"We would like to employ your services. How good are you at kobold hunting?"

"Us? Kill kobolds? That's like using a cannon to kill flies. But yeah, we can do it."

Grozny comes running up behind Keenan, and stops just a short way behind him. "Sorry I'm late. the wizards were late." Turning the mercenary. "Good day sir. I hear your rate is 100gp per day. Is this negotiable in any way?"

"To be honest, the mages probably will not kill us.... Um... So what was he trying to do in there, and who's lab time was he using?"

"Good day sir. I hear your rate is 100gp per day. Is this negotiable in any way?"

"No. And we want to be paid in advance."

Keenan bows down to Grozny. "Do you have enough money? I could, but then I'd be nearly broke..."

"I have some money in my trunk, you can use that but I'm spending a whole lot this month. After you guys settle this, make sure Spark is well, I'm going back to the guild to account for what I did."

Keenan hands the mercenary contact the 100gp.
"Now that's settled. Can me go to your ship now to wait for kobold slaughtering?"

he mutters "for some decent work" under his breath.

Yes of course, follow me. *he leads you to a row boat*

Who is on the boat?

--

Straha, ok, you arrive at the guild, now what?

Grozny follows Keenan, eager to examine the mercenary ship.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-15 01:08pm

I'll be on the boat.

I go forth to the Guy incharge and say, "I'm sorry, I didn't report the Brown Gas eating through the tiles, I was worried about the safety of the sentient who had been in the room. It's my fault, and I will recompense for all damages done."

The boat sails out to the ship. It's not heavly armed, but looks very fast.

Straha:
Wizard: Very well, comepletly understandable, if you would simply pay for the damages, no harm done. The total comes to 235,000 standard gold picses.

"Wha...what if we don't have hat much money..."

As I get on the boat, I'll look for the commander.
"Greetings," Keenan slightly bowed. "We should look out for a horde of kobolds. We believe they'll be leaving by ship. It would be most unfortunate if they should escape," he chuckled. "And if there were...survivors apart from their commander."

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-01-15 06:26pm

I am also in said boat...

"Slight problem there. See those batteries? *points to a line of artillery overlooking the harbor*. If we just open fire on a ship, they open fire on us."

"Wha...what if we don't have hat much money..."

"Then the town guard arrests you for failure to pay for goods are servies. I believe the standard punishment is 20 lashings and 1 day of hard labor per 100 gold owed."

"We don't have to do it right here. They want to leave. We can slaughter them outisde of the view of those artillery pieces..."

"Okay, guess you got me. I'll go back to my house to get the money."

After I leave I run as fast as I can to my cart.

"Fine with me."

"Okay, guess you got me. I'll go back to my house to get the money."

After I leave I run as fast as I can to my cart.

"STOP HIM!"

You break into a dead run, two acid arrows explode near you (miss) as you run out the main extrance.

He smiles broadly. "Wonderful, I like working with professionals."

New plan, If I can tell what ship they are on, and if I am not being pursued, I run to the water, cast water breathing on my self, and dive in heading for the ship.

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-01-15 07:30pm

As you run, two wizards chase after you, you can tell they both have Expedious Retreat cast.

Two guards also chase after you.

Right, I cast fireball so it blows up INFRONT of them, so as not to hurt them. Then I shout "I'm just going to get the money!" and continue running along to the Shore.

Your explosion stops the wizards, but also spooks a horse, causing a cart to skid out of control and hit sombody. You didn't see if that person was ok.

You manage to loose the wizards in the confusion, and make it too the dock.
