The business, it not so good around here now there's less ships coming in and more people going out. Not that I blame them myself, but I ain't letting no puttin elves run me out of my femin tavern, you know what I'm sayin'? Is just that, some people, they heard about what happened down in the islands? And they start thinkin' them elves'll be coming north, next, right? Me, I'm not so sure, but I wish they'd hurry up and make up their minds. I mean, if they do get up here, at least I'd have somebody to sell to, man. That's why I turn to them trinkets, there, man, cause business been so slow. I got that ring there from a man who say he fished it out of the islands, right before the point-ears showed up. He fled lickity-split, man, he got nothin' left now. He trade me that for a pint. I think, maybe if Robbie there buys it, I make out on that deal, no? Am I smart or what, eh? I knew when I saw it and he tell me where he got it, and I see it have that inscription on it, it gotta be from the Jenny, ya know what I'm sayin'? So, anyway, you guys come in over land or by ship?"After the scene in the tavern, the party travels up to the market.  We lost a short scene involving a begger, and another scene with the meat pie & meat-on-a-stick sellers where we learn more about bad things going on in town and trouble to the south, reinforcing what Toni was saying.We also lost another scene Colmarr was not involved in where some of the crew members follow Mery the berry vendor home.  At Mery's home they meet her father, an old wounded soldier, and they learn more of the troubles in the land, the rumblings from the south, and they learn of a mysterious new group of slavers that came from the far west and allied with the Bledsum family. They have a compound north of Tortila. The following morning, Mery, her father, and smitten N'un T'Chauck pack up and head west with many other people steadily leaving Tortila for the safer kingdoms of the midwest. Wakil and Malachi return to the Pander Ban.The night after the fire and riot, the crew meets two guards on the docks in the following abbreviated scene:"The guard adds in a hushed, confidential tone that there are also unconfirmed reports of elves in town, and they may be responsible for the killings, the fire, maybe even the riot. Elves have magic that can make men go mad, and they can conjure fire from midair! There were some folks who saw strange lights floating out over the harbor as well. Regardless, the gates and the port are closed for the rest of the day while the guards attempt to sort all this out, and they may be closed tomorrow as well."There were probably other NPCs who've mentioned things: Mac, the former owner of the Arrow in the Bull, or the creepy mortician, or Dietrich the pawn shop broker.  Maybe even Eloise at some point.</blockquote>
