[QUOTE="thegreyman, post: 4154779, member: 30303"] [COLOR=Blue]"A good set of clothes may not be amiss for at least one of you. Having one of be the 'face' of the group to do the actual bidding would most likely help." "I will be giving you a letter of surety. Umraecyl has dealt with these before, as a large sum of gold is hard to transport. It will be written out to the amount of one hundred thousand gold nobles. You can bid all of it if needed, but I would appreciate it if you didn't bid it all away. That gold took some time to acquire..."[/COLOR] He laughs lightly at that. [COLOR=Blue]"The travel should take about six or seven days to reach the mountains and the needed tunnel. It should be a further two days through the underworld to reach the Bazaar. From tomorrow, the auction is nineteen days away. Therefore, you should have ten days to spare." "The longest and easiest travel will be through the plains leading up the mountains. Travel through the mountains and caves should take about the same time, and are of equal dangers. I do not know [i]specifically[/i] what you may run into, but bandits and wild creatures always haunt those areas. I haven't heard of any unusual dangers recently in your path."[/COLOR] Zel hesitates for a few seconds when the mention of less honest procurement is brought up. He takes the time to play with his signet ring as he thinks. [COLOR=Blue]"Obviously, I would hope to just obtain the object through bidding, but if we cannot gain it that way, I would leave it up to your judgment. We [i]cannot[/i] let it fall into enemy hands, but allied or neutral hands may be acceptable. Is the Urn worth provoking another nation or group? It may be, but that new enemy may tip the balance against us as well. As you will be our representative there, you will have to decide at that time what will be in our best interests."[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
