G5 - Fast Feet

In the morning, Bor Blackfist found a young 8-year-old tabaxi, slumped on a pony, with an arrow sticking out of his leg.

Aka Noone and Mel rushed to him and tried to decipher what had happened. After applying first aid, they started looking for clues.

On his person, he had some toys, marbles, and a toy soldier, some food, water, and a bedroll. The arrow that had struck him was a military arrow, built to cover long distances. When the boy came to, they learned that

* His name is Fast Feet Toodles
* Hailed from Limsa Lominsa
* His parents took him in the middle of the night and played hide and seek on the way
* The name of one of the bandits was Captain Moor and had a hook for a hand
* The ponies name is Clonk
* His dad's name is Snail Toodles and his mom's name is Clean Toodles
* They were attacked coming up the mountain
* His address is 23 Finch Ln

Rhea decided to take care of Fast Feet while Aka Noone and Mel went to investigate heading North towards Limsa Lominsa.

Heading down the mountain, they found an upturned wagon and horse tracks coming up to the area and then moving back toward Limsa Lominsa. Both Snail and Clean lay dead, killed by some kind of blunt weapon. Their possessions, money pouches, were still there. Aka Noone collected their silver wedding rings. The chests had already been opened, with their contents spilled everywhere.

Mel and Aka Noone decided to bury the bodies close by and continued towards Limsa Lominsa. They were able to get through the gate without any problems and set out to look around in the city. They found a fast kobold guide by the name of Quirk. They ended up at the Drunken Squid to see if they can find any sailors matching Captain Moor's description, but it became obvious that they wouldn't have much luck, and the alcohol quality didn't make them want to linger any longer.

They headed to Fast Feet's house at Finch Ln and managed to get in through a window in the back while Quirk waited outside. In the house everything was up-turned, all the drawers were opened, cushions were slashed. They found a ripped up note from Snail telling his mom that they had to go, and they will send her a message as soon as they made it to Twin Pines Town.

Quick mentioned that a neighbor was eyeing the place from behind one of his curtains. Aka Noone and Mel went to talk to him, found out his name was Buzz Bottlebottom. He had seen 4 people wearing black acting suspicious, three Hobgolins, one with a hook and a female halfling with X tattoos by her eyes. Furthermore, they found out that Snail's mom lived a street over and sold Sweet Roles through a bakery. Aka Noone sold him some tickets for a ball taking place five days from now for the guard pension fund.

After sleeping at Snail's house for the night, they headed to Fast Feet's grandma's bakery. The bakery was closed, so they headed over next door and found Sweet Rolls Toodles sick at her house. She wanted to pass along a message to her son through Aka Noone and Mel, that she gave them.

The party didn't let her know the fate of her son, daughter-in-law, and her grandkid. Instead, they took the note and ended up at the Wandering Pride, an inn frequented by Tabaxi and Leonin. An old Leonin, and proprietor of the Wandering Pride, Nodley was threatening a group of youths that were allegedly selling drugs. The youth had black X crosses by their eyes. After depositing their weapons in a drawer outside, Mel and Aka Noone entered the inn. While having brunch by a regular, they started talking about their predicament with the note to draw attention to themselves. It worked, Nodley heard from the regular and was checking up their story after talking to them.

He took the note from them and said he would take care of it. Aka Noone and Mel decided it was time for them to go. As they were about to leave, the teens that Nodley had told to shod off were coming in, itching for a fight...
