Party of five. Day 1.

[Argent Silvermage]

Morphain

Morphain shifts into the form of a goblin and says, honestly. Uri, that was uncalled for. He wanders up to the merchants and looks at what is available.

Day 2, 15:30

When the party approach the merchants, a male goblin who appears to be better dressed than the rest steps forward. In a whiny voice he announces, “I am Skakan, head merchant to the most glorious Rat's Market!”.

Being an astute merchant he immediately points to his wares and starts describing some of today’s bargains to Morphain. (He liked his goblin apperance )

"I've got a rare stick of sealing wax, only partially used, for a mere sixty coppers," the goblin merchant says. "Or maybe you could use this fine woolen blanket with just a hint of mildew? Only thirty-nine coppers. How about a skewer of boiled rat meat? For you, just five silver. Or, perhaps, if I could point out the way to a certain valve cluster, what would it be worth to fine explorers such as yourselves? One hundred silver?"

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

Upon hearing this Adal turns toward the goblin, looking over Morphain's shoulder. He whispers to Morphain, "This one can help us. There is a path we can follow that will lead to this one helping us. He likes you. Take the lead."

 

[Ringmereth]

"How did he know what we seek?" asks Aronsetash quietly. "Be wary of that goblin; by taking his assistance we may well be stepping into the grave..."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Morphain

Morphain blushes a bit greener than the form he's in right now. "I'm not so sure if We'de be that interested. I mean were looking for something a lot more interesting that what your normal adventurers are looking for." ooc: Trying to use my bluff skil to haggle down the price of the information. Goblins love to haggle.

 

[mariusm]

Sorry for delay.

OCC: Sorry for the delay in replies, real life has a way of slowing things down. My daughter is in hospital so I will post asap...

Marius.

 

[mariusm]

Skakan is impressed.

Skakan is so impressed by Morphain's negotiation skills (20 vs DC 16) that he reduced the price to help the party by 40sp, so the price is only 60sp now.

OCC: The party has a money pool of 108gp at present.

Skakan looks over at Aronsetash and answers his suspicions by saying, "We only get your kind down here when there is adventure to be found, and the best place to find that is past the E-213 valve cluster!"

Skakan puts out his hand towards Morphain as if to gesture that the price has been made and he would like to be holding some silver!

Aronsetash notices (Spot 14 + 2 VS DC 12) that one of the shifters in
the crowd is paying a lot of attention to the heroes. The shifter is across the large chamber, and as Aronsetash notices him, he immediately fades into the crowd and disappears.

What would the party like to do?

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

Adal turns to Morphain and says "Perhaps we should pay this one to lead us along our path. I believe he will not betray us if the group of us take him alone. We must be wary of ambush, however."

 

[Ringmereth]

"Yes, we should be wary. A shifter was watching us just now, over there-" the monk gestures, but is frustrated to see that the figure has dissappeared. "He's gone. This task we have agreed to is becoming more and more suspicious. I suppose we should finish it as soon as we can, if we're still going to."

 

[Morpheus]

Uri shoves his way through the throng to where the monk pointed to see if he can find any clue about the where the observer went.
