Clifford let himself relax a little and considers a little before replying
'The main reason was indeed to get your permission . I guess the other reason was to ensure I was not known to you as an Apache gangmember but rather as one who knew that good business goes with respect and rules.
As for the late hour , it's indeed my fault , I keep irregular hours and just thought to ask for a later appointment with you during the day but I must have made myself unclear to your staff .
Finally, I've always thought that having two employers for the same job is an unsound business practice. This might work for con artists who hightail from the town as soon as they receive the money but I'm here to stay .'
With the holidays , I'll be far from my computer till monday. Feel free to make the character act if necessary

The snake lunges once again at Makoa, and again its fangs find his flesh, this time more potently .

At the first possible moment, he will approach Makoa. "Makoa, you will need to be strong to resist the poison in your body. My touch can give you strength if you'll let me."
After that Hezekiah will try to help Jagor tend to Sam.

"Makoa smash, good! Makoa OK where snake bite?"
"Magic-man, Jagor see something. You take care pretty girl?"

"I don't know, Jagor, but I'm sure Saul does. We should show him the note immediately. There isn't much more we can to until Clifford and Ghorum return."
At the Gold Goblin:
Jagor nods at Hezekiah's suggestion and bends down to pick up the unconscious woman. "Jagor carry pretty girl so she not on floor anymore. Where Jagor take her?"
At the River Runner:
The two of you are escorted back downstairs and out of the inn.
When Ghorum and Clifford return to the Goblin, the casino is still surprisingly active, with most of the guards and even some of the serving staff still there and awake. It quickly turns out that, shortly after they left, a snake - Jagor and Makoa can both identify it as a "cindersnake," a poisonous serpent common to the uplands east of Riddleport - was found in a wicker basket someone placed in the kitchen, along with a threatening note aimed at Saul. Saul himself is in a towering rage, swearing violently that he will not be intimidated and will not put up with this sort of behavior.
Samaritha Beldusk, the tattooed half-elf with the apparent knack for needing rescue, has been injured by the snake, but Ghorum's ministrations quickly have her back on her feet, albeit a little woozy.
While Ghorum is treating Sam, Mavrielle finds Clifford. "Did you talk to Slyeg? What did he say?"

We are still not sure we'll take the job
Just for information , do you know what your father look like ?

Mavrielle frowns in frustration. "Why not? Is it the money? Because I'm sure you could manage a reward or something, and just looting the gang would likely be worth a ton of gold."
Just for information , do you know what your father look like ?
"...no," she sighs. "I've never been able to talk to anyone who can tell me anything about his appearance these days. He's apparently a quick-change artist, or has some disguise magic, or something."
Jagor hovers as his erstwhile patient is tended to by someone with some skill, explaining in his broken Common what he did and why, at least until Ghorum asks him to kindly "Shut UP!"
Once she is one her feet, he will offer to steady her back down the stairs. "Sam need help down stairs? Jagor right here!"
Once Mavrielle has left , I'll try to contact everyone and ask them if they are ready to go ?
"Me ready."
I'm game, but I might want to replenish my spells.
"Oh, Jagor ready! What Jagor ready for?"
"Oh, Jagor ready! What Jagor ready for?"
"Me think we get ready for knee-breakin. We wait too long to mash rapist."
FYI, it's about 5 in the morning at this point. I'll assume Ghorum has also stitched Makoa back together a bit as well, so he's down some spells and channels as well, though he still will have some also - if you guys are going now, I'll figure out how much he's got left, or he can post again and tell me.
Clifford looks a little taken aback then embarrassed
' Must be more tired than I thought. Of course , Hezekiah , we'll wait for you to be ready . Do you need some more days to recopy spells ? There is after all no hurry. The better prepared we are , the more chance we'll have to succeed '
I'm happy with the spells I got, thank you. I just need my beauty sleep.
Yes
Though Makoa and Jagor might not be entirely comfortable with the delay, you all manage to get some sleep. Saul is willing to let you have the day off, partly on Larur's recommendation, though you get the impression the dwarf has not filled him in on all the specifics just yet.
Ok we'll keep the plan simple ,
Me , Makoa and Jagor will go to the hospice openly . Jagor , Makoa , I want you to speak very very bad common and frenquently orc if you speak the language . I'll reply in shoanti .
The story is Jagor is looking for his woman Kamalia who did a flit . He and his friend Makoa did hire me to find her and I heard she may be in the hospice .
Jagor , Makoa , I want you to play on the bad perception people have of demi orcs , stupid , brutish , evil .
This is thin but simple and should allow us to come and check the place and separate the ones who are armed from the real beggars .
Hezekiah and Ghorum should be in a nearby street prepared to come running if it all goes south .

"Jagor speak good Common!" "Jagor look for Kah-may-lee-ah. You see Jagor woman?"
Shall we proceed , gentlemen ?

Standing halfway down a muck-smeared alley, sandwiched between a derelict wainwright's shop and a bakery, stands a dilapidated tenement. A crooked belltower rises from the building's rear, and a half-dozen grease-smeared, cracked, and boarded over windows gaze out from walls that might once, decades ago at least, have been white. A small sign hangs over the building's battered oak front doors: "St. Casperian's Salvation - All Welcome."
Flagstone steps beneath the sign climb to an open foyer hung with a pair of weatherbeaten double doors. Two smaller doors flank the main entrance, both covered with graffiti. The southern door has a sign that reads, "Flophouse: upstairs and take a left." The word "left" is crossed out, and scrawled next to it is the word "hike." The other door has a homemade sign that reads, "All rooms taken."
Behind the mission sits an overgrown courtyard surrounded by a low stone wall. A path leads from the alley, between the wainwright's shop and the mission, through a rusted iron gate and up to a pair of boarded doors. A loan oak stands in the corner of the courtyard.
Traffic in the alleyway at this time of day is light, and you see no one nearby as you approach the mission.
Makoa will walk in, disregarding the sign entirely.
Makoa will walk in, disregarding the sign entirely.
I'll stick to the plan and wait outside with Ghorum, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible.
