The Stuff of Dreams (Orsal Judging)

[Salix]

"Much oblidged."

Devlin looks around the room again before turning to Ryland. "You don't have any problem with us using their own tactics on Jobe and Kamdar, do you?"

"No Problem. If you think you can slip it by Kamdar. He's pretty sharp.", Ryland replies.

 

[Dungannon]

Devlin smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes. "Oh, I think I can pull it off. Now let's see about this Bellam Spont."

 

[Salix]

Devlin smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes. "Oh, I think I can pull it off. Now let's see about this Bellam Spont."

"Let's go then", Ryland says. Approaching the bartender he says, "Where are we likely to find Bellam?"

 

[El Jefe]

"Where are we likely to find Bellam?"

"Bellam? Oh he usually sits at that table over there", the bartender motioned.

Recalling that he said it would be an hour or two, Devlin and Ryland occupied "Bellam's" table. Several men came and went, but the crowd stayed sparse. Not long after things started to pick up a bit, a short man wearing a dark green cloak slunk into the establishment, made a beeline for the table Devlin and Ryland were sitting at, and stopped short.

"This is usually my table. Did you want to speak to me directly, or did you just prefer the arrangement of the stains in this part of the room?"

The man had a goatee and sparkling eyes under the hood of his cloak.

 

[Dungannon]

Devlin smiles at the man. "Please, have a seat Mr. Spont. We do indeed wish to have a word with you." Once the man has been seated, Devlin continues. "You have been recommended to us as a man who can provide certain items that might not be readily available in the general marketplace, is this true?"

 

[El Jefe]

"You have been recommended to us as a man who can provide certain items that might not be readily available in the general marketplace, is this true?"

"Welllll...", the man said slowly as he eased into a chair. "You might say I have a certain facility...well, I know people who know where things can be found...so, tell me, what are you looking for?"

 

[Dungannon]

Devlin continues to smile. "Care for something to drink first? I'd hate to occupy your time and deprive you of a libation."

 

[El Jefe]

"Care for something to drink first?"

"Don't mind if I do", Bellam replied, and snapped his fingers at a passing barmaid. "I'll have my usual", he ordered, "and he's buying", he said while pointing to Devlin.

 

[Salix]

Ryland smiles and points to Devlin, "I'll have Belleam's usual , and he's also buying." After the barmaid leaves, he says,"I think you'll find our proposal to be well within your abilities, it's really something simple and innocuous. But I was wondering if you've heard of anyone requesting something exotic like wyvern poisen lately". As he quietly says the last, he places a single cold coin on the table in front of him.

 

[El Jefe]

"I was wondering if you've heard of anyone requesting something exotic like wyvern poisen lately".

Bellam swept the coin off the table with a practised motion. "People ask for lots of things", he suggested, "But only the foolish, desperate, or powerful would ask for something like that. Which would you be seaching for?"
