Darrow glanced at the door, smiled and waved a greeting. As Rahnee walked up to their table, Slipster managed an approximation of a bow and offered to fetch a chair for her, an offer which she sweetly accepted. The halfling, apparently not having expected her to take him up on it, muttered to himself as he lugged a chair as large as himself over. Rahnee thanked him and greeted everyone as she sat, apologizing for her lateness.After wiping his sweaty brow, Slipster got straight to the point, saying that her companions had been dancing around the problem, that apparently their bosses did not like his company’s bosses. Dermot rolled his eyes at the halfling’s description, but nonetheless nodded in agreement. Slipster’s eyes went to the door then back to Rahnee, who picked up on his meaning; she mentioned that the Scarlet’s fighter Juril was still standing outside when she entered the Empty Fish. The halfling explained that he had insisted on pulling door duty on a cold night.Rahnee unsuccessfully tried to prompt Aerikoth to speak, then decided to take the reins of the conversation. She artfully described her company’s surprise at their company being hired by their current employer – meaning House Cormaeril – alluding to the Cormaerils’ history and her previous impression that the Scarlet Company was more inclined to the side of rightness. The Scarlet’s cleric Firewine interjected that they had so far seen nothing evil about their employers. He admitted that some of the things they had done in Westgate had been irregular, as he put it, but not terribly malicious. The Scarlet’s ranger Elebril chimed in, saying that their employers did not seem to be terribly concerned about the welfare of others.Rahnee then bluntly offered up the information that there was a price on the Scarlet Company’s head – a fairly substantial one – to make sure that they left town, dead or alive. Firewine was aghast at this, while Slipster wondered how much was being offered and Elebril was sobered by the thought. Rahnee leaned back casually in her chair, watching their reactions, before making the point that House Cormaeril was not well-liked, so there would be many who would take some joy in spiking the House, as she put it. Darrow and Dermot took the opportunity to reinforce her points.Firewine quickly protested that they had not known of their employer's reputation before coming to Westgate. The Scarlet’s cleric explained that one of their representatives had found the company in Starmantle and made a business proposition. Rahnee with a friendly chuckle remarked that all too often in their line of work, they found out too late what the real story might be – especially in Westgate, added Darrow.</blockquote>
