[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3432379, member: 35788"] The priest turns and checks out Varius and Eion. [Color=Lime]"No sign of the Fever in either of you. But you, sir,"[/Color] he nods to Eion, [Color=Lime]"are already showing signs of the infection."[/Color] The inspector turns to Varius. [Color=Lime]"Ah, yes. Always a sword for hire who is willing to lay his life on the line for the proper sum of money. Of course, we in the city guard also are smart enough to realize that mercenaries always follow the biggest purse strings. It is only a matter of time before mercenaries find someone with a bigger purse string and betray the original agreement. I'd rather trust my city guards to maintain a quarantine."[/Color] He looks out of the corner of his eye to Eion. [Color=Lime]"Besides, your friend here isn't leaving the city without special dispensation until a cure can be found or we are all dead. Given that he apparently has only three days to live, I would suspect that finding a cure might be his own motivation. If he takes the stance that he is only working if a proper sum of money is offered, he'll find himself sitting in Theropa hoping to the gods that other people are successful in finding the cure - if there is even one that can be found."[/Color] The inspector nods to one of his guards. [Color=Lime]"That reminds me. Sound the alarm to shut up the gates and lock down the sewers. If we all have to die, that's one thing. But I'll not have this spread throughout Barghost on my watch."[/Color] [/QUOTE]
