To Fjolnir: "Hmm, price you say? 1,000 gold for damages already incurred, and I will get the two of you currently afflicted to Neverwinter. I won't even charge you for teleportation. Be wary, though, that it may also cost money to have services rendered at a temple, unless you have connections, of course." He looks at Absinthe. "I'm sure it won't be much problem for someone with your background? You'll have to get back here on your own."
Dustfinger proceeds to tell Hamun Kost several details about the dungeon, but he seems focused on breathing, and the loss of his zombies, and doesn't seem to be paying full attention yet. "I put the bonnets on them... I made them look friendly... He killed them all in one swipe!"

Fjolnir tilts his head as a dog would to a faint whistle, "Damages...? To the two men here, you mean? Yer gonna have ta fill in a detail er two, i'm not following..."
Turns to Az Yeah me and Mater Starlight did some jobs in the past he helped train me a great bit and we shared spells...
turns back to Master Starlight He's also the only person to give me a puzzle i couldn't solve, yeah he did Hymir, agreed other Hymir but luckily not solving it hasn't affected my mental health at all, plus i'm about to solve it so YOU PRACTICALLY FAILED MASTER STARLIGHT.
Az he never had a glass eye i mean he always had an affinity for stars but stars are a pretty common wizard thing i didn't think much of it plus he couldn't poly morph when i knew him he feels things should be in their natural state, what happened to you Master Starlight?!
"Damages? We don't even know who you are. Whatever damage we cause is well deserved to whomever we caused it to. I'll pay you for the teleport but we don't owe you any debt for damages. If we killed something you sent as us that is your fault for sending it at us in the first place. Consider that a teachable moment and we'll give it to you for free. Sweet robes by the way, now if you can help, please do, if not I've got to go. I'm too old for this shit."

He points at the head of Venomfang. "Yes, damages. You killed my pet dragon. It'll cost at least that much to bring him back, thank you very much. Fine then, 1,000 for the teleport if that suits your fancy. It makes no difference. Take it or leave it." He shrugs.
"Yes, it's Master Starlight, yes I taught at a school Hymir attended, yes I gave him the mechanical spider. Yes, yes all true. The madness is an unforeseen side-effect. Interesting. More observation will be needed. What happened to me? I expanded the parameters of my experiment, that is all."

Not taking hus eyes iff the wizard. "I don't trust him and I have words that need spoken and answers that need given but we're on a time frame. Absinthe this is your decision. I might be able to make Neverwinter and I will give my all if that's what you decide even if it kills me. I can't promise we'll make it. I can make Phandolin easily but there's no guarantee Griselle can fix this. Whatever you decide I'm with you." "Hymirs, we need to have a seperate conversation later."
Completely different demeanor now If you are referring damages to Venomfang, you should have kept that thing on a leash, if that arrogant prick was yours than perhaps we need to discuss damages your pet caused as well? Next time, get a dog.
"The dragon?" Fjolnir looks over at Absinthe and asks, almost to himself in confusion, "...he means the dragon?" Turning and addressing the tall cloaked figure, "Forgive me if we damaged your property- We're here on errand to authorities in Phandalin. Or hell, the only other landholding keep in the area is Cragmaw, and we're on good terms with its lord. With no sign or mark claiming stewardship to Thundertree's lands- or title held?" He sighs "I knows my salvage laws; while not culpable, i feel bad fer your damages. Since you cant heal these men, id be happy to pay teleportation and more than normal passage as a mea culpa- 100g for the two fellows? Easy work for someone of your talents, I suspect. For 1000, that would call for the whole party and equipment."
"I landed the killing blow on Venomfang if you want to reap damages your welcome to square with me. (involuntary growl) I imagine the balance leans in my favor."
With respect to you and the loss of your pet, helping my comrades would earn you our blade if you need it. Under no circumstances will we pay you for your negligence in handling your dragon. If this is unacceptable than I'm afraid there isn't anything else to discuss. Please put the head back, unless you are looking to purchase it. It's worth 1000g to me.
"No thanks, I'm not paying 1000 gold for a teleport, we can walk and make it for free."
"Can you?"
If you are referring damages to Venomfang, you should have kept that thing on a leash, if that arrogant prick was yours than perhaps we need to discuss damages your pet caused as well?
"Ha ha, he was quite arrogant, wasn't he? I'll have to coach him on that. You look fine. He does not. Discussion over."
"I knows my salvage laws; while not culpable, i feel bad fer your damages. Since you cant heal these men, id be happy to pay teleportation and more than normal passage as a mea culpa- 100g for the two fellows? Easy work for someone of your talents, I suspect."
"I'm not referring to laws or property. Venomfang was my charge. I promised him he'd live forever. I intend to keep that promise, you made that more difficult and more expensive. I'm asking for compensation." He contemplates the offer. "500 gold and I send them to Neverwinter. Final offer."
"I landed the killing blow on Venomfang if you want to reap damages your welcome to square with me. (involuntary growl) I imagine the balance leans in my favor."
"That's doubtful."
With respect to you and the loss of your pet, helping my comrades would earn you our blade if you need it. Under no circumstances will we pay you for your negligence in handling your dragon. If this is unacceptable than I'm afraid there isn't anything else to discuss. Please put the head back, unless you are looking to purchase it. It's worth 1000g to me.
"I do not need your blade, and I am not paying for something you stole from an unwilling corpse. Place your forked silver tongue back in your mouth, it has no power here. Make your choice. 500 gold and I'll teleport you. Decide quickly, I am growing bored."
Looks like we are done here. Put the head back, a corpse has no will and I didn't see a collar identifying you as the owner. Given your proclivity for extortion I'll not extend you the benefit of the doubt.
Dustfinger chimes in from the side of the inconsolable crybaby, Hamun. "If we pooled our resources, it would be no burden to any of us. But we are here in the midst of our journey, and wouldn't it be simpler to have Absinthe teleported there and back again while we wait here?"
"You can call it extortion, I call it reimbursement. Regardless, the price has been dropped to 500. You're welcome. The head is a separate matter, let's make one deal at a time."
"Two teleportations are not on the table. I do not intend to go with you, I intend to send you. If it is imperative that you all stay together, I could send you all if you'd like. That won't cost me extra, but you'll have to make it back here on your own. If you insist on getting there and back, you'll be looking at 1,000 again." He grins.
Mutters, "This guy's really pompous for someone with a poofy name like Starlight. Probably keeps his scrying orb up his..." "I am in agreement with all of this. Let's get the hell out of here before hating this guy gives me an aneurysm."
He makes Venomfang's head float higher so that your feet are off the ground if you're still hanging on. "Your claim? Does that mean if I were to take your head from your body it would be mine, regardless of your will to continue to be alive? Answer wisely, your friends' youthfulness is now teetering on my willingness to make this deal. Yes or no? 500 gold to send you, 1000 for there and back."
