reaching in the dark, but I don’t suppose you know anything about that big gnoll fella’ on the bounty board?”

Siegward looks around the room for anybody of interest.

The person tending the bar at this time is a man he is of a Sprite race they are pretty rare here as they normally live in the sky island. Welcome to Gerret's Tavern and Inn I am Gerret. The wanted posters yes there are two big ones the Gnoll pack leader Izarwert. He has been near Conoal. His pack is up on the wall with him. Then their is Barnibus Hammerstone he is the highest bounty we have got here. He is quite formidable out of all the combatants who have every fight in Qaurtz he is one who has only lost once.  If you are seeking him I hope you all have some advanced skills as it be ashame to hear of a slaughter. His where abouts have been see around the village of Falo which is about 1 days travel. As for Siegward you see various people here some at a table stick out as one is a Yaun to abomination the other a wood elf but also a Gnoll looking figure they keeping to themselves and just chatting)

Do we seem like a group of folks with “advanced skil” that could fight Barnabus?

Thyme has claimed a table near the bar by jumping onto it on all fours "How about we test our mettle against old Izarwert first. That'll be a quick way find out just how capable our little haphazardly put together band of misfits really is, don't you think? If we feel up to it afterwards we can go after Barnibus. If not, we'll just let him be someone else's problem." She tilts her head to the side to look past Rowan and at Gerret "By the way, barkeep, who would we need to talk to to accept this bounty, or to collect our bounty on completion for that matter?"

Making her way through the crowd mostly though being small enough to slip between legs, a gnome wearing very bright clothes and a squirrel on her shoulder peers at the board, curious as she scans the faces.

Siegward weaves through the obstacles of the bar to get a better look at the Gnollish figure at the table. To see if it really is a Gnoll.

The Sprite leans back alittle in his chair then goes back to sitting normally. And sighs I don't know anything really about any of your skill levels but it was just a warning is all. Hes already killed other groups after his bounty. If I'd compare him he is far stronger then any Gnoll leader. It is rumored he was born in the Wilderness of Nore. Just to give some info that all I know. He turns his gaze to Thyme. Izarwert maybe be a better one to try even if not get him there is the 3 others in his pack that are wanted so could get their bounty. Also as for getting payment talk to the village leader they be the one to compensate guve payment with some proof of  their death ofcourse. roll investigation for me seigward. Also Rosissa you manage to reach where the party is in the Tavern and over hear this conversation.

Investigation check

Rav stood near the doorway of the tavern next to the soldier he had met outside and watched the monk, Rowan, speak to the bartender, the barbarian,Thyme, jump on a table, and the human that was shouting push his way closer to what appeared to be gnolls sitting at a table. He wondered to himself if this was what was to come...Suddenly he felt a breeze as if the door had opened, he turned to look and didn't notice anyone enter the tavern.....He felt something brush against his leg and looked down to see a gnome march right by his leg. He said to himself  "Peculiar...." He turns to the soldier and say "Shall we proceed in with the rest and try to sort this mess out?"  Rav heads towards the table Thyme has leapt on. 

(I am just mentioning what the two see and siegward hears. Anyone who approaches them like Rowan will hear this. However investigation to see the figure or move in close you will seem him. (Any actions anyone else would like to take I please do so at your own pace. The Yuan Ti abomination will notice you both coming near but the figure you saw there with them is in fact a Gnoll. They are clothed all are talking like they have known each other for years. (Yuan ti and Gnolls aren't togther it isn't heard of) siegward you see a head pop out from beside the Gnoll she gets up (they look very young she puts a puppet looking thing on the table that seems munch bigger then her. She speaks up Can I just play around alittle I want to perform just a little before we open. the gnoll is eatting wipes his mouth before speaking. (He speaks common you can tell it isn't his native language but he trying. T t Try not spo spoil the show we ne e need t to wait Father wan wants us t to wait. the Yuan ti speaks up I am sure Mr I mean Father will be okay if it's a small amount I mean he may be here soon or not try and ask Dulan or I could use message or sending ti him. he looks at you both  and gives you a slight smile as do the rest (Dulan du freak they mention and you can tell they are some of his circus performers. 

Another sigh escaped the half elf's lips when he saw the oddities on display before him. They were quite an energetic and outgoing lot, it seemed. A gloved hand brushed his hair back out of his face. He glanced over to the large elephantine fellow that had spoken to him. "Mayhaps we should. T'would not do for our companions to find themselves beset before our mission can begin proper." Jamben gave a nod to his Loxodon comrade, "Forgive my rudeness earlier. You may call me Jamben." He followed Rav's lead for the time being and headed for the table that Thyme occupied.

"Whatcha doing?" The gnome asks, clearly eavesdropping.

Thyme's ears perk up as she hears the voice. She looks around, unable to find its source until she finally looks down to find the small Gnome girl. She lets her leg dangle as she sits on the edge of the table. Her tail unfurls from around her waist and swishes from side to side as a wicked grin appears on her face.

"Hello there little one. You're just positively adorable, aren't you? We're here to gather some information about some bad people with the intent to make their capture, or demise, that much easier."

You might notice that her pupils have become almost completely black as she keeps her eyes trained on the Squirrel on the little girl's shoulder.

She looks into Thyme's eyes for a little while, before they go wide. She smiles though, "That sounds like fun! Can I go?"
