Assist Dip The cheery halfling chimes in - "Like he says, everything as above board as it can be - just some shady ne'er-do-wells have been about peddling nasty drugs, and I'm not talking a bit of innocent flaylef down behind the tomato bushes, no, something much darker. We're hanging about to ask them to put a stop to it - sorry about the trespass, but surely as decent and upstanding citizens you can see the need and maybe look the other way til at least supper?"

"I'd really consider surrendering before the lion decided you make a better meal" Kitty offers, only partly caring if he does or not. Kitty moves over to try stabilise the beetle, hopping OVER the stream.
"Or if say a lion and a wolf started chasing each other through the bar and a few panicked guests... us... started flipping tables and yelling and screaming, the bar might empty out quite nicely. As long as no one got hurt we pay a few coins for damages and put the whole thing down to 'a bunch of over excited animals at play, must have smelt the clam chowder and got hungry, mind how you go sir sorry for your troubles, heres a couple of gold for your inconvenience and I'll be begging your good day' and off we go"
"Scandalous! The Overflowing Oyster is selling fakes and forgeries to unwitting punters and engaging in nefarious and underhanded trade!? What an outrage! Perhaps time to go and put a fly right in their ointment" Kitty does her best to look scandalised, but it is clear she isn't really all that phased. "Still, a good opportunity to engage in totally legitimate agricultural trade with the fine folks of the Kortos Consortium, no doubt they have need of a source of rural produce from a more suitably agrarian clime than Diobel has to offer..." She turns back to the Venture Captain:
The Halfling looks at the fellow for a moment with an appraising eye, "Are you one of those fellows who spent too much time in an Academae? Has the intelligence to know a tomato is a fruit, but not the wisdom to leave it out of a fruit salad? Of course you can't build cabbage furniture - by the time you went to all that effort you could have used wood or even cane. I see you are half Elven, is the other half Gnomish? Now I can suggest that produce this fresh would make a terrific stew - and with a complimentary box of carrots, well all you'd then need is some potatoes - and on that note may I just point out you are in luck today my fine friend..."
Noting the arrival of a new face to the Lodge, Kitty prings into action. "Hey I 'm impressed, must be an effective gang, haven't seen a single phoenix since arriving in Absalom - so then you lot would be out of work but hey you're in luck... ever considered being merchants? I can do you a spectacular deal on a wholesale lot of cabbages, as a gesture of goodwill and to help you get started I will even throw in a pallet of carrots. So how many can I put you down for?" the Halfling smiles broadly.
"These are the finest cabbages in Avistan! Yes, yes, yes I am sure you saw some bigger and cheaper 'Halfling grown cabbages' off that hook nosed Chelaxian importer - but that man is nothing short of a bounder and a thief, he cuts his costs by using city bred halfling slaves that wouldn't know a proper farm if they were buried in it as fertiliser. Oh her? The big cat? We had a problem with really big rats. Shall I put you down for one crate of cabbages or two? Did you want to talk about some carrots?" The halfling farmer doesn't miss a beat as she hawks her wares whilst waiting on another assignment. She is dressed smartly, though with plenty of rustic rural charm.
