<div></div><br> <br>The letters went out to the few people Kilsa trusted to get things done and a few wild cards, the letters were delivered and Kilsa waited in an alley way for those that would answer the call to come by. Her large frame was proped against a wall facing the meeting place but no one could see that large shadow the badger gave off and not realize who was there.<br> <br>Zevran enters the alley, the letter clutched in his left hand. He wears his spiked armor and carries his large sword upon his back. He notices Kilsa's shadow first, his eyes following it to the badger. He gives her a nod, but his expression is serious. "So, what's this about, Kilsa?" He asks as he approaches her.<br> <br>Wulf is not too far from behind Zevran, a little bit of a grim expression on her muzzle. Her musket is Habitually slung over her shoulder but she seems to have picked up a sword to replace her knife somewhere along the line. When she and Zev stop she nods, Zevran already having asked the obvious question for her.<br> <br>Arimia comes from the direction opposite Zevran and Wulf, humming softly as she walks. She stops as she notices the group gathered in the alley and lifts a clawed hand in a wave exclaiming, "Hi there," before clasping them behind her back. She offers no explanation as to why she would have been further down the dark alley. <br> <br>The armored Badger steps up to the rest of the folk in the alley way, "This is something serious, Normally I send a few priest to collect the street children from Shanty town and the last four times I sent them out. No children were found and in rare cases whole section of home have become emptied out. I've tried going there myself but I'm too well known. All the coin or threats or promises of protection will get a shanty townie to speak to me." She huff and looks at the rest, "I'm asking you to do what I can't now that I've become noble and well known, I'm sending you with my Captian," She points to the Raccoon, "I'm not asking you to slaughter everyone till you get answers, I would prefer this handled calmly but if you find that foul play is in the works do everything you have to with my blessings. Head to Shanty Town as soon as your able. I'll reward you as soon as you return."<br> <br>Zevran shakes his head as he listens to Kilsa. "The folk in Shanty Town have it hard enough without having to worry about kidnappers." He responds, sounding slightly angered by the news. "I suppose we should go as soon as we can, then." He says, looking towards Wulf and Arimia.<br> <br>Wulf nods turning to Zevran with a grin. "Too true, too true. Shall we go teach the kidnappers a lesson? That is... if there is signs of foul play?" turning back to Ari she nods at the Raccoon in greeting. "Nice to see ya again."<br> <br>Arimia gives a small nod of her head, saying, "Likewise." She starts off, then, moving fairly quick, knowing she'd have to to keep up with the longer strides of the two larger beings. As she moves she fishes through her things, pulling out a bit of charcoal, possibly used for writing, and crushes it, starting to smear it on her fur and, with a sigh, her white vest. This musses her up quite considerably. She then removes her clan insignia and hides it among her things before glancing back over her shoulder and saying, "Try not to be overbearin' with the people we meet, yeah? Some of 'em will outright rude to you, but that's 'cause you've never had to live like they have."<br> <br>The Badgers nods and rubs the back of her head, "Thank you. I really appreciate it. The only clues that I have is that a mouse with a star shaped scar has been seen at many of the places that familes went missing out of. " She steps away and even with her serious manner smiles to herself. "I have full confidence in you." As the badger departs the groups gathers their things and head to the Shanty town. The first sight they are greated with is an Apostate Rat dressed in bloody rags chanting with a dead skirth in his hands. Other sights that decorate shanty town is a few corpses that folk seem to step over without a bit of concern, a few skimpy dressed Apostate Bears are giving inviting looks to the group, an old tiger with a crossbow bolt sticking out of his shoulder is playing a game with a wilted looking flower woman.<br> <br>Zevran doesn't seem the least bit perturbed by the sights that greet the group as they enter the Shanty Town. In fact, he seems to be rather comfortable in such surroundings. "So, should we ask around a bit? That might draw some unwanted attention." He remarks, his gaze drifting from the Apostate Bears to the tiger and flower woman, before focusing back on Wulf and Arimia.<br> <br>Wulf has travelled around before, seen some things, so the the sight barely gives her much pause. "Or some wanted attention, after all if you ask they will come to investgigate, right? And we want to find them." her eyes looks iver at the mouse they'd passed on the way in, studtining him for the star-mark and then looks over at the bears.<br> <br>Arimia flicks her ears slightly as she looks around, though she doesn't seem disturbed by the sights either, and likely blends in better. "Well," she says, "I thinkin' askin' around ain't a bad idea. Would take far too long to try an' search all the area for the mouse." She wrinkles her nose slightly in thought then says without gesturing toward them or looking in their direction. "Why don't one of you go talk to the bears there? They're more likely be a little more differential to someone who isn't as small as me. I'll go ask the older folk." After saying that she starts to move over to the tiger and flower woman, easily stepping around, or over, any corpses in her way.<br> <br>The Tiger look at Arimia and smiles to the flower want, "See that Raccoon girl there? When I was at the top of my game I could beat a whole table full of raccons with a fews hands. I swears times where better then." The flower coughs weakly and mutters a few curse words, "You big lair, Zed. When Meesha met you, you in a gutter, Meesha say time now is better. Zed too fat to fit in a gutter now." She gives a wheezing laugh before turning to Arimia, "Raccoon, You rob Meesha?" She asked as calmly as possible as the rat with the dead skrith finally sat down and went to sleep in the dirt. Two of the Three bears are eyeing Zevran while a another bear in a too tight red dress with too many rips in it is alternating a gaze between Wulf and Arimia.<br> <br>Zevran looks towards the bears at Arimia's suggestion. "I suppose that leaves the bears to us." He muters to Wulf, still looking at the bears. Well, it seems he's already gotten some of their attention, so he makes his way over to the two who are looking at him. He takes a moment to study them, not saying anything right away. <br> <br>Wulf shrugs as she looks at the rat for a while longer, determined to speak to him after she helps grill the bears for info. hHer head tears away from the Rat as she starts making her way to the trio, nodding plitely to them and waiting for Zevran to speak.<br> <br>Arimia pauses a short distance away from the tiger and the flower, eyes on their game. At the flower's question she replies so quickly it might be habitual, "Why, you got somethin' worth takin'?" Her ears flick then and she says, "Wasn't plannin' on it though. Was hopin' you might help me." She hums softly to herself then, before pulling her gaze from the game to look from the flower to the tiger. "An' lets be fair old man. If all the 'coons were my size, you could probably take a few tables full."
