While Sylvia was disappointed that many of them weren't interested in joining, she did thank them politely for the advice and information they gave her. She mentally noted the dwarf prowling about on the roads. Why would he be hunting for the bandits? Curious. Then there was a lead to an immediate ally. At the mention of the thief, she couldn't help but wonder if the thief was Dirk. Did he strike this camp before going to steal from Cassari? Maybe he was stealing from both at the same time given his camp was near the path.

She answered the man, "I see...I'll try convincing the guards. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it," 

Once she had the information and said her good-bye to the warrior with the dog, she headed for the isolated area in order to see the kobold and see if she could befriend and free the little guy.
