Kerlan

"Well, I believe we have pretty much agreed. We will accept your offer of 200 gp as well as the proposed commission." Kerlan moves over and places himself between Capizzio and Lord Kyle, then reaches out to shake Lord Kyle's hand. "May we move on to the details of the plan. Do you happen to have a layout of the keep?"

 

[renau1g]

"My preference is for the set fee, that way if we instead drive off the invaders, rather than kill them we will still be compensated for it. I also like knowing what I'll be earning, it makes me better able to plan future research efforts." Xavier interjects.

Lord Kyle

"Well, I believe we have pretty much agreed. We will accept your offer of 200 gp as well as the proposed commission." Kerlan moves over and places himself between Capizzio and Lord Kyle, then reaches out to shake Lord Kyle's hand. "May we move on to the details of the plan. Do you happen to have a layout of the keep?"

"I think you have misunderstood, sir. It is a choice between the fee of 200 gp OR the commission, not both."

OOC: Sheesh! do I need to draw you guys a picture?!! hehehe

Lord Kyle summons a servant, and the two of them have a brief, hushed conversation, after which the servant hurriedly departs. "I have sent my servant to see if he can locate the preliminary plans for the keep that we should have in the archives somewhere. As best I recall, the plans were ALMOST followed accurately when the keep was constructed, but you know how builders are......."

 

[Scott DeWar]

"by all that i have heard ,it sounds as if the 200 gp flat fee is the most ameable," he then looks to the party members and asks, " am i correct?", then to add he continues , " and a request for living/work space in the keep? and yours, Lord Kyle is that you give a commision of leutenant? am i correct in this that i have said?"

 

[Leif]

Lord Kyle

"Yes, you are correct. The space in the keep and the Commissions for each of you are both independent of any monetary reward for this mission. And am I to understand that you have all agreed to accept my original offer of 200 gp for the mission?"

OOC: I've slightly tweaked my prior ruling on Holding the Charge. See: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=4401000#post4401000

 

[Scott DeWar]

Capizzio bows to the lord and says, we may have need of a few more minutes together, m'lord. I humbly request that you grace us with murcy for we have not quite reached an agreement and pulled the bell a bit too soon."

(diplomacy check to keep Lord Kyle from getting impatient with us?)

 

[Leif]

Lord Kyle

"But, of course! I shall leave you to discuss the matter further." And Lord Kyle excuses himself from the room once again.

(Nope, no diplomacy check necessary. Your DM is in a pretty good mood today! hehe)

 

[Scott DeWar]

Capizzio bows low to the lord as he exits

I wasn't talking about the bounty per enemy!

"Yes, you are correct. The space in the keep and the Commissions for each of you are both independent of any monetary reward for this mission."

This is what I was talking about, the military commission!

Once Lord Kyle is out of the room:

"I also have no wish to become a soldier, so I would not wish a commission into Lord Kyle's army. My loyalties are to the school and to my peers, and I do not wish them divided further. The 200 Gold sounds good, though, as does the offer of workspace when we're up this way."
