Message: <blockquote data-quote="DralonXitz" data-source="post: 3523148" data-attributes="member: 20083">The Pugio smiles a bit, looking downward as he hears Jale's question, succeeded by Jale's similar inquiry.  With a look on his face as if the afformentioned questions were pre-inscribed into his expectation of remarks from the mercenaries, he gently looks up at the two men and answers."Ah, I truly do love assassins at times.  Your art is so complex, so dangerous, sanguine and precise, yet who retain the most base and primitive of desires, one which no matter the class and disposition of the killer, remains synonymous.  At the mere mention of any kind of physical activity, the autonomous reply is instantly, "Capital"."  Pulling a long dreamlilly-dusted cigarette, similar to the kind smoked by Avram in the former chamber, he lights it up with a spark from his fingers, and slowly dragging on it, exudes the perfumed intoxication into the faces of the killers.  Closing his eyes for a moment, he contemplates for a few silent seconds, before without visually addressing his subordinates, he replies, "For your efforts, should he be disposed of in said desire, I shall pay 5,000 gold pieces to each of you...", puffing on his cigarette again, he opens his eyes and glaring at Jale, he concludes, "higher a price than I have ever paid for a head."Turning to the disturbed Changeling, he slowly eyes Nix, his eyes yielding a sense of suspicion, intrigue, and a dash of fear within them, a pathology rarely showed by a man of Dormiano's stature.  A bit taken back by his prolific changing of disposition, he shakes it off and smiles at the killer's conclusion."My friend, you do indeed understand the operations of cosmopolitan Dwarves.  These men, while brilliant in the arts of financing, are truly primitive in their desires.  Gold and Wine are all that matter to a Kundarkan nobleman, and the combination of both create a truly potent concoction of seductive attraction.  Explot their base desires, and you shall exploit their souls."Finally turning to the shady Melchior, he is a bit amused at his question, and replies with the same cynical venom, "I do not suppose the fact that, beyond a minor adeptness for murder and violence, your lack of knowledge of anything whatsoever has stopped you in the past from accomplishing your tasks.  For the price I am paying, I am sure even a man such as yourself should be able to figure something out my friend."</blockquote>
