Michael snorts.
"I've gotten wary of negotiations over the last year and a bit."
He presses the stone between his palms.
"People here don't understand the concept very well. My best advice for you would be to invest in some flowers: Pa seemed to find those helped him make up with Ma."
Michael cocks an eye around. "Do you have someone acting as a storekeeper while you're gone?"

"You may be right, Michael, but on our trip through the Astral and other planes we saw plenty that was once good but corrupted by evil. This could be more than just a lovers' quarrel."

Joe disappears into a back room and around a half hour later the door is thrown open. Through it stalks an elderly fellow familiar to some of the taverns denizens. He wears an ink stained robe and his hair is disheveld as if he has just awoken. He is accompanied by a heavy aroma of incense and cluthes a yew staff upon which he is leaning heavily. He is of course the Wizard
"Gentlemen I understand some of you have agreed to help a former colleague", somehow it is clear that this last word was selected over a less flattering term by a mere hairs breadth, "of mine escape a predicament of her own creation." He shakes his head and mutters, loudly, "Stupid girl, I always told her her libido would be the end of her, religion of love my rear."
He looks to the room again, and seems to remember himself,
"Where are my manners, tradition is tradtion, I am here at Joe's request to escort a party of would be heroes. Before you volunteer let me offer a word of advise about Balsra Darr, you will never find a more retched hive of scum and villainy, you must be cautious. Well? Come one come all. Who is going to extracate the poor Eleera from her latest folly?"
The Wizard begins to tap a slipper clad foor impatiently.
OOC: So who is actually onboard?

"Well, I'll be along for sure. No time like the present to visit a den of villainy, eh? If it is must worse than that demi-plane of fire with its 40' tall giants of flame, I'll be a pretty surprised."

"So will I, Master Rilithorne. Ashnar, arcanist from Otun, spellcrafter, and Knight of Monemvassia." Ashnar introduces herself. "We are not unexperienced with regards to dealing with scum and villainy, either, but we'll gladly hear any advice regarding Balsra Darr. We wouldn't like to go unprepared."

Michael looks unamused at the wizard's words.
He leans over quietly to Rinaldo.
"If you need more healing, I'll come along, but for all the stories I hear about you, you certainly don't need my hammer. And if your friend is coming along, he's likely a better cleric than I.
Otherwise, I believe in letting fools suffer from their folly: it's how they stop being fools."

"Rillithorn, please to meet you again. It's been since the Tournement I didn't had the chance to meet you. I'll be of the travel too." tells Rinaldo.
[SBLOCK=OOC]Just a note that Rinaldo had made business with Rillithorn for the games he has organized. He needed some rod of metamagic and have asked him to lend him some for a magical duel.[/SBLOCK]

The old Wizard squints at Rinaldo,
"Ah, yes, I believe I recall, business with the rod right? Yes, yes that was it. A pleasure to see you again, although I would be far more amicable if I had not been dragged from my bed, a mage keeps his own hours as dictated by his work not the whims of nature, but at times like these it can prove dashedly inconvenient." He stifles a yawn.
"Let me see Balsra Darr, well the last time I went, some five years ago the place was run by a hag named Durssla - though it tends to change hands on a semi-regular basis from what I have read. We had to best a Hydra and an Efreeti to get access to the main cavern, since they are not too keen to welcome those of surface races. Turned the Hydra into a duck, I've still got it somewhere, so they may have replaced it."
"Now the place itself, very interesting you could while away many an hour, you know they sell Lycanthropy there? Got a Wererat with a booth of all things, there are devils, drown, duregar, even batfolk. They've a casino, huge thing, opulent, and just about everything is for sale for the right price."
