The woman attempts a second explanation. "OK the truth! I have been sent here to recover the key by an Aspis Consortium captain. I have been told that if i fail to recover the key, he will kill me and my children. Please do not allow this to happen. I have no interest in anything more than freeing my children. I will give you anything you want."
As the woman begins the second long winded explanation, the minute duration of the enlarge person finally wears off. Girzog slowly reduces back down to medium size.
The woman smiles at the sight of the Tengue shrinking back down to a more manageable size. "Perhaps you are correct. I have over stayed my welcome. We shale part ways peacefully. Thank you for your understanding Pathfinders."
As the woman and her men begins to leave, Dumm catches a gimps of something tiny and shiny skittering away from Girzog, and into a near by bush. After staring at the tiny thing a moment, Dumm manages to identify a tiny little lizard with a gold key in its mouth.
Because of his perception (21), Dumm is granted a surprise round.
Dumm:

Surprisingly loyal, that dog, Dumm thinks. I didn't even feed him. Not that he would have; feeding a wild animal is a good way to kill it, once it stops relying on its own instincts.
A flash of movement by Girzog catches his eye. It takes a second for him to recognize the importance of the lizard-- it's carrying the key the woman is after. "No! No take key!" He runs after the lizard toward the bush, sword ready above his head.

Dumm: The barbarian spots a tiny little lizard making off with the gold key. Without a second though, he bolts forward in an attempt to catch the tiny thing before it can skitter away.

The Woman: The rough looking woman adjust her position and begins casting. Soon after her arcane words trail off, a soothing sensation can be felt by, Kardiv, Butharn, and Girzog.
Thug (Yellow): The well dress man, standing next to the ugly looking thug, gets a look of panic as he observes Ostrogard retrieving an alchemical vial. Not sure what the Halfling is planing to do with the vial, the man opts to fire his crossbow at the rogue. Immediately after firing his weapon he shifts further south.

Girzog: The feathered fighter moves up to the (Pink) thug with intent. While looking the man in the eye, the Tengu swings a razor sharp claw at the man.
Dumm: After spotting the small lizard, Dumm pauses and attempts to decided what to do next.
Kardiv: The paladin knocks an arrow and fires it into the fight that is taking place behind the wagon. Unfortunately, the large barbarian steps in the shot’s path and causes it to fly off into a nearby shrub.
Jinhong: The land faring swashbuckler steps up to the witch and takes another limp wrested swing. The blade hits flat and does nothing to the woman.

Ostrogard: The small rogue steps up and takes a swing at the ugly looking thug.
Thug (Blue): The ugly looking thug drops his crossbow and moves into melee with the paladin, while drawing a scimitar. Acknowledging the paladins ability with the bow, the ugly thug smiles as he takes a side handed swing at the archer.
Xeanja: The rough looking woman steps back and attempts to put a misfortune hex on Girzog.
Misfortune (Su): The witch can cause a creature within 30 feet to suffer grave misfortune for 1 round. Anytime the creature makes an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, it must roll twice and take the worse result. A Will save negates this hex. At 8th level and 16th level, the duration of this hex is extended by 1 round. This hex affects all rolls the target must make while it lasts. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.
Thug (Yellow): Drops his crossbow and moves up to Ostrogard while drawing a scimitar. Without delay the well dress thug takes an over hand swing at the little rogue.
Thug Pink: The sea faring sell-sword takes an over hand chop, at Girzog, with his scimitar.

With the lizard dead and the key temporarily safe, Dumm turns his attention to the thug.

Dumm: With a mighty two handed swing, the barbarian brings his massive blade into a deadly overhead attack. The attack strikes the intended target and virtually cleaves the man in half.
Girzog: The Tengu fighter mentally fights off the misfortune hex of the witch. After a quick glance to insure the thug is no longer a threat, the feathered fighter steps up to the witch and rakes a claw across her face.

Kardiv: The young paladin steps back and draws an arrow. After taking carful aim, he fires the arrow with unbelievable accuracy. The arrow strikes the well-dressed thug in the eye, sending him spinning to the ground.
Jinhong: The swashbuckler steps up to the witch and takes yet another limp wristed swing. Her blade swishes harmlessly by the woman’s head.
Ostrogard: The Halfling moves up to the ugly thug and slides his cold iron dagger into the man’s ribs. Gasping for air, the man falls to the ground.
Xeanja: The witch smiles gently. “Travel safely, Pathfinders, but travel swiftly,” she says. “I’m far from the only Consortium vulture looking to pick your bones today.” She looks toward the road back to Bloodcove, where in the distance birds and chattering monkeys scatter from the canopy as if frightened by a large force moving in this direction and, at best, two hours away. After watching her hired muscle be stricken down, the witch withdraws and flees into the nearby vegetation.
