"Then, either her coworkers are keeping secrets from her, or she knows and doesn't care." Zeldana pointed out. "You, wouldn't happen to know the names of the others he is with do you?"
[spoiler=Zeldana]She frowns "I do not know the names of any of the women, I wish I could help you there. As to the Coworkers I suppose you must be right, I'm not sure which one it will be."
"Well that does make my job more difficult." Zeldana said with a sigh. "I don't think they will be as forthcoming." She muttered before she stood from her seat. "Well, thank you for your time. I do trust that this has enlightened you a bit. I would not expect our Mayor to be so easily swept off their feet." Zeldana told her. "But all of us have lessons to learn."
Loxley sighted down the drawn shaft, aiming at the boar Yeda had just struck. Her father’s voice drifting across the back of her thoughts’
”Best to concentrate attacks and reduce numbers.”
With an quiet exhale she releases the bowstring and lets the arrow fly.
Climbing up the rest of the ladder, Tamm says "Afternoon! It looks like you've got quite the operation here."
"My name's Sazzat Tamm, I just came in from Riddleport in time for all the ruckus at the festival."
"I was looking to spend some time here in Sandpoint but I'll be needing to find some way to support myself here."
"It turns out I made my first mistake the other night and got friendly with a girl named Shayliss Vintner before learning that her father has a protective streak."
"Now he's mad at me and started bad mouthing me."
"Can you believe that? Just a couple of days ago I'm in a battle, fighting goblins to protect a town full of people I didn't know and now, because I spent the night with a girl, I'm a bad guy."
"Anyway, a couple of folks at the bar told me one of you guys here at the mill had a similar problem with the girl's father and that you might be willing to help me out with a job."
The men shut down the machine, a guy removes one of his glove and walks over to shake his hand "Ven's a dick, it's no surprise to me that he got mad at you. I'm actually in a relationship with Shayliss's sister, and she just moved in which might anger her dad. What kind of job might you be interested in performing Mr. Tamm?"
Zeldana thanked the woman for her time before she left. She was slightly annoyed at the road she would have to take now. She didn't think any of the one still seeing him would just open up to it... and with the current situation she'd doubt it would stay a secret long.
"Can I really just walk into the Kitten and start asking? That seems like the foolish thing to do.." Zeldana thought to herself as she just kept walking the streets.
"You being close with Shayliss's sister is probably why people back at the tavern suggested I come talk to you about work. Have you been with her long? Do you think that Ven will get over it eventually if you settle down with her?"
"I don't know much about wood working, but I'm a quick study and I'm just looking to earn enough to keep myself fed."
The boar was supposed to charge him. Thats why he had his foot on the spear. He felt sick the moment he saw the creature ignore him and go for Yeda.
"Dewdrop help her!"
He called as he rushed forward already invoking the power of natures enduring ways to keep Yeda in the land of the living.
The elk was clearly not sure what to do to the boars at all.
"I've never done anything like this, but I'm a quick study."
"I'm just looking for a little work to tide me over. "
"I was thinking that since you were serious with the other Vintner daughter you could help me out since the dad seems the vindictive type."

It all happened in a flash. One of the boars charged her and then nothing. Next thing she knows, she's on her back, slowly opening her eyes again, vaguely seeing the elf recede away as if he'd just done something to bring her back. This tells her it's been seconds, not minutes or hours that she's been out. Well, that's good anyway. Reliable friends, these...
She sits up and shakes the grogginess out of her head.
Thank you... Corrin. She gets up with her sword and looks around for where that boar went...
Loxley relaxed a little when Yeda’s blow felled the first boar but quickly turned her attention to the second beast. Drawing another arrow and notching it she tried to steady herself as she took aim at it, then released.

Yeda swings as hard as she can but swings wide, slashing a large gash in the ground, bringing us to Corrin and loxely
Also the spoiler that says loxley is supposed to say Zeldana, sorry guys my bad
Taking a long sigh the looking at the guard with a dead serious face saying "To make a very long story short, I am doing a favor for an acquaintance or rather his lover, in which I am seeing who has been spending time with her sister's lover. After confirming that he had indeed been seeing other people some what which work in this establishment. And no I do not mean he was purchasing their service, it was after hours in the free time. So now I am here to speak to them... or well I guess I could just speak to her and inform her that there is truth in what was said. Either way I still would have to go inside to speak to the people or person... whichever I end up choosing." Zeldana shrugged and asked. "Statified?" to the bouncer.
Dewdrop made an obnoxious braying sound, clearly not thrilled at dealing with the boar, but the green haired elf quietly took a better grip on his spear and thrust it at the creature.
The shoanti scratches his head and looks as if he's struggling to think for a bit, before struggling and says "You can go in... I think."
Corrin strikes a hit but Dewsrop misses. Loxley?
Zeldana gave a gentle pat on the Shoanti guard's shoulder as she offered a smile. "Don't think about it too hard." She said gently. Then she went inside, not really looking foreword to this part at all.
Unwilling to risk firing into the engaged melee with her bow Loxley lowered it, but raised her empty hand. A short, softly murmured phrase in the arcane tongue and a flash of light erupts from an outstretched finger.
The light flies, unerringly past Corrin and weaves between Yeda and Dewdrop to strike the boar a solid blow.
"Sure, I've got a little time. Why don't you show me how the mill works." Tamm answers.
With a wild inarticulate yell watching the boar attempt to gut Yeda again he darted forward standing over the human woman his spear leading.
Dewdrop followed after the boar attempting to return the goring favor.
"I am afraid I am not here for you actual services." Zeldana told her. "I'm actually here to speak with Katrine, her sister wanted me to look into something for her and well... I need to inform Katrine what I've found." She explained. "If she is busy I can wait. I don't want to get in the way of her work any more than I need to." Zeldana said.
Zeldana blushed when paid a complement. She got them from time to time but still never got use to them. "While I thank you for the complement I'm nothing special." Zeldana said with a smile. Keeping her nature she then when into the prospect of having to pay to talk to Katrine. "I am rather aware that time is money here, more so than many other places, I am not looking to take up as much time as a proprietor of this establishment would. Is your system broken down into moments? I always assumed it was hours to be honest, since what I have to say will not take that long simply a few moments and no where near a hour... unless Katrine has question that I must answer, would really paying for the whole time I wouldn't be here fair?"
She sighs and says "One gold for 15 minutes, that's as low as the price will go. Normally we charge in increments of hours, I suppose we must support local business owners and all of that."
Zeldana shrugged as she dug out and gold piece. It was a bit steep but Zeldana weighed the price against the news she was going to tell Katrine. A gold seemed only right for the fact she was likely going to ruin a relationship... and that made her feel bad but Katrine had the right to know!
"I take it I pay you not her?" Zeldana asked.
She chuckles "Indeed, I'll lead you to her." and she leads you back, opening the door and saying "Zeldana from the harrow shop is here to talk to you Katrine, said Shayliss asked her to look into something and she needs to tell you something. Kick her out after 15 minutes though she doesn't think it's likely to take that long."
Zeldana stepped in and gave a small wave hello to Katrine. "Hello, I don't know if you remember me, but that is unimportant. I was asked, being a impartial third party, to look into the truth about something that worried her." She began. "You might want to sit down for this."
Tamm will finish up his introduction to mill work and then heads back to the inn.
Oh shoot, sorry guys that was the wrong account. Next time I'll get it right
"Nothing concrete yet, but a new acquaintance named Zeldana is working on finding some evidence that he is cheating on her. If that doesn't work out, then I think I've persuaded them to give me a job at the mill, so I'll be in a place to learn more."
Loxley cursed as she slid from her saddle and dropped her bow. She runs over to the fallen Yeda, dropping to her knees she grimaces at the painful stop but ignores it as she once again calls magical energies to her hands.
But, instead of the magic lashing out in a destructive outlet or providing a protective shield as most arcane casters tend to do, Loxley pulls the energies back into her and rechannels it through her own positive energy, her life force. Placing her hands onto Yeda she shoves the magic into her.
Zeldana gave a long sigh before she began "You sister heard your father tell you about Benny, she wanted to know if it was true or not. But she was scared to say anything to you because she felt you would just say that she wanted Benny for herself." She explained. "So she asked me to look into it. I tracked down the supposed other woman and... well Katrine I found out that he was telling you the truth. Benny has been far from loyal to you. The one you father caught him with isn't his only one. He has others he sees that work here, and no he seems them off they are off their shift not on it." Zeldana told her as kindly as she was able. "Your sister loves you Katrine, and wants to see you with someone who will treat you right. That is all. What you choose to do it up to you but you have the right to know." She said with a shrug. "I know your father isn't the nicest or easiest person to get along with, but I do believe deep down he cares about you both, he just is really bad at showing it." Taking a few moments to be silent and let Katrine take it all in she looked the poor woman over and asked "Are you okay? It's alright to say no."
Yeda's wounds again close up, but only just enough for the world to stop spinning. Her vision comes into focus just in time to see Loxley pull away again.
This boar is hellish, or my luck out today! Thank you, Loxley.
After sitting up, she leans over and vomits a little bit, and as if this was just to purge the remainder of feeling physical ailment stands and firmly grips her greatsword.
