Destiny's Tears: Zykovian's Sidetrack

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, not much news. There was another murder last night in the Labourer's Ward, though. And, let's see. You've earned the lesser bounty on the Rosethornes themselves, although you apparently still have one of them on lease to continue working on the case to capture the leader, correct? We added to that based on the new funds--what did we quote to you earlier?"

 

[Keia]

"Nothing significant . . . ," Zykovian thought for several moments, "I believe it was 200 credits per thorne captured or killed anda great amount if the leader was actually captured as well."

He started rifling through the papers in his duffel bag looking for the original bounty references.

(OOC: Wasn't it 50 per? I don't have search again yet)

 

[Keia]

OOC: It very well might be . . . I'm searching through it now.

 

[Keia]

OOC: Found it . . . Bounty per Lena

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: I can't believe I remembered it right )

"So that's 100 for the Rowaini and the Feldori and 100 more for the two scoundrels you were able to finish. And another 50 later when you finish and hand over the Pleb to justice as well."

*Lena hands Zykovian 200 credits.*

 

[Keia]

OOC: I figured that the increase for Alire (for the attack on Molpe) was prorated to her cohorts which is where I got the guess of 200. 300 original bounty / 6 cohorts = 50 credits per cohort . . . increased bounty to 2000 for alire / 6 cohorts approximately 333 credits, which I guess conservatively at 200 credits.

"Very good, Lena, my thanks," Zykovian offered. As usual he looked over the bounties on the wall . . . if he noted the Praetorian one, Zykovian added a comment. "Yeah, the death in the Labourer's Ward, I just missed catching the culprit on that one . . . she used magic, likely Invisibility, definitely a Mage Hand and a Darkness. Can't believe she slipped by both Bajer (sp.) and myself together. Ah well."

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Ah, no. Originally there was 300 on Alire and 0 on cohorts. Then somebody mysterious put 2000 on Alire, and so they took the original 300 and split it to give 50 per cohort )

"That is unfortunate. All criminals, and especially murderers, should be brought to justice. Those who abuse the mystic art are even more intolerable, don't you agree?"

"Abusing the mystic arts . . . I would have to agree with that, Lena," Zykovian replied. He sat on the edge of her desk, more leaning aginst it than anything else, admiring the clerk's beauty and intelligence.

"How long have you been living here, my dear?" Zykovian asked.

OOC: How long has Zykovain known Lena?

 

[Rystil Arden]

"My, now that's a non-sequitur," Lena laughs slightly, a measured laugh, "I've been here fifteen years, though not as a clerk for all of them."

(OOC: Zykovian has seen her off and on in her capacity as a clerk since he started the bounty hunting biz)
