Devaguea nodded slightly, before pulling out a page from the folder that had been handed to him at the start of the meeting and sliding it across the table. The page listed  his researchers knew about the Sky Key and what the full artifact could do. "Matches what we found out. And while I am... slightly concerned," the dragon loaded enough sarcasm in the last phrase to outright kill a great wyrm dragon, but continued without pausing, "about their unwillingness to admit what they were doing, I am willing to look past it knowing what the artifact will be. And you openness about it does do you credit."<br/><br/>He leaned back, and tilted his head, his expression changing to the a small smirk, waiting for them to make the next move. First move about negotiations was to NEVER have the item desired AND open with a price. His minimum price was at least periodical access to the completed artifact, with supervision if necessary, as well as access to a complete record of the Pathfinder chronicles. If he could swing it, he would also get an artifact to replace the piece he was 'losing.' Coin was useless with how prosperous his lands were, and while he could use large value diamonds, he had his own gem mine in his lands.
