[QUOTE="Patlin, post: 3145631, member: 17264"] When Banion gets a chance to speak to Beamer privately, he says the following in Halfling. "We completed our job, we didn't get paid, and our employers are dead so we aren't [I]going[/I] to get paid. Nordal's pretty much the only guy in this town we know, and he's a crook... I feel no particular fondness for him. Let's find Draig and get the heck out of town. I'm as much in favor of toppling governments as the next guy, but avenging the fat and greedy merchants who originally hired us isn't much of a reason for the three of us to get killed. We were outnumbered four to one in that last fight, and once they get organized it'll probably get worse rather than better." "Idrag may have seized power, and he may or may not be worse than the people who had power before. Seizing power's an entirely different thing than keeping it, though. Even if we just pack up and leave, he may not be around in 6 months... and he and his oartner might kill each other a lot faster than that." "Unless.... this is pretty questionable morally, but given the state of things we might consider it anyway...." Banion pauses to think. "Do you want to head to our employers residence and collect our pay from his estate? If we head there fast, we might be able to get something before looters and rioters tear the place apart."
