Jyudas' Play By Post

[vinnyq]

Fyrx: I followeed the man upstair and take a seat, arm folded. I gave the man a curious smile (eye brow raised, wut this about then? kind of smile).

[herc2004]

I also go upstairs and sit in the seat that its across him so i can see him crear and watch his moves.
I will ask what he is proposing and what are the risk as Slythe will.
I also want to learn some more info about the Circle and what we have to gain from all these.

[grimjim]

(Going ahead anyway, not fair on everyone to keep waiting for one person)

Slythe watches as the others follow the man more directly. There doesn't seem to be anyone else following him and these others must be something to do with whatever he has planned. After a time Slythe follows after the others, with them but back a little, not as close to this man as the others, holding back a little, waiting to hear what he has to say.

Gojeta and Fyrx sit across from him at his table as he sips his water, taking a far closer interest and seemingly not worried to be associated with this person if anyone should see them. Jelathina hangs back even more than Fyrx, almost as though eavesdropping rather than taking part in the negotiations.

"What are you prop..." Gojeta and Slythe looked at each other as they both spoke the same words and then again as they both completed their sentence "...proposing."

The man finishes his water in slow sips, making you all wait before he answers.

"A couple of nights ago a fire fell from the sky in the Matis borderland and, so we hear, crashed to Atys violently. Previously the Karavan has taken great interest in such sites, as have the Kami, protecting and repairing the wound in the world. This time however, neither seem to have taken an immediate interest in it, perhaps caught up in their own conflict. This presents an... opportunity."

He brushes a little dust from his shoulders and levels his eyes at each of you in turn, startlingly green but heavily creased at the corners from exposure.

"That's where you come in."

"What are the risks?" Asked Slythe, taking a step closer. "And the rewards."

The man leans back into his chair and looks each of you over once more.

"The risks? Well, the Kami and Karavan may not be as neutral and uninterested as they appear at present, they might simply be being slow. It is also rumoured that Sirgio, the great Matis bandit, operates near the area the fireball fell. It is also an area known for its dangerous beasts where one does not tread lightly or without friends. A dangerous combination but not one too difficult for a group such as yours I am sure."

He pauses, smiling as he attempts his flattery.

"As to the rewards... a million dappers, even if there's nothing at all there. More if what is there is of any real value. If you'd prefer payment in goods or service that can be arranged, provided you're not too greedy."

He waits to let that sink in and then answers Gojeta's question about The Circle.

"We're the ones paying your wages, that's all you really need to know. We're in every land and every people and there are more of us than you might suppose. Now, do you need to know anything else?"

[herc2004]

What willl we have to do if Karvan and Kami get there while we are in the place you said?(leave the place, try to get the fire, ....)
Exept the money or goods as a reward will we get any equipment with us before we leave?
Will any other member from the circle will join us to this attemp?(helping us, spying us....)
How will we contact you when we need something or when we want to tell you news about this?

[akm72]

Slythe:
"Why don't you send your own people? I'm guessing we're pretty expendable to you... deniable as well. Now that's not necessarily a problem, but I like to know where I stand."

"Not that I'd never cross you, but what guarentee do you have that we wont keep whatever's there, and report back that we found nothing?"

[vinnyq]

*waits for the man to answer the questions from the other 2 that's with me*

*tries to get da man to give us 2 mil, or if not, a free mektoub mount*

[grimjim]

(Jelathina still seems to be on walkabout so as long as three people post I'll reply to keep it going)

He listens to each of your questions and answers them, turning his sun-baked face to each of you as he addresses you.

"If the Kami or Karavan are then when you arrive? Well, we'd want you to still try and get it if you could... but I don't expect you to throw your lives away for Dapper."

He sips a little more water as he listens further.

"We'll supply you with a wagon and a couple of Mektoubs, but you'll have to make your way there overland. The teleporters won't take a Mek or a wagon anyway, but if you 'port there you might alert the higher powers. We don't want that."

He smiles a little at the question as to whether any more will come.

"We prefer to stay secret, which is why we're acting through you. If you need to contact me, you can just think to me with your nanoseed." He taps his forehead with a finger. "My name is Dylan, think of me now and we'll be able to talk later. Be careful though, the higher powers might be able to hear even our thoughts."

(OOC: That's me rationalising the region chats and friends lists)

"Why don't we send our own people? Well young fella', you guess correctly. You're relatively expendable and we don't want to expose more of our organisation to risk than we have to. You're not expendable to yourselves though, any risks you take are your own. Trying to keep something from us would be one of those risks, and you never know who is one of us."

At the demand and wheedling for more money he shakes his head and laughs.

"That is EACH already you know, maybe you can persuade the others to give you a cut eh? As to a mount, the two pulling the wagon are also trained as mounts, you can saddle one and keep it afterwards. They always breed more."

[akm72]

Slythe: (to Fyrx) "A million dappers isn't too bad for a retrieval, with a bonus if whatever it is turns out to be valuable."

(to Dylan) "I'm willing to go down there and see what we can find, but no reward is worth dying for, so don't expect me to risk my neck."

[herc2004]

I'm in this so i'll might risk but not if i see that my life is in danger.
I hope everything will go good and i'm trying to learn the other ones that we will travel together.
Where are they from how they are called(since we first meet here ,correct me if i'm wrong)

[vinnyq]

*agrees to the business*

*thinks to himself that he probably would have a chance to bolt at the first sign of trickeries*

*says to the man he wants a little more initial down payment, maybe another 250k from the 1mil we would get later*
