"You are being most unfair dragon-blooded. While I cannot expect you to work for nothing, you cannot expect others to work for next to nothing while you take the silver for yourself. I have a suggestion." Irnai finally says. "When I said equal share, it should be completely equal. If this lady," She bows to Shining Bright, "I'm sorry, I was late and could not catch your name, is willing to withdraw her claim, we can split this entire payment into equal shares for each of us. Then we may each be free to do as we like with our share, whether it be to keep or to pass it to someone else. I am willing to give the Firedust to the lady and the silver to the dragon-blooded to feed his men."<br/><br/>She then addresses the men who have come with Kazeira. "I understand that what you will receive from this will be rather little, and I am sorry that it is not enough. But as your leader has pointed out, no doubt the bandits that we attack will have their own treasure. Your company would get an equal share of it as well, and if there is indeed many golden talents as your commander suggests, it would surely be more than enough to clothe and feed all of you with enough leftover for you to be comfortably well-off. Certainly you agree that this would be a good compromise?"<br/><br/>ooc: Oh man, it occured to me while I was writing and I just had to do it. You said it Zaer, if someone can convince your men to be happy working for a mere penny you wouldn't care about the silver.  :P<br/>Here's the roll of Cha+Performance, and yes, I used my good luck:<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=464956<br/>6 successes. Hopefully that's enough...though actually I guess it's more of a roleplaying thing.
