Player. Come here.

I know your background. Know Derot, see? Heard you worked with him on a couple of jobs back in Ishalgen. Heard you weren't averse to making to the odd bit of Kinah on the side.

Player: "That was then. Why do you ask?"

Why do you think? You think I actually care about Lukmann's "judgments?"

I heard about this place, see? Heard it was full of treasure, and all you needed was time, and a good Daeva to work with.

A week later old Lukmann walks into the Apellbine, and starts talking to me. Tells me he wants to head into Brusthonin and crack some skulls. Tells me he wants to enter Adma Castle. Tells me he needs help....

Player: "So you signed up."

Exactly.

I've put up with his preaching for long enough now--I want to get what treasure is inside that castle and get back to Pandaemonium. All I need is some help. Your help.

What do you say? We'll split the profits fairly.

Player: Accept.

Heh. Saw it, that glint in your eye. Figured you'd agree to help.

Right, there are four treasures I've learned about. So you find Spirit Seeds, an Ornate Necklace, a Golden Goblet, and an Old Gold Coin, and we'll be set for life.

What are you waiting for? Go!

Player: "Wait here."

Keep your voice down. I think Lukmann might be on to me.

Did you get the stuff? Did you get everything?

Player: "You tell me. Here."

I'll tell you all right. This isn't everything. What've you got between your ears--mush?

You were supposed to find Spirit Seeds, an Ornate Necklace, a Golden Goblet, and an Old Gold Coin, remember?

Don't think for one minute I'll leave before they're all in my cube, not after everything I've gone through since we set up in this hole.

Player: "Fine. I'll be back soon."

I'll tell you all right...this is bang on the money!

Haha! Poor old Lukmann. He doesn't have a clue what's going on, see? He's all justice and judgment. He's all blood and guts.

Me though...I prefer cold, hard Kinah, just like you. Here's your cut. Maybe we can together again sometime.
