House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen

[Serpenteye]

“I will need to know what my job will consist of before hand before I agree to anything…”

She looks at the bugbear levelly and speaks in a hard but pleasant voice.
Cheating, that's all you need to know for now, agree and I will tell you more. And I will pay you more than anyone else because I need you more. Now is the time to decide, I'm not waiting for you. Agree or not, leave or stay, but do it now or your chance will have passed.

ooc: She cannot tell him her plan before she has hired him because he would likely betray her to Laral, she has no idea he is a PC.

ooc: before Marcarius left
Krecil, cast Haste


ooc: How long time does Ki'Willis estimate it's going to take for Marc to get the mounts to the arena?

ooc: I request that the game remains round-based for now, even though Dariel is down. I will need to make my decisions with untmost precision.

 

[Endur]

OOC: Timing.

The game is roundbased right now. The conversation between Ki'Willis and Kilcif takes place before Endur KO'd Dariel.

I have not posted the initiatives, because I'm going to do that after Kilcif joins. And in the post for the initiatives the first thing that happens is some held actions are going to go off. Narcelia has a held action to blast Endur with Darkbolt if he defeats Dariel. The Mindflayers have held actions to mindblast the dwarves and duergar and the betting area.

How long time does Ki'Willis estimate it's going to take for Marc to get the mounts to the arena? If Marc teleports back with the mounts, Marc will be in the luxury box before you can get there. If he runs back with them, probably another round or two.

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif keeps his eyes locked on the matron, “Cheating for two to three weeks huh? I think that’s rather vague...” He scans the others in the box looking for any sign that the others are nervous and as his eyes stop upon Jena they seek to she if there is any sign of warning from her. Satisfied he continues, “But since time is of the essence...” He pauses slightly as he turns his red beady eyes back to the Matron, “If you can agree to my terms than I think we are set. 10 thousand gold pieces up front, 10 percent of all hard treasure looted, (OOC: gems, art objects, jewelry, coins, etc.) the right to loot bodies, my fair share of everything magical and replacement of all items lost outside of normal use. Lastly my right to renegotiate my price when there is more time and the details are known."

OOC: I think the price is pretty fair and I’m not asking for as much as he probably would with the situation, as it is with the sense of urgency, and I’ll pay you more than anyone else. If not well agree and we can debate in the off topic area and edit are post to mirror that decision.

[Serpenteye]

ooc: Fair enough

Agreed. But in exchange I expect complete loyalty and obedience from you. I will not give you suicidal orders and I will respect your right to your own property, but you will obey the commands I give you.

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif looks slightly insulted and taken back but nods his head while answering, “My loyalty always comes with the deal." He stops and thinks about jobs long past, "Well at least in till the end of the contract." He moves in closer to the group, ”So what’s this plan and what are my orders?”

 

[Serpenteye]

She smiles cooly, looking straight into his eyes with a measuring gaze, just a little bit amused by his apparent affront. Ahh, he's either honourable or a very good actor and he doesn't strike me as the acting type. I hope this was a wise investment, he better be very good to be worth this price.
Go with Torellan to the betting box, do nothing to attract suspicion just stand in line and wait. When Marcarius arrives in the box, having teleported there with the mounts, move to support him in securing the area. Concentrate your attacks on the Wizard but keep in mind that we will leave the arena via Shadow Walk as soon as the platinum chests have been secured and everyone is in the box. Allow nothing to distract you from our objective.

ooc: I'm a bit short on cash at the moment, could I pay you after we have got out with the chests?

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif nods his head understanding the orders and the situation, Oh well I knew my days where numbered here in Menthol Derith at least the profits from this encounter should make it worthwhile…

OOC: There is no honor and Kilcif only loyalty lies to greed, but voiding out contracts, failing, and/or not listening to orders is just bad business sense. Not doing the above would lead to less business and less coins. No coins would normally be an issue but with time being of the essence we will be forgiving. Though I would make it a habit of not telling him you didn’t have the money before hand. Endur, I'm curious to know how much that treasure box weigh? (with the coins)

 

[Serpenteye]

Go now Torellan, Kilcif, and stay to one of th edges of the box, so you won't be hit by the Mind Blast.

Jena, be prepared to get on the carpet with Narcelia and Quertus. Do you have any skills that could be of use to us now?

OOC: No coins would normally be an issue but with time being of the essence we will be forgiving. Though I would make it a habit of not telling him you didn’t have the money before hand.

Ooc: It's not like we couldn't pay him with what we have now. The other PCs have well over 10'000gps in cash, it's just such a hassle to ask around for it. (I think the chests weigh 400 pounds each.)
