Metropolis IC: Into the Darkness

[Leopold]

I'll wait with following him until I see more people doing that.

OOC: I don't recognize Leo's char, right?

OOC: No cause we are both under hats of disguise. It would be like identical twins getting face lifts and then meeting each other in the mall not knowing what the other looked like.


IC: At the sight of the halfling, he rises and moves toward him keeping to the shadows, blending in seemlessly with the other patrons, just a normal schmoe moving througout the teeming masses of people. He follows to where the halfling is calling him seeing others move toward the general area he keeps his hand steadfastly in his cloak near his sword ready to plunge it deep within anyone who tries to 'impose' upon him.

 

[Sulli]

seeing that he has finaly can i get up and start to walk towards the halfling keeping an eye on the rest of the bar to see who else was beconed to come.

 

[ivanhoe]

OC: sorry, i didnt realize the IC thread had started

IC: When the halfling alerts Rover of the invitation he just nods and bares his teeth sending the halfling running. He then gathers his gear and sets off to the inn. After ordering a drink and waiting a few minutes he sees the halfling beckon. He grabs his drink and follows him.

 

[Corlon]

and so it begins

ooDM: I think that's all of you. And seeing as how Rover has no intimidate ranks, I don't think he could send the halfling running . Because of that the halfling just smirks at you and walks away. This is a big description, just to speed things up so if you want to object or do something in between these parts, just say so. If there are some missing "r"s I'm sorry, but this laptop has a problem typing that letter.

IDM: The halfling leads you down a hallway, through some twisting passages, and leading downward. After mabye 10 minutes of walking, he stops before a door and knocks "knock...knock knock knock.. knock."

"Come in," says a voice, and the hafling opens the door. You come into a big room, about 30 feet by 30 feet. To the right and the left of the door, there are two unarmed muscular men standing with their arms folded, obviously guards of some sort. As you walk through the door, all of your magical items turn off for about 5 feet of space, and you true forms are revealed. In the middle of the room is a table with a man sitting at it, and he beckons you to sit down.

"Would you like any wine, or food perhaps?" the man asks, and pretty serving girls come out with food and wine. In the back of the room, a bard starts playing music. "But it looks like you want to get right to buisness."

"I've brought you here today because you guys are some of the best. As you can see you are a diverse group, a human, a minitaur, two slitherns, and a dover. The king has been pressuring me into doing this job for a while. His scholars are all worked up about the titanswar coming again or some crap like that, but all I know is that a scouting party has discovered some unusually high titanspawn activity going on a ways out of the city. Rumor has iot that these spawn are worshippers of Gaurak the Glutton, and are trying to collect all of his teeth and find him in order to bring him back to his former glory. Also, the king's entire harem , yes, his harem has been kidnapped. I don't know how in the nine hells an entire harem could be kidnapped, but it happened, and tracks were tracked down to the cave where these titanspawn are. Predictably, the only part of that tracking party that returned was the messanger sent back to reveal this information. We aren't quite sure what types of titanspawn are in there, but some of the common garuk ones will most likely be there. You know, Gauruk trolls, fatlings and such."

"Now, I'll give you 2000gp for equipment right up front, and 50% of the payment the king is giving me for this job, plus all the information and mapping we have, and second picks on the treasure. What do you say?"

 

[Timothy]

"My good man, this offer is an insult to my reputation, I can probarlt handle this job on my own, and get 100% of the payment and ALL the treasure. If I don't hear something good I'll walk!

 

[Corlon]

"Good... now that I know you can negotiate a deal, let's move on to the real deal. I'm afraid I can't give you everything seeing as I'm providing extra equipment and information of the job, location, etc. I'll giveyou 75%, and first picks on anything known to this guild, which is a lot. This means we get rare titan relics, if any, that are there."

 

[Timothy]

Ah, better, better.

This is my proposal: You do not run any risk, you'll get an agents fee of 10%. We\ll give you a list of all treasure found, pick 75% out of that, and leave the rest for you. I'm sure you'll sgree to this, after all, you're just in this to serve your king, aren't ya?

 

[Corlon]

"hahah, very funny, we both know this isn't about the king. You're price is still a bit high. 20% agents fee and first picks on unknown items."

ooDm: Tim seems to like haggling, but does anyone else want to chime in?

 

[Sulli]

"i don't care what we get for doing this quest for the king or you. if it helps me ride this world of those incolete humans then i don't care. also if it help better equipe me to rid them mabye ill hagle on this dame price."

 

[Timothy]

Hmm, I don't fully agree with that.
You can have your 20%, but you do not have first pick on the items, instead I give you the right to by up to 50% of the items for a price that is set by an independent broker.
That or take the 25% we leave for you.
