Yes, money. Exactly what I wanted. How did you know?

Your offering does you honor.

Your offering does you honor.

Your offering does you honor.

Your offering does you honor.

Your offering does you honor.

Your offering does you honor.

Alright, you want the key? Just don't tell Ondres Nerano I did this, not that he doesn't deserve it with what he pays me.

Sharing is good, %PCName. I like sharing.

Yes, %PCName, that may be some help.

You are generous, %PCName. And your judgment is good.

This is suitable, %PCName.

Everyone can always use some extra coin. What do you need?

Well, %PCName, if you insist, I must not refuse.

Very well, %PCName. I'll see what can be done.

You're too kind, %PCName. I can't refuse such a friendly gesture.

Well, that's thoughtful, %PCName. I'll take it into consideration.

I hear you, %PCName.

I suppose we can talk more.

It's a start. What else you got?

Alright, maybe you have something worth saying. Take it downstairs.

Alright, I suppose I can offer a cut for Drissa Vendil. As long as she is willing for cooperation with me and my bosses, she will remain in the share.

Yeah, okay, I do take bribes.

Thank you. Your donation will be put to good use. Now, about the Spirit of Neen...

I suppose I could use this gold in my experiments. Thank you.

Ooo ooo?

Your gold harvests my soul.

I'm not sure what I need with material currency anymore but I appreciate the gesture!

Mmhmm!

[%Name happily takes your money.]

I have no use for money, but I appreciate your intentions.

I think we understand each-other, %PCName. I'll let your friend out when the time's right. You should probably move along now.

What do I care, after all. Just take the worthless creature with you if you so desire and do with it whatever you wish.

Hmph. Well, I will keep the gold if you truly insist, %PCName, but I must admit it does not improve my impression of your character.

Why you had clung to these is beyond me.

Quit waving your coins in my face, fool.

Ha. I will take your money, but put it to good use among the poor. Do not think such bribes will gain you any favor with me, Telvanni. No; instead, you have simply proven your base removal from all real relations with others.

Ooh shiny. Give more.

Well, this is a delight. If nothing else a little gold makes this seem so much less of a waste of time. Very well, outlander. You have my vote.

You sure know how to please me. Very well, I'll tell you something I think could be of help. The governor of Arvud actually has little influence of what's going on at the outpost. Instead, it's her steward, Armas Tyravel, who's in charge of the trade, so I'd talk to him instead. He works at her manor in Arvud.

Thank you, %PCName. This will do just fine. Now, I take it you wish to join House Hlaalu?

Alright, this suits me just fine. You can have the booze if you want. Tell your friends that they are free to go.

Now you're speaking my language. Yes, I've spoken to Nimbelor. Fetcher said he was gonna try his luck with the smugglers in Berantus.

Alright, that's more like it. Your donation to our organization is appreciated. Now, what was it you wanted to know about those corprus resist potions?

Clever idea. It's a good start, but I'll need to see more gold before we can talk about your missing corprus resist potions.

Thank you for the gold, but I cannot sell you Swept-Ashes.

You have completed the pilgrimage to the Shrine of Conviction, pilgrim. I no longer have need of your gifts. But I thank you.

Your gods are generous, pilgrim. Pray now at the shrine to receive their blessing.

Your gift to the Shinathi tribes speaks well of your gods, pilgrim.

House Hlaalu once again shows its true colors. Honor isn't for sale, outlander.

So typical of your kind. You think everything can be bought and sold. Goods, services, loyalty, morals, and even people. %Name spits at you.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Very good. You're free to leave, then. If you ever find serjo Selvilo, give him my regards.

We speak the same language, friend. I just need a little bit more convincing.

I've got enough money for now, thanks.

I love seeing outlanders put their money where their mouth is. Fine. You have my word I won't try to recruit Saelin again.

Well, when you put it that way. Here's your letter and package. I'll handle clearing up the paperwork. It was only a minor clerical error anyway.

There we go. I knew we could make a solid deal. You're lucky to have run into me, outlander. If it had been anyone else... it could have been Bal Foyen all over again. So just take this as a warning, n'wah -- the Camonna Tong never forgets when someone breaks a deal. We had an understanding, and your guild, in their hubris, blew it. Mervis Llarel, the bosses at the Fortuna -- they're all looking for you, and all it will take is one tiny slip-up before your cover is blown. Now go before someone notices us.

Splendid. I will begin petitioning right away. Though I warn you, the order to halt the repair last time came from the Vizier's office. He will be difficult to convince, but it is imperative that you sway his mind if you want success. Pleasure doing business with you, outlander.

Here's what I can tell you. Very few know the location of the stash. It is guarded and locked, and no one but the Tong's elite enforcers is allowed inside. Lloden Dadrys, the local head of the Camonna Tong, has the key from it. He's in the Council Club. You also might do well to look into Dalin Kren. He's a local Camonna Tong enforcer, and responsible for guarding the stash, but he's been lying low for some time. Hasn't been seen around. His friends in the Council Club might know more.

We are the people of the Triune, pilgrim. Imperial fortune finds no purchase here.
