Kelyn is just bending to pick up the barrel when Jory approaches.
"Kelyn, do you need a hand with that?"
Kelyn has the barrel half up as Jory reaches out, but then Nectan comes up behind him. One hand stretches out in a friendly way.
"Jory, I think you had better come with me."
"Wha -" Jory flinches, then collapses. Kelyn half-drops the barrel.
"Jory!"
Nectan lowers Jory to the ground and kneels beside him, accompanied by an Uplander Kelyn hasn't seen before, a scruffy little man who reminds her of a water rat.
"What happened?!" she demands.
Nectan looks up. "I am arresting Jory for possession of ragwort."
