Why Half-Orcs Don't Read Emily Post

Responds Sargeant Einian of the constables "I think he ought to take more responsability for his mess, but I wouldn't say never come back, no." He is eyeing Fast Eddie as he says this. (Make a Sense Motive check DC 13)

Scowlen states "There is no map, and no one knows what's down there. One of the things the workers were supposed to be doing is mapping. The city has built on top of old drains, and older drains, and older drains. There was an earthquake 200 years ago that shifted things around, and in the middle of the Last War a whole bunch of blueprints disappeared. Then, during the seige, a group of warforged soldiers caused some damage down there when the city was being overrun by Thrane. The long of the short of it is, nobody knows." (And again the DM, or GM, suggests that you read the background materials.)

Edward Rendell "The name is Edward, you uncouth half-breed. And no, I will not be dredging myself through the muck, I have other - responsibilities. And before you go believing the slander, slander I say! - that my detractors say about me, the vicious, cutting, untruths that have those poor females all in a tizzy, I suggest that you think about what jealous people say, and think about whether the town council has been straight with me!" (Sense Motive check, I'm not telling the DC this time.) (He is also gesturing a lot in anger while he does this, and you may notice something. Spot check DC 15.)

(You can use action points for skill checks, but I advise you not to at this juncture.)

Einian: "I was there when the Thrane soldiers were storming through. While I was but a teen, I saw them living constructs. Ugly things. They had most of the sewer jobs, going in, fighting our own tunnel rats, popping up behind our lines. No problems with stench or disease, them. What they stirred up, opened up, who knows. I don't trust them, and I don't trust any magic of theirs that might bleed out of them."

Scowlen: "Warforged are living beings, Sargeant. Free, sentient beings. The Treaty of Thronehold stated so."

Einian: "Doesn't mean I want them living in my city."

Edward, aka Fast Eddie: "Reward, yes, 200 gold, don't you think that that is more than enough? 200 gold to find the men, all of them, dead or alive, and stop the menance or menances."

Einian: "And if you do find The Fingerer - that's what we're calling the serial killer - if you do find him down there as we think he may be using it as a base, on his head the reward is 200 gold as well."

Both amounts are quite a lot in the Eberron economy.

Scowlen: "I might be able to help you with a few items, if you are actually taking the job." (No Sense Motive check needed, Scowlen is prepared to help equip you.)
