"So, you do not know who the man is, what his strenghts or weaknesses are, where he can be found or if he has any help - or, for that matter, that this woman is still with him. To be honest, it seems your investigation is merely started.An adventurers reputation is his bread and butter. I just don't want mine to indicate I'm the one who always get shafted in the end. If there's truly just this man anda  couple fo his lackeys to take down, the deal sounds fair. However, if this turns out to be a longer endeavour, we'll likely be wanting a share equal to the work we put in. If that's fine with you, we're happy to work with you. Deal?"OOC: Workers of the world, unite! For metagaming reasons, I'm a bit unwilling to accept a pay of 1000gp when the others will be gaining 9500gp each...Assuming the others approve, Ogrin asks to hear the whole story, and interjects with some questions here and there. When he has heard all of it, he sits down with an ale and ponders for a minute before speaking up again."Aye then, let's see. It seems whoever has had anything to gain from this can be found among these four: Carsis aka Cedric, Thomas VanLandingham, Victor Regenstein, or Vander Denari. The first one you've put out of your minds, so I'll trust your judgement on that. These other three, what do you know about any of them? Is our man to be found in the family or emply of one of them, perhaps? Does anyone of them have a townhouse nearby?"The Inn where the ransom is to take place - have you investigated it? We could ask the prince to send a man with the note there, and take turns watching the place, I guess. Oh and these Mountain and Tiny - they're some kind of gladiators I gather. Whoever wrote that is obviously in touch with local happenings. Perhaps he's even part of the action."We have a lock of hair. Perhaps we can use that to ask a cleric to scry on her and glean something of her location - or at least see if she's unharmed. Though our mark seems skilled in deception and perhaps has cast spells to misdirect such an attempt. If so, that would suggest he has a wicked wizard on retainer, or that he is one himself." Ogrin will also describe the man in detail, in particular noting the scar over his face, and any other details he might have noticed about him - such as if his clothes looked worn or new, cheap or expensive etc. The kind of things a professional thief would look for <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />OOC: Sorry for the monster post <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /> I'm back from travelling, now I only have a two-oxen cartload of work to take care of. Posting should be less sporadic, at least.</blockquote>
