[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 1702227, member: 463"] Hrothgar/Rajero/Alyx Rajero: "Pleased to meet you. Now what is the matter of this urgency Alyx?" Alyx: ""I was telling Hrothgar, I recently 'acquired' a map - a copy of an old treasure-map... It shows the old burial catacombs beneath this tavern. Ever heard of the Amulet of Althuvion? No? It's a Sidhe artifact - from Angarin, from before the Mongali massacred the elves. It's said to be very powerful - worth a fortune, and sacred to the Angarin Sidhe. And the map shows it's located in the catacombs right under our feet. But the map says it's protected - 'guards & wards' - I can deal with traps okay, but 'guards' in a catacomb likely means somethin' nasty, I'm thinkin' - so I reckoned a bit o' muscle to help me out wouldn't hurt... Which is where you two come in. "We get the Amulet, I can sell it for a good price, split the money... reckon you could both make two thousand gold off this, easy!" She grins. Faoil/Denther/Bernard Faoil: "I would rather have a known threat within my midst so I can be aware of its intentions. It would be much more preferable to an unseen knife in the back. But it is entirely up to you Wise One if they are invited to accompany us." Bernard nods. "I see you are both in agreement. Very well." Bernard stands, taking his staff from where it leans against the wall, and walks over to the table where Alyx, Hrothgar and Rajero are sitting, skirting a couple of drunken labourers on the way. Bernard nods gravely to Alyx. "Milady... I believe we have the same goal in mind. I suggest we join forces, to our mutual benefit." Alyx looks suspiciously up at Bernard, fingering her rapier hilt. "Oh yes? How would that work, then?" Bernard: "We seek the same object, do we not? It is a relic sacred to my Order. I can pay you three well, if you would assist in its recovery..." Alyx raises a sceptical eyebrow. "Oh yeah? How much?" Bernard: "Two hundred pieces of gold, to each of you... for a night's effort." Alyx snorts derisively. "That amulet's worth thousands and you know it, old man!" Bernard smiles sardonically. "True. You must, however weigh the relative likelihood of success, should you oppose me and my Order, against the reduced reward..." Alyx looks past Bernard, to Faoil and Denther. "Your _Order_? I don't see no _Children of Blood_ here, old man - just two sword-swingers off the streets..." She looks to Hrothgar and Rajero. "Well, boys? What do you say?" [/QUOTE]
