The n is not a typo, it's Timonthy.

Durban, Lorcan
Timonthy politely declines the drink.
"As to the wedding..." he cleans closer to the two companions and continues in a whisper. "...this isn't confirmed, but I heard that an assassination attempt was made against the mayor's daughter. This isn't straight from the horse's mouth, so it could be just a rumour."
He leans back and resumes a more conversational voice.
"But if it was true, I could understand why it was kept secret."

Horros
Inspection reveals what Samantha called 'crude design' to be finely honed and straighted blades balanced for throwing.
"The normal price is six golds... but since I like you, I'll give them over with five."

Haplo
"Yes... We need your help. You know of the weddings to come, yes? We really don't have anything against the weddings, but it has some side effects that are harmful to our existence."
Eugenoth adjusts his position, changing weight from one side to another.
"You see, the mayor has promised some of the empty houses near the shore to be taken down and replaced by a new house for the young couple. Unfortunately two of these houses are secretly in our use. One serves as a food storage, others as a nursery. Since we can't seem to have the mayor cancel the weddings, we have decided to move instead. Are you starting to see where you come in?"

"Hmm. I'm interested to know why anyone wants to assassinate her. I mean, wouldn't the mayor be a more obvious target for most people?"
 

Durban, Lorcan
"There is this thing I heard from a contact at the mayor's household, it would seem that the assassination attempt was not one of physical but rather magical or psionic."
Timonthy shrugs.
"As to why the daughter? Killing the mayor won't stop the wedding."

Haplo
"You're sharp. We need you and that big bat of yours to help move some of the biggest crates across the city. Without help, we possibly can't achieve this in time."
 



"I would be happy to help, and I am pretty sure that my companion will be willing to help, atleast after some coaxing. Hmm, I believe I have an idea. You don't mind if we do this at night, do you?"
