Pimpernel, owner of this fine bridge.  Unfortunately, It has had to undergo some recient repairs, and I need help paying back the craftsmen.  For a mear 5 gold per person, I will let you pass on my fine bridge.  For your carts, I require a bit more, say, 20 gold.  I'll even be nice and not charge you for your horses.  So, by my count that brings your total to...hmmm... say 105 gold.  You know, I'm feeling generous today, how 'bout we make it 100?"He smiles expectantly at Troi and Sunny.Lasair & Fang:[sblock]You think you see some rustling of bushes towards the sides of the caravan[/sblock]</blockquote>
