Malvoisin's Savage Tide, Act 1 - There Is No Honor

[Legildur]

Bael scratches his chin in thought. "He should come with us, but maybe not go first. Somewhere in the middle?" he suggests.

 

[Malvoisin]

Shefton looks uncomfortable at the suggestion that he should accompany the party down the shaft. "Hey there, mates, hold on a second now. I want no part of Vanthus finding out it was me who sold him out to you. Even if he's not down there right this minute, I'm sure there's somebody around who'll know where he is. I'll just wait up here, thanks. If you think you won't be long, I'll even wait around to give you a lift back to Shadowshore."

 

[stonegod]

The Old Man narrows his eyes. "If you no be goin' down, you will no be wait'n fer us either. We take you back first, then return yer boat when we be done. No way we goin' to be stranded on this here island."

 

[Legildur]

"Like the old man says," Bael says.

 

[Malvoisin]

Shefton considers. "Err, no mates, I can't just let you take my boat, that was never part of the bargain we struck. I'll sell it to you, though, if you don't trust me so. Ferry me back to Shadowshore, and keep the boat for 20 gold. More than fair, hmm?"

(Sense Motive Check)
Bael does not detect anything false within Shefton. (Can't blame the guy for not wanting to just hand over his boat to a group of strangers who have been very suspicious of him, can you?)

 

[Malvoisin]

Shefton adds, "If you don't want to buy the boat, I'll wait up here for you as long as you want for only 10 gold."

 

[Legildur]

Bael shrugs his shoulders. "I couldn't be bothered," the elven warmage says dismissively. "If you'll wait, that's good enough for me. It's a long swim otherwise."

 

[Rhun]

Anar finds himself nodding at Bael's words. "I agree with Bael. Shefton has proven himself to be as good as his word. A little trust on our part would not be amiss." Then he smiles widely as he continues. "Plus, if he betrays us, we'll give him to Chongo to play with."
