Stepping back a bit to get behind Marisa, when he is hidden from the newcomers Jaleph whispers to Bran "I think the one with the crossbow spilled some oil on himself. If we have to fight, try to light his cloak."
OOC: still under the effect of the message spell (I assume) and Marisa can probably hear me, as I am right behind her

Once Jaleph points it out, you all notice the faint smell of kerosene. The thugs must have brought the smell with them, as it seems to be retreating as they head back down Barley's Lane to wherever they came from.
Mires must have noticed it too. He turns to the thug with the handheld crossbow. "Hey Sol, why do you smell like lamp oil?" Sol thwaps Mires on the back of the head and tells him to shut up, and takes a glance back at you to make sure you are not following them. Milton waves at you, and then tries to hustle his little group down the street.
Sense Motive DC15: [sblock] For some reason, you get the feeling Sol really didn't want you to know about the kerosene soaking his cloak. [/sblock]

Marisa Calathar, Cleric of Wee Jas
After the others leave, Marisa turns to Bran and the others, and addresses them is a whisper, keeping an eye on the alleyway entry. "Did you hear how the short one... what was his name again, Bran? Milton? Did you hear how Milton put an emphasis on the word journey? And the way the one smelled of kerosene? I think those thugs want you gone from this world Bran. Mires mentioned that Hugo wanted to leave you alone now that you're going on the Righteous Might. Why? Mires also said that Hugo didn't want any undue attention attracked to him. Why again? I believe that Hugo intends to take his revenge on you, Bran, by sabotaging the Righteous Might. Perhaps the one that smelled of kerosene was planting some sort of explosive on the ship? This way, the ship's sinking would look to be an accident, and he would be rid of you altogether, without drawing suspicion on himself. I say we keep an eye on them, and warn Iggy to keep an eye out as well. And while we're onthe subject, Bran, what did you do to get Hugo so upset with you?"

Bran Olvant, Treasure Hunter Extraordinaire
"Truth be told, I don't know why Hugo is so hot under the collar for me," Bran says, shrugging his shoulders. "Well, there was that one time he tried to pass some fake gold coins for the real thing and I ratted him out. Oh, and then there was that time I made him look like a fool in the Clam Shell by dodging out of his way as he went face first into a wall. And then there was the time that I got two of his best guys arrested for trying to kill me over that, despite the fact that I outsmarted them and beat them both. And then there is Kaelin," he says with a pregnant pause, "but she never was into him. Other than that, he has nothing against me. Speaking of Kaelin, she was why I left in the first place. I was on my way to get an apology gift, and if I don't hurry I won't get it today. I need to be off. Come with?"

Jaleph nods and walks with the others. When they are under way once more, he will walk next to Marisa. "You know, now I'm a wee bit worried about getting on that ship. I think that we should perhaps take a trip out there tonight and check it out. If it looks like someone could sneak onto the ship, then one of us can do it and try to see if your hunch was right. I'll bring it up with the others." Jaleph talks to each of them in turn, saying essentially the same thing. When he speaks with Kragor, he'll insinuate that perhaps Kragor would be the best choice for the infiltration, if it is needed.

As the thugs walk off Ven is already losing interest. His eyes start to glaze over as Bran professes his innocence.
Shrugging his shoulder and stretching out his arms, Ven actually seems to be nodding off while walking, until Jaleph mentions sneaking onto the ship. Now that was interesting.
"What do you suggest Jaleph?"
