Tharashk gets all these protection and service jobs that come up.  You'll get your money... plus some of the bounty from the pirates and what came from down below.  Once we get all account settled, the Watch will send over your share to the House offices."The Watchmaster lets the half-orc go on a bit in his self-depricating manner... as nothing he could say would change Skarg's beliefs, and nothing Skarg could say or do would change the minor prejudices that Silversun has towards him.  But as long as the Watchman did his job, the two could live in a tenuous peace.  "You know... if you'd just take your vacation time and head up to Newthrone for a week... you'd be able to find all manner of female companionship for a fair price.  House Phiarlan has any number of artisans to cater to your particular wants and needs."  He looks at his underling and slowly nods his head.  "I think that now that we've broken this pirate deal, the lizards will be less inclined to continue their raids against us.  So I'm quite serious about letting you take some vacation if you want.  You've earned it."Watchmaster Silversun finally looks over at the archivist, who has been quiet but overly concerned with what will happen with the tunnels down below.  "As for you, young lady... if you or some of your Flame leaders have an idea about what to do with what's underground, I'd be happy to hear it.  We're going to go ahead and blast the crevasse up here to seal off this particular entrance to the tunnel, but as you say... this place will probably draw others.  And they who want in will find a way.  This woman went to great lengths... hijacking a pirate crew, taking control of a lighthouse, bribing lizards to keep our focus elswhere, crashing three ships, killing countless people... all to just get into... whatever it is down there.  If she wasn't so sick in the head, I'd admire her planning skills and determination to see things through."  He shakes his head at the sheer size of the operation it took to get things this far.  "It's quite astonishing if you think about it, and from what that dwarf was telling us, it was pretty much all the Captain.  But that's neither here nor there.  Go home, get some rest, get a note to your father through the Sivis office, and then see me when you either know what you want to do about entering the Xothkazzik Ruins up north or destroying permanently what's down below."</blockquote>
