"The chance to take a lord down a few pegs AND get paid for it? I'm in" He looks around at his friends. "If they rest of you are in agreement, perhaps we should find out all we can about the good Lord Blackwood."
OOC: is there a check to see if I've ever heard of this lord?
"Sounds like your problems in this mine, you've spiked my interest Seva who knows whats hidden down in that vault" Rills eyes came to life his excitement evident in his not so friendly smile of teeth.
"But a Lord, that is not just a straight forward monster hunt or errand like we've run in the past, a Lord owns land has troops and influence it would have to be done right we would need a lot more information"
"The chance to take a lord down a few pegs AND get paid for it? I'm in" He looks around at his friends. "If they rest of you are in agreement, perhaps we should find out all we can about the good Lord Blackwood."
Elery stands silently shaking her head, each time a member of her group makes it clear they were looking for money in this adventure. Finding her time to respond to Seva's invitation she so does. "I would be happy to help, that Lord deserves to be removed of his position, that and, if the group is going, I'm following them now, I just like being here with them too much to simply leave them behind."
Thadrith, Seva forces a smile at you. “I’m…not sure what brought me over here. You all seemed—well, I don’t know. At the very least, I figured I could feel out where you were at and if you’d know where I could find some kind of help.”
She pushes her long golden hair out of her face. “If you’re serious about helping, we’re offering 1,000 gold up front with double once Lord Blackwood has been driven from out land. And you’d be given access to the mine. I don’t even know if there’s actually any value there, but who knows. It’s all we have, at this point. I’m sorry we can’t offer more.”
She let’s the moment hang and looks at each of you. “You’re right. If it were easy, we’d have found a way. We’re mostly farmers and herders, but we’re not entirely incapable. I can tell you everything I know, but I’m unsure it would be enough and you’d probably still would want to see much of it for yourself, I’d imagine.”
Lazarus: (to the party and Seva) "that comes to about 375 gold pieces for each member of our group if we are successful. Thats a fair deal, Waukeen is smiling at me tonight"

Thadrith smirks as she leans back in her chair and rests her feet on the table. "If anybody can drive away some noble crook, it's me,"she says. "I'm in."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rill
"If i could be so rude, id like a couple of questions answering before we talk further" Rill shuffles in his seat to face Seva locking eyes with her. "But where do farm hands and herders come across 1000 Gold Pieces, that is a princely sum to be trusted with, i hope you don't keep it on your person" As his gaze shifts he cast an eye over Thadrith before letting it rest once again on Seva "Also that sword"
OOC: i would like to gauge her response, INSIGHT 11
"What kind of price or power is in this vault that could drive a man to such cruelty?" Thene leans forward towards Seva "Not only for the unjust malice brought upon your people, but to make sure whatever lies within does not get to him."Thene places her hand on her forehead thinking hard for a moment "I'm glad you guys want to take this opportunity for gold or whatever. I shall bring the wrath of the storm upon this injustice..."
"Come on Thene, the only thing better than taking a corrupt lord down is getting PAID to take down a corrupt lord." Tristan says as he finished his drink and winks at his friend.
Elery (to Lazarus): "I mean, I understand your point of view, money is sacred for your beliefs, but for our other friends, looking for money in such a serious situation is just greedy, don't you think?"
She notices the continuation of the conversation, and continues talking with Lazarus. "Uhm... I don't think it's all that bad, they are also interested in saving these people, money is just a bonus to them, I think..." She seems to be aiming her conversation specifically to Lazarus, but it's not hard to hear her.
Lazarus: (to Elery [in a whisper]) "to be perfectly honest with you, i don't know if i believe her story. we should definitely check out village and see whats going on."
Lazarus peeks to see if Seva was paying attention during the conversation.
Lazarus: (to Elery [no longer in a whisper]) "well if the people are in real need of help, we can give a portion of our share back to the villagers if not give our entire share to the villagers. Waukeen likes good deals, but hates greed, i would not want to be a greedy man. She also likes the use of wealth to improve society, so if giving back our shares helps with that i can be happy with that action."
"Oh, of course, glad you agree that greedy reasons aren't good." She looks at Seva, not agreeing so much with Lazarus' suspicion that she's lying, but she felt like talking about it would just attract more attention, when he was actively trying to not be noticed.
Tristan, I never answered your question. There isn’t a check needed to know about Lord Blackwell. Each of you may choose if you know about him as a whole, know a little something about him, or don’t know him at all. I can give you more details or I may ask you to provide me with some if you choose to know anything about him.
Rill, you think you’ve got Seva dialed in. She’s not very emotionally complicated. And you feel that she’s speaking the truth about the village. When you mention the money, there’s not much of a response non-verbal response that you’re getting anything from. When you mention her sword, though she looks away and places a hand on it, like she’s trying to protect it. And you know what she says next about the sword is a lie.
“Gathering the money took time and careful planning,” Seva admits. “It’s the sum of all the town has left, really. And I don’t have it on me, no. But I can have it in hand within an hour or so.” She hesitates. “The sword—the sword is a family heirloom.”
Seeing as I grew up in courts around a bunch of nobles I would have probably heard of him, and the more well known or the subject of gossip he is the more I would know. Sounds like someone as cruel as him would be the subject of lots of gossip, unless he was really good at hiding it.
"The world is a better place without the likes of Blackwell. we seem to be on agreement in that, so how do we want to run this? I think a modified version of what we did in the Hardwater might work, though we'd have to be much more careful, I doubt Blackwell is so easily fooled. Perhaps his schedule." To Selva "Is Blackwell a creature of habit, does he keep to the same schedule?"
OOC: I just decided to make up a previous mission. Hardwater would have included a scouting mission where some of us went undercover to talk to the target first and get information.
Elery might've been a noble, in the right position to know about the Lord, but she actually was never really interested in knowing about other families, she cared more about her own, and those close to her, her disinterest comes from her average intelligence. She's definitely heard of him, if he's not too shady for that, but nothing too deep, like if he's evil or not.
"Of course, both ideas aren't exclusive of one another, so I think we could do both? We walk around the city to see how people are treated, and then we pay a visit to the Lord to see his opinion of what we see on the streets." Elery shares her plan, thinking about what else they could talk about relating to it.
"I mean, the Hardwater plan worked well, and if you people need to ensure that the Lord is actually evil, we'll cover both grounds this way, how does that sound?"
Thadrith
Thadrith's attention is drawn from the dwarf and half-elf as she listens to Seva's tale and realizes why she approached them.
"Is that why you came to our table, then?" Thadrith asks her. "To ask of our help?"
Lazarus: (to Seva) "Well i heard the magic word pay in there, so I'm willing to go, as long as everyone else doesn't have a problem with this."
Takes another sip of his ale.

Myra:
At the word 'pay' Myra moved her feet up off the table and sat up straight, notlw truly paying attention to Seva. "How much are we talking?"

"Hmmm, ok i put it to the group that we at least travel to see for ourselves what Blackwells reign is like"
He leans back studying Seva and more importantly that sword more intently as she talks to the rest of the group. Investigation: 13
Rill turns to Myra hissing slightly as he whispers "What do you make of this old friend, i am yet undecided, i cannot simply take her for her word"
Elery might've been a noble, in the right position to know about the Lord, but she actually was never really interested in knowing about other families, she cared more about her own, and those close to her, her disinterest comes from her average intelligence.
