The door would slam on them and Uggy would be scared the whole house would come crashing down! Thankfully they would live to see another day. Uggy was surprised though that the bad fire guy did not attack them first or already try to escape. That was weird... But Uggy knew another way to play this game, he'd done it while begging for money. Uggy changed his tone and voice to sound more sincere. "It's okay, it's okay! The old man told us of how you helped him and the others there. You lit up warm fires to help them in the cold. He also told us you were falsely accused, and we want to help." Uggy said winking to Maximus. Uggy knew he was speaking weirdly but hopefully, the guy would fall for it. Uggy telepathically commands one wolf to walk behind Uggy and appear harmless. The other one would quietly sneaks into the dark corner they' had just been to. Uggy lightly taps Maximus to continue on with the charade while summoning a war dart. 
`Cast War Dart for 5 mana. 65/70`

** Maximus facepalms knowing the last time Uggy had a plan it got them In Trouble** "Sir listen, we are here to help and if you really are innocent do you have any idea who could of framed you maybe we can help"

```"I don't trust any of you," The man says. "Look, if you leave me alone I'll figure this all out myself and make things right. You can go for the other two wanteds instead, at least they are accused of a crime they did commit." He pauses for a moment. "The Canifor is a cannibal - she kidnapped children too and probably did the same! If anything you should take her down first before she kills any more innocent people."
The man was not taking any chances with his life, especially when it came to being hunted and killed for treason that he didn't even do. At least he suggested and confirmed that the other two really are criminals, and made sure they knew the risks of leaving the cannibal alive... Killing children too.
Whose health means more? An innocent man, or a cannibal-kidnapper known to target children?```
Mildred
"How can you figure this out yourself?" Uggy says in almost a comforting way. "How can you make this right? You *Ran* To *This abandoned place.* **By yourself.* You didn't run back to your home, you didn't try to take refuge in a friend or family member. You don't have anyone. *You're alone.*...Can you really solve this by yourself?"
Cora
```"This _is_ my home. I grew up in this place before it got condemned," He retorts. "I've lived most of my life alone so far, and what little I had left was stolen from me when I got framed." The man opens the door slightly, several chains on the top, bottom, and middle holding it in place in case they try to shove through, but he doesn't show himself in case they have projectiles. Now his voice is more clear; "In the dark corner there is a trapdoor, leading to a basement. I've compiled evidence, links, and profiles on several people to find out who did it and why, and how I can prove to the law what happened. I've done all of this on my own, and I am so close to being free... Getting my wife and kid back." After a moment's silence the man looks at them through the gap in the door... With his whole-burnt head and face, no hair not even eyebrows. At least the description of his appearance was perfect and spot-on to the image so it wasn't forged. "Please," He begs. "Just leave me be."```
Mildred
"...Did it hurt?" Uggy asks softly. "That burned scar on your face."
Cora
```He slowly nods. "Fire magic is... Temperamental. Dangerous, to yourself as much as others, especially when you were just learning it. My wife saw past the scars though... I love her so dearly. Her and the boy we had together. He's a spitting image of me when I was a kid and I want him to have what I never could - parents to raise him."```
Mildred
"Did they frame you? For being an orphan with no connections? Or did you do **Something?**"
Cora
** Maximus looks at uggy and then looks back then sighs** " Let's make a deal you help us capture these last two and I swear to you I will help you find out the right answer... The truth trust me" ** Maximus says and then throws his bow through the crack in the door to try and gain his trust a little**

```The man moves aside as he sees something come toward him, then notices that it's one of their weapons. He looks at it then returns to the crack in the door.
"You realise you're going to be working with a convicted traitor?" He asks rhetorically. "If anybody recognises me out there and reports us, you two will be accused of aiding a criminal of one of the highest crimes, and also become wanted. I can't risk that."
He takes Maximus' bow and puts it back through the door.
"Yes, I was framed because I'm forgettable and 'unloved'. Easy waste management. But I'm not as useless as everyone makes me out to be. Thanks for your help, but you're wasting time that could be spent saving lives from the Canifor. Goodbye."
He then slams shut the door, and audibly walks away from it to another end of the room, where he won't be able to hear the pair anymore.

At least they decided to spare him. Hopefully they stay true to their word and leave him alone. The guy put heavy emphasis on going after the Canifor - she is guaranteed to be the most actively lethal convict, as a cannibal on the loose.
So next stop, marketplace? Unless they want to go for the Dark Elf first... Or try and continue to fail to convince the Fire Macen, who has made very clear that he wants no help whatsoever.```

** Maximus looks and uggy and back at the door** "Come on Uggy let's go he can't help us anyway" ** Maximus says has he turns around and begins walking off out of the building and will be heading towards the market**
Mildred
"UGH!" Uggy would be so annoyed! "We had that Maxy! In the bag! Bad guy almost crack! I had plan. Make him friendly. Kill him fast. Or if we cant kill him, take evidence from basement! Or destroy house!" Uggy would be sitting on top of Maximus' shoulder again but this time he would be lightly smacking the top of the Felinid's head. "1 gold gone!" Uggy would pout and finally rest his head using the Felinid's head as a pillow. Even when Uggy points, he scouts out for any signs of the Canifor woman. Grey-blue fur and a blind-scarred eye. Hopefully his listener and hawkeyes perks would help him as they approach the market. By now, he unsummoned his wolves and the war dart was gone.
`75/100. 5 mana restored.`
Cora
** While uggy is pouting Maximus digs in pockets and pulls out one gold coin and lifts it up to his little buddy** 
"Here ya go buddy take it"

** Maximus then again cast speak plainly allowing him to hear all the conversations in the market that are close by** 

** Mana 90/100**
Mildred
Uggy's mood would lighten up almost comedically fast! "OOOH shiny!!" Uggy glady takes the gold coin, plays around for a bit, before putting it into his pocket. "Uggy accepts your apology Maxy."
Cora
```The pair leave for the market.

It is now night time as the sun has almost fully vanished over the horizon, yet the amount of activity here doesn't seem to have changed at all. Still a lot of people walking around and buying and selling stuff.
The pair may feel compelled to look around and buy stuff... But they need to focus. There's a cannibal in the area and she needs to be taken down.
Assuming that the spell was cast after arriving at the market; Maximus hears a great many conversations about the wares and stuff about the market, but nothing about a Canifor woman. Well, there were some occasional mentions of Canifor, but they were all interspersed with mentions of other races, more than just other Beastkin, so they won't be much help at all. Besides most of those were coming from vendors directing their products to specific races.
...On the other hand maybe that is worth checking out. Nothing else to do besides looking and waiting for something to come up.```

** Maximus thinks up a plan** " Hey little buddy listen up I got a plan, I think you should climb to the highest point ya can find and then begins searching for anyone that looks like our person while I will go to the venders and see if they have seen our missing person how does it sound?"
Mildred
Uggy would be *So tempted* To try and steal all of these pretty wares... Unfortunately, Uggy had to had bad eating lady first. 
Maximus told Uggy of the plan. Uggy didn't have any complaints but did have a suggestion. "Check meat sellers first." Uggy climbed off Maximus to look for the highest point he can scout out the area with.
Cora
```Good plan. Uggy can do overwatch and try to spot someone who matches the description from above, while Maximus asks questions.

The nearest and tallest structure was a big statue in the middle of a plaza that overlooks the majority of this area. Otherwise, he can climb on top of buildings and be able to move and climb around the area to see from different vantage points.

Maximus on the other hand will be able to ask questions. Uggy's suggestion of checking out butchers and meat merchants was a good way to go, and there were a couple of them to talk to. A Wood Elf man was the nearest butcher, and there was a Felinid elsewhere also selling meat.

Both characters will need to make their decisions on where to go and who to start questioning specifically.```
Mildred
Uggy scales the big statue first, sitting on top of it and holding a tight grip. Uggy would again scan the area however this time as he was not moving and still at a single point, he would try to scour the area with more precise focus. Hopefully, his Hawkeye and darkvision comes in handy.
Cora
** Maximus walks over to the Felinid vender and begins talking** "Hey there ummm let me ask what's the best meat ya go here cause I'm looking for something special" ** He says winking**

```Climbing the statue nets Uggy a couple stares and a bit of disdain from passersby who notice him, but nothing end up giving him trouble. He manages to get up quite easily, the statue having some nooks and outcrops to grab and climb up on.
Scanning the area with Hawkeye lets Uggy see very clearly everything that's happening. All the people moving around nearly look like ants. He doesn't see anything out of the ordinary though... Not yet.

When Maximus approaches, the woman's eyes flick up from the ledger she was writing in and she turns to him with a smile. She thinks for a moment as he asks for 'something special', and suddenly appears confused.
"Special?" She asks. "Uhm... What do you mean by that? Catering or something for an occasion?"```

** Maximus stands there completely silent and slowly lets out a long sigh** "Yes I'm wondering what meat is the most bought by a Canifor... Ya know the misses lovers some meat"
Mildred
Uggy wouldn't get anywhere like this... He couldn't tell everyone apart like this if they were all so small. *Smaller than him keke*. Would the big bad wolf be big enough for him to spot? He'd try to look over the area from this position just one more time...
Cora
```If Uggy keeps an eye on the alleyways of the market area he might notice several people passing through, in and out of those areas. Most of them appear to be normal people taking common routes, but there are some shady people wearing hoods or dark clothes. Petty thieves mostly, which is a given being that they're in a market area. But if a kidnapper-slash-cannibal is going to strike then surely it would be in a dark alleyway out of sight.

"Ah, I see. One moment please," She requests, then going to her ledger to read through sale logs... But it might take a while. Long enough for another Turn.```
Mildred
Uggy would take notice of the potential dangers and opportunities someone could have if they lurked in the alleyways. He'd climb down from the statue and quickly shuffle through the crowd to enter the alleyway.
