"I overheard some rumors that you could tell me more about the Redbrands." Colten said as he strolled up to the woman. With a hushed voice, he added, "We seek to end their menace for the good people of Phandalin."

"Rumors about rumors, I suppose" the halfling says with a chuckle, tossing her broom to the side. "Name's Qelline Alderleaf" she says as she gives a half hearted bow, "And anyone willing to stick their necks on the line to confront those bandits are friends of mine!"

She takes a seat on a box just outside of the front door of her house and invites all of you to do likewise. "Feel free to stack a few if you're needing there, big guy" Qelline says to Etch. Once everyone is settled she tells of how her son, Carp, was playing in the woods near the old Tresendar Manor and came across a tunnel hidden away in some brush. "Says some big ol' bandits came out of the tunnel when he was there and starting talking to a couple of those Redbrands. He's figures there's a lair underneath the manor." Qelline starts to laugh, "Of course he's ten, he figures there are secret lairs just about anywhere he looks, although he was genuinely scared when he ran back to tell me. "

"Could have him point you off in the right direction if you'd like. Probably amount to nothing, but may be worth your time."

"Who is their leader and what should I watch out for if I get in there?" Colten asked curiously.

Etch stacks a couple crates as the woman suggested, then stands stoically beside them.

"You'd be useful as a farm hand, big guy!" the halfling quips, raising an eyebrow at the sight of Etch's handy work.

"I don't even know if these thugs have a leader or if that tunnel even exists. No one has bothered to even look since Carp came up with that story." Qelline responds to Colten's query. Before she can get another word in a voice from inside the house yells out, "Ain't no story, Ma!! And I can prove it!!"

Qelline sighs and shakes her head, leaning forward toward Colten, "Fancies himself an adventurer, that one."

"I am a hunter, not a farm hand."

"Well, let's see how much of your little story holds true, shall we Carp?" The nobleman said while standing up. There did not seem to be much more Qelline had to offer, and Colten never really liked children. They were humanoids without the behavior, and had an alien quality about them: lacking in the ability to reason and oblivious to etiquette.

Etch shouts, "Yes, come out here and prove to us the tunnel exists." After all, it was always better to get proof of its whereabouts before chasing after a beast.

Clapping my hands over my ears Do ya have taken go and shout like that?

Etch turns to Delg and speaks at just above a whisper, "I was unaware stealth was required in the present circumstance. If we are ambushed, I will protect you from your assailants. Worry not."

My ears boy, I worry about my ears not some blasted ambush. Turn your volume down a bit.

Colten quietly awaits as his "companions" shout at each other.

Well seems he can show us the way then. As long as his mother is OK with it? Perhaps you would be kind enough to get your son to show us the way?

" If he has found their lair, I'll not let him be slain by the beasts that threaten the town." Etch ensures his volume matches Delg's.

"Carp! Come on out here, Lad. I'd like you to tell these folks where you found that tunnel of yours."

After a few seconds pause you hear some shuffling of feet from within the building before the door swings open. A young halfling, his shirt mis-buttoned, and his pants torn in more than a few places, walks out onto the porch. Staring at his feet he mumbles to his mother, "I can show 'em, Ma, but I don't need 'em protecting me! Cori and I can handle ourselves."

Of all things in the world, TWO halfling children? What have I done to deserve this torture?

"Err. . .come on kids. Let's see what you've . . .got?" Colten said with an eyebrow raised, clearly uncomfortable with his prospect in the near future.

You hear the sound of chopping wood in the background stop and the sound of running feet begin. A moment later, Cori rushes into the room following Carp. Slightly out of breath and carrying a beat-up battleaxe in his left hand, Cori is short even for a halfling at a diminutive 2'9". Despite the weight, he appears to have totally forgotten the axe in his hand.

The young halfling, wearing no shirt and with his pants stained in a dozen places, looks momentarily taken aback when he sees his mothers guests. His eyes brighten when he sees Delg.

"With facial hair like that, folk are going to think you are pretending to be a dwarf", he says in Halfling with a wink and a laugh. "How did you get mixed up with a crew like this?" he says, indicating to the rest of the party.
OOC:
I have used green text to talk in halfling. Let me know if you have a different convention.

Oh I'm just a big jokestermistake Hahaha

Unable to understand what Cori is saying, Colten sighs and begins to walk, hoping that Carp is slightly more enthusiastic about it that he is.

Carp, finally looking up from his feet, yells at Colten as the nobleman starts to walk away. "Hey wait, mister! I'll show you where the tunnel is." Before his mother can blurt any objections Carp is halfway through the family's field, running as quickly as his little legs will carry him. Coming to the edge of the woods, which is about fifty feet from the farm, he stops waiting for the others to join him.

"It's this way! It's this way!" he yells, stealth obviously not being one of his strong suits. "Ma said I could go with you, right Cori?"
