[QUOTE="Wik, post: 3598265, member: 40177"] Cepheus quickly and quietly creeps up to Derris, being almost swallowed up by the shadows as he approaches (good roll!). As he gets within almost five feet of Derris, at the lip of the alley, he freezes for a moment, afraid he's been caught. But Derris continues whispering. At this clsoe, Cepheus can easily pick out the conversation. "It's just going to be a few more hours, and then you'll get the damned pearl!" Derris whines. The voice that replies is obviously not human, and spits out it's words in a harsh tongue. It's Goblin - it takes Cepheus a minute to realize this, as it's spoken in a different dialect of goblin than he's used to (which makes sense; each goblin tribe seems to have it's own dialect). [color=Green]"We've paid good money for your goods before. Do you think we know that you sell way above value? The master has had enough. You lost the pearl, and you've shown us the worth of the blacklilies."[/color] "It's just a temporary setback..." [color=Green]"Ha! If we get the pearl first, the master can give the gift to the chief... as well as the money we were going to give you! Your failure puts glory in the name of the Master!"[/color] "But what of the benefits of our trading relationship?" There is the sound of metal being drawn from scabbards. Cepheus cannot tell how many - perhaps two or three, no more than six. He hears the voice of the goblin speaker chuckle. [color=Green]"I think our little relationship is over, blackscarf."[/color] *** While this is going on, Solange ambles towards the scarf-seller. He seems to be selling multi-hued scarves of dubious quality. He doesn't even look up from his book as Solange closes. Before she is able to speak to him, though, she hears the sharp sound of blades being drawn. *** Actions? [/QUOTE]
