Shoppers might have noticed a new flyer now hanging prominently above the counter in the general store:
Mr. Nehru replies calmly after searching through his ledger.ChubbyPixie wrote:"Oh, I see..." says Chauncey, a bit disappointed. "Well, I suppose I'd better secure the best, eh, of that type that you can manage." He hands over five golden coins."One on the end, if you please. I'll need as much quiet as can be managed... for my studies." He frowns. "At this rate, my funds will soon be depleted. Is there any means of gainful employment on the island for a man of my peculiar talents?"
Nehru holds out his hand to collect the coins.Nuke66 wrote:Raythan
Raythan also hands over 5 gold for a room. He thinks to himself than he could commission his own shack for about as much.
OOC: man you guys move fast!

I guess I'm sleepin' rough for a while. Luther says, obviously not bothered by the idea.
Mr. Nehru- has anyone made a good, reliable map of the island? If not, I'm thinking I might do it.
"Hmmm." replies Chauncey. "Interesting proposition. I think this could be managed, yes - with the proper team assembled. Not to be crass, but what sort of monetary recompense are we talking about, sir, in totality, and for what exact result? Information only? Eradication?"OGRE MAGE wrote:"Thank you Mr. Chauncey. And, welcome to Big Shiny Island!
If it is work that you are seeking, I do have one issue that needs investigating if you feel up to it. Its these damn undead that keep coming into town. I have no idea where they are coming from and lack the time to investigate it properly myself. If you would like to look into that for me, I would offer a small reward for any information that you could obtain about it. The amount would depend on the detail of information, of course. Does that sound like something that might interest you, sir?"
Mr. Nehru gives the gnome an astonished look when he discusses trying to undermine his business right in front of him. He flicks through the bag of colored stones with a slight hint of interest. He picks one up for a closer look and responds.Bluetongue wrote:Ferris the gnome,
Lifts a pouch of egg shaped stones, emptying it onto the office desk. "These came from here I am lead to believe, most worthless but nice smoothed quartz, calcite, this here a piece of red granite. Where are the 'shinies' this island is reputed to have? Got a fancy heavy pick and a strong arm for digging?" Ferris looks at the state of the office and chief Nehru, not convinced that a motherlode as yet been found.
"Is that 5 gold pieces for the shack or 5 gold pieces for the bed in the shack?" he asks Mr Nehru then in an aside to the Adequate he says, "Rough camp on the dock for a week and save the gold, buy enough wood to build your own and then rent out space to under cut these prices. Are you in with me?"
"Well, Eradication would certainly be worth more to me than a simple investigation. I will pay you 100 gold coins if you can find the source and put a stop to it. Does that sound fair to you sir?"ChubbyPixie wrote:"Hmmm." replies Chauncey. "Interesting proposition. I think this could be managed, yes - with the proper team assembled.
