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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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."

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

The tiger chuckles, "Stupid Girl I ain't talking about fighting, I play cards, dice, even skirth fights." He grumbles, "Stupid youngsters, I swear Meesha..." The flower woman stands up on creeky brown legs, "Messha answer no question from theif rat." She walks into their little shack and drops flap that served as a door. "Don't mind her, I'll talk if ya got somethin worth my time." He held out a hand. On the other side of the dirt road, The bears studied Zevran and moved simply to show off thier assets while looking at if they were just talking, The Bear in the red dress was much more foward walking only a few feet from Wulf and walking around her carefully, "Hmmm. Maybe." The red bear says in a guff voice with a smile.

Zevran looks towards the two bears for another couple of moments before speaking. "You two seem like friendly types. I'm looking for somebody. Think you could help me out?" He asks the two bears. He spares a glance to the one near Wulf, but his attention returns to the bears in front of him.

Wulf watches the Red Bear walk around her, feeling like shed's being studied for something none to good, her hand dropping to the hilt of her sword. "Maybe what, sir? I just came to ask ya a few friendly questions about some dissappearences in the area."

Arimia gives a small shrug as the as the flower walks off. She moves to take the flower's place, then, and shakes the tiger's hand. She looks down at the game the two were playing and says, "I'm Ari. An' since I ran off your partner, least I can do is take her place an' play you while we talk." She flashes a grin then and says, "An' you can try an' prove you're still young enough to take at least one 'coon." Her tail flicks as she waits for the tiger to choose a game saying, "As for what we'll talk about... Heard of kids goin' missin'. Even some families."

The Large bear in the red dress steped back. "Whoa Whoa Suga." The large deep voice female keep her hands up, "I wasn't up ta nuttin but trying to see if I could make a quick crown off a fluffy thing like you." The female bear says nervously "I'd make you so happy you'd leave a tip." She grined but didn't move her hands in fear of being killed by the husky. Zevran seem to be having even worst luck, "Help you out? Must be a foo', I think da clan seals dees uppity firma folk wear makes them stupid, Right Pola?" The Shorter of the other bear taunts Zevran and the other bear chuckles, "Yo, Goldi. Wanna bust his head and take his money? Looks like a minute folk anyway." The two bears waste no time in attacking Zevran. Further away The Tiger looks at Arimia, "I'll play ya, here the game. I got a die with 20 sides, you guess high or low if its right I'll answer one question if its wrong you will pay me fifty crown."

Zevran looks at the defeated forms of the bears upon the ground. "You stupid currs. You bald, toothless cubs. Damn gutter lickers." He spouts, a bit furious. "You're going. To. Answer. My questions." He states, each pause in the sentence punctuated by a kick to one of the bear's guts, alternating between them. "Now then. I'm looking for a mouse. With a star mark on his face. You're going to tell me where to find him." He says, again punctuating each sentence with a kick. He seems to be a bit meaner than usual.

Wulf smirks at the bear, her hand having dropped off her sword hilt. "Ah, nah, I wasn't gonna hurt'chya... I was just being wary, there have been reports of missin families and kids..." thinking a moment she smiles and moves foreward, pressing her busom against the bear. "Soooo you wanted to earn some coin didjya? Howsa about some crown for doing nothing but answering a few questions, I swear that you won't hafta do anythin but that sweet stuff." Her eye glances over at Zevran raising it curiously.

Arimia lets out a soft sound at the tiger's offer. Her oddly banded tail flicks and she gives a small shrug of her shoulders. She glances back over her shoulder at the commotion, but turns back toward the Tiger without a hint of concern. "I guess we could do that. I'mma trust you to not have gaffed the die. Not that you'd need crooked dice to beat a stupid young 'coon." She settles back a bit, making a gesture for the tiger to roll his die.

The Pola and Goldi are whimpering under Zevran's assualt, "We don't know." Pola cries out between kicks, "Please don't hurt Pola, She ARG! Lost her runt too." The Bear in the red dress look at Wulf with a smiles, "Ah.. You one of those Frima floks, I don't mind the sweet stuff baby but I'll answer questions if the price is right. Da names Tina." She offers a paw but doesn't take her eyes off of the Buxom Husky's Assest. While further along the tigers smiles, "I don't cheat, ya ring tailed cub this die is my grand pappys and he never won a game in his life." Zed chuckled, "Now call it and we see if you got me fifty crown or I owe you an answer." He shakes the die in his hand and waits for her to make the call before rolling.

Wulf smiles at Tina. "Tina, eh? What'd you call me? A Firma? I take it that means someone from the firmament ya? Then yer right." Rubbing her chest against Tina she smiles "I'm willing to give ya." she leans up and whispers this next bit into the bears ears and then pulls away. "What do ya say to that?"

Zevran stops his assault on the bears after hearing their answer. "Oh. Well, I know that you have some idea of who would know. So tell me." He replies, watching the bears for any attempts to get away from him.

Wulf smiles at Tina. "Tina, eh? What'd you call me? A Firma? I take it that means someone from the firmament ya? Then yer right." Rubbing her chest against Tina she smiles "I'm willing to give ya." she leans up and whispers this next bit into the bears ears and then pulls away. "What do ya say to that?"

Arimia flicks her ears slightly and stares at the tiger in silence, watching the being shake the die in his hand. After a few moments her tail goes still and she says, "High." She falls silent again after that, watching and waiting to see if she or the tiger wins the toss.

Wulf quips in "Oh and I'm bein rude, my name is Wulf Tiernan by the way..."

Pola and Goldi crawl over to each other, "We dun know anything, Betty was gone when we woke up. We all sleep in the same shack along with that scum sucker Tina who didn't even help us." They Glare daggers at the friendly bear speaking to Wulf, "Ah." The bear smiles and leans into to Wulfs ear, She whispers something and nods before offering waiting on some sort of payment. As Arimia watches the die hit the groundthe old Tiger smiles, "Today my name is winner, fifty crowns youngster." He holds out his hand.

Wulf spends 5030 Crown to: Information and Entry!

Zevran sighs as it seems the bears don't have the information he was looking for. He glances toward the bear speaking to Wulf before looking back to Goldi and Pola. "Alright. What does Betty look like? I'll see if I can find her for you." He says, kneeling down towards the bears to look them in the eyes. His expression softens a little bit as he tries to give them a reassuring smile.

Wulf reaches into the pouch on her waist, unclasping it and pulling out a bag, where in the world does she have the ability to stuff stuff like that into sucha small pouch... oh well. Taking the pouch she grabs the Red Dressed Bear's hand and places the bag into her paw. "You ever get ta the Firmament look me up, all right? And thank you, even iffen we don't find him at least ya helped out."
