[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 3919136, member: 21064"] Thyrin looks mortified when Keldar mentions the crushed halfling. [color=purple]"You- I-,"[/color] he stutters, but then Tarag cuts in. [color=purple]"Ah. Ah! Aha! Right, a joke."[/color] He cocks an eyebrow. [color=purple]"Very good. Glad it was a joke, I'd hate to be responsible for anyone's death. Well, anyone besides those two. They deserved their fate, blasted thieves. But the notes! You're right, you came for the notes! Please, follow me downstairs."[/color] He walks down the stairs to the library desk. After stacking up some papers on the desk, he adds the stack to a brown leather bound binder wrapped with a mithral ribbon, crammed with pages of all sizes and parchment types. [color=purple]"These are them! Some notes on my discussions with various elementals, and my comments on the experiments we've been conducting." "And truly, don't worry about any messes you've made. I value my life more than my cleanliness. And besides, I have spells to take care of that. Now then, I'm sure Rilithorne didn't suggest that you might have to bail me out of my own tower defenses, so there's the matter of compensating you for your time, effort, and considerable risk. If it hadn't been for you all, Antonidas only knows how long... Well, you have my most sincere gratitude. As you can see, I am a bit of a wizard, and am capable of crafting many wondrous things! Tarag, good dwarf, I am quite busy with my experiments these days, but perhaps someday in the future, when I have more free time, I will reconsider your offer of partnership." "For now, my brave adventurers, I hope you will each accept my offer of magical craftings of your choice, each of a value less than 3000 crowns. I can forge and enchant arms and armor on my second floor, and I can craft various magical items of wondrous nature. I also have gems, but I'm afraid I can't afford more than half my crafting value in gems, so 7,500 gold's worth to divide amongst the lot of you would have to suffice.

"I believe Rilithorne will have pay for you as well, upon receiving the notes.
