And of course I am willing to pay to accomplish our ends." She is not going to haggle with a dwarf.  Miss Imogen notes Chrysagon's care, and she reprehends herself for feeling surprised. "You did a good thing there," she says when he rejoins them. It is a compliment, and a statement that requires no answer. Miss Imogen is not so optimistic that the children will see any of the rewards of their payment, that they have elders who will take anything they gain whether they are connected to a guild or not. The importance for the party supercedes that care. "Hmm," she agrees noncommittally. She buys an apple from a fruit vendor to make change for herself, and then gathers some children round her. She takes a bite, and is surprised at the pungent taste -- a local fruit she's not tried before, and not an apple at all. She laughs at herself, and realizes that she'll have to get used to the fruit in these climes."Do you see that entranceway down there? I'll give you two coppers each to go and see what you can. There's a silver piece for the one of you who tells me the most detail, another silver for the one who tells me how many people are armed, and two silver if anyone can bring me back a key from one of their pockets."With that, she lets the children go. Some will be content with the initial payment, she knows, but she hopes several of them will be lured by the promise of greater rewards.Miss Imogen will watch from a distance, leaning on a market post and eating her fruit. Her intention is to gather what information she can, and pay promptly. These kids are professionals, and she might want to use them again. Even if the pack descends on the guards below, it should be a nuisance and nothing more. She wants their silence.[OOC]1 cp for the fruit.4 sp for prizes2 cp x up to 19 kids = 38 cp. (it's okay if there's not that many, but she'll pay for up to that)2 sp for a second key, if it appears -- still less than a gold piece total. (the 1 cp left over is for the tip given at the inn; 2 gp (1 gp for the room) have been deducted from character sheet). GM: do you want to track precise coins carried? I can do so if you prefer that, or else assume that change can be made.[/ooc]</blockquote>
