More wanted posters for Specimen 084 are being put up. The reward for its capture is now 50,000 gold.
*i’m happy to oblige. Drama’s the best*
“Fifty thousand? What’d they do, kill his mom? I never did ask…” Dey pockets one of the posters
Examining the poster more closely, Dey sees that in addition to the reward for the specimen's capture, there is also a 500 gold reward for any information on its location.
“Seriously? They need to get offworld soon.” He looks for a person or an address to send information to.
At the bottom of the poster, it says, "Send any information to us through this incantation:" it then lists a series of letters in common, to be chanted in a private place.

A trail of black blood leads to an emaciated dragonborn with white and green scales and gold-tipped horns, hunched over a corpse in an alley. Toxic, eye-watering fumes fill the air around them as they hum to themselves.

Fives follows the blood. "Hey, what are you doing?" They don't seem to mind the toxic fumes.
They look back at Fives. They've got big, round glasses, and they wear a white apron, gloves, and a surgical mask all made of the same soft fabric. The rest of their clothes are exceedingly normal, with a white polo shirt and beige slacks. They're referencing a book while picking at the dead abomination with a hunting knife, their gloves dripping with ichor. Upon closer inspection, the corpse is a large, six-limbed creature that seems to be stuffed into a human's skin.
"Fascinating, wouldn't you say?" They pull out one of the legs. "It seems to be a skinwalker of some sort. Not what you'd usually think of, but it fits the bill. I wonder how it tastes?"

"and why are you offering me that? what do you hope to gain?"
“Trust is a two way street.”
"so you want my trust. more than that, you want awnsers. I don't want to give them up. to anyone. there's a reason they're secret"
“And you, for some reason, think I’m lying. What I could gain from that only the archdevils know.”
"I'm suspicious"
“What have I done to earn that suspicion!”
"for starters, i dont like you, I'm not sure what that is" she points at the pistol "but it looks to be a weapon, you lied to me once about kaia, and I don't know if you're lying again, and you're prying into my secrets, when we've only talked once before! we don't know eachother."
“You not liking me isn’t a valid point. This. Is a pistol. It’s like a crossbow. When did I lie to you about Kaia? As you are prying into mine. Talking once means we know each other.”
"so it is a weapon. you played into the act she was putting on, lead me to believe you, and her coaches had some kind of hold over her, no, you asked me to follow you, told me it was an act, then proceeded to interrogate me, and no. it doesn't. it takes more than that. and its perfectly reasonable to distrust someone you don't like!"
“That act is the only way we earn anything off of her duels. Of course I play along. I helped come up with it! I was under the impression that revealing truths to people was considered kind, because you appeared very concerned for her and I wanted you to stop worrying. And yes. Having met before makes it fact that we know each other. How well is debatable, but we certainly know each other. And you have no valid reason to dislike me.”
"please, I've seen her fight. you don't need that act to get bettors"
“Sure, any random peasant with enough skill can draw a gambler or two, but a gambler or two can’t provide enough funds to actually live.”
"I would say she has enough skill to warrant more than one or two, but I see what you mean. however, these games are bet on very heavily. odds are, those bettors, even if it is only one or two, will drop very heavily"

At the bottom of the poster, it says, "Send any information to us through this incantation:" it then lists a series of letters in common, to be chanted in a private place.
Pokemon Master, Hero of Hyrule, Jedi Knight, Minecrafter, Celestial Being Beyond Comprehension, Bounty Hunter, Salmon Runner, Nailmaster, Yarn Yoshi Enjoyer, Animal Lover, Math Rock Roller, Nerd King in all Aspects.
(And, of course, Dragon Tamer. It is in the name, after all!)
I'd rather be gaming.
*I'm open for an rp right now if you want*

*Epic! I'll take you up on that offer!*
A trail of black blood leads to an emaciated dragonborn with white and green scales and gold-tipped horns, hunched over a corpse in an alley. Toxic, eye-watering fumes fill the air around them as they hum to themselves.
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
Forever burdenless and terminally live!
He takes the poster to his room at the Sphinx, then speaks the incantation

A shadowy figure pops into existence in front of him, appearing out of a cloud of smoke. "What do you have to share on the specimen?"

Fives follows the blood. "Hey, what are you doing?" They don't seem to mind the toxic fumes.

“I’m a resident of Falshee. I just saw your specimen 084 cram itself into a barrel being loaded onto a ship headed for Meras.”

They look back at Fives. They've got big, round glasses, and they wear a white apron, gloves, and a surgical mask all made of the same soft fabric. The rest of their clothes are exceedingly normal, with a white polo shirt and beige slacks. They're referencing a book while picking at the dead abomination with a hunting knife, their gloves dripping with ichor. Upon closer inspection, the corpse is a large, six-limbed creature that seems to be stuffed into a human's skin.
"Fascinating, wouldn't you say?" They pull out one of the legs. "It seems to be a skinwalker of some sort. Not what you'd usually think of, but it fits the bill. I wonder how it tastes?"

"...I see. We'll send someone to check it out. Thank you for your service." The figure disappears back into smoke, leaving behind a large pile of gold coins.

He casts Detect Magic and goes over to the coins, looking specifically for divination magics.

They're probably just normal coins.

"I would say she has enough skill to warrant more than one or two, but I see what you mean. however, these games are bet on very heavily. odds are, those bettors, even if it is only one or two, will drop very heavily"

“Okay. Let’s assume every citizen in Balra currently gets paid 2 gp a day, average wages for a skilled laborer. Let’s also assume they all live modest lives, so half of that goes to their food for the day. That means that they have a single gold left over for maybe a housing payment, or loans, or providing for someone who doesn’t work like a child or an elderly parent, or savings. After all of that, they go to the floor to bet on some duels. And then the floor takes a cut. And then we get the rest. Does that sound like a lot of money?”

“You think of us as charlatans. That we dress our competitors up in costumes and backstories to compensate for a lack of something else. But in truth? You can’t make a living off of low tier duels in mundane armor. She wears those dresses because they make her stand out in the sea of leather and steel. She fights with a halberd and fan because it’s what other people aren’t doing. Sure, if she wore half plate or something then she could use her magic item slots for things that would be functionally better and theoretically make us win more money, but insteat the fact that she wears bright dresses and parries attacks with her arm gives us the best shot at making anything at all. This is why we push her so hard. This is why we have multiple players in the games. We don’t want to leave a single one of them behind, but once you run out of momentum, you’re practically out of the race.”
