He throws his sword to the ground, saying “I’m ‘my boss Hex’, you crazy dwarf.  We don’t want to fight!  Just calm down.”  The girl, through her nervousness at the situation, still laughs a little, saying “I called him a crazy dwarf too, Hex.”  He looks back at her angrily and says “Apparently he heard you coming through the grating too!  You screwed up, now shut it.”   She starts getting upset herself, “He didn’t even know about the grate till you came up, obviously with not enough men with you!  You’re the screw up!”He takes a second to compose himself, then Hex says “Speaking of more men, when I don’t come right back, this place is going to be swarming with them… and some of them don’t like my girlfriend, so it’s better we end this now.  This is all about that stupid old cow Brie?  I don’t know a thing about any girls going missing.  I just told her she better fork over a piece of the profits once I’ve got things set up here.  If she’s misplacing her merchandise, it’s got nothing to do with me.”  The three adventures try to gauge if he’s telling the truth, but it’s hard to judge.[Aligor rolls Animal Handling 2+2=4.  Aligor rolls Initimidate 20+6=26.  Everyone fails Sense Motive checks]Meanwhile, the ‘stupid old cow’ is startled by Lydia’s sudden appearance, but doesn’t yell out.  Brie says to her, “Slestials?  What the hell is a slestial?  All I know is you’re professionals, and if anyone’s due for a professional thrashing, it’s him.”  She pulls out a wand, and points it at Lydia “Now, I might go a little higher, say 3000 gold for his sudden demise.  OK, 3500, but that’s it.  Now get back in there, kill him, or delay him till your friends get back so they can kill him.  If you need it, this charm wand can help convince you.  Didn’t work on him, but you’re human enough.  I’d rather you keep your wits and not have to use this, but if it’s the only way to get you to do what you promised, so be it.  Now get back in there, and I’m going to hide out till this is over.”  She takes a step back, towards the room’s back exit, still pointing the wand, waiting to see, and judge, Lydia’s reaction to her ultimatum.</blockquote>
