Then, he quietly gets up and shuts the door you all came through and the door that Dassar had left through to get your drinks. He calls you all closer to him, and announces the following in a hushed whisper."OK, yes, I did hire a party of adventurers into the cogs, but on a somewhat unrelated job opportunity. When originally looking for a place to begin excavation, I hired adventurers that were members of the Deathsgate Guild. I paid a team of five heroes to go into some of the... shall we say... "less secure" areas of the Cogs. Unfortunately, they failed to return. When I approached the Deathsgate Guild for a possible replacement party, they denied me!" The last sentence was a bit louder than a whisper. Vestan looks nervously around, then continues. "I cannot believe that they blacklisted me. Me! The reknowned Vestan ir'Simul! Do you know what this will do to my reputation? I would like to just forget this whole unpleasantness. And as such, I am forced to look for other brave adventurers to take my mission of mercy.""I apologize, I meant no harm in trying to hide my prior associations with the adventurers, and I would be more than happy to give you any information you might need. In fact, in lieu of this... greivous error on my part, I shall increase by offer: 200 gp each with an additional 500 gp each upon your return."At this point, you all hear a knock on the door. Vestan calls out "Enter!" Dassar enters with a tray of 4 glasses of wine, two cans of oil, and two bowls of milk. "I took the liberty of fetching some drink for your... er, compatiots." Dassar says, eyeing the cat and the riding dog. He places the bowls of milk on the floor, and proceeds to serve the refreshments to the rest of the party. When he approaches Fixer, he says "my apologies, good sir, I am not sure what... your type drinks."As Dassar is handing out drinks, Vestan continues, obviously embarassed by being caught in his lie. "So, are there any other questions I can help you with?"</blockquote>
