I glance back at Irene with a bit of concern. "You might want to find a safe place for her," I state in the same flat tone, but a hint of worry as well.

Layla:
"They stole from a merchant, so in order to atone for this crime, they are being forced to work and to eat minimal rations so that they can survive on said amount," the leader says.
Leina:
"I'm good at hiding myself," Irene says proudly, as though this was a game of hide-and-seek.

I look back at her again with a smile, she could be an interesting one...

"In all due respect, are you not simply encouraging the perpetuation of these types of crimes? Starving a person who stole because they are starving does not teach a lesson about theft. The reason they swiped food was because they needed it, not because they wanted to make themselves richer... Perhaps I could offer you a deal. They're crime is of a monetary nature, so perhaps I could buy their freedom. I've been noticing your town's got a bit of an issue with the Reds, and I might be able to help you with that." I say.

Leina & Nyx & Sand-Claw:
"A couple miles" turns out to be based on how high the mountains are. There are two mountains just a little ways out of town. Near the peak of the second one, you find, once again, a small Red Army settlement. However, it is abandoned. The only person left is a dead soldier.
Layla:
"How much are you offering?" the leader asks. "And how do you expect to rid us of the Red Army?"

"Ah, and here's where to two points meet up... I see if I can kick their a**, and you consider their crimes paid for." I say.

I look to Sand-Claw and Nyx with a bit of confusion... "Well where do you think they could have run off to?" I ask, showing how bothered I was...

"Hmm..." I perk my ears up to listen for sounds and start trying to pick up any scents that might tell us which way they went. I nudge Irene and cast a meaningful glance at her in request for help since she's got better senses than I do.

"Well I heard you were over priced, I suppose not ALL rumors are false" Willow turned on her heels and walked out of the shop, heading in search of the others, she had long grown bored of this town.

"It's just like hide-and-seek!" I proclaim loudly, and look around for tracks leaveing the camp, shouldn't be too hard to find if an army just left the place on foot or horse.

Layla:
The council thinks about this for a moment.
"You have twenty-four hours to remove the Red Army from the vicinity," the leader says.
The others nod in agreement.
Nyx:
You don't hear anything, and the scent is faint. However, Irene points to the other side of the mountain.
"That way," she declares.
Willow:
The blacksmith just shrugs.
"Maybe you're just broke," he says casually.
Sand-Claw:
They seem to have covered their tracks, but Irene seems to have picked up their scent.

I look at Irene with a bit of surprise but then look in the direction that she pointed. "Well, then I guess we go that way..." I state lightheartedly as I begin walking rather swiftly.

I give a curtsey.
"Thank you." I say before turning around and heading out to find the party, Nyx in peticular, since she was the one who was expressing the most concern over the situation. Getting a good deed done while fulfilling an intended goal anyways... Now this is efficancy! Let time to kick those Reds so hard their grand kids will feel it!

Leina:
As soon as you exit the camp, you are scooped up in a hidden net trap! You hang above the path in a very cramped position, your knees pressing into your breasts.
Nyx & Sand-Claw:
Leina got caught in a trap! Irene laughs, thinking this is a joke.
Layla:
No matter where you search, you can only find Willow (she looks...well...she doesn't look like she feels anything, actually), Apollo (just standing there, still...), and Mazurn, who is busy hacking up a tree to keep his sword sharp.

"Time to leave the town then and find them..." I say under my breath as I head out in search for the group.
