The dogs immediately come over and stand expectantly in front of Roeban. The two toughs look shocked and quite pissed off. "Step off now or you're dead!" one says, holding his shortsword handle.
"Which Hounds of Camber don't we want to go messing with? These two hounds? Mmm, yes these two Hounds of Camber are a couple of dangerous hounds indeed, aren't they? Are all of your hounds so terrifying?"
Bart will laugh out loud at the new situation the toughs have for themselves. "Haha, looks like you might have to do your own fighting boys! Gertrude would prefer it that way anyway."
Bart will take one step forward, arms still crossed.
The two toughs look a bit concerned, clearly outnumbered. One makes a quick sharp whistle and the dogs heel. The two men (and the dogs) step back and carefully take the stairs back up to the fourth floor. One issues a warning "Stay outta Camber turf".
"It was never our intention good sir. As I stated earlier, we are simply looking for a good friend of ours, Red Kristen. If you were to tell us in which room she lives, we'll be out of your hair as fast as we can."
"Well, that's not very helpful. Guess we could ask around here then. Or maybe it's back to the Grey Mule and ask some more patrons if they know where Red Kristen stays..."
From the fourth floor the gangers eye you carefully. Eventually a larger, more burly man steps out, a small keg of beer under his arm. He looks down at you, whispering to his fellow gang members.
The men on the fourth floor keep an eye on you for a while, then go back to drinking. Someone pulls out a deck of cards and several go into one of the apartments.
"We're not getting any help here... Let's go back to The Grey Mule, maybe Red Kristen will be there or maybe someone else will be able to tell us where else she might be staying..."
You make your way to the tavern. When you open the door the crowd turns and their faces quickly drop to frowns. "Where are those lasses?" One patron says. "I ain't seen Red Kirsten in a day, Molli and Brennan either."
"Last time I saw Molli and Brennan they were talking to a few of them Hounds of Camber"
