50eh? You'd think our services to your family might fetch a better price. I imagine you'll want us to have a talk with Gaara. How do you see that going?
As he finishes, he raises an eyebrow and smiles unassumingly at Alden.
He turns darker and darker shades of red as your fumbling attempts to extort more money out of him fall on deaf ears. Outrageous! You would try to blackmail me for more money!! Get out! Get out Now! Guards! Escort these erstwhile adventurers off of the estate! They are no longer welcome here!!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
For someone who wanted to keep us quiet, you now think it’s a good idea to kick us out in such a manner? Fine by me, I think my first stop will be to visit the Sharns Watch
You misunderstand good Sir. I myself do not ask for more coin. However, your actions, understandable though they are given the fact your son was captive, have been most injurious to my warforged kin. On your honour as a man of standing this is still an act that must be accounted for. I only ask that you do right by my people. Protection, employment, whatever you feel is manageable. I will even forgo the initial gold you have offered for the sake of my kin.
Turning to Alden, his smile drops away, and his voice takes on a menacing tone.
Listen pops. I don't think you've understood what's going on here. Maybe the kid would be better off with the warforged at this rate. We'll have a proper reward, or the whole town will know how badly you look after him
His face pales. You wouldn’t! That would be the end of me. If rumour ever even made its way to my ex wife Ivana she would have me strung from the corners of the continent! Fine! 75 gold each for you blood thirsty bastard me to stay quiet and I’ll find honourable and honest work for the war forged if they show themselves at the estate. He snaps his fingers and Vishtai throws a bag with 375 gold on the desk Take your blood money and get out.
Purses and bellies fattened by the nobles food and money you leave the Unicorn Estate. Making your way out of Mithral Towers towards the dock to grab a lift to Trevick’s Landing taking only a few minutes. You stand on the sky dock when a familiar voice calls to you over the din of the crowd. “Need a lift?” asks Sergeant Vilroy as she descends toward you in a skycoach.
She beckons you to mount the sky coach. The sky coach appears to be a small boat designed for no more than about 10 people, where you would expect to see the mast however there is a wooden rectangular stump with a hatch. This contains the mechanism that powers the vessel and keeps it aloft. Behind that is a traditional looking helmsman station with boat wheel.
Come now 75 is too much! Surely the gratitude of House Orien and 50 gold crowns is a reasonable deal?
Do I look like I care about the respect of some pompous house? Eoni says, talking with her mouth full, Come on, let’s say 75.
Persuasion 26
Diomedes, who had been sitting almost motionless, turns to Orien and speaks, his metallic monotone voice almost sounding to have a hint of coyness,
What good sir, would you like me to say of the level of your involvement in my next report back to my master at House Jorasco?

Leowin glances to Diomedes in surprise.
I like gold. Let's not give up the gold.
Turning to Alden, his smile drops away, and his voice takes on a menacing tone.

Leowin's face resumes its bland, broad smile.
Thanks brother. You look after that kid ok? Or I'll be back with some of the friends. One of them's a bit bigger than Scales here. You get me?
Rollo laughs at the ongoing extortion, slipping some extra food into his pockets whilst smoking another halfling spliff
Eoni gets up from the table, still munching on a chicken leg and does an over the top curtsey as she takes her leave.

Leowin nods towards Vilroy, wearing his usual smile.
Hey. We might could do with a lift, yeah. We're heading to Lower Tavick's Landing. Do you fly this thing?
Yes babe I can fly this thing! What’s at Lower Tavicks Landing?

So what’s the plan when we arrive? Rollo asks the group
Leowin looks over to Rollo.
Mingle. Spend some gold. Find someone to have a talk with?
