I have a deal for you.
I'll award you with a magical item and reveal any information about this map …

He says and glances at your map.
If you help our community by destroying the something that killed our miners in the lower underground quarry, the reason I say something is because something black took residence in the lower mines, since then we cannot mine the area, 6 people of our community perished while trying to defeat the something, what say you ?
 

Eliyyad looks up in interest when the Laird mentions the creature which has invaded the mines.

"O high and mighty, tell us more of this creature. What have your people seen?
 

It came from the abyss !!
Shout one of the gnomes from the back.
Yeah, A demon!! No!! An aberration!! Yes!!, No !!
The Laird raise is hand to silence the stormy gnomes
The earth bleeds, black blood cover the lower mines
Say the wizard that stands beside the Laird.
It is some kind of sticky fluid, very dangerous.
And ..
Says the female cleric on the other side
Beware of his touch, I'm still taking care off a wounded survivor, acid burns cover his whole body.
 

Maor shifts uncomfortably. Delays on top of delays. Handling this menace is not our priority. He glares at Allyra. Payment indeed. Address the laird, he asks to consult with his peers. "These are dark times indeed. Allow us to talk over this for a moment, please?"

Gathering his allies to a huddle of sorts, he spews in irritation. "We can't afford to delay, nor spend our strength, on this folly. The gnomes will have to take care of themselves. More lives would be lost if the Evil One's servants aren't stopped than there are in ten such valleys, we can't risk it. I say we turn him down. We will have to do without his advice, if he sells it at such a price."
 

Allyra

“That does, indeed, sound terrible. However, we are in a great hurry, and surely you do not want to have the minions of the old one roam these mountains even longer, much less succeed in their vile task. We must stop them, before it is too late.”

“What would you say about this proposal, Laird Gwaylar. Surely, you realize, that we are honest in our ambition and our word. We can assure you, that once we have finished this task set before us, we will return here and pay the prize for your help, by defeating this terrible beast. But we need your help now, and we cannot risk the delay caused by such an undertaking. What do you say?”
 

The Laird

[sblock=Allyra's Diplomacy check]
Success
[/sblock]
Measuring your words and honesty, the Laird engage in a small silent talk with the wizard and the cleric, then with a smile he address.
The good shall prevail and the darkness should be vanquished, but everything has it time, I accept your offer, the mines will be closed and barred and we shall wait for your second arrival.
He raises his cup and salutes
You are people of word, that is why a priest of the shining diamond travels with ya and although he is not from our clan he is deeply respected.
He bows slightly towards Turo and continues.
Show me the map and consult my wisdom.
 


Laird Gwylar

Hmmmm, yyyyes, hmmm.
The laird thinks and nods as he takes the map and inspect it closely, pointing his chubby finger he says.
The blue wyrm guard the northern passage to the Perrenlands over here somewhere.
He points to #4 on the map, moving his finger to the right he taps several times on #5,
The man with no identity lives over there, some say he is a lunatic and mad but extremely wise.
Moving to #6 the gnome shrugs.
I have no idea what lies in this treacherous region.
he then looks to the middle region of the Yatils
Hmm, bah, do not go to that place
he says and points to #2 on the map.
wild humans live over here, crazy filthy humans.
Pointing slightly to the right at #3 he says in aversion tone.
Land of Giants.
 

Eliyyad strokes his chin and says, "Indeed, Gracious One, it is a dangerous world we live in. All the more reason for those good in heart to seek great deeds to do! We thank you for your wisdom."
