The keeper of the candy cart, hearing his business being mentioned, and noticing the variety of the group. He immediately propelled himself in front of the travelers. "Ah, greetings," he bowed. "Are you adventurers, perhaps? I was wondering if I could invoke your help for a few moments...? It shan't take too long for a group such as yourself..." He looked imploring.

Melody was following at a distance, Coal riding on her shoulder again. "Are you going to be alright? You still look a little pale," Coal asked softly. "I'll be fine. If it bothers me too much, I'll fly above the group and follow from the air," Melody replied, catching up to the group as they were stopped by the candy cart owner.
(OOC: I've been grounded from the computer, so i'll only be able to get on at school for a few days. can you guys drag Melody along if i'm not able to?)

Garatrog weighed the value of staying and listening compared to moving before they ran out of time. "We dont need your god cursed candy. We have better things to do, but if you have something important to say then say it fast, so as not to waste our time. If not, then slink back into the shadows and wait for someone more pathetic to cross your path".

The cart owner raised a brow, but decided to ignore the rudeness. "My candy has been steadily disappearing all day... I've asked around, and several other food shops have been having the same problems. I've been watching the cart, and it's disappeared right under my--" As he spoke, a large colourful sucker suddenly vanished, accompanied by impish laughter. "See?? I fear this place may be cursed. You look like powerful travelers. Could you investigate the cause for me? I'd be prepared to reward you for the trouble..."

Viktor narrowed his eye. Something was amiss... Egads! It must be a sweet-nicking floobledebob! "Hmmm... Perhaps it has bin a-stolen by the SWEET-NICKING FLOOBLEDEBOB?!" it seemed logical enough to him, in the least. It was either that, or an imp. But you didn't see too many of them nowadays. It was too unlikely.

Melody stepped back, startled as the candy dissappeared right in front of her. "Well, that's a handy trick," she muttered to Coal, before turning to Dylan. "We should help," she said softly.

Dylan gave the boy a severe look. "Yes," he admitted, "we should. And you, young sir, do not speak for the group. You would do well to remember that." He strolled over to the cart and raised a hand, trying to pinpoint any spell that may be in effect. "I doubt it's a curse. Nicking food and sweets... sounds more like a prankster to me."

At the word 'prankster', the sucker reappeared suddenly, half-eaten and sticky, and was slapped against Dylan's outstretched palm. More impish laughter was heard, and for a split second, a vague black-and-fire shape could be seen.

Melody shifted into a wolf and sniffed the air, attempting to track the prankster. She growled softly as she picked up a strange scent. Coal flew above her, trying to see it.
(OOC: everything she smells is strange to her, but this is closer and smells faintly of candy and pudding.)

Garatrog felt fear, anger, then fear again. Fear at the strange unknown of what was happening ander at Dyalan for challenging his athority and fear again when he realized that he still didnt know what was happening. He retreated to the center of the croud of people. The partially eaten chicken still slung over his shoulder.
OOC: Im telling you guys that this person is a genius in his own right. Just... not in very practical ways right now.

Dylan grimaced at the sucker and pulled it off as quickly as he could. "Ech. That's disgusting." He dropped the candy on the ground and looked over at Mel, wiping his hand on his pants. "You've got something? Try to keep it in the area! We don't want to loose it."

More impish laughter rang through the air. A delicate, singsong voice called out, "Catch me if you can!" and slight movement could be seen darting through the cart's contents, but little more than a blur or ripple in the air where it moved.

Viktor's eye widened to the point that it might have popped out of his skull, as something inside him snapped. Small, furry animimal? Viktor giggled, and then knelt down into a feral position, and grinned his patented wide grin that was more like simply baring all his teeth at once, and bore little of the humor that normally danced about his being. He would find it, and he would chase it up the nearest tree...

Melody growled again and took a step forward, attempting to follow this one scent among all the others. Coal swooped and attempted to chase the ripples in the air. Frustrated, she called out "Will you just show yourself? This is childish and we are kind of in a hurry."

The ripples bounced up, onto an awning above the cart. The little voice rang out again. "Maybe if the sharp teeth kept to themselves!"

Melody returned to her normal form. "I wasn't going to hurt you. I was just trying to track you," she said, hurt that someone would think she could hurt them. Coal settled on her shoulder and sighed. "There, no sharp teeth. Now will you show yourself?" she said, exasperated.

"What about the other guy? He's freakin' me out." the voice replied. A sucker appeared and gestured in Viktor's direction.

Coal looked over at Viktor in surprise. "Viktor? But he's harmless. Sure, he might try to chase you into a tree, but he wouldn't hurt you. But, if you won't come down, you could at least make yourself visable," Coal said rationally. Melody just stood there, since Coal seemed to be making progress.

"Well, if it's visible you want..."
The ripples in the air slowly dissapated, and revealed a little creature, less than a foot tall. He had long horns, a longer tail, and was covered in black-and-fire fur. He had an impish look about him, and a little sack stuffed full of the candy cart's wares.
"...Ta-da?" he said.

Coal got off Melody's shoulder and flew up for a closer look. After a moment’s hesitation, Melody turned into a sparrow again and flew up with her. She landed between it's ears and looked at it upside down. "Peep?" she said curiously, tilting her head to one side. Coal landed daintily beside it. "So, who, or what, are you, precisely?" she asked casually, inspecting her claws for dirt.

Viktor blinked, and shuffled over to the strange creature, apparently slightly, if insignificantly dissapointed. "It is notta Floobledebob," he murmered, stating the obvious, and then something dawned on him, and he beamed. Living in the forest, he had seen one of these things before... "IMP!" he seemed immensly pleased.

"Ooh, very good. I'm impressed," the imp said, bowing in Viktor's direction. "My kind aren't often seen in these parts... Which means there's little defences for... fun." He grinned broadly.

" The fairy pouted, she was apparently in their eyes invisible. she crossed her arms and mutterd on the ground, she mumbled some words in her own language ' självupptagna, elaka, stor fötter!' she stomped and flapped her small wings obviously not happy "

The imp jumped down, landing directly in front of the fairy. "Hey there. Someone in my size."

Ah! That had been what he had been waiting for. Bless imps' short attention spans. Dylan swung his axe around gracefully and snagged the bag of sweets neatly on the end, pulling out of reach of the imp. He grabbed it and winked down at Tai. "Thanks for that, friend. now we can just be on our way..." He winced and looked down, silently cursing himself for swinging a battleaxe with his injured hand.

The imp stared, goggle-eyed. "My sweeeeeeets..." He jumped and landed on Dylan's head. Bending down to look him in the eyes, he said calmly, "Where do you go with them?"
