The venom thing will do nicely; now we are trading. One question; has then either of your characters actually been to the elven territories, or have you only been meeting with trade parties or individual adventurers of their kin?<br/><br/>And another question, now I think of it: how is the standing of elves in our city - are they seen as sort of above humans, or more like a dubious bunch of exotic foreigners? I don't refer to their actual cultures, only what the local human perception of them is like.<br/><br/>Oh, and Pieter won't mind if Hani ends up on Doryn's lap *grins* he'll see it as a negotiation advantage. Currently my character is becoming a mix of cardinal Richelieu, marquis de Sade and Long John Silver. There is very little he cannot turn into his advantage when he want to.<br/><br/>Heh. What he cannot do is turn into a younger man than Doryn. According to our initial fact sheets Doryn is 29 and Pieter is 40.
