The half-elf scuttles over, unable to hide his interest. 'So, what's all this?'

The half-elf scuttles over, unable to hide his interest. 'So, what's all this?'
The strugel pipes up, the table coming up to his chin. "Lord Braafheid requests that you become an associate. All this means is that he'll pay you to give his Lordship's organization any tips that might be important. As you are probably the only guy who can interact freely with rodents, his Lordship's rates are competitive." The stoat pulls out a chair for the half-elf. "His Lordship offers you the honor to eat from his table."

"His Lordship offers you the honor to eat from his table."
'And what is this Lord Braafheid like?'
The death knight signs a single word: "Me."
The strugel clears his throat. "His Lordship prefers not to speak, lest he say something foolish. As a figure of great power and authority, his Lordship could cause much harm should a slip of the tongue occur. I am his Lordship's aide, the one who speaks. My words mean little in comparison, as I am an interpreter, simply a servant."

'Ok, ok. It's just that I've never heard of this Lord Braafheid before. Didn't want to sign myself away to a demon or a tyrant'

"His Lordship avoids the use of force unless absolutely necessary. It fortunately rarely comes to that." He smiles. "The Struktura Group is hardly tyrannical. We... create and relocate value in unconventional ways, but we do less harm than most companies." The death knight pats the strugel on the head.

"Of course not. We don't need to sign anything right now. You tip us off, and we pay you in gold based on how valuable the information was. Of course, there'll be a fixed pay as well to make sure you don't go running off without warning us. You're going to be a very important asset for His Lordship's organization, should you choose to accept."

"Exactly! It took ages for his Lordship's scouts to find anyone with it, and you were the best option out of the three candidates. No offense, but vermin-speakers are typically maladjusted and misanthropic. It is rare for them to be as socially capable as you, even with their chosen companions. The centipede hag we considered, for example was... far from nice to her arthropods." He shudders.

'Well, I'd say I'm a nice guy. Rats are kinda social creatures, that's what everyone forgets. Half the reason they're so dang good at infesting places is cause they come in groups. What kinda info ya looking for?'

"Oh, things like... people moving stuff through the sewers, supernatural events, anything you feel is important to tell an authority. And Struktura Group wants to be first to know, before even the guards." He reaches out to try and pet the rat, but his arms are too short even when stretching.

He pets it gently with his fat paws. "He's a cute one..." He murmurs.

"Fabulous. His Lordship knew you were the best choice. I was a bit doubtful when I read what sparse information we had on you, but I'm very confident in His Lordship's judgement."
