MariJaen listening to Tomas adventures as they head to eat forgets her rumbling stomach and turns her attention at the entrance of Krusten with the unconscious girl. MariJaen follows Tomas to give aid to the girl wrapped in blankets not knowing what exactly going on.
"Let me heal her, so she may account for her actions." Looking to Tomas for approval, he seems to her to be the something of a leader to her newfound group.
Out of Character: : MariJaen casts Cure Light Wounds. If Tomas gives indication for her to do so.
Tomas decides he needs to at least say something "Krusten, I will not bind her, but if what you say is true, maybe you should, before MariJaen wakes her up. She is fine, no damage from what I can see, but unconscious. I myself am unwiling to draw the ire of her father." He makes a gesture of giving up and distances himself.
AT THE RANCH
The news of Krusten's arrival spread rapidly in the ranch. Everybody worries and wonders about what might have happened to Abigail and, in a few minutes, at least half of Goatshearer's workers are already gathered next to the main archway.
MaryJaen helps the merchant's daughter to stand up, with the help of a spell, and, while the girl slowly comes to her senses, one of the workers approaches her and says in a reassuring tone: "Don't worry, Milady, Your Father is already on the way". Most of the other employees of the Ranch hurry to help her sit down or to help her find a comfortable position. Some of the women are crying. From the promptness and concern with which the workers are trying to take care of Abigail, you realize that the girl is loved by Goatshearer's people.
Somebody presses Krusten over: "What are you talking about? Troublemaker? Wrong doings? What did you do to her?".
The rest of the group watches, wondering what will come out of the situation.

AT THE INN
Ceza Feuro wakes up and finds himself alone at the table. He takes a look around. The Druid is still talking to the innkeeper and there's a middle-aged man sitting at one of the other tables. Apart from that, the room is empty. He checks the floor and sees only one bag, apart from his own. One of the other guys, apparently, left for good and the other must be outside.

Mina tells Butch, "We found the goods the bandits took, but tools? There wasn't more than a group would have. Hrmmm, I guess I should maybe talk with him then and find out more information."
She nods to Butch then returns to the table but seeing only Ceza, moves to sit at Murno's table. She looks to the man and straight on asks him, "So, what tools was my friend looking for, for you? We found a few items and such but most things seemed like normal items for a group to have. Did you have a list of the items taken from you, Mr Murno?"
Krusten looks for the butler in the crowd and calls him forward, if he is not there she insists that he be brought forward.
As Krusten gets up she looks at her seriously letting her know that what ever thoughts she had about her weakness should be dispelled about now.
MariJaen seeing the gathering crowd tries to stay close to Tomas so as to avoid the center of commotion. Watching Tomas taking her queues from him she tries to lead Abigail inside away from the crowd so that they can find some answers as to what is going on.
AT THE INN
Mr Murno welcomes Mina to his table. He offers the girl a drink then, with a kind smile, he explains: "I was waiting for my usual shipment. I sell tool heads at the local market every month. It would be not too many of them, a couple of dozens at best. I don't know exactly how many because the quantity depends on how many the blacksmith in Loya is able to forge for me. With the war going on in the Neck and the inner problems, tools are not a priority for the blacksmiths in the Empire. Weapons are way more profitable".
Ceza Feuro notices that his bag has been moved.
AT THE RANCH
Tomas struggles to contain the crowd that is getting bigger and bigger as the news spread around the Ranch. MaryJaen tries to get to Abigail to lead her to a quiet corner but she has to compete with several commoners that are trying to get to her for various reasons. Is a race to help or get the attention of the merchant's daughter that still looks confused and not fully aware of what is going on or where she is.
Krusten looks around searching for the butler and, not seeing him anywhere, spreads the word that the man be looked for, because he is the one that can provide the explanation. Somebody listens to her and repeats the order but most of the commoners keep pressing Krusten for answers wanting to know what happened in the woods between her and Abigail.
Several voices speak at once and the area in front of the main entrance to the Ranch is now not different from the central fish market in Sor.
