Ember mutters to himself, "Fortune favors the bold."
He tries to keep the yackle team going slow and steady in the narrow streets while wondering where the ambush will happen because there is always an ambush in these situations. Thugs could be as bad as those underground rats...
There are crude barriers of sharpened logs near the entrance to Brokenback Row, pulled to the side. You also see some crude defensive works near the buildings.There are two bridges connecting three of the building together. After giving you a once over, the figures move on with their business.
You hear carousing from all of the buildings, maybe less from the small tavern furthest south (which appears run-down with the door hanging off the hinges).

Jackblack waves to you from the tavern on the bottom left. It has a bright pink painted unicorn skull nailed to the door.
"Hey, you can unload here if you want. I know the owners. You can go to the other places if you like, but this way you won't get ripped off too hard." He gives you a friendly wave and opens the door.

"In a couple days I was wondering if you'd do a delivery for me. Closer to the city is a place called Brokenback Row." Charles (Bartlett) rubs his neck and shrugs "I'd never go there myself, it's too dangerous. But if you want, you can take a few kegs there for me and make a sale.
Ember turns to look at 'The Wiz', "So... we traveled from Smoulderhome to 'here' which is even further into the wasteland of desolation... you can get that whole story from most back in Smoulder... or talk to Charles. He is a good story teller!"
Ember looks about at the others. "Is this it? Do we offload or do we 'make a sale' first?"
Alexia raises an eyebrow at Jackblack, then whispers to the rest of the party. "How did he make it here before us? And should we give him the rock?"

"Smoulderhome? Wasteland of Desolation? People around here come up with some wicked cool names." He looks at the group with an amused expression and whispers to them. "Hey, did you say coin? And rocks? I don't know if these rocks are really worth too much, but maybe I can look them over and see if you might want to 'renegotiate', if you catch my drift. Hazard pay bonus or whatever." He bounces his eyebrows repeatedly at the group.
Alexia turns back to Jackblack. "How much are you going to pay us for that 'liquid candy'?"

Jackblack approaches the wagon and looks at the contents, "I know this is for Charles so fair price, no haggling. 70 per barrel, 40 per sack...470 plus a gold for each of you as delivery fee. 475 gold."
He holds his hand out with a smile.

The Wiz watches with curiosity and amusement, but he won't argue for less money considering how expensive wizarding is. He opens his coin pouch and a tiny moth literally zigzags its way out of the otherwise empty sack of leather. He pouts as he watches it fly away.
"Girl, did you not hear what I said? No haggling. Charles and I have known each other for a long time, I would never cheat the man." He shrugs, "But well, go see if you can do better then."

"Hey man, let's not go running off just yet. Have you seen the prices for a pint and plate of food lately? Can't blame a girl for trying to hustle a bit." He looks over the contents of the wagon, which he is pretty sure he is noticing for the first time only just now. "475 gold, you say? Hmmmm..." The Wiz strokes his chin thoughtfully, imagining what it is like to have a beard. His thoughts continue to wander and the silence grows long and uncomfortable.
Ember mutters to himself, "Fortune favors the bold."

The Wiz controls the light to appear as though it is shifting to look at some of the people in the alley. Spooky!

Grey shrugs, "Jackblack is who hired us to get the rock, yeah? So why not give it to him? He does owe us some coin though!"

Grey shrugs, showing he is fine with 475.
