Thoth proceeded with a plan to seduce the dragon mother with potent love poetry and an astounding amount of beer.Disguised, Arcata sits in her booth [sblock]Arcata can hear a little but not see what is going on. "You acquired both the amulet and the staff? Are they here with you?""Yeah, I found your buddy with the claw ink. Your ward worked and he's added to my axe list now. Hur hur. We burned his villa after grabbing the amulet and staff. I've got your amulet here. The staff is safe under lock, key and heavy guard until we settle up though. My mama said, don't put all your knives in one cave. Hur hur. So we'll finish this up first."There is a pause."Very well. Here are the promised gems for the amulet."Another pause interrupted with a little screeching from the monkey."Word from your Bindi blade is you want Lucius' head. I know Lucius, he's a good friend of mine. Like my mama said, friends are good, but gold is great. He came to me couple days ago while I was waiting for you to show up on your own devil blasted sweet time. He said 'Capt. Scarbelly sir, I believe you know me, mind if I buy you a drink and we talk about old times?' so we jawed for a night about the raid on Uraq and other good bits we'd gone through, like the ruins exploration where he picked up them books of his. Funny kid, it was as if he didn't remember sailing with my crew for his year of observations and those freaky experiments of his that he paid so much for. That your work? He cross one of your wards peering into your doings and you blast his brains out? In any case I know Looky Lucius well. Well enough that it'll cost you.""What are you talking about? Who is this Lucius?""Don't try to fool me wizard. Its too late to play innocent you black hearted snake. I own this town. Anything I want here is mine. I can squeeze information out of any low life you can think to buy. Lucius. The Librarian. I know from your island blade you wanted him knifed for good. Like I said, gold is thicker than blood, so if you offer enough we gots no problems. But I don't like being lied to.[/sblock]Anton [sblock]You see the two lean forward and talk in low tones. The monkey drops down out of sight. The two figures exchange something, the hulking figure passing a satchel over while Kenzil passes over a pouch. They examine their things and the hulking figure starts talking again. The monkey shows up again and you think it is holding somethin, a coin or bead perhaps. Kenzil opens the satchel and examines its contents but then looks annoyed and says something to the figure, things get a little tenser.[/sblock]Dogrynn [sblock]You see the two lean forward and talk in low tones. They exchange something, the hulking figure of the orc passing a satchel over while the man in the broad hat passes over a pouch. They examine their things and the hulking figure starts talking again. The man in the hat opens the satchel and examines its contents but then looks annoyed and says something to the figure, things get a little tenser. The orc moves himself a little closer to his axe.[/sblock]A man from one of the booths gets up and stumbles over towards the latrine.Wilbur [sblock] The man stumbles in "By the pit I feel awful. Gah![/sblock]</blockquote>
