"If you wanted to talk then why did you trail me from the bar? Yes I knew you were there. And what was, 'I was going to wait until I had some backup, but you're making this easy. I expected more from you, Bran.'? Sounds like you had a little more in mind."
Bran fixes his hair, but his bangs cover his right eye again. "What are you after me for Mires? Doing Hugo's dirty work again?"

Jaleph, seeing that things in the alleyway seem to be under control, will hide near the entrance to the alleyway (but still inside the alley), just in case Shorty comes back with friends. He will prepare himself to cast a spell, though which spell he casts will depend on who shows up.

Mires swallows nervously, his eyes going back and forth between the business end of Bran's rapier and the odd dwarf, still rocking on the balls of his feet. "Look, Hugo doesn't even know I'm talking to you! I was just... um... going to tell you Hugo still has it in for you. I don't know what you did to piss him off so bad, but... wow. He goes insane every time he hears your name! I think maybe you better leave town. Err...right now?" His last two words come out as a plead, rather than a demand.
Sense Motive DC12: [sblock] Mires is lying. He might be over-emphasizing Hugo's wrath, and is certainly lying about his intentions in following Bran into the alley.[/sblock]
Sense Motive DC15:[sblock] Mires is also stalling. From his nervous glances to the other end of the alley, he seems to be expecting something or someone from the far end.[/sblock]
Jaleph and Marisa take a quick peek out into Ferrin's Lane, but no one seems to have taken much interest in the commotion down the alley.
Note: This alley has another opening at the far end, perhaps 30 yards from where you now stand. The alley connects Ferrin's Lane with Barley's Lane, runs a total of roughly 50 yards, and is about 10 feet wide. There are several doors one either side of the alley, some up a few steps, some down, and all are currently closed. It is littered with trash barrels, empty crates and kegs, and various refuse and debris from the shops and warehouses on the other sides of the doors. There are no lights other than what spills in from the streets on either side.

"Well, missy, want to come join the party?" Jaleph asks Marisa, then heads up the alley to the rest of the group. In a very un-halflinglike drawl, he says "Well me bucko, that's all well and good, but we happen to have a fair idea it's not quite all you should be tellin' us. Come on now, out with the rest, there's a good boy. You don't want your friends to get hurt when they show up, now, do you?"

"Just keeping an eye out for Ven and the other ruffian... I will be there in a second, Jal." Marisa waits a few seconds, then heads over to the rest of the party as Miles starts trying to explain his actions.
"My halfling friend speaks true, in that I don't believe you are speaking the entire truth. Who are you, and who is this Hugo you're speaking of?" When Marisa asks the last question, she eyes up both Miles and Bran.

"Hugo is a very bad man," Bran replies. "A real ruffian. Not the type of guy you'd call nice. This bum is one of his hoodlums. Brigands and thugs, you know the type."
"Let's bind him and take him to the authorities. They'll take care of him. And thank you for your help," he says to Marisa and the others.

"Oh c'mon now... that's not really necessary is it? I'm doing you a favor! Besides, any time you waste in Swift Rock is time Hugo can use to find you! His place isn't too far from here ya know, Bran. I bet he has people out looking for you right now!" Mires shifts his gaze from Bran to Marisa. "And I'd sure hate for a nice lady like yourself to get involved with people as bad as Hugo. He's head of a theive's guild ya know, one of the most powerful in the Bay!" He starts shaking his head and raises his hands to emphasize his innocence. "I don't really work for him though! Not any more! Umm... I quit! I've gone straight! That's why I came to warn you, see?" His eyes dart from your group to the far end of the alley and back.
Sense Motive DC12: [sblock] Mires is still lying, of course. Now he is trying to talk you out of turning him in, and stalling for help. He is getting anxious, as he feels time is not on his side. Whatever aid he expects, he hopes it comes soon. [/sblock]

Jaleph ambles a little way away from the rest of the group. When he judges he is far enough away to not be overheard, he goes through the familiar gestures he uses to cast his favorite spell, which is aimed at Mires. He then returns to the group and says "Well, Mires, I don't quite believe what you've been telling us. It's okay, I can see why you might not have trusted us, but I at least am trustworthy. Will you tell me what was really going on?"

As soon as Ven sees the others emerge, he will rush back to tell the others that company is on the way.
OOC: Ven attempts to use his fast movement and/or stealth to return to the others ahead of the thugs. He will attempt to return by a different path, so as not to be seen by them. Hopefully his Survival skill will keep him from getting lost.
