Jevyn thought over the situation for a moment. Suddenly, he broke from the circle. "Captain Witherwick, sir, is this job a standard event or one that will earn us more renown? I do believeI mentioned that we have a job lined up for tomorrow, but if this one assures us good standing in the Watch, then we may be able to renegotiate the terms of our contract for our prior job. While the prospect of a consistent wage is alluring, this particular job has offered us a good sum of money to complete. That is what we're trying to decide at the moment."
"...I think trying to take the whole load is going to be rough...”
** I believe they said it was only a small case which contained the poison **
Locke leans close to the group out of earshot if anything that may be trying to listen.
“I’m also ok with playing Dirty Watchman. We could steal the posion, get our reward from the Slaine Guild then turn them in for reward or recognition to The Watch.” He whispers to the group.
Jevyn glanced back at the party. "One more moment please." Rejoining the group, he whispered, "Listen, I don't think he'll budge. We can try to coordinate something in the future, so unless Locke wants to sweeten him up, I think we'll be doing as he orders."
"Right, let's just get it over with. We should take the job.
Also, does anyone else think it's an interesting coincidence that two different groups know about a seemingly secret poison delivery that apparently an entire crime guilds fate rests on? I wonder..."
"It's the most efficient task force in Terra. We take on the hardened criminals and the thugs when their pretty sticks" Gabriel indicates the half-elf and Lang, "Just aren't up to the job. "
Witherwick steps forward. "It has just come to our attention that a shipment of a deadly poison, lithmir extract by name, is to be transported across the city at approximately 2:00 this morning. The majority of our forces is concentrated in the north of the city, and we are low on Watchmen. We need you six to intercept the shipment and apprehend the escort. "
Atlas's eyes glow. Literally glow! A purpose! The hulking construct nods "I would be honored to join this hit force. I and my scaled friend will be very efficient." He says in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Atlas! We are gunna be heroes!"Shiv will say attempting to shake the warforged by rocking back and forth holding his shoulders and hanging on to his back.
Locke will again initiate a team huddle, motioning everyone to lean in close.
”I don’t mean to be the bearer of I’ll tidings, friends, but we have already agreed to meet Slaine and Lazarus at 1:00 this morning. Perhaps half of us can meet The Watch and half meet with the guilds?”
"I was thinking about that. Locke, can you and Seabeak go and find Lazarus now? Tell him we've infiltrated the Watch and that we've been assigned to intercept the caravan. We should be able to prevent the interference of law enforcement this way. I'll send Esme to meet them tonight so we can keep an eye on their movements. She'll have to be in the form of an owl, so as to not draw attention. I'll be able to see and hear through her senses, so there won't be any issue with that. We'll tell the Watch I'm scouting the area from above, using Esme. It won't be too far from the truth. The only catch is that I'll be blind to my own sight and hearing, so you'll have to tap me to bring me back. Atlas, if you could carry me during that time so I don't run into things, I'd be greatly obliged." Jevyn finally paused to breathe. "Any objections? Though Locke, if you could, I'd like for you to look into these guilds a little bit deeper. Something might be rotten in the city of God's Hope, and I hope it's not us."
Shiv will lean really close to Atlas, to the point where the teeth of the viashino are brushing up against the metal ear (ear hole... ear zone...) of the warforged. "I like to think of it as working for the watch and infiltrating the gang personally...." He would whisper very quietly, his head still just resting on the shoulder of Atlas as he clung on to the warforged's back. "If the time comes to choose loyalty to the watch or the gang... I know which side I will choose..."The viashino's tongue flicking against the metal of the warforged as Shiv whispers again before he quickly attempts to take his arm and wipe the wet spot off the side of Atlas's head....
Atlas nods, causing a feint scraping sound to pierce their huddle as Shiv's tooth scratches against the metal "I agree. I would like to side with the law if given the chance"
"Then its agreed. Robin and I will further investigate the guilds, attempt to make contact with Slaine and Corpse prior to 1:00, and should we not be able to meet with them then we will meet them at 1:00. Is there anyway we can communicate should any plan change on either of our ends?" Locke waits with a serious face for confirmation from the party.
"If you give me a moment, I can send Esme with you." Jevyn began to pull his materials from his bag to start the ritual. "I'll check in with you in an hour. Sound good?"
Jevyn thought over the situation for a moment. Suddenly, he broke from the circle. "Captain Witherwick, sir, is this job a standard event or one that will earn us more renown?

** Steal it for ourselves, or deliver it to the Slaine Guild? **
** I believe they said it was only a small case which contained the poison **
Locke leans close to the group out of earshot if anything that may be trying to listen.
“I’m also ok with playing Dirty Watchman. We could steal the posion, get our reward from the Slaine Guild then turn them in for reward or recognition to The Watch.” He whispers to the group.
(Steal it for the Slaine Guild)
Witherwick glares at you. "You're in no position to negotiate, rookie. You do your job without question and wihtout complaint."
You may make a Persuasion check, if you wish.

"I agree. we can focus on what to do next once we have the shipment in hand and all threats are dealt with" Tak adds.
Atlas's eyes glow. Literally glow! A purpose! The hulking construct nods "I would be honored to join this hit force. I and my scaled friend will be very efficient." He says in a matter-of-fact tone.
Shiv will smile and climb the back of Atlas and poke his head over his shoulder. "SIGN ME UP!" He will say with a smile.
"Then we are agreed. You will report back here at 1:00 tomorrow morning."
Witherwick salutes you and strides over to the Watchtower.

"Atlas! We are gunna be heroes!" Shiv will say attempting to shake the warforged by rocking back and forth holding his shoulders and hanging on to his back.
"Heroes...." He echoes Shiv as he begins to rock back and forth gently. "I think I would like that"
Locke will again initiate a team huddle, motioning everyone to lean in close.
”I don’t mean to be the bearer of I’ll tidings, friends, but we have already agreed to meet Slaine and Lazarus at 1:00 this morning. Perhaps half of us can meet The Watch and half meet with the guilds?”
"I will go to the watch!" Shiv will raise his hand, causing him to slide down the back of the warforged a bit
"I was thinking about that. Locke, can you and Seabeak go and find Lazarus now? Tell him we've infiltrated the Watch and that we've been assigned to intercept the caravan. We should be able to prevent the interference of law enforcement this way. I'll send Esme to meet them tonight so we can keep an eye on their movements.

Atlas nods, causing a feint scraping sound to pierce their huddle as Shiv's tooth scratches against the metal "I agree. I would like to side with the law if given the chance"
Locke smirks slightly and nods and Jeyvn.
"Then its agreed.
