Yeah, that's right. We've been working non-stop for months now, and yet apparently the profit of the mine has been going down. How does that make any sense? I tell you, it's Mirisun Varen and Azariah Thelas. They've got a big plot going on together, to steal ebony from the mine. I'd bet Mirisun is working us over-time in order to get more ebony than we need, so he and Azariah can skim some off the top, and then that 'accountant' fiddles the figures to make it seem like nothing's going on.

After everything you've done? Get out of my sight and be grateful that I don't kill you on the spot, %PCRank.

I know you're working with Mistress Rathra, %PCRank. I've got nothing to say to you.

No longer, no longer. Your aid was truly invaluable, %PCName. If ever you should need something from me, I am in your debt.

As it stands, yes. With your intervention, perhaps these problems may come to an end.

You spoke rather clearly enough on that matter, %PCName.

Impudent wretch. Begone!

Very well. The sooner you make your decision, however, the better.

Good choice, %PCName. For your first task, I would like you to go and find the mine's accountant, Azariah Thelas, in his house here in Ranyon-ruhn, and do whatever it is he deems necessary. I will call for you when I can think of something more constructive for you.

Have you made up your mind already, %PCName?

But first, let's make one thing very clear. I won't work with anyone who's in any way associated with Mistress Rathra of Tel Ouada. The woman cannot be trusted under any circumstances, and same goes for her servants. Likewise, she harbors no love for me, so you'll work for either me or her. I won't press you into making a decision, %PCName. Please feel free to think it through at your leisure.

Hmmm. Yes, alright, I see you know what you are talking about. The income from the ebony mine has indeed been tailing off. You have also proven your worth in House Telvanni, and, for that reason, I would be willing to let you act on my behalf to help solve the problems facing Ranyon-ruhn. The question is, are you willing to work with me?

Hmmm. Yes, alright, I see you know what you are talking about. The income from the ebony mine has indeed been tailing off. But I'm afraid I just couldn't trust someone like you to work with me. I barely know you, and you haven't proven yourself in House Telvanni. Come back when you reach the rank of Lawman. Meanwhile, you can discuss chores with my Mouth, Nevrile Omayn, in Port Telvannis.

Hmmm. Yes, alright, I see you know what you are talking about. The income from the ebony mine has indeed been tailing off. But I'm afraid I just couldn't trust someone like you to work with me. I barely know you, and you aren't even a member of House Telvanni.

Was that your doing in the mine? Gruesome, but, well, effective. Now, if you're headed to Mistress Rathra, do encourage her to take charge sooner rather than later. Mithras is measured, yes... I'd rather not be on the receiving end of one of his principled decisions.

With the massacre in the mines, I struggle to imagine how it could be worse.

Well, yes. You see, the income from the mine, the mainstay of our local economy, has been dropping off recently. Master Mithras seems awfully concerned about it.
