Darian looked at the woman and her large, burly, hired help, before sighing. "Now now, my partner, be nice to the Tower Girl. After all, no sense pissing off the gangs just yet, and the nice lady is letting us keep our equipment, which probably won't happen if we antagonize her."<br/><br/>They were going to get the girl, and if they fought, he would consider themselves lucky to get away with anything. He was just glad he had squirreled a couple of the items away. "Alright, here you go. A pair of boots, a smokestick, a tanglefoot bag, a masterwork, mithral short sword, a climbing kit, an odd-looking climbing harness, a set of thieves tools, and... where did that scroll... ah, here it is, one scroll of shield. You want the seven coins, or is that our payment for doing the fun work of finding and subduing her?"<br/><br/>He was just trying to get the money, the wand, and the shard clear, cause he suspected the shard was what was important. They could track Natalya down later, but he had a hunch the shard was what the gangs wanted, not the rest of it.<br/><br/>(bluff 29 = d20+10 on what she actually had)
