The Hunt for the Blue Palace (Yoon Suin/Troika!)

[wingilbear]

Ten rupees and you can buy my cut, this golem has caused me nothing but trouble.

 

[wingilbear]

An extra 5 will buy you a vision from the seer.

Ten rupees and you can buy my cut, this golem has caused me nothing but trouble.

OOC: To whom is Frog Froth offering this?

 

[wingilbear]

Ooc more of a general statement but aimed at the person offering to get us a boat.

 

[Ancalagon]

"deal!" The Lamarakhi elder walked to the edge of the bridge and, in a voice that carried - started furiously haggling with the boatsmen. You had no idea what was said, but with less than 2 minutes some sort of deal was struck. The boat started approaching the base of the bridge, and the old Lamarakhi ordered - first in Lamarakhi, then in the Trade Tongue, for the golem to be allowed to slowly go forward.

The metal being kept walking forward and went over the edge. This was a tricky moment, as it jerked the crowd forward and there was oil on the ground, but they managed to recover. The golem was carefully lowered onto the boat. As soon as it landed, it seemed to recognize, somehow, that it was on a boat and stood still.

Baga Vo addressed Frog Froth. "A bold offer! I have one too, perhaps not so bold, but hear me out. For a 10% cut, I will take care of paying off these laborers and urchins and will escort the golem - and the Lamarakhi because they will want to come along - to the house of Wind. Let us hope it's where it's going! I will then negotiate a finder fee for you, pay off the Lamarakhi and deposit the funds for you at your House. What was your name again, and from what house? I live in the Mercury Tower in the Old Quarters. Is this agreeable?"

 

[wingilbear]

A moment to discuss with my compatriots, friend... out of earshot hopefully seems too good to be true. I just wish to wash my hands of the matter and keep moving to find the blue castle. someone has a friend they could list as the drop off or I could say the house of the sacred bull perhaps?

 

[Ancalagon]

OOC: The Shrine of the Bull of Battle is your temple (and you would trust them to deal with such a matter fairly well), your House is the House of Leaves.

 

[wingilbear]

My house doesn’t like me and so would probably be unwilling to protect me if this guy finds out I have been lying about all the monies. If we give a fake name we are protected but would get no reward if it is true and vice versa for our true names and residences. Personally I am leaning towards giving them the name dar mang, and tell them to inquire at the temple of the sacred bull.

 

[Ancalagon]

OOC: Other institutions the group has access to:

Dubi Gan: your best bet is where your father and uncle work, the Fellowship of the Hidden Road, an exploration society - your uncle, Pala Gan, has quite a fair bit of pull there.

Pinpehlu: Your Union would gladly hold on to money for you, although there will probably be a processing fee, got to pay your dues!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Dubi Gan said to the Baga Vo, "The House of Wind made this offer long ago, and may be reluctant, or even unable to pay, due to their current standing. I trust you will negotiate hard with them on our behalf. I am Dubi Gan, and you may drop our share with my uncle Pala Gan, at the Fellowship of the Hidden Road. You will, of course, deduct your expenses as expected, but I mean to see a profit. This business has taken too much of our time today. Do we have a deal?"
