Tasanto sits quietly up front with Katalin. He followed her instructions on where to put his polearm, expecting that the two of them know the best way to smuggle things in and out of the city.

Tyrion sits in the back of Katalin's cart, trying very hard not to glare at the people yelling. He slightly hoped that his weapons would terify the farmers enough to not mess with them, giving the dwarf enough time to calm the horse down.

Surprisingly, Cavernous Hode's chant of 'carrots and hay' soothes the agitated beasts back to their normal placid state though not before one nips at the dwarf. Katalin grins in relief and nods her thanks to Cavernous Hode without taking her hands from the reins. A disturbance up the line at the gate catches Katalin's attention and she peers forward to try to see what is going on.
A voice is raised in protest and the cry, "That's twice what I paid last time!" can be heard. Guards quickly move in and the distinctive sound of a truncheon striking a body is heard followed rapidly by a muffled cry.
The workmen behind Katalin's wagon cease their muttering with Tyrion's glare though the warrior suspects it has as much to do with the guards up the line as it does with him.

Molnar keeps his eyes downcast and deliberately does not look to see what is going on ahead of their wagons.
"The gate toll was a copper a head, including beasts. If that's doubled..." He takes a moment to mentally calculate then transfers the reins to one hand then fumbles at the ties of his belt pouch with the other. Working it loose he hands it to Damaris. "Here. You count it out for us all when the guard comes and a couple of extra for the guardsmen who collect."
Once the objector drags himself to his feet and limps on the line begins to move again albeit slowly and a pair of guardsmen eventually swagger over to assess Molnar's wagon.
"This wagon and the next, sir. Me and my family bringing in goods to sell and our guard for the road."
The guardsmen are obviously full of their own importance and take their time walking about the wagon and occasionally poking at a crate or barrel in a half-hearted inspection. They either don't see or deliberately overlook the weapons stashed; considering the lack of effort put into the inspection it is most likely that they never even noticed them. After circling the wagon and accepting Molnar's coin from Damaris they motion the wagons through.
"Move on; we don't got all day to wait for you."

Tyrion smirks half halfheartedly at Hode's response, and comments "You sure did dwarf. Good job on calming that horse though. I'll need to remember that trick for next time."

Molnar pulls his wagon to a halt and turns to address as many of the group as possible.
"Katalin and I must take our goods to the city's assessor where it will be unloaded and readied for the markets. Our dealings there will take us several hours..." He peers up at the gray sky with a frown and a shake of his head. "By the time we finish, I'm sure it will be full dark. We'll take a room at the inn off Market Square. There's no need for you to go with us, this is all routine if long and tedious. And you have your other work to do."
