[QUOTE="Goken100, post: 5567478, member: 42968"] Qinik looks up sharply at the mention of Dragons, his cheer falling away as his face becomes intense as he regards Orwin sharply. His glare lasts for but a moment, as Qinik remembers himself, returning to his friendlier demeanor. [b]"First let me say that you are wise to come to the Silver Society for this. We have the capacity you seek, and are only too happy to aid in your noble effort. In this case, our interests parallel your own, so that we will not require monetary reward beyond spoils personally recovered. What we will require is a stake in what is recovered. We will promise to return the item to you as requested, but we must be consulted and be given a voice in determining its fate. And, most importantly, we must be given permission to study it and share in any knowledge gained from this endeavor. But as we are all working for the betterment of the people here, I'm sure that won't be any trouble at all."[/b] Qinik adds a beaming smile to this, couching the requirement so as not to seem confrontational in the least. [b]"Now as to your question... I imagine we are all familiar with the common tale: how the folk of Durul forged a deal with devils in exchange for the Dragon Plague. And that this resulted in the dragons being... "denied" did you say? I wonder if you'd speak of them so if you'd seen their generous rule first hand. In any case, did you have anything to add to the story? Some rare bit of lore not commonly known? By all means, do share, for it may be that knowledge will mean the difference between success and failure."[/b] [/QUOTE]
