[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6973684, member: 413"] Shuushar thinks a bit. [B]"I don't know their exact prices. Probably depends on how far you want to go. Probably around a hundred gold coins or so. I'm sure it's negotiable."[/B] Then Derendil speaks up [B]"History is full of tales of kings dealing with armed bands in their realms by offering them safe passage out to avoid them causing trouble or in exchange for services."[/B] The then goes on to relate to you the story of an ancient Emperor named Lexiuz who put out a call for allies to come aid him in reconquering lands lost to invaders. Every time an ally arrived to his city he would immediately extract a pledge of allegiance from them and then sail them and their army across a narrow straight to where they could not harm his lands by foraging and pillaging. But when the mightiest ally arrived, he refused to bend his knee and instead began ravaging the lands until Lexiuz not only agreed not to force the pledge but offered him riches and titles...Eventually you get the point of his rambling and grow bored... Orsik reminds you [B]"Perhaps this high priest Shuushar mentioned could help with...you know...the gnomes and their (whispering) [I]condition.[/I]"[/B] [/QUOTE]
