Back at the bar:For Liu:[SBLOCK] You overhear, in response to Redblade calling Eldon little, Eldon reply "I told you nix on the term little. I've got some ladies with me. Let's not reinforce the size difficulties, okay?"[/SBLOCK]OK, back at Vestan's:"Good sir. I think that your offerings as reward for a job well done are most generous. However, I would like to discuss our starting funds. Considering what we may require to purchase to appropriately equip ourselves for this exploratory mission, perhaps 200 gold to each of us would server us all better. I would not wish (and I am sure you would agree) for anything that may be truly amiss in the Cogs to be left unattended should we meet it unprepared..."<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=71150" target="_blank">Diplomacy 15</a> He seems to mull your proposal over in his head. "You make a valid point, however who's to say you don't just run off with my gold, eh? Let's say 150 gp each, with an additional 550 gp each upon completion of the job."For Liu:[SBLOCK]You don't get the sense that he is particularly asking you to take on a task without being able to ask questions first, he seems like a generally impatient person. [/SBLOCK]"And what of the group that went before us? Word on the street is that you have already lost at least one other adventuring group in the Cogs."Vestan seems a bit shaken. "Other adventuring group? Why, your "word on the street" must be mistaken. I've never hired another adventuring team." Vestan's voice turns a bit belligerent. "Now, are you going to take the job, or not?"For Coal, Liu, and Wan-Tan:[SBLOCK]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=70978" target="_blank">Coal Sense Motive 25</a>, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=70977" target="_blank">Liu Sense Motive 21</a>, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=70976" target="_blank">Wan-Tan Sense Motive 16</a> Vestan is obviously lying about hiring another team.[/SBLOCK]For Kah:[SBLOCK]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=70975" target="_blank">Sense Motive 2 </a> You seem to believe everything Vestan is saying, and are having doubts as to what you may have overheard at the bar.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
