DT's Old School Campaign- (Chapter 4: The Guild and The Girl)

"Welcome Erin. You seem to have fortuitous timing, running into Ed like that. Any reason those saliors didn't care for your presence?" asks Rovan over his drink.

Quinn raises his mug to the toast "aye maties, to friendships old and new it tis!" he then takes a drink, but not a long pull like ed.. He doesn't say much else, just listes to 'Captain' Roven
 

Seeing Quinn take a swing Lola takes a drink too. She enjoyed the feeling of freedom and being able to do whatever she wanted now.

"To friends old and new!"
 

The man frowned at the mention of Melissa's name. "She... she did not make it. This city can be unforgiving at times." The pause was awkward, causing the Wilder's glee to diminish, but as he was accepted Erin grinned widely again, obviously happy with the attention. "I never got a chance to finish giving my pitch to the sailors over there, but I've been looking for some rough and experienced band that may be interested in a little work." His voice grew lower as he said, "You see I've found out about a shipment of gems being transported in the city. I'd like to get my hands on a share, but I'm going to need help to rob the wagon carrying them. I'm not sure about getting you involved, Edvan, you being an old friend and all..."
 

Edvan becomes solemn when Erin mentions his sister. "This city has taken family from both of us then." He squeezes Erin's shoulder in a show of sympathy.

This job..." Edvan shakes his head. "I don'ts know, Erin. Sounds risky. And how many you approach about it?" He shakes his head again. "Just takes one o' those sailors to remembers the weasly little fellow down at the 'Trident and go to the guard. And it don't look like you made many friends over there..." He looks at the rest of his friends judging their reactions.
 

Erin nodded in understanding. "Well, that in a way is just our luck. Those men were the first I tried to approach, but they were angry at my interruption. You're the first I've presented this to. As for how I know about this, well... I overheard the discussion from the merchant whose shop the gems were going to be sent from. The wagon is going to have two drivers and four guards and will be leaving at midnight tomorrow."
 

"Aye, captain that be soundin liks work that tis needin to be quick on ye feet, and i am none to quick on me foot.", says Quinn. Strangely enough he seems to not have noticed the 'ethical' element of the work.
 

"How much are we talking about Erin?" asks Rovan "I can't see such a small force guarding anything significant, or are they relying on secrecy?"
 

"Spot on you are, friend of my friend. You see, they dropped the gems off to get appraised under the guise of dropping of instruments and groceries. Then they plan to pick them up using the same guise, hence the wagon. Stealth can be more effective than brute force."
 

Edvan sighs. "I gots to honest here, Erin. I don't like it." He takes a small drink from his ale. "But I'm willing to listens to what my friends gots to say about it." He looks at Hilmdyn, Lola, Rovan, and Quinn. "Well, friends? What you thinks?"
