The Stuff of Dreams (Orsal Judging)

[Salix]

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?"

"I'm guessing the desparate.", Ryland replies, thinking of how much everyone involved covets the orb, but eventually settling on the image of Brigit in his mind's eye.

 

[El Jefe]

"I'm guessing the desparate."

Bellam tilted his head back, his sharp chin jutting out. "That may be, but there's been nobody desperate enough to come asking around for Wyvern poison in quite some time."

Bellam tilted his head back, his sharp chin jutting out. "That may be, but there's been nobody desperate enough to come asking around for Wyvern poison in quite some time."

"Anyone fitting the other two descriptions?", the gnome asks.

 

[El Jefe]

"Anyone fitting the other two descriptions?"

Bellam's nose wrinkled. "No, none of those, either."

Devlin continues to smile. "Well, we aren't in the market for anything as nasty as that anyway. Just...professional curiosity." After briefly flashing his smile even wider, Devlin turns serious, lowering his voice a notch to avoid being overheard.

"What we are interested in is a poison that renders the victim unconscious with no lasting ill effects. In our line of work we sometimes find we must subdue a large individual quickly and quietly."

 

[El Jefe]

"What we are interested in is a poison that renders the victim unconscious with no lasting ill effects."

Bellam seemed to take the odd and probably illegal request in stride. "So, are you looking for something that someone would swallow, or something that you could poke someone with?"

Bellam seemed to take the odd and probably illegal request in stride. "So, are you looking for something that someone would swallow, or something that you could poke someone with?"

Devlin's smile starts to return. "We like to keep our options open, ingested would probably be a little better but I could see us having need of the injected kind as well."

 

[El Jefe]

"We like to keep our options open, ingested would probably be a little better but I could see us having need of the injected kind as well."

Bellam leaned back and stroked his chin, looking around to see if anyone was watching. "Well, I can get you something swallowed right away for 90 Crowns. The other stuff, I know a guy coming from Rivenblight tomorrow with some that I expect he'll let go for 75-80 Crowns. That's a dose. How many doses of each do you want?"

 

[Dungannon]

Devlin appears deep in thought. "I think two doses of each would work, for say 325 crowns total? What time tomorrow would you be able to make delivery?"

 

[El Jefe]

"I think two doses of each would work, for say 325 crowns total? What time tomorrow would you be able to make delivery?"

Bellam had a vacant look as he did the sums in his head. "I'd need 330 for that much, not a penny less. But I could be here same time tomorrow, with the goods."
