Dasim makes a halfhearted attempt to hold his tongue and keep an incredulous look from his face upon hearing the strangers offer. While Morrigan seems to quickly accept the stranger's offer, the young Kariv is not so quickly sold and lets his feelings override his earlier sense of diplomacy.

"Ten gold per month?" The rider says surprised and dismayed. His previously friendly face clouds over with a frown. "Surely you can't call that well compensated and be serious? I've met many a caravan guard or driver crossing the plains and even the lowliest of them make a gold coin per day." With a slight snort he adds, "And they weren't being hired to keep things...confidential."

He turns to Aragoth, knowing the dwarf was just recently a guard on a caravan. "Surely you were paid more on your journey from the north?"

The dwarf was happy he wasn't the first to exclaim about the pay quickly piping in along with Dasim "Aye, I was. Tis' hardly safe tah travel around with valuables in the north, It aint much less round these parts either. I'd expect more.. less we be transferring lost cane to the candy king in the land o' sweets" Aragoth chortled a bit and nodded in agreement with the human. Now Aragoth had been payed more on previous trips yes, of course not for the current trip.. as he hadn't exactly completed it.. but still.

He turned toward Morrigan lowering his voice as he eyed her. "Don't be so quick to trow yerself in tah fire lassy. he pauses looking back towards the strange cloaked man. "I surely expect more, especially with such small detail about the trip itself..."

Morrigan felt her cheeks burn a little at the dwarf's admonishment. She inclines her head slightly to him and murmers. "As you say. Perhaps I was a bit hasty?" Certainly judging by both the dwarf's and Dasim's reaction she had been.

Tapping one finger on the table top, she was feeling a bit foolish and was still blushing beneath the hood of her cloak as she considered. Truth was, the gold had seemed extravagant compared to what she had been used to in the Margreve, and also the chance at obtaining answers far outstripped her monetary considerations. Truth was also such that, while she may technically have many centuries on even the eldest of those present, saving perhaps the one from the shadows, she was still in some ways as inexperienced and naive as a girl fresh off her parent's farm. The intricacies of the economics of this day and age appeared to be one of these ways, even if it was a simple matter of going wages of caravan guards.

Perhaps I should let them negotiate the pay, or at least see what comes of this...and learn from it.


Heroden seems amused at the exchange regarding the payment rates, as he is smiling but nonetheless nodding affirmatively as opinions are spoken - he does not add a comment for now, simply signaling to the barmaid for another round of whatever is being drank.

He then nods to the others - "I always find that negotiations are better carried out when the throat is not dry" - he comments.


BUMP!

I'm having trouble posting on Paizo most days, so this is going to go more slowly than I would wish.

"Ah, well - I was informed that the usual price is 3 pieces of silver per day. I'm afraid that I can't go beyond what I offered. Of course, you are free to decline my offer and seek other employment."

Dasim scowls at the mans unwillingness to move his price, however, he could feel the lightness of his coin purse and there few other immediate prospects. However, not all was lost. Changing his frown into a light smile he says lightly, "Well, it seems who ever gave you this advice may have been slightly misinformed. However, you are in a hurry...and I would venture not interested in seeking new aid. For myself, I rather not spend my days pounding the muddy streets of the city for other work." He nods politely to the others and then turns back to the stranger. "Perhaps there is an additional arrangement we can come to? It seems you expect trouble during this job. With this in mind I suggest that in return for our base pay and services, we also get first claim to all goods, coin, weapons, or other items of value that result from our employment. In return we keep to ourselves, mention nothing of the job, and agree to work for you in the capacity of guards during your journey."

The Kariv looks to Morrigan, Aragoth and then Heroden. "It is a gamble on our part to expect that a certain amount of....loot...might be forthcoming. However, something tells me this will not be a simple, easy job without risk. The odds seem high that other coin will cross our path. What say you? Is this agreeable to all?"

Morrigan nods her agreement. "That does seem more reasonable. Greater danger, greater reward. I would agree to those terms."

Turning to the man across the table, she adds, "Further, Dasim's proposal has the added benefit in that it costs you nothing additional out of pocket."


"It does seem like a balanced offer" - Heroden pipes in.

Grumbling quite a bit about the turn of things the dwarf weighed his options. " I suppose we all gotta start somewhere... If it can't be bartered then deal with it.."

"Very well. It is settled, then. I leave tomorrow. You will be informed where we travel first after we leave the city. Any questions? If not, let us part then..."

With a final nod, Dasim accepts the offer and takes another sip of his drink. When the stranger is set to leave Dasim stands with him and offers a slight bow of the head, "I hope our journey together is profitable and successful. I assume we meet here at first light tomorrow?"

"At the gate, I believe our employer did say, though he did not specify the exact time. Which was my only remaining question, I believe. Is first light the desired time of meeting?"
