[QUOTE="biorph, post: 1533053, member: 10426"] [b]Travel Plans and Bait Shopping[/b] In the cartographer’s shop the party poured over the map. The fastest way was clearly by boat up to the Moonsea Ride, but they doubted that a single ship would be willing to go all the way there and take the detours Solafien’s contracts would require. “Still” finished Omar “There’s no harm in at least checking with some of the local shippers. Maybe we can gte a recommendation from someone in our ‘circle’ or friends.” “Yes” said Solafien with a sly grin “I think I might know someone who knows someone else” The next day Omar and Solafien sent word that they had found two prospects and would meet with them and let us know of the results tomorrow evening. “We’ve found a ship that will grant us passage for half a gold per day.” Began Omar. “And another who thinks it’s okay to try to gouge guild members” finished Solafien. “Say Khalil, would you be interested in making 50 gold?” “How” said Khalil “What do you want me to do? Is it illegal? Will it get someone hurt?” “Relax” said Solafien “All I want you to do is deliver this box to the big half orc guard guarding the address of a building I give you, and that’s it.” “Reeeeeeeeally” said Kahlil “What’sinthebox?What’sitworth?Isitworthmorethan50gold?Whendoesithavetobethere?Whydoyouwantmetodeliverit?Whatsinside?Whatdoesit-“ “KEM!” Solafien interrupted “Hey, you know any street urchins who’d be willing to deliver a package for me, NO QUESTIONS ASKED?” said Solafien looking meaningfully at Khalil “Sure,” said Kem, taking the box from Khalil “Come with me.” As they walked to a nearby alley he continued “That’s why my faction is used as messengers, Those like Khalil tend to be too inquisitive to let such things be delivered…intact.” Kem and Solafien stepped into an alleyway and Kem let out a series of loud sharp whistles. In a few seconds a six year old boy stepped out of the shadows. “Bait” said Kem “We have a package for you to deliver”. “The kid’s name is Bait?” asked Solafien “No, that’s his title, at his age we use him to distract the town guards while we get the real work done” said Kem. “Guard bait, trap bait, jail bait, prison bait, a while ago we just shortened the title to call all the new initiates Bait.” Solafien looked amused at the concept and said “Gee boy, you sure got a purty little mou-“ “LET’S save the mental scarring of the initiates to the professionsals shall we please” Kem interrupted, rolling his eyes as he spoke. “Oh learn to take a joke would you” said Solafien “Take this box to the address and give it to the biggest guard on duty.
