While Bronan recovers from his Wounds Monsieur Jacque Frog accompanies Water Witch Masika to find possessions lost during kidnapping.

Passing his Revelation test, Jacqu realizes that Rattler is not enemy of Croc tribe.
Hmmm.
Masika  encounters friendly Vendor
"What are you all still doing here?  Keep your voices down I don't want people to know I'm still associating with you."
Monsieur Frog: "Who wouldn't want to associate with the Great Croc Leader!"
Market Square all looks at new Croc Leader

Off with their heads!
Slapping books and clothing on the table Vendor disappears under tables as he scuttles away

Spending every last Intrepid Die Jacque parkour bursts past them before the Sun Bull can catch them in a pincer attack

Bronan's drunken slumber is interrupted by bloodshed outside
Not understanding the situation Bronan dumps chamber pot on all below
Jacque misleads Bronan into thinking Sun Bull have declared Prohibition
Drunken Bronan leaps out of 3 story building once more
This time crunching a pair of tribals underneath
