B6: The Veiled Society - IC

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"They do seem to be quite helpful at getting labor done, the slaves," Barek says geniallly to the hobgoblin. "I am ever so curious where one purchase such livestock.

"And I'm afraid there was some kind of nasty business, though I'm sure it wasn't trouble anyone would have gone looking for. You said you don't go into the other houses, but I'm afraid someone's done just that. Quite a bloody mess in the house closest to here. Blood and ... well, I wasn't rightly sure what else; some kind of brown liquid. Would you happen to know anything about it?"

The hobgoblin replies to Barek "If you want to buy slaves, make me an offer. You saw the three. They dumb, work hard.

Blood in house is very bad news. City watch will come look, will find tunnels. Time to forget mining here, get hell out. That's what I know."

"Barek," says Celythia, her voice low. "Ask them what they are mining here?"

"Barek," says Celythia, her voice low. "Ask them what they are mining here?"

Barek nods, "Seems best to abandon the mining, surely, though I don't think you ever told me what it is you're digging for?"

[sblock=OOC]I've been having a hell of a time getting on as consistently as I'd like, and I apologize for that. I know I'm bottlenecking things. Feel free to just assume Barek passes on anyone's questions if I don't reply in a timely matter going forward. And, again, sorry for the trouble it's causing.[/sblock]

"Eh? You don't know? Diamonds, o' course" the hobgoblin states. "Who 're you, anyway?"

 

[HolyMan]

"But our employer do be lie'n" Rezak interjects, "dar be none dame-ins 'ere." He says in disgust and a wave of his had indicating the tunnels.

"Less'n ye founded tim." he says with the tone of a question in his voice.

[sblock=OOC] Not sure if the hobgoblins were employed, but Rezak is pretty smart his thinking is that these hobgoblins aren't acting on thier own. Try and help keeping them thinking we are on their side, Aid Another Diplomacy = 13

The hobgoblin sneers. "What do you know, hume? Who you work for - the veiled men?

Kobolds found some ... 'course they could of lied. But why? They spent more time here than we did."

 

[HolyMan]

Shocked Rezak tries recovering quickly. "Mens in masks, yeahs I's be a mark ta dim. An a I didn't tink dae wuild be likin' ta way ye say humie." Rezak sneers back.

"Eh? You don't know? Diamonds, o' course" the hobgoblin states. "Who 're you, anyway?"

Barek nods knowingly. "Some days I think I'd forget my feet if they weren't so solidly joined to my ankles. And I'm your good friend, of course. Who else would I be?"

Shocked Rezak tries recovering quickly. "Mens in masks, yeahs I's be a mark ta dim. An a I didn't tink dae wuild be likin' ta way ye say humie." Rezak sneers back.

Barek turns and raises an eyebrow to his companion as it appears he's treading dangerously close to threatening the charmed hobgoblin. "Though I'm sure sometimes folks deserve such treatment," he says supportively to the kobold.

((OOC: anything else?))

The hobgoblin declares to Rezak "Yer momma liked it fine, hume. Just cause we did some business with your bosses don't mean nothing.

Hey, was it you that spilt the blood upstairs? Didn't tell yer friends about that, did ya?"
