Delmar leans in and whispers, "I have some minor skill in negotiation, but I feel I would be much better assisting one of you. My concern similarly is that the most skilled diplomat go forward. A man of such means may be hard to convince of our worth and easy to offend.
I feel he has left us room here to ask for a sizable per diem at the very least, and possibly a few thousand more for a recovery of the rugs.
He does seem taken with you, mistress Lilliana. Perhaps that could be our advantage?"
Delmar turns his head and raises the glass of rosewater to Phinea and smiles/grunts.
(OOC: assuming it's a diplomacy roll we use, my aid another check is +4)

Leaning into the huddle "Well, I would bet he is selling each of those carpets for at 12,000 or higher. Plus he stands to make a profit in the future. I think we should charge 11,000 plus 1,000 for expenses and the like. Further, I think we should press for 3% of gross sales to all buyers in the "new" area to be sent into an orphanage fund that is adminstered by some one we pick. Also, remember that he will counter bid lower if we are going to haggle." Phelen says all that in one quick breath finishing up with a wink towards Thane. "Oh, and I um can strike at individual minds and I am okay with a sling. I doubt it will bring down anything other than a rabbit though."

Speaking quietly to the group, "Just to let you all know, I am accomplished with both sword and magic, especially with magic, but only the kind that goes boom."
"It looks like we are in agreement that we shall ask for more from this pompous ass, and from the looks of things", a slight shudder coming over my body, "that I am the one best suited to do the negotiating." Now all I have to do is not throw up all over him or use my scimitar to gut him.
Leaving the group and sauntering my way over to Polixarchus my fingertip gently cascading down his chest, "I am sure your information is genuine Master, but we will have to do some investigating ourselves as well to make sure that the information you bought is on the level. So we will need an extra 5000 GP now in order to do said investigating and then another 5000 gp on delivery. We will need the extra gold to be discreet as I am sure you would not want your rivals to hear about your loss and go searching for your rugs themselves would you? When we retrieve the rugs I will personally return them to you myself so you can check to make sure they are too your liking."
Walking around behind him, my lips whispering into his ear, "Think of all that you will gain if we return your rugs to you and also think about what will happen to you if you do not have said rugs for delivery. I am sure you would not want to miss out on the opportunity to make yourself even richer and more powerful now would you? We will all happily lend our service to you if you can just agree to our small request."
"So Master....Do we have a deal?" Oh god do I need to go dunk myself in the river to clean myself.
Bluff (1d20+3=12) (oh god this is going to backfire, this Bluff roll was to bluff my way into him thinking that I am actually interested in him physically to help my diplomacy roll)
Diplomacy (1d20+3=14) (forgot to add +2 synergy bonus from Belok so this total would be 16, sorry about that)
(ooc, I sure hope this works.

Aid Another=14 (d20+4).
(OOC: I wanted to wait until we decided on a negotiator before I rolled an aid check. We still haven't heard from Sher. Similarly anyone could add an aid check here and there isn't any reason why they shouldn't.)

Polixarchus looks quickly at Phinea who seems to be scratching his nose with two fingers. Then he looks back at Lilliana and murmurs "Perhaps you and I can work out some kind of ... special deal.."
Phinea buries his head in his hands. "SIR!"
Polixarchus straightens up. "10,000 did you say?"
Phinea gasps "Oh Magnificent One!, surely 8,000 will be sufficient!"
Polixarchus tries to take Lilliana's hands in a somewhat oily fashion. "10,000 it is then. And you should know that there could be certain.. benefits, miss...?"
Phinea rolls his eyes and holds out the scroll. "Lilliana."
"yess.. Miss Lilliana." Polixarchus chuckles.

Turning aand taking the scroll from Phinea, with a playful wink, "You have yourself a deal Master Polixarchus and we can talk about that special deal after we are done with this job. So what information have you uncovered about the missing Rugs and the missing mage?" Quickly removing my hands from his with a slight shudder.

Thane arches his eyebrow, but says nothing.
Upon Liliana's return to the group he says: "...well now that's settled. Do you suppose that we should go somewhere outside and follow up on leads?"

"It is not the approach I would have taken" Sher grins at Liliana upon her return "but you read our employers nature well enough it seems."
As yet Sher does not appear to be armed although the gleam in his cat-green eyes as he answers "I have some skill as a hunter" suggest that he may have something hidden "and as a tactician".
"It would seem we are combat ready" Sher continues "but the skills we need at first are those of investigation and seeking a hidden trail. That may not be so simple"

"I think we should start by having a look at the information given. Then I might have an idea or two about where to seek other information..."
OOC: Using Knowledge Local what sort of places do mages or mage groupies if there are such hang out in Windfall--guilds, taverns, bars, clubs etc?
Belok rolls 1d20+6, getting [1,6] = (7)
Knowledge Local Check
Knowledge Local Check (1d20+6=7)
Oops--or maybe not.
