"Yes; coins follow the same rules as other valuables. Magic items are artifacts, but artifacts are not always magical. As I said, there is nothing stopping you from exiting the contract; it is just a tremendously bad idea to anger the Lord by doing so early."

Blexelglab sighs, then signs the contract.

"G-good... enough f-for me."

Keldin nods, slams his hand on the table, and signs the contract.  "Ahhh so that's where you sign.  What are the rest of you waiting for?"

Faewynn signs.  "We could've signed a while ago if you'd given straight answers."

(@Gaiou @EchoSandwich ?)

Rieta will make a noise as if to speak in response before just giving a small, slow nod.

"Anyways, would you just like to take the licenses and go? I don't want to bother you any more than I need to."

"Oh-okay then. Where... are we to go?"

He reaches his hand out to grab the license.

Faewynn smiles and raises an eyebrow waiting for the answer of where to go.

"There's a path leading out of town. It's a bit hilly, but decently-well-trodden at this point"

"Weren't we supposed to get 50 gold for signing?"  asks Faewynn.

"Ah! Uh, yeah. These. Equivalent value."

She takes 5 platinum pieces for each of you out of a pocket and hands them over.

"Thanks.  It's a pleasure doing business with you.  "

 Faewynn beams a smile

"Same as you. I'll be off, then, if none of y'all have anything you want of me?"

Faewynn picks up the sending stone (s?).  

“Hey, is there a command word or instructions for this?”

Turning to the group.

“Do we need to get equipment or should we head straight to the dungeon?”

"No. Just concentrate on a message and the stone will send it."

"Got it.  C'mon guys, let's get crackin'!"

Fae heads for the door.

(OOC; Have we stopped?  What's going on ?)
