Balama looks at Theon levelly, her flirtatious manner dropped, "Theon, don't be so ingenuous; why would I have asked for you, if the work had not been dangerous? Half-truths, indeed! What need would there be if all it would take to claim the gem would be to walk into Rana Mor and ask nicely? Of...

Balama says smoothly, "Well, well. Hard-nosed indeed. Let us say that I still pay you 200 each up-front, 200 more on my safe return, and then another 400 each if I return with the Rain Tiger. 4000 altogether." She draws closer to Esteban, "As to the... spoils... well, I will allow you...

OOC: OK, Will do. Esteban - you have a Diplomacy check of +11 in actuality (+2 synergy from Bluff, +2 Born Duelist, +2 Cha, 5 ranks) Anemone's Diplomacy check (1d20+5=9) Other people can try their own checks instead if they wish, rather than aiding Anemone, but I'll require some rp to go with...

"Does he now?" Balama says with a chuckle to Anemone, "Well with one such as yourself aboard, Reverend Sister, then he should have a fine ship indeed! So, a thousand apiece?" She cocks an eyebrow at Esteban with a sly smile. OOC: Shayuri, please make a Diplomacy check for Anemone; if someone...

Balama turns to Esteban with a smirk and says in Ispan "Resistance? From the natives, or from you, sir?" She regards the whole group again and says in the common speech, "Well, 'tis only fair I let you know a little more of our journey before you accept. The Rangka kings were buried at Rana...

Zariv casts his mind back to his days in the foreign quarter of Imarr, where even those who have lived for several generations in the great city live if they are not of the Imarran race or one of their indentured slaves. In all the musty tomes and scribbled notes he has perused he can only...

Yup, fine here.

"A'wight, looks like we need some o' that ol' white magic..." Rikki wipes his nose on his sleeve, cracks his knuckles and mutters an incantation over Egil. OOC: Cure Light Wounds. Cure Light Wounds (1d8+1=5)

Balama does her best to appear polite, but after a while says, "Come, come. I can see by your furtive postures that you wish to bargain somewhat. So, out with it!"

Balama nods to Anemone, "To the point, I see. I like that; well, here is my offer. I'm willing to pay an advance of a thousand gold, plus another thousand upon my safe return to Coral Bay, with an additional bonus of one thousand if I recover the Rain Tiger. My 'prize' as you put it." she...

The woman grins and ruffles Theon's hair, "So formal now, little Theo, but still with that same smarm, young man," she chuckles, and turns to the rest of you, "Yes, I am Balama Theron, master of this ship," she says with a smile, "Welcome aboard the Blue Heron. Let's talk business." With that...

Sicratos nods first at Theon's measure response, and turns surprised to find Artemis already in the longboat. He watches with an air of quiet resignation as the group discusses what to do and then board the longboat. Two sailors row you out to the waiting sloop. As you get closer to the Blue...

"Egil? Wot, this feller yer mean?" asks Rikki as he goes over to the priest. The sometime thief checks over the young man to see if there has been any serious harm. OOC: Performing healing check.

A gull flaps down with a loud cry of "Brawk!". It lands on the pierside and looks at your group with an interested air, and then flies off again in disgust at the lack of viands on offer. Lady Theron's crewman coughs politely in the awkward silence after Anemone's energetic speech. "If I may...

OOC: You can always take 10 on Knowledge checks in non-stressful situations so I'll treat it as a result of 18. Zariv knows that Balama Theron and the Blue Star Company are well known in the area. Lady Theron's company is a minor trading coster specializing in small high-value cargoes such as...

Rob decides to take the plunge, "Well, I was just wondering if you'd heard anymore about the Speleologists' Club expedition at all? I know some of the other guys where really keen to go, so I thought I'd ask if we had the go-ahead yet?" He tries (and fails) to keep an excited tone from his voice.

A note on skill checks; inspired by a commentary in the Rules Compendium (I love this book!), your PCs can be considered to be taking 10 in any non-stressful situation. Thus, with Knowledge checks, passive Listen and Spot etc, you can always just add 10 instead of rolling. Speeds things up a bit!

Multi-lassing? I'm not sure what my girlfriend would think of that! ;)

Sorry Shayuri, I should have posted that here first of all. Just in case.... Party Background Artemis and Anemone have served together on various ships and have made a career for themselves as mercenary help, and along with the Belcadiz blademaster Esteban have formed a tightknit team...
