Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gregor" data-source="post: 5670708" data-attributes="member: 11751">********Druid's HomeHrimr, you spend a few minutes examining the tracks and are quite certain that there are about 30 or so different sets that travel in the direction of the druid's home - all small humanoid prints save for one very large set.  In the opposite direction, and slightly fresher are about 15 sets that head off back into the swamps.  You follow these quite easily on the beach until they lead up and over a crest and into the morass of ponds, mud, foliage and toppled trees that make up the swamp.  You can probably still follow the tracks, but given the change in terrain, you'll need to spend more time attempting to locate the new path.********Bronze TridentA grin curls up Reece's mouth and his eyes narrow.  "Right ... Romeo.  I don't think you're a very good liar, but I'll tell you what, I will let you keep that alias because you would be a fool if you gave me your real name anyway."  He folds his hands together and puts them on the table in front of him while he continues to speak. "You want to work in this town, then you start working with me.  You'll be giving me 100 pieces of gold, or a service in kind, if you even want this conversation to continue.  Plus, if you're working for the city or that dwarven turd of a Magistrate, Lorb Votberd, then I have a link back to you.  It would be very easy to hire a spell caster to do that for me, you know, what with thousands of them shivering in the refugee camps and looking for a bit of gold to change their fortunes."  He sits back and lets that sink in with a creepy grin.  Then he leans forward and speaks again. "Now, those two names you keep saying, I don't know them.  Got it?  Neither do you.  You keep saying them anywhere near this establishment and I'll have you chopped up into chum and given to the fisherman for use in hunting sharks in the Bay.  I hope we're crystal clear on this Romeo, because I hate turning people into chum.  Sure it was exciting the first ten or fifteen times, but after a while it really gets to you.  The smell mostly.  So, why don't you start with your payment for the privilege of having me even consider discussing my business with you, or you pack up and get out of here with lips so tight from even coming here that you're forced to drink ale from your ears."</blockquote>
