"Let's move, there is no point in sticking around." Lani moves past the goblin, patting the ugly thing on the back as she goes.
"Yes, let's." Istyarian follows after Lani, leaving the little beast behind.
So shall we speak with this half-elf hooker?
"Seems like as good as lead as any."
The half-elf Illya works for the Stick at a place called the "Ebony Arc". This is common knowledge in Firelight. In front of the Arc, a muscled man in colorful garb keeps on kicking at a huddled woman in front of him.
"Excuse me sir, for interrupting personal business, but might I offer a bit of friendly advice? If you are going to threaten people not to say anything, it generally helps if you do so in a back alley where there is no potential witnesses to the conversation, rather than directly in front of a busy door of a well known business. As it is now, I am left to ponder precisely what business it is that you don't wish this lady to talk about that warrants a public beating in the streets, and it's entirely because of what you have said and done and where you have chosen to do so." Andros speaks quietly to the gentleman. "Since, however, you have let the cat out of the bag, perhaps you can take advantage of the opportunity to find a more useful solution to your apparent problem than beating on a helpless woman. I am always on the lookout for employment, and depending on the problem, may be able to help you out, but the only way I can know for certain is if you take the time you would have spent beating your help, and spending it in a quiet parlor with myself where the situation can be discussed a bit more privacy."
The man obviously doesn't take Andros` lesson and offer kindly:
And you better p1ss off. You scare away customers. So vanish or I tear your eyes out and stuff them back into your a55 so you can take a look at all the sh1t you do.
Istyarian moves forward and, if unimpeded, offers the woman a hand up. "Madam, I do apologise for the situation you are in. I am sure that my able-bodied companions can help in whatever way you need."
