"Less than a Chelaxian lender, I can promise ya that." The little gnome says with a chuckle, and leaves you standing by the doorway while she wanders off to get you your "seed-money."<br/><br/>A moment later, she returns, hefting a small, heavy looking cloth sack.<br/><br/>"Alright. 150 pieces of gold, all ready for yer trip." She grins and tosses you the sack, then walks up to usher you out the chapter-house door. "Now, you be careful out there... the contact is an ex-seeker turned captain-of-the-guards named Sharille. You ask fer her in the guard-house, and tell her that the skies are smilin', and she'll take it from there."<br/><br/>As you walk past, you feel a small hand smack against your rump, and get another cheeky wink from the little gnome.<br/><br/>"Come back here when yer done, so I can collect my money an' the shirt off yer back. Got it, Treehugger?"
