[QUOTE="Mithreander, post: 1144103, member: 13791"] Hitorum takes a deep breath and looks to the demi-humans and says "Yes, I consort with orcs, because the elved, dwarves, and halflings have all decided to turn tail and run... well the halflings anyway. The elves have just locked themselves in their forests and the dwarves in their mountains. Since the law was passed, I have not seen one gnome. And no, I will not pay you head tax, for such a payment could be tied to me. I do not have that kind of cash and would have to liquidate some of my holdings in order to pay it, and that may tie you with me. Could you boggle a lie detection spell were it directed at you when you made such a payment? COuld you turn eyes from me them? At least If you go now, the worst thing that may happen is that you run to the guard and tell them that the honorable Hitorum Felsworth is a traitor. I CAN avoid detection devices for lies if need be, but I wouldn't need to. There are so many rumors in this city that you would have to take your story pretty high up for it to be even concidered, and I doubt that any of you have the influence to even gain enterence into the palace, much less know who to talk to. No, your stories would be just the counter to the rumors that I'm the one filling the ear of the Emperor with poison. SO once more, I offer for you to go.
