As he opens the box, Tetsu is overwhelmed by the odor of spices and halls into a sneezing, coughing fit for a few minutes.

He also identifes 28 other common herbs, you can pick which ones you want but 3 are beyond his ability. While inspectiong the spices, he notices that the silver handle raisies and there is perhaps yet anohter layer underneath.

Looking down, Tetsu finds a proveriable black cat, intertwinng around his legs. The impression of a fish being placed on the floor keeps popping in and out of Tetus's mind.

Diplomacy (1d20+8=16)

"I propose a new order, one where people can turn a profit and feel safe. Even now I'm working to rid you of the old order. What you have to decide is wether you want to risk anarchy and go it on your own or if you would be better off banding together with me."

Angelo - The conservation

Angelo thinks that they are very very interested in what is going on and would bet that should the Baker agree, then most of the others will to.

Looking at Angelo Kawyn says "Your an unknown devil to us, whereas Roderick is a known devil?" pausing he continues he says "So what is it your offering here?"

Tetsu

Well, first things first -- he'll look around for a fish to feed to the cat. If he finds one, Tetsu will fillet it and place it on a saucer.

Then, he'll look under the first layer of spices in the box.

Tetsu - Cooking

When Tetsu begins looking around for a fish, he does indeed find one layingnext to the two fat hens. However he could have sworn that it was not there a few minutes ago. As he places the fillet fish upon the saucer, the cat hops up onto the work table as if to say "Feed me here" and awaits for the saucer to be put down.

Turning his attention back to the spice box, Tetsu removes the upper tray and finds that there is indeed a bttm layer. Closet to the latch is a compartment some 3 inches in width 8 inches long and i inch deep in which there are a mortar and pestle made from some clear rock, a set of silver measuring spoons and a small silver knife and two tiny scoops. The back of the bttom layer is configured with tiny boxes like the upper one but there are only 16 of them. Each of the 16 sections are filled with additionaly exotic spices.

Care to make some more Knowledge cooking rolls.

"A fair question. I offer to set Roderick and his gang packing. I offer to see that the vacuum left by their departure is filled with more community spirited men. People who want to see the neighborhood revived and protected from outsiders. Good men such as Thaddeus here and strong men like Crusher and his boys. People you can rely on to keep the streets safe for business to prosper. I offer the experience in this kind of work, the personal power to back it up, and an intelligence not shared by the current faction. I'm not greedy. Protection will cost half the old rate and be real protection. Citizens who pay their dues will be free from crime and intimidation. Now to make that happen some trouble makers and ner do wells are going to have to be tossed out on their rears. A few may not survive the experience. All I ask in return is that you stay out of the way and don't assist Roderick or any other claimants until order is restored. Then pay your much more reasonable dues and collect newfound profits. I challenge you to find a better deal anywhere."

Angelo - A deal

Taking a long sip of his wine, Kaywn pauses as if lost in thought. Then with a slow deleberiate reach he streches forth his hand and says "Done. Have Thaddeus mark my name and come see me at the first of the month."....He then gets up from the table and collects his brother and moves towards the door. At his agreement the others also nod their head and same "Same here" or "Done here", nod to Thaddeus and move towards the door or return to the bar where they were drinking.

Turning to Thaddeous Angelo says with a grin, "Damn, either you did a great job of buttering them up, or I was way to easy on them. What do you think?"

Angelo - A Deal

Thaddeus returns Angelo's grin and says "I am as suprised as you (you got a 30 on the reaction roll). They must all be tired of Roderick ways and his taxes. Now we need to recruit some more muscle and establish our prescence on the street by tomorrow afternoon." Reaching into his vest, he pulls out a small purse. thank clinks with the sound of two or three coins. "My life''s savings" he grins, "While you go deal with Roderick, I will attempt to hire us some short term muscle" Pausing he looks at Angelo, "You do realize that you just gave them roughly three weeks of no taxes, Roderick collected weekly not monthly"


Before angelo can reply, he notices Crusher and his men coming up from the cellar, carrying a large tightly wrapped bundle. The Bonebreakers leave the tavern by the back door while Crusher, takes a seat at the table. "What next"

Angelo Human Mage

"Thank you Crusher, nice job. Next on my agenda is Roderick and his warchest. I have reason to believe I know roughly where he and it can be found. Courtesy of you and Cork we know most of his men are away. I will add 10% of whatever we recover to your pay if you wish to join me at bearding the dragon in his lair."
