After a brief moment of relaxation at the bar, Xarces would make use of the information he gathered during his earlier efforts. The most promising guide which he had heard of went by the name of Gunthar, Xarces leaving the bar to arrange for the man to meet with the group in order to see what the others thought of bringing him along as a guide. The bard himself had no qualms with trudging through the jungle without a guide, though he could not deny the benefit of having one familiar with the area along for the journey.<br/><br/>Once the arrangements where made, Xarces would make a personal trip to snag Alizome from the bar as he had seen her there earlier and did not want her left out of these negotiations. Though as the man introduces himself to the group, and Alizome responds in turn Xarces would smirk recognizing that she must have had a few more drinks then he himself had witnessed. (Maybe sending her more alcohol before I left wasn't the best idea....) he thinks to himself as he waits for an opportunity to speak himself.<br/><br/>"Gunthar, yes I have heard good things about you. You say you know the area, the natives, and the fauna. All of this information shall certainly prove useful to us in our endeavor. Should we chose to employ your services you shall indeed be compensated. As far as tomb raiding goes, you can likely leave that to us so long as you can safely get us there and back." The bard says layout out the frame work as to what may be expected of everyone.<br/><br/>"Ultimately I shall leave the decision up to my companions, but I will say that there have been a handful of likely candidates that I have come across, and their prices where quite reasonable..... as such I want to know what you may be able to offer us that the others could not? Furthermore how much would your services cost?" Xarces asks the man with the intent to try and whittle him down.<br/><br/>[[[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/118528">Bluff</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+19</span><span style="font-weight: bold">34</span>1d20(15) +19=34  Xarces is of course stretching the truth about the other candidates in the hopes Gunthar will offer to do it for less in fear of losing business]]
