Their leader pauses before you.
  "Inkeeper has arrangement.  You carrying barrel do not!"

In reply to Keselezo (msg # 362):

"We are on task for innkeeper, and we are clearing undead from areas surrounding your area. You have already lost a couple of your folk to these undead; how many more do you want to loose? Let us through, or you risk greater losses, as well as possibly spoiling you relations with the innkeeper.

Besides, your agreement with the innkeeper was with him and all those with him. I was with him."

"So's I."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 364):

The goblin squints at you


make a reaction roll!  (or diplomacy or fasttalk)

In reply to Keselezo (msg # 365):

Aine is not the most influental person...

Aldous can't contribute anything positive to the discussion.

Our friend here has been cleaning up the tunnels you use to keep them safe as requested by the witch upstairs and her husband.
He has been wounded and we are taking him up for the witch to heal ...you don't want to make her mad now, do you?

"No anger witch!  You go!"

In reply to Keselezo (msg # 369):

Aine wastes no time in leading the group onwards.

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 370):

Once up out of the cellars, you make your way into the inn. Mamma Yurik Fusses over your injuries.

In reply to Hetilda Yurick (msg # 371):

Aine lets her, but suggests they deal with the barrel soon.

"Ah c'n go w'ya t' th' Tow'r.  Sparky?"

Hetty gets some soup and dumplings into you, those injured recover 3 hp each.

The barrel rattles.

In reply to Hetilda Yurick (msg # 374):

Dagon peers out of one of the Inn's windows.

             "Will you look at that, day nearly gone..."

In reply to Dagon (msg # 375):

"Yes, lets get the barrel to it's destination now..."

Aldous quickly slurps some soup and a couple dumplings, and prepares for the crosstown trip.

"Le's go.  Soones'."

you make your way to the sage's laboratory, where you are greeted by his hunchbacked servant

"May I help you?"

In reply to Holgien (msg # 378):

"We have something to sell your master..."

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 379):

"Show them in... Say Wasn't there a coulple of young Shevnians with you before?"

In reply to Bertrand (msg # 380):

"They are managing their inn, so we do the cleaning for them, and collect the pay for the cleaning ourselves. We have an undead for you...alive, errr, not at rest anyway."

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 381):

"What kind have we got - Dagon, isn't it? You studied with Selan.  What is your evaluation of the contents of the barrel?"

In reply to Bertrand (msg # 382):

"Selan is who I report to, yes. As to the contents of the barrel, it was an orc.  It is quite dead, but restless, and willful.
 It is not a member of the hungering horde, like that specemin you have in the cage there.
 It is slightly damaged, by fire and brute force and magical bolts, but it is also unnaturally cold,
 so my guess is that it is a wight, and reasonably intact.
 How much are you going to pay this group for its capture?"

"Ah. If it is all you say it is, then it is worth an even 50 pieces of silver... perhaps a little less if damaged."

In reply to Bertrand (msg # 384):

"50 pieces of silver? They better be big ones. You promised us a pound of silver for a live wight!"

Aldous draws the hilt of his smallsword (reversed, so as not to seem a threat).

"Tha' won't eve' fix m' sword."
