Standing on the roof before hopping down to follow the rest back to the shop where she left a note Ves notices a very faint glow to the northwest of them. She also spots what she is pretty sure is the warehouse Jolly was in. She checks the bandits ropes to ensure they are tight before following. Along the way Jaq explains that the Rusty Dagger is to the northwest of where they are now and that he could get them there ((not sure if Jaq would tell her more?)). Jaq is so engrossed in his explanation he walks into a food stall and knocks several hundred apples to the ground. His embarrassment is made worse by the fact he knows the owner of the shop is a friend of his dad.

Everyone else notices that as they walk that there is a muted skuffing sound of padded boots on cobblestones a distance behind them. They don't see anything when they look and by the time they arrive back to the shop whoever was following them seems to have disappeared or at least lost interest.

Jaq is very happy to be off the road and away from the apple cart...but even happier to have the elf girl back home. He is willing to stay and explain what happened, with or without the rest of the group if they are not wanting to stick around.

"As soon as I'm done explaining what happened here, I am heading back to my home to check on my father and the house." he lets the others know.

Jaq knows that this particular shop caters to the wealthiest segment of the elf community in town. He has never been in it before and doesn't know anyone inside. He sees the soldiers' insignia as well.

((Int/history to identify the insignia.))

Ves nods to Jaq and shrugs:

"There's a warehouse with an unaffected guy to the northwest. I left him gathering bodies of hurt folk this afternoon but I want to check in on him. I can meet you there later if you want to stay."

Jaq agrees to that, just needs a better description so he can find the warehouse later.
If she cannot get a better location so he can find it, he will give her his home address and tell her to meet him there, later.

Perfect.

Ves describes the warehouse and its location to Jaq, and also pays attention to where his home is. Then she'll leave the others to it and go check on Jolly.

Jaq is pretty sure he has seen the insignia around town but isn't really sure where.

Directions and addresses are exchanged and Ves heads off into the night to find Jolly.

((Perception from Ves

How long is Jaq willing to wait in the shop with the girl and the other elves? Are Joe and Lurn hanging around with him?))

Since the girl isn't likely to need aid, Lurn will head with Ves to assist with the more injured people.

Jaq is willing to wait for now. At least several hours. And he thinks since she is starting to 'almost' wake up at times it shouldn't take that long, correct? The girl and her family deserve to know what is going on, and where the kidnappers are tied up. Jaq totally does not want that type running loose in the city, they deserve whatever 'justice' they get.

The girl is definitely showing signs of increased wakefulness, more so than the others in the shop. Hard to say how long it will take though...

Lurn and Ves head back along the main road West to the central crossroads before turning north and walking slowly to allow Ves to check the buildings as they go for things she recognizes. It has gotten foggier and people laying around are now noticably more fitful. One man, human, sits up and gasps looking around before collapsing back to the ground.

Ves is certain that the warehouse is nearby but in the fog everything looks the same. Lurn has no idea. The only thing that saves them both from walking by the warehouse is that Ves catches a faint glimmer of light under a set of warehouse doors.

The doors are closed.

Ves bangs on the door and calls in:

"Hey Jolly! You still alive in there? It's me! Ves!"

Ves hears a loud groan and then Jolly calls back,

"It's open, you know how to let yourself in."

Ves heads inside with Lurn and looks about.

"Just checking in. How are you doing? This fog should start healing people up. Probably."

Pushing the door open Ves and Lurn see that the floor of the warehouse is covered in people and a bit of fog. Jolly has laid them out on the floor and propped the against walls. The isn't much clear space left on the floor. There is a corner filled with just kids.

Jolly is sitting on the steps up to the balcony/rooms chewing on a piece of some very tough looking bread. He has also put some clothes on.

"You went an' found a fella that matches your hair. A big one." He takes another bite of the bread and says while chewing, "You manage to save the town?"" He reaches for a mug and takes a mouthful of something while still chewing.

"Hope so! But I'm not sure we did as much as you. Here - the folk responsible paid us for our trouble. I figure you should get a share."

((I forget how much we got paid, but she'll give him 5 gold)).

Jolly chokes and sprays crumbs and stale beer over the nearest people on the ground. It takes him a while to get over his coughing fit.

Wheezing Jolly gasps,

"Wha? You steal that?"

((5 platinum and 5 gold a piece. I updated your sheets. need to do that with the bandit money... Did Ves take that crossbow?))

((nah, I think she left it. She's not proficient and it's not her style))

"Heh. Nah. Rich folks are rich is all and don't think twice about giving their country away. Don't drink it all at once!"
