" I will make this very simple for you, Dean Grey, " growls the tiefling. " I am going to give you one of the enchanted blades we liberated from the leader of the thieves. Then, I am going to go find some accomodations in these damnable towers where I can avoid meeting with those idiots who professed to be my comrades while insulting me in a way that precipitated my being unable to travel with them any longer. After they get here and give you the papers, you are going to give them their share of the payment, and the sword. Then, after they are left, you are going to send for me and award me my share of the payment. Then, our business will be over, except that in conversation and correspondance, you will not speak ill of me as an employee, so as to damage my reputation. In fact, you will say quite the opposite. Should you refuse my terms, I will leave your office with both blades, which I assure you are worth far more than our agreed upon fee. That would be bad for the people you consider to have served you well, while it would be an acceptable outcome for myself. "
