"Irontusk old friend!" Alys calls out,
"How have you been? Please don't run--I'm just here to talk," she spares a glance to the others that suggests belying her by drawing weapons and firing at him should wait until she tries this first. She moves confidently down the first dock and onto the first barge. To Alysina's right, a wall of crates filled with imported cloth bisects the barge, making her feel a bit cramped in the small boat. (Give me a Spot check.)
As ludicrous as her statement may appear to the rest of the group - aware that their intentions are not at all beneficial to the half-orc, Irontusk pauses after starting away from the group. He turns and looks at the human woman and calls out,
"What d' you want? Don't come any closer!" His fists clench nervously as the others move around him, but Alysina's bluff appears to have paid off - if only for a moment.

Krontigard lets out an oath and steps back, away from the moving adventurers.
Seeing the chaos ensure, Weapon looks to see if the half-orc begins bolting after Alysina's actions. Assuming so, he takes the most direct route possible to the others dock---through the water. He drops down to the bottom of the river and begins walking resolutely toward the other piers.
"A chase" says Tam.
"It's my turn to earn my part of the money, I guess." Noticing the layout of the surrounding landscape, Tam goes directly to close Irontusk's way out. He faces the wall in front of him and does not so much climb it as walk rught up it with a few agile steps and disappears over the roof of the tower. Tam proves to be exceptionally quick, and with a few jaunty flourishes, he easily moves along the tower-top, clearing the tunnel's distance easily.
Rio is very impressed by Tam's running right up the side of the wall.
Nice trick!
Rio starts along the edge of the tower as he hustles to intercept their quarry. The paladin takes only a step forward before he gets a better look at the drop off, and turns north. He heads for the first open street and turns east, hoping to parallel the pursuit and intercept the half orc should he move further into the city. As he enters the tunnels, Rio begins pushing his way through the crowds in the tunnel, and picks the branch that he thinks will take him back to the Underhang. (Not there yet!)
Sirrel tries to keep pace with Alysina, but her shorter strides leave her several feet behind the talkative woman.
