Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neurotic" data-source="post: 7299942" data-attributes="member: 24380">Marius face shows a trace of the smile at Arvanas revelation and Shayuris lecture."Thank you for your trust, Arvana. It may be difficult for your people to fight openly, but imagine what we could do together. You would have safe harbours. We would get way to bypass the blockade and attack from below. This is something that could benefit both of our people. But we need to focus on the snakes first. Thank you for the lessons, Shayuri." he attempts a formal bow while sittingYoung monks face darkens at the description of effective slavery. Use of people who lost everything to make their lives even worse for personal benefit."You have my abilities at your disposal for this cleaning business."Marius reacts to the tension in gnomes voice, slipping from his bench and blending into the flickers of the torches and moving bodies."What did the orc say to those two?" he thinks as he assesses potential conflict. How would the patrons react if orc causes trouble here? He motions to brother monks for peace, waiting to see how this plays out. He relaxes as the gnomes leave and returns to the table.MONKS TABLE"Dram seems like he prefers negotiation to violence. He also seems unnaturally patient, as if he has all the time of the world to wait until you die and then continue with his work. But I could not find anything directly offensive. But I was in the manor for several hours at most. As 'protected guest'. If I had time, I could probably find out more.""You did The Dragons proud with your actions. And there may be more work and fight in the future. This particular valley seems posed at the brink of war with fugitives and orcs and Marans...the tensions are high. Keep an eye on the developing criminal elements.""If you can point out what you need, I will see what I can find out. I'm not familiar with the place, I just arrived. Anything and everything you can say will help."Marius points out his lack of knowledge - being invisible is as much fitting in and looking familiar as it is remaining unseen. Going into spy mission without knowing what to expect is suicide."There is one more thing. It seems some entrepreneurs are using the desperation of the people to use them or even force them into cheap, degrading work or slavery. There may be some trouble soon. Would you help by covering the negotiations or retreat, if it comes to that, with your bows?" Marius hopes that offer to scout for them will mellow them to this suggestion. They are not the police, but law breaks in desperate situations and this definitely qualifies. Dragon scale monks would be better, but the people here will have to live with the unseen protector for the time being. Maybe Shayuri and Arvana can talk some sense into this... ... ... human.</blockquote>
