Seeing that the guards are pursuing this man, and that he obviously comes from money...
I guess this is one way to make food money...
Glares at the baker, then at the guy in the red cloak. "Alright, I'll protect you, but I want an advance fee up front now to pay for damages to my stuff. [Motioning to armor and weapons] Either hand over some gold, or I toss you to the guards now."
[Intimidate checks as necessary, probably brandishing the halberd]

Aleyria, you read the letter:
Dear adventurer,
I have heard of your accomplishments and now request your assistance. I will inform you more of your mission should you choose to accept it.
Discussions of reward - which will be great - will occur during the next phase of this operation. My attendance, I'm afraid, would pose too great a risk for me. If you are interested in aiding me, meet in Old Town, Azure Falcon Inn, at dusk where a messenger will be waiting with your down payment.
Lady L.N.
The guards do not seem concerned with you, the red-cloaked man seems to be of much greater importance.
You glance at, from the corner of your eyes, an armored man. Much taller than you, he draws a blade from it's sheath. His eyes are locked with yours. His armor is leather with metal studs and plate pauldrons. His cold grey-blue eyes give off an aura of remorselessness. He advances towards you at an alarming pace.
----
He glances to Midorii, "Haggle later, defend me now, I promise great reward. "
The man the guards were harassing, the tall one with the eye-patch, leaps in at an amazing speed.
The red-cloaked man takes a heavy blow, obviously stunned. He glares for a moment, but still seems woozy.
The baker looks to Alexander, "He means no harm! The guards will stab you in the back in an instant! For the people!"
Eladan -- The guard is too fast, you'll need to attack the guardian to throw his attention off, or hope he doesn't break down the bread shop.
Outside the shop, that beggar-woman who palmed that piece misdirects the guards! You are positive the red-cloaked man is in the bread shop now, but you seem certain this person isn't giving off the idea she's lying. The one guard says, "Guardian! Search the bread shop, Dane, head where she said, I'll go around to the other side! Guardian, give it ten before returning to us without quarry."
Eladan, you can see the eye-patched man leap into the shop and uses a fairly non-lethal attack on the red-cloaked man.
Nazia, you spot the aforementioned person walking towards Aleyria.
Actions: ALL

Hmmm, this man means no harm ill find that out later then...
"In that case I will apologize later...."
Alexander looking at the elf with the halberd says "Get him outa here then"
Alexander leaps towards the giant metal guardian, since that seems to be more of a threat at the moment, Alexander will attempt to attack it only to get its attention then go completely defensive as he attempts to keeps the metal guardians attention....

The peasant seemingly doesn't notice the encounter with the armored man.
A little disappointed that her silver tongue could not persuade better, she frowns. Realizing that the guards are still heading toward the man in the red cloak, she mentally sighs and limps over to a shadowy ally or slips into a building.
((Once safely hidden, she removes her layers of filthy clothing and stuffs them into her sack, revealing her hidden mithral chain shirt, elven cloak and boots, shoulder length blue-silver hair tied back with a leather thong, and pointed ears. Without the bulky peasants clothes, it becomes apparent how thin she really is.))

Feh.
"I don't take orders from you. And as for this guy..." *glances at the man in the red cloak* "... He seems to be fine. 'Sides, he owes me now. Rrrraaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!"
[Rage, charge in using Leap Attack (Jump Check?) and Power Attack for -4 to hit, +8 to damage with the halberd]

Combat Initiative
Midorii - 13 Steel Patroller - 13 Red-cloaked Man - 9 Alexander - 6 Elladan - 5
----
Midorii does a great leaping charge and impales the steel patroller with a mighty blow, causing serious damage to the core as well as the chestguard.
[ 25 magic slashing damage ]
The patroller emits a noise.
*Defensive*
Little scarabs across his body spring into action and begin to repair the gaping chest wound.
The patroller retaliates!
"Uphold the law!"
The patroller pummels Midorii once, twice. The fists his hard, but not enough.
[ 11 bludgeoning damage ]
[ 12 bludgeoning damage ]
The Red-cloaked man procures a talisman, but does nothing with it.
Alexander, you hear in your head. My struggle is as much a pain as it is to you. This isn't law, this is tyranny. I'll head south.
Alexander your strike hits him, not so hard, but it does.
[ 5 bludgeoning damage ]
---
Elladan, you can join the combat, or follow the Red-cloaked man as he escapes down the alley.
---
Nazia - You see the red-cloaked man leave just as you finish discarding that outfit. He's headed south.

Deciding that this is too much to bear, Elladan notes the direction the man flees in for tracking at a later time, then draws both of his blades, throws back the hood of his cloak and dashes in, light on his feet to engage the monstrosity.
(Charge if possible, power attack 4. Hehe, power attack 4. If not, move/attack power attack 2)

She raises an eyebrow and purses her lips, contorting her face into one of smugness at the man's ignorance. Her cold silver eyes have no difficulty locking onto his red cloak as she moves. The cloaked silver elf is light on her feet, feeling no encumbrance from her armor, and sticks to the shadows as she follows the red-cloaked man south, avoiding interaction.
OOC: Hide and move silently.

Aleyria, wanting to avoid further notice and conflict at this point decides to shape shift into a cat to get away from this stranger quickly and starts to look for a shop or inn outside of the bazaar for shelter.
This market place has become a madhouse! I'd best find someplace safe until I can meet this lady. An adventure? I haven't had one of those for awhile. And who are these other people I'm supposed to deliver these letters to?
((OOC: What are the other names on the letters? What time is it? Shapeshifting -General Form, cat

Ah... that was relieving... though that stung a bit
"Hmph." *Snatches a piece of bread from the broken window of the bakery, shoving it in her mouth and waving to the baker before hightailing it out of here towards ol' Eyepatch* [to the baker] "Thummph ymmph, ssmmmph!" *through the bread*
Red cloak better be able to run faster than me...

Nazia, the guards have seemingly dispersed in the wrong directions, thanks to your aid. The red-cloaked man continues his hurried pace.
He seems to have eluded the dragontail elf that just fought the guardian....
Midorii, the red-cloaked man is nowhere to be spotted. At least you've no idea where to search.
Elladan, you've marked the red-cloaked man's direction. Although in the heat of the battle, no matter how short, you have lost him. You will have to track him to find his new location, which probably isn't far.
Everyone except Nazia:
The guards are straining to keep order, during this small skirmish... a variety of opportunists leapt into action. The bazaar is in chaos at the moment and with one steel patroller down, it may stay that way.
Aleyria, as you turn into a cat, the armored man's pace changes into a dash, you hide in the alleyways and lose him, probably due to your small size. More closely investigating the letters, you see:
Elladan, Nazia, Midorii, Alexander are on the letters.
Alexander - You head south, but you don't see the red-cloaked man. He certainly didn't seem fast, but this city has millions of hiding spots, your search skill could render some results, but you don't know where he's gone at the moment.
