"I wasn't giving orders. At least didn't mean to, sorry if it came out this way.

As for information and paying half up front, it is a tricky thing.
The question is, where can I sell poisons, and sell them well.
The answers could be valued differently. I understand that you need some money for your expanses, but right now even you probably don't know what would be the final price.

Of course, if you have a standard fee... just tell."

"He's a cop. He's trying to get you to say something he can use to arrest us. Let's just get rid of him already."

"I don't think he is, man. Just shut it while I work.

Look, we don't do this stuff often, so there's no set fee. Just tell me what you're willing to pay, and we'll negotiate from there."Gave them colors so it's easier to see who is talking.

"For simple information how to reach somebody, where to find him and how to approach him so I don't get killed, I suppose I could offer 100 gold.
...But if you were to make a deal with somebody in my place, so I can skip the haggle and get a ready stream of orders... and avoid the suspition of being a cop and trying to find info on your bosses... this would be worth much more.
How much... depends on the deal mostly. If I can get materials for a fifth of the base price and sell the ready product for ... lets say 60%... or any other combination which would net me 40%of a base price as profits... and I give you 500 for making the deal. If you can find a better opportunity I would pay more, or maybe you would just take the extra profits yourself..."

This is based on the part where materials for poisons are valued at 1/6th of the price if they are easily accessible.

"I ... um... what?"

All the numbers and different options have obviously confused him.

Lexin

"Hmm... nevermind then. I just thought you would work as a middle man and get the deal ready... but it seems it is not your usual business, so I would settle for basic contact information."

Rizban
2013-03-04, 03:55 PM
"Yeah, I can do contacts."

"Great. 50 gold in advance, 70 after? When I can expect any information?"

Rizban

"I'll have a name for you tomorrow."

Lanakhad nods simply, gives talky man a small pouch with 50 gp and says "Till tomorrow then."

Then he stands up to leave.


Does Read Thoughts tell me how much did I overpay?

Rizban

The Killy one escorts you out silently.

His thoughts appear to be entirely on trying to figure out how to get the contact info. The Killy want still wants your blood.

...what a jolly company...

He goes back to the main street, trying to remember the place so he could easily come back later.

What time is it?

Rizban
2013-03-05, 10:12 AM
Well, you DID ask to find street thugs...It is about 3PM.

Lexin
2013-03-05, 10:31 AM
Yeah, my fault.
(It was the easiest way, that I could think of, to somehow contact criminals from this city... unless they have a guildhouse or something...)

Lanakhad thinks a while about what to do next. He had few potential customers, so it might be a good time to look for information about the city itself...

He tries to remember where he could find a library in the city (or asks a random beggar/ kind looking citizen if he doesn't know)

You need to roll a Knowledge or Gather Information check

Knowledge Local (untrained, so only common knowledge) [roll0]
if it doesn't work he would ask around, as mentioned above

He thinks that there is probably a library at the university he saw not far from the Plaza. He also thinks there's probably one run by one of the knowledge deities in Temple.

"I wonder if there is free access to library in University. ... Worth checking..." he murmurs to himself and tries to once again find his way to university (and library)

Due to being very close to the Plaza and having a rather prominent sign, you easily find it.

A 10ft stone wall surrounds a collection of buildings which take up an entire city block. The thinness of the brick wall indicates that it is intended for privacy rather than security. A large, wrought iron double gate stands open in the front of the campus. A sign above it proudly proclaims "Aldhaven Royal University of Scientific Esoterica".

Now, to library!

Lanakhad walks around the place for a while, looking for a 'Library' sign. If he doesn't find one, he would look for a student, to ask about directions

Rizban

You find a round building near the rear of the campus that is indeed a library.

"Good. First time I found something without asking. Sign of good fortune?" he murmurs to himself as he enters the library.

Rizban
2013-03-13, 06:09 PM
Sorry for the delay. I've been dealing with family members in the hospital.Just inside the library, you see a woman sitting at a desk. She gives you a funny look as you enter and holds out her hand to you.

"Student ID please."

Lexin
2013-03-17, 12:52 PM
No problem, I hope everything is alright now.
Sorry for the delay on my part.
... I... kind of... forgot what I was going to do in the library... Oh well... will think of something...

"Is the university library open only for students?" he asks with confused look on his face.

Rizban
2013-03-18, 06:33 AM
"Students, faculty, and those doing approved research for the faculty."

Lexin
2013-03-18, 09:22 AM
"Oh, then here I am. I am conducting research on topic: "Methods of mathematical evaluation of risk, based on Aldhaven market" and need access to Law Codes, to check the theory first."

Yeah, it is a Bluff... [roll0]
... and a bad one...:smalltongue:

"And do you have your documentation granting you access? You do have authorization, don't you?"

Lexin
2013-03-18, 12:52 PM
"What? You mean I need one of these hundred pieces of paper I was given, just to look around the library?
Not a chance to let me in just today? If I were to go back to look for it I wouldn't manage to come back here today!"


Diplomacy! [roll0]
