Don just stays silent, his hand still at his waist resting on his weapon. He doesn't take the drink, for all intents and purposes he is still as stone.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"What the hell Un. You were not supposed to get rid of the box, like Drake said." Back to the men "I'm very, very, sorry about what my careless and irresponsible companion. She is naturally like this - a thieving idiot with less wit and brains then a bulette and the senses of a stone wall. In addition to that, I believe she has replaced the item within with something else. Please, do not believe her. Also, is there anything I can do to compensate for what she did?" Arsyc looks very sincere at this point, while occasionally throwing glances at Un.
Un'undeen takes a sharp look at Arsyc and her eyes flash white briefly.
He can see her mouth the words silently and then hear her whisper in his ear as if she was standing right next to his head. "What are you doing? You're giving away all our bargaining power. Why don't you just give them everything, take their knives and slit your own throat?"
[Just making sure, Arsyc should know that Don has the box with proper rock inside and Un'undeen is just baiting them for information with a rock from the sidewalk.]
Arsyc gives a quick reply to Un "We were paid for this, and I want my pay. No blood should be spilt where it is not needed. You are a dishonest cheating liar. If this goes wrong, I have absolutely no part in this."
The man takes the rock off the table, studies it for a second and laughs. "You filthy, filthy half-elf. I'm caught between giving you a lecture about the importance of the real rock or simply bashing in your skull with this. The real one please."
"People in glass houses..." Un'undeen says with no sound but in Arsyc's ear yet he can hear the hiss of it. "And we have yet to be paid for this. We have no obligation. Can you not see we are already being played? Where is Eryn? He should have been here but he is nowhere to be-- Hey!" And the last word comes out audibly for all as the man just grabs the rock. She tries to grab his hand but merely brushes it. But in that moment, her floating diadem flashes slowly and diminishes. [Casting Friends].
"We will not be threatened by you. This thing was dropped in our lap. We could just as well have saddled off and on our way but we stayed. However, this all is looking fishier by the minute. So let me make that decision for you: Let's hear that lecture."
[If anyone seems to be struggling with their drink, she will try to ascertain what it is from a visual examination.]
"Okay, lemme tell you, mister nice guy. The box is with Don over there, and here's the deal - you take the box, give us our reward, and leave us be. Okay? Otherwise something bad is going to go down. The contents are still inside, whatever it is. My bandit-like companions have not touched it yet."
Don steps between the party and the man. "Might not be exactly what we were hired to do, but I'm starting to get a little upset." You come into my favorite bar, yelling, scaring good hard working folk." He crosses his arms in front of his chest. "Why don't you give us that lecture? If the stone is as bad as you say, are you really the one who should have it? Might be better we take it to the guard and let the authorities figure out rightful ownership."
So Don their all wearing hoods, so you can't see anything.
"Stop toying with them," a larger one of the people dressed in black demands, "And don't argue, just do it. Sseth is getting hungry." At this the first man takes of his hood revealing a face of scales.
"Suprise!" He says with a delightfully charismatic tone, as his equally scaly hands throw some black powder on you. Lights out.
[No initiative? Even though we were ready for them? No con saving through? I assume though they wouldn't just kill us and we just need to be brought into the ssssstory. ;) ]
Sorry guys I didn't really feel like having you guys fight two malisons yet, and besides Eryn wanted to get in on the action.
You all wake up in a room piled in heap, reunited with Eryn. At the end of the room there is a single wooden door. On the wall there is a large window. Coming from the window you here a string of conversation.
"Must you leave without the adventurers? They'll be a burden to us here," a first voice complains, you don't recognize this voice.
"Please," a voice you recognize as the scaly man's counterpart, "sacrifices are a dime a dozen, we need this. We'll be back soon again to pick them up."

"The Box", he demands.
"Who cares about a stupid box? This is what you want, isn't it?"
And she unwraps the rock from the cloth, leaving it there, bare.
"Now, let's discuss. What is it worth?"

Drake, never a drinking man refuses the drink.
"It seems we are all being more stubborn than mules. The box was part of the deal, as was its contents, Un'undeen."
