In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 40):

there is about 40lbs worth of bronze, with a base value of $1440 but modified by the wealth of the seller... avd wealth nets only 40% comfortable is 60% and wealthy is 80%

"Oh well, that's good," comments Alastrine hopefully.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 41):

Was that all we had? Who is the most wealthy member of the team, or can the temple of Hades sell it for us? Hograth has very comfortable wealth and time to sell it...

plus this

very comfortable nets 70% and that probably is Hograth who is the wealthiest

there were some missed opportunities and hard to extract wealth (the 400lb snail shells are worth a fortune but nearly impossible to move; had you entered the tower using a very folkloric method you were so close to, there would have been more

In reply to Narrator (msg # 44):

Any payment by the Haderaum?

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 45):

this was an exploratory run with no demons dispatched

In reply to Narrator (msg # 46):

But a gate to hell closed...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 47):

which was not even in this dimension...

make a persuasion roll against Flavius and Numsy

In reply to Narrator (msg # 48):

Melchizedek tries to convince them based on the benefits of the fey not being corrupted in a world attached to Northport...using public speaking to sway not only these two, but all others in the room!

OOC: Do Flavius and Numsy count a High Society?

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 50):

"Demons and Fey? They fey belong to Pan and Persephone... SHE would be very protective of them.  Unfortunately, as agents of Her Husband, we cannot during the green seasons act on her behalf without raising her ire. I do not reccomend that you pester her priestesses during this time either.
 Any hellgates you find here,however,you will be greatly compensated for the closure thereof."



occ Numsy and Flavius are civil servants, only The high priest Remulus might be swayed by Savoire fair.

Alastrine gives a brief and, she hopes, but probably not discreet, nod to Melchizedek to indicate that's something she is able and willing to assist with.

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 52):

"Compensated by whom?"

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 53):

"The Hadereum, of course, with funds also drawn from Baron Mabinota's coffers. He has been made ware of the issue and has advanced us some coin."

In reply to Brother Numsy (msg # 54):

"So how do we get rewards for the gate we closed?"

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 55):

" That happened out of our jurisdiction, and without proof of demons defeated."

In reply to Brother Numsy (msg # 56):

"What sort of proof do you need? It was a plane that was corrupting another plane attached to this one. Do you need to read my mind for that proof?"

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 57):

"Good Day sir!"

Alastrine shrugs, "I think he's saying that we're done here, Melchizidek. So where next? I have insufficient coin to buy additonal spells. or much else, to be honest. Or should we just go gate hunting?"

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 57):

"If the Haderaum does not pay, maybe I need to find other work..." Mel mused. He already owed money due to low wages...

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 60):

I am not starting another thread.

you could meet with the head plutocrat and negotiate pay for future endeavors, but no one set up pay and missed some wealth that was there.

"Looks like we've got what we've got, Mel," muses Alastrine. "Think we should try and get something in writing before chasing down more gates?"

In reply to Narrator (msg # 61):

Yeah, I get that. Melchizadek would not be aware of what was missed, though. Was not looking at starting another thread, but considering joining one of the other existing groups...

Mel owes money to Hograth already, and does not have enough to buy spells either. Hence, he would look for something that payed more.

"Since I am short of cash, I might head over to the Adventurers guild to see if there are any jobs that pay more going..."

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 63):

"What about the $700 you owe me? I am happy to sell what we have and take your share, but I doubt that will cover it..."

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 64):

"I am not leaving just yet, but I will just see what is available, precisely so I can pay you back. Happy for you to take my share in the mean time..."
