"Good, I'm glad to hear it," prince Nelen said, "And no, I don't have any interest in any more gems.  What I want is something that is both more and less valuable.  A red skinned succubus named Cerra visited our town a few months ago.  While she was here she stole a necklace of seashells from the royal treasury.  The necklace isn't valuable, except that it's a part of the official regalia of my kingdom.  It's embarrassing to lose it, even more so to lose it to a succubus."<br/><br/>He swam in a tight circle, "See while they do not need to breathe, they can visit our city any time they want.  But most don't like the cold or wetness.  So I think she was sent here to steal it.  Bring me back that necklace and I will trade it to you for your sword.   If you bring Cerra back as a captive, I'll throw in something extra to make it worth your time.   Does that sound fair landwalker?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">no, the tribute basically bought you the earring.  Now that you have been 'accepted' by the merfolk, as long as you don't piss them off, you can come and go from their town as you please.</div></div>
