[Game Thread] The Atea Gem

[TheJeanyus]

"You're assuming they want to work for us." Eran chides. "Let us not be so hasty. Please, what are your names? and might you be interested in employment?" He doubts they will really end up having too much choice in the matter, it would be risky to let the go, and it from the sounds of it they wouldn't do well outside. Still, it seemed right to at least offer them a choice.

[AwesomeEllie]

They introduce themselves as Fron and Hilda, and they look eager at the thought of employment, although it is more akin to hunger than any true eagerness. Fron states that while he isn't very skilled in much, he could definitely help with any manual labor, and from what it sounds like, Hilda actually has a small amount of magical talent, although not a whole lot.

Munshin nodded at that, and pulled out...a couple more packets of his gold coins he keeps. He handed a bundle to each (5 gold for each of them). "This is payment for the information, as well as a small front for potential services rendered. We shall get back to you on the work aspect one we have determined what we are doing about the others."

With that, he'd motion the others to leave the room for now, so they can talk a bit more discreetly together. "I don't care to go in blindly, but if they are that offset by their own product, I would prefer to get them out of the way as soon as possible while we're securing ourselves in. Drugged or not, enforcers may not be as muddled as those that have been around and more dangerous."

This might be one of those points their spooky friend might be handy for snooping.

Roan introduces himself to the couple in turn, then turns and leaves along with Munshin. "Agreed, I believe me and our friend shade here are more than a match for most, but perceptions aren't all they're cracked up to be. But we've still half our list to work though, let's continue on, shall we? The Dragon Maws can wait for a few more hours while we sort through our new holdings I'm sure."

[Nevrend]

"Alright, were to next?" The shade asks, making no acknowledgement to the compliment. In truth, the summoning that brought him to this world had severed a fairly large portion of his power. He ins't about to admit that though.

[AwesomeEllie]

There are two rooms left, 113082 and 200021!

[Andramal]

Munshin would be fine with just doing the next one that comes up, if they're doing them 'in order' or the like. So many rooms split up! It would be interesting how they would deal with that.

[Duderlybob]

200021 it is!

[TheJeanyus]

"Perhaps we should go to 113082 first, it's on the way anyways." Eran had no desire to go up or down more stairs than were strictly necessary. In fact, if they ended up using rooms on far floors of the building he would have to design some form of rig to make the journey easier. His eyes glazed over as his thoughts filled with pulleys and gears.

[Duderlybob]

(Works for me then, I just figured if we're at the 4th floor, the 2nd would be closest, but I haven't looked at the map layout for a bit. I think we're all in agreement of "whichever one is closest!")

[TheJeanyus]

(I believe we're on the 45th floor. 113082 will be on the 113th and 200021 will be on the 200th.)

[Duderlybob]

(Ooooooh! Thanks for the clarification, I was being an idiot and just looking at the last number and assigning it as the floor. Probably should've noticed the numbers were getting bigger.)

[AwesomeEllie]

Upon doggedly going up 68 more floors, the group minus Morvian feels decently worn out, but arrive at the room successfully! The door is shut, with a single doorknob and keyhole. The door also looks a bit more expensive than the previous doors, as well as being a lot better kept.

Eran sets about

examining the door for traps, locks and the like. If someone more skilled wants to look it over he will shift to aiding them, and assuming they find nothing, he knocks on the door.

Roan also examines the door.
