Don't know what the slang 'term' means, but I ain't too stupid to figure it out.I try to sound reasonable, but not scared. Not like they could get whatever they want outta me. Hey, friends. We didn't know this was your wall and ain't got a lot of cash, but fair's fair. How much you chargin?I keep tryin to see them in the dark. ---RikoI keep myself behind Grandbanks. Smart of him to say we don't have much though. I'm certainly ready to pay these goons a couple bucks if they'll bugger off. I am concerned about one thing though, I whisper to Daniel and Grandbanks What do you suppose the sweepers are? I figure we should probably ask once we get up there either way.---DanielThese fools can't be that dangerous if they're stupid enough to just let us know they're here like that. Either that or they want to scare us. Well, probably best not to try to scare them, since they can see us and we can't see them.I whisper, F-ck if I know, but I ain't keen on finding out. I slip my right hand inside my coat to where my gun is resting. I glance at Grandbanks, who's looking a little jumpy, and I try to look relaxed. Probably just some fools like to scare people for money. I wait to see if anybody replies to Grandbank's try at talking to them.---You all strain your eyes looking for the owners of the three voices, but to know avail. Whoever they are they're well hidden. Grandbanks inquiries are met with silence, and you're all left on the landing for a few tense moments. Even in the lonely silence of the PIZ you hear nothing but your own shallow breathing. The ringing clatter of a metal on metal startles, all of you. A crude ladder of pipes and chains dangles from above a foot from the back edge of the landing you're on. The first voice calls out as the ladder rattles, If ya' want up start climbin, da rest teh way ya canna climb.The voice from above answers Grandbanks,We ave teh toll when we see what ya got. OOC:[sblock]Do any of you have a light? That would probably let you find the three tolltakers. On this side of the docks its almost as good as the middle of the night so climbing is going to be dangerous, a significant penalty will be assessed to any Climb checks unless you use a light of some sort. Oh and you all can take over things like Spot rolls now if you choose, just go to the Rogue's Gallery and allocate those Skill Pts. as you see fit and give me a copy of the breakdown. And then just roll on your own since you'll know you own mods. and such, otherwise I'll with the default breakdown that I've been using. [/sblock]</blockquote>
