[QUOTE="Lazlow, post: 2646277, member: 24242"] The seasoned adventurer listened to the rat-faced man's entire proposition without interruption, eyes closed and fingers laced behind his head. When the man finished, Dongle stayed in this position for a considerable amount of time afterwards. When he finally spoke, it was quick and to the point. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"My fee is twenty-five hundred gold, up front, and the same amount again upon completion - I'm sure you appreciate that," [/COLOR] (at this he opened his eyes and glanced, smiling, at the gentleman). [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"If you find my price to be a bit steep for your tastes, I would remind you of the number of men you've wasted on the effort so far, and, from the sound of your... Dilemma, it seems at least an equal number would be wasted again without my services. "Now: I will need each and every map you have of the area, the ENTIRE area, mind you, plus any documentation on the history of the keep, and any writing you may have found in the keep during your time there so far. Please, try to be as thorough as possible in this area: What your untrained eye may percieve as a simple scrap of paper may offer an invaluable clue at some point. "That is all that I require. As soon as you can deliver the maps and history - and my fee, of course - then I can prepare for the delve, the length of which will depend solely upon the amount of documentation you can muster. "One last question, and I will leave you to consider my offer: Exactly which keep are we talking about?"[/color] At this Dongle finally took his hands from behind his head, placing them comfortably in his lap, and looked his guest in the eye, waiting for an answer. Presently, something seemed to prompt a response in him and he stated, matter-of-factly, [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Oh, um... I [i]would[/i] ask your name, but frankly... I don't care."[/COLOR] He smiled sincerely and awaited a reply. [/QUOTE]
