The Navigator steps forward. “Pardon me a moment, Grandmaster Torch. You were willing to provide information worth six thousand gold to you, in exchange for but three of those chests. Now, my faithful compatriots here have gone so far as to open a fourth for you out of the goodness of their hearts, but did not crack the last. I’m afraid I’m not quite so generous. I do have the key to the fifth and final chest and I am absolutely willing to provide you with it for the price of fifteen hundred gold." He smiles for a moment. "And if there is anything further you know that might help us out as a reward for that fourth chest, it would also be appreciated.”

Charity, Human Female
Her green eyes lock on Gavin as he re-opens another session of negotiations. Her body language reads a certain degree of impatience and discomfort, but Charity bites her lip and allows her compatriot to make his case before speaking.

The Grandmaster leans back in his bath, closing his eyes for a long moment and apparently lost in thought. Just as the silence begins to grow very uncomfortable and Gavin is wondering whether or not he's really offended the man, Torch sits back up and opens his eyes. "Impudent whelp," he says with a slight smile that actually does take the sting from his words, "technically, I offered the information for the opening of at least three of the chests, and you would not have had access to them at all were it not for the purpose of fulfilling that original bargain. However, I appreciate brazenness, and I'm always on the lookout for people to gather information for me. I'll pay you and your friends one thousand pieces of gold to split amongst you, and I'll know your name should I ever have work that requires your skills."

"Could you make it 1002 gold pieces? Easier to split..." Robert asks

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

"Nine hundred ninety nine it is!" he says with a gruesome smile.

 

[Lindeloef]

"But that is not an even number."

 

[Piston Honda]

“Nine hundred and ninety-nine is a most acceptable offer, Grandmaster Torch. Let us go Robert, before your negotiation skills wind us up in debt.”

Charity, Human Female
Red hair flowing as she nods, Charity adds, "I agree. The agreement is acceptable, although I had preferred to get back on track with Nessian with due haste. Let's finish this secondary agreement with Grandmaster Torch so we can proceed." She gives a nod of respect to Torch before heading back to where the chests are located.
