Message: <blockquote data-quote="Systole" data-source="post: 6168292" data-attributes="member: 93930">Varga looks you up and down with something like disapproval -- or perhaps resentment.  "So, you're the church-boy that Fortino foisted off on us?  Fine, but let's get a few things straight.  I'm here for two things: to protect Signor Franco's investment, and to make sure none of these idiots I've got working for me gets killed.  I'll follow your lead as long as you don't piss the boss's money away and you don't do anything that would endanger my people." Her hand tightens on the wicked-looking gaff-hook that she carries.  "Losing money will just get you sent home.  If you go riling up the locals or anything similarly stupid, it's going to go less well.""Ooh, she's a fiery one.  I like her," Uder says with a leer.Varga glances at him and then back at you.  "Tell your pet monkey that if he speaks to me again, it's going to cost him his other eye.  And if he doesn't get the point after that, I'm going to start charging him testicles."  The threat seems to delight the mercenary more than scare him, but he decides to keep his mouth shut."As far as the location goes, I know it's not ideal.  You have to understand, these lands are almost completely uncharted, and Boraga and Forenicci are both breathing down our necks.  There's a river mouth not far away, which gives us a fresh water supply, so we called it good and set up camp here.  I'd like to move to a better location, at the moment we don't even know if there is a better location.  We'll have to start exploring and surveying the surrounding area first, but until you got here we didn't have the manpower or the expertise."She pauses.  "There's one of those frogmen -- grippli, I think they're called -- that was hanging around the camp a week back.  He wouldn't talk to us or come near us, but he didn't seem hostile.  He might know the lay of the land.  We've also seen a few of the local tribesmen around.  Bunch of feral elves, believe it or not, and they stink to high heaven.  You could also go looking for one of them to help you explore, but they generally stick to the highlands."<img src="http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/pnthffr/Varga_150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <img src="http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/pnthffr/uder_150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />. . .
