Mei-Li and the hypnotic sway of her hips definitely had the lion's share of the halfling man's attention; he barely spared a glance for Suzaku, even flashing Mei-Li a quick wink.<br/><br/>Suzaku looked more than a little torn, though. "If this was any other game," he conceded. "But... 'wealth beyond treasure', remember?" her boyfriend reminded her.<br/><br/>The halfling gave a derisive snort, waving his hand dismissively. "He probably called it Yrag's Vault without even telling you it had other names. Tomb of the Exalted. Rappan Athuk. They're all one in the same. I'm a merchant, and I plan on setting up camp there," he explained. "Adventurers need equipment." He clapped his hands together, rubbing them, a greedy gleam in his eyes.<br/><br/>"You could take Mirt's way, but it's the long way around, and people have been known to get lost, going that way. Sign on with me, and I guarantee you'll be the first ones to take a crack at Rappan Athuk."<br/><br/>Suzaku looked uncertainly from the halfling to Mei-Li. "... What do you think, Mei-Li? Which of them is telling the truth? Mirt, or –" "Zetaz," the halfling helpfully supplied. "The sooner we set off the better. If you can't say 'yes' now, I'm going to have to try to recruit someone else, though you're my first choice." Those last few words seemed aimed at Mei-Li in particular, and from the lustful look in his eyes, he might have chosen her and Suzaku for reasons other than just protection from bandits.
