Dahlia gestures for Dwatto to close it up and looks around the place nervously as she waits for them to touch brains or whatever.
OOC:
How many crates of this do we have? I forget. And if it is more than one, is the other one(s) back on the ship?
Aug 6, 2025 6:16 pm
OOC:
You brought out three crates and the other two are back on the boat. Each crate is a man-carry.

Dahlia sees the wizards communing and she says, "Oi. Sorry to interrupt your committee meeting there, but you should know we got two more crates like this one we want sell too. What do ya say?"
Aug 10, 2025 3:31 pm
"That sounds very good," the women with the silver diadem says placidly, her eyes still closed. "Would you prefer to be paid with a letter of favor, coins, or information? Or a combination?"

"Achem-" with his arms still crossed, Myrven looks to Dahlia and not so subtly rubs his fingers against his thumb, the universal sign for cold hard gold.

Dahia says, "Well, coin, of course. Unless you know how to dispel the darkness that hangs permanently over the lake, or some other info as useful and valuable? But I'm guessing not, so let's stick to coin. How much we talking here?"
Aug 11, 2025 12:32 pm
"Three hundred …" says the older man. "Per crate."

"we funded a voyage of two dozen men on a chartered ship. Ain't accounting for the lengths we went delving the depths for the stuff. 300 your avin a laff."
Aug 13, 2025 3:15 pm
The younger man laughs uneasily. "That's really the best we can do in hard funds," he says. "But maybe some information would sweeten the deal?"

Dahlia shrugs and says, "yeah, I get you might not have more coin just lying around, so how 'bout this? For each crate, you give us 300 coin and a valuable piece of information."

Myrven gives a short nod of approval.

" that's fine" says the older woman. " we'll come with you to get the other two crates and the way there we'll pay you for this first crate. Other coin and information after we have all the crates."
Aug 14, 2025 7:46 pm
"Sure, I fink cap'n is still watchin the boat while the lads are on shore"
Aug 15, 2025 5:24 am
Dahlia nods to her companions and says, "Well then let's make this happen. This way." She gestures toward the door, intending to take the wizards to the crates, to complete the transaction.

OOC:
There's no need to overcomplicate this. Seeds of the next adventure will be sown.
Crates and coins are exchanged. The wizards impart some information, as well:

Rolls

Rumor 1 - (1d1000)

Rumor 2 - (1d1000)

Rumor 3 - (1d1000)

"Some speak of a many-colored lynx that roams the darkness west of Halfnight Lake," murmurs the grey-braided wizard with the silver diadem.

"The Seree Lycaeum was a mighty repository of knowledge, built over a huge cleft into the depths. No-body knows of any route to reach it in the waking world; it has been visited only by traveling magically along ley lines." says the young man.

"I’ve had this ring since I was a child. Whenever I put it on, I feel called to a faraway place—that way. I've never dared venture there. Maybe you're braver." The old man holds out a cheap-looking brass pinkie ring.

Dahlia holds up a hand at the first rumor and says, "Nah, that one's no good. We met the creature and spoke with it, twice. It can be bribed with strong drink in large quantities. So that one doesn't count. And yeah, hand over the trinket, bub."

All exchanges made, you're free to explore the town of Twosister. Or leave. Up to you!

Dahlia suggests they return to the boat and send the ship back with their cut, then we can stay here and shop with our new coin, look for trouble, etc.
OOC:
PS What is their cut? Did we determine that?
