The small leads you into the tent. At Kemal's question he merely shrugs. "I cannot say good sir, but I do believe my master has not chosen many men yet."
The tent is quite large and a table stands at the far end. Two Lanterns provide light that stand to either side. The bodyguard you know as Lok stands at the right side while the merchant known as Acktet sits behind the table writing something on a piece of parchment.
He looks up at you and smiles: "Ah a group, good good. We prefer men who know each other. If you would be so kind as to state your names." After he has taken down the names that you supply him (OOC: Let me know if you giva an Alias.) he stands up and inspects you. After sitting down at the edge of the table he points out Erik's Greatsword: "I see most of you carry weapons, good good. You seem to be in fine condition. Though my brother and I and our trusted servant Lok choose the men to join us ourselves, sometimes other men we have already hired are not pleased with our decisions. Have you heard of the Iron Fang? If a man has doubts about another man's abilities he may challenge him either in a bare fisted brawl or with wooden weapons. Last man standing is taken along. Nothing lethal of course. I am quite convinced that you are qualified, but our large friend... he reaches for the piece of parchment on the desk and reads a name from it Grom and his friends. Seems to think otherwise. He wishes to challenge you he motions towards Erik to a bare knuckle fight this evening. Should you win then you will join us. All four of you. But if you should lose or decline then I am afraid we will have to give "Grom's" group the position. As a group of 4 people or less is hired or declined as one." He looks at you expectantly, his arms crossed.
[sblock=OOC]Though this does seem to be unorthodox, it makes sense as the merchants will probably make a small fortune on the betting that goes on during these fights.[/sblock]
