In reply to Sederic (msg # 34):

The same can be asked of you Master Sederic; however let us say it's a means of improving ones lot in this world.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 35):

Dolpho looks up from a bowl of brown when Broderick re-enters the guild. While his sword is checked in with Aemon,his tools are at his belt.

This is the man who mamaged the gates Broderick had passed through previously.

"Bon jour. Monsieur Mercer, I presume?"
Grimaldi greeted the stranger.

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 37):

"You presume correctly. Whom is addressing me? I have seen you, but we have not met."

"I am Grimaldi. Well met.. this is Sederic."
Grimaldi gestured to the half elf.
"Master Broderick, I trust you already know... You see, we're looking for a locksman to join us on a foray below the city..."

"Mayhaps a bit of all three, Broderick. I'd love to stumble upon some magical tomes, to be quite honest," Sederic says to Broderick, turning to the man walking up.
He nods in greeting and checks the man over, sizing him up.
"I've been told u are familiar with the sewers, Dolpho. Do you have any particular skills or knowledge that will benefit us down there? I hate yo admit it, but my knowledge is lacking in that area. I'm pretty much a sword arm on this expedition, looking to fatten my purse and perhaps make some new friends amongst the guild," he says, a smile creeping across his face.
Sederic wraps a hand around Miekka's hilt, seemingly holding it in place in it's sheath. He scans the street they are standing on and then turns his eyes back to his companions, raising an eyebrow quizzically.
"So, what do you lot think? Should he accompany us or not?" Sederic asks, so eager to get this venture underway.

"We'll be operating under Little Shevnia... While your skills as a locksman are needed, it might also serve us, if you were aquainted with shevnian language and script..."
Grimaldi popped the rest of his cake into his mouth, and put his gloves on, after brushing away the crumbs in his palm.

Waiting in the street, for the others to return, Smasher continued staring at the building opposite the Guild.

Broderick slipped into a seat beside Dolpho, remaining quietly attentive as the others question the Guildsman.

ooc Judging by Darius'es recent post he won't be joining us we should move along.

 Carruthers slipped over to Broderick and quietly informed him about Darius's.

Sederic looks between the men again, his eyelids heavy.
"I say we take Dolpho along. We can go without the other man, methinks. Between Broderick's entourage and ourselves, we should have this well taken care of. To be completely honest, I'm just ready to go," Sederic laughs, interlacing his fingers and stretching his arms, popping his elbows.
He looks in his coin purse and frowns, noticing the measly three coins in it.

OOC let's get going, lol. We should be good, I think.

In reply to Sederic (msg # 46):

"I'm in, at the usual rates plus a share. What's the job?"

In reply to Dolpho Mercer (msg # 47):

Broderick looks at the others anticipating their acceptance of Dolpho's fee as rates will be charged equally to each member.

ooc Broderick doesn't agree to forking out a full share and standard rate. He's of the opinion Hirelings either get standard rate and half share or full share. If the others agree to those terms he'll expect full rate and full share as well and he'll suggest each member of the group to do so also. Thus Dolpho will be obliged to contribute to the payment of the other party members the same way he expects them to contribute to his standard rate.

once the negotiation is finalised he suggests they head to the Leather Lounge to locate Barlow.

OOC (( can u explain that to.me a little more in depth? I was under the impression that we were going treasure hunting and just splitting whatever we found between us. Is the guild paying us or something? Is the area were going to.unmapped? ))

"I thought that we had agreed that Dolpho would be enough. Too many more heads and we could be leaving with barely anything for ourselves after the guild takes it's cut. We don't know how much treasure is actually down there, and how much it's worth," Sederic says, irritation evident in his voice as the agitation of not having left yet is getting to him.

02:03, Today: Grimaldi rolled 15 using 3d6.  loner - 12 or less to succeed
Grimaldi sighed
"This is beginning to get way too crowded...I agree with Sederic. I say we take one other person.. somebody to open locks and perhaps deal with traps. Shevnian, is a bonus.."

In reply to Sederic (msg # 49):

ooc posts 29-32 didn't indicate any limitation; so was assuming there was no problems and have been posting accordingly.

Going for gold was our intention, however Darius was the one who detected it and he's not participating. The Guild isn't involved it'll be a exploration to see what we find.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 51):

"Alright, a half share. I was seeing a Shevnian girl, so I know a few words.

You head toward the Leather Mask.

In reply to Dolpho Mercer (msg # 52):

Broderick thanks Dolpho and accepts these revised terms on behalf of the team.

ooc Do they reach the Leather Lounge and locate Barlow? If so he'll let the others discuss terms with the guide.

In reply to Broderick Leibert (msg # 53):

The leather mask is a tavern frequented by tanners, and the place reeks of them. In the back, behind a table of leatherworkers discussing a dart game, sits a man of orcish descent wearing gear emblazoned with the logo of the Northport Department of Acqueducts and Sewers.

"Well, I suppose that's Karlow..."
13:52, Today: Grimaldi rolled 11 using 3d6 ((5,3,3)). Aura - 14
Grimaldi focused on Karlow from a distance, within the darkness of his hood..he turned his wrist and gestured an open palm as if asking/offering and spoke:"Verum Natura"

15:24, Today: Sederic rolled 8 using 3d6 ((2,1,5)). Thaumatology 15



Feeling the familiar tinge of magic in the air, Sederic observes the casting of the spell and commits what is found to memory.
Sederic smirks and nods in agreement with Grimaldi. A hand strays to Miekka's hilt and rests there as he sizes the man up, falling into step behind the large group when they move forward.
"I'm assuming you are correct, Grimaldi. Let's hope this is the last one, our group's getting far too large for my liking, soon we won't be able to swing our swords without striking each other accidentally," he chuckles, keeping his voice low, trying to avoid letting others know what they're up to.
He looks around the room, noticing the awful smell of the tannery workers profession sticking to them. He makes mental notes of the shadier looking characters and their locations, preferring to never be caught unawares.m

Moving into the tavern Smasher positions himself to the right of the entry and stares at the front counter.

In reply to Smasher (msg # 57):

The orc looks up from his meal.

Accompanying Clair, Currethers, Dolpho, Grimaldi, Phylicity, Sedrick and Smasher; Broderick entered the Leather Mask. Upon locating Barlow, Broderick greeting the Orchish Sewer Worker, then waited for either Dolpho, Grimaldi, Sedrick or Smasher to make any inquiries about exploring the sewers.
