[QUOTE="Telsar, post: 1646387, member: 18837"] [OOC BTW, forgot to mention last time, the healing potion Alicia drank gave her back 9 HPs. Current total: 16/26] Madame Brie, a little miffed at how the conversation is turning, says to Gwyn, “If Alicia is getting greedy, I know exactly where she learned it. But she knows I won’t turn her out… I depend on her. There’s ‘dirty work’ to do every day. I’m just reminding [I]you[/I] who she works for. I don’t need to encourage her to break the deal. If I want to break it, I’ll do it myself.” She lightens her tone a bit, talking to everyone now, “But I’m not trying to cheat you… just seeing if you’re paying attention. If you were gullible enough to go for the lower offer, well, that’s just business. Never hurts to try. And I know who to come to next time I have, shall we say, specialized needs. So give me my gems, and I’ll go get your payment. I believe your leader,” she nods to Lydia, apparently referring to her, “negotiated it up to 3500, plus bringing the two girls back is 1200. 4700 gold total. For good will, we’ll make it an even 5000. It’s worth it to have that thing dead. Damn thing trashed my dining room and nearly killed me.” She turns to the half-ogre and says, “Alicia, I can spare a bit more, just for you. Another 500 pieces of shiny gold. But you have to promise not to let these people, or anyone else, put bad ideas in your head.” As she waits for the return of her gems, Gwyn hears something outside. A quick look out the door shows 5 more city guards, including the one that ran away before, rushing towards the building. [Gwyn rolled listen 16+5=21. No one else rolled well enough to hear anything] Upstairs, Accalon’s choice of words brings on more questions from the girls. “It was a creature? What kind of creature? Did it… oh my god, did it eat the girls it took? We thought it was just some sort of wizard! What did it to do to Missy and the others?” Loni realizes that Accalon isn’t getting the reaction he’d prefer, and gets a little upset, saying to them “Look, Accalon needs rest right now, he was just in a terrible battle, he doesn’t need you nagging at him, but he does need everyone up here knowing they’re OK now. If you want answers, go ask Brie.” The girls look a bit shocked, obviously not used to this attitude from Loni, but agree to go tell everyone. After they leave, Loni turns to Accalon, saying “That was terrible of me. I’m sorry. I just… just didn’t want them badgering you. This has been… kind of a rough morning for me.” She smiles softly, and then says, “But it’s been rougher for you. Is there anything I can do to help with the pain?” [/QUOTE]
