"Damn! It was a long way from here...and I was guarding a wizard at the time. Would any other skin do?"
[[ Lol. Remember the box on wheels we had for wamzut? ]]
[[LOL. Vaguely.]]
"Dragon!" says Jim, excitedly, then he adds, "Guarding a Wizard, one from Gunde?" [[Please see the World site. For Intellectual Property reasons, that country is now called Gunde in my fiction.]]
Wilson just looks between the two of you incredulously.
Brand laughs, "Dragon you say? Well that would be a little harder than a lizard man. I was hoping you would say 'crocodile', or some such. Do you know of any source of these exotic hides? And...as where the wizard was from, I don't usually as such questions."
Jim shakes his head, but Wilson is a little more circumspect.
"I know a man who says he can get anything, if the price is right," says Wilson. "I don't know if he's telling the truth, but you look rich, so he maybe worth talking to."
"I'll give you his name for an Engle... and the promise that you let my brother here make the armour, if you get the lizardman hide."
Jim is now looking at his brother in a concerned manner.

Brand raises his eyebrows, "An Engle you say? That's a bit steep for a man's name, a man who even you say may be lying. How about 2 Cons now, and 2 more if it proves to be accurate? And he better be local."
Then he glances at Jim, "And it would be my pleasure to have Jim make it, should he be willing. As you know, I trust the work of your family. How much would the making cost?"
Jim looks both anxious and eager, but all he can do in answer to Brand's question is shrug and say, "I've never worked with lizardman armour before, I've just heard that its tougher and more flexible than cowhide, and besides, Dad and Wilson deal with the monetary side of things."
Wilson comes back with a counter offer. "The man lives in Northport. So, how about 6 Cons for the name, and we'll talk price for the armour after Jim has a chance to look at the hide, if we can get one."

Brand breathes in deeply, and stares at Wilson for several seconds before nodding, "I'm willing to pay the 6, but 3 up front, and 3 after I've spoken to this person."
[[ The stare is assessing him for veracity, deception etc, as much as for dramatic effect; if he gets a bad vibe, he may not make the offer ]]

He seems a little nervous, but Brand is unable to detect any obvious deceit in him [[Obviously I will have to tell you later if you can make an XP roll]].

Wilson turns to Brand, chuckles and says, "First, you have to catch your lizardman, and good luck with that."

Brand frowns, "Well, I wish I knew about this a few months ago. Does their leather rot as do other skins?"
Wilson frowns and then asks excitedly, "You've seen a lizardman? I thought you were a bodyguard?"
Jim then says, "They rot, just like any creature, but where did you see one?"
