Avrick looks down at the ground listening to the tale, taking all the information in slowly, regardless from the sounds of it, the girl would need help, so. ”I’ll help.“ It felt right to say such, that’s what he wanted, to help. Mayhaps along the way he would find out something of his parents ”What’re we against.”

Vonrak: Everyone you see seems pretty forthright and invested in the situation. With the grief of Nykos and the employee/friend dynamics elations hip. The room is really hard to read.
Thok: Of the three that are in the room with you, they don’t seem to be pretending to be someone else. Their actions appear to be genuine and don’t show any signs or tells of lies or deceit.
Thok relaxes a bit finally. In a deep, gravelly voice, he softly says aloud “Start with an offer. Then give us the details. Parameters for success. Details of obstacles. My friends and I are selective in taking jobs.”
At the question of what the reward for retrieving Nadia , Nykos becomes unchained in his remorse and guilt bursting into tears. “Money, equipment, housing, you can have anything you want.... just bring my love back to me!”
Kai Shuran walks over and puts a hand on his shoulder to calm him down. “I know Nadya didn’t feel for me exactly as I did her.... but she can’t help that I fell head over heels for her. She wanted to take things slowly. But she still loved me I could tell!” Nykos says in between sniffles and wiping his eyes.
Kai Shuran maintains humeself a little more so. “What we have agreed upon before this meeting would to ask for you to Infiltrate the Temple of Purity. Gain access to the lower level and recover Nadya. You will be paid 500 GP each... plus you’ll have the undying appreciation of a member of the future archduke of Rhedd.”
Kai Shuran shakes his head in anger when asked who the group has to “go against”. He continues “Two days ago, a man called The Rector came calling. He demanded that Nykos sell the girl to him. The lord refused outright, despite being offered ten-times what he paid for her. The Rector was insulted, threatened Nykos and was escorted out. That night, a horrible screaming came from Nadya’s room. I found Nykos cringing by the window. He claimed that a great bulk fled through the window with the girl in its clutches. I refused to believe it a coincidence that her abduction happened the same day that The Rector was refused her.”
(It’s been a day and with the sickness I forget who said what for their backstory at this time. So to whom it may concern, you have heard the Rector name before. His real name is Pairagno. He is a vizier... an advisor to Lord-Governor Droen. He is a priest of a secretive death cult operating out of The Temple of Purity, a place of worship among the upscale villas upslope from the city. Its members have a diabolical reputation... according to the whispers among members of society.)
Avrick grimaces at the mention of “the Rector” but composes himself after a moment ”Alrighty then, where can we gather some equipment to prepare?” In a clenched fist Avrick has unknowingly summoned his bow, small flame like shadows flicking off of his hands. As soon as he realizes it, he releases the bow from his grasp, letting it return from where it came.

Plaugg ponders for a moment and says "I'll need to spend a bit of time scouting the temple so I know how to disguise myself if we decide to go that route."
“We need to figure out how to get into the upper city, first. The guard won’t let us just waltz up there.” Thok strokes his chin. “Perhaps I can take a walk around town, see if I can find someone open to smuggling folks up. I’m sure someone’s running that game.”
Avrick thinks and then decidedly says “I could ask either of my deities for help, I don’t particularly know if either would be able to or would want to but, if we want to I could try.” Avrick sighs and then hesitantly adds trying to say this only to his friends “I may know the man we are up against, or rather who he is. I think I’d also know how to disguise us”
Nykos sighs and collapses into a chair, visibly relieved at the group accepting the offer. Kai speaks up “Mr. Nykos is a very well connected business man in the area. You stay here, any regular equipment, just let us know and we will get it for you. If you require something more extraordinary... we will see if we can point you in the right direction. However you want to resolve this issue is fine with us.... just make sure that Nadya comes home, okay?
"Some better armor than this leather please, Scale mayhaps? And if at all possible to get something else magical that could benefit our defenses, that would be wonderful." Avrick pauses and adds "If at all possible, if you have any books on the history of noble families or books on extra planar entities or deities. those would also be appreciated."

“Lockpicks, disguises, climbing kits, healer’s kits, grappling hooks, jeweler’s kit, papers granting passage to the upper city, healing potions, alchemist’s fire, locks...” Thok just keeps listing things to see how much he can ask for til there’s a reaction.
"If she's being held against her will, we'll do our best to get her out. As for getting into the upper city, I come from a important family. I bet there are some family friends living there I could think of a reason to visit and get us into the upper city that way. I assume you'd all be ok to pose as my retinue?"
Avrick chuckles “Important family. Funny that any of us think that.” Avrick shifts his weight and clearly looks discomforted from the moment Vornak mentions his lineage
