The innkeeper grunted as she tried again, sure she was good with her words and he might feel himself warming up to her, but there was the matter of covering his risks that she hadn't yet got to. It was pretty clear he thought, if she had, she would be offering some coin, as most adventurers would, but all right, he was a practical man. If she wanted publicity, he would give her publicity.<br/><br/>"Tell you what, lass. I will brag I got a new girl at my inn who looks like Erosia, and she's putting out. We are going to put you on show, you will get all the attention you want, and we will do a bid or some such. Give it a quiet night tonight, tomorrow everyone's going to come and see you, and one or two rich guys will get to enjoy your company, and I get the gold I want. I'm sure with a night of two of that, everyone is going to know about you being so much like Erosia." He offered.<br/><br/>While she might feel opposed, she might quickly realise that what he was offering would literally make her increase dramatically in value as a kidnap, assuming the men came in with good bids for her.<br/><br/>"If you agree, then you will have to show me what you've got? I have to try out the goods after all, make sure my bidding customers get their money's worth, you know." Giving her a meaningful grin, the first time he had given a semblance of smile since she stepped into the White Water.<br/><br/>=================<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Summary: At 2019-03-26 11:19:15, Melendrith (uid: 61033) rolls: 1d20 Result: 8 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=133992)<br/><br/>Full Result: Melendrith rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: Erosia Insight<br/>Result: 8, <br/>Total: 8<br/><br/>Total Insight is 11.
