Thoughts swam in his head about what to do with this rather unique opportunity to parley with these so called champions without them being tormented and enslaved. Of course he saw the wink between the two of them and he promptly ignored it for now. Clearly he was not concerned... at all.<strong>"If we are going to play this little game, then I'll start first with an introduction. They call me Lord Melchiah "The Black Prince" and Second Heir to the Kingdom of Malgrim, a vast territory of mountains and plains that is due north of here and bordering the woodlands."</strong>Either way he allowed a moment to pass as he took the time to prepare a drink or three.<br/><br/>Lord Melciah kept his eyes upon them whilst merely placing another wine glass down, and pouring a chilled brand into the goblet. Now there were three of them and he quietly took a sip of his own.<strong>"As for what I want. This... Flesh Bazaar is nothing but the more chaotic opportunists of lesser goblin, giant and scale kind. You see the results quite clearly. Your champions, your servants and merchants are being captured and enslaved, sold off by the hands of these opportunists. I personally have no love for such untrustworthy ones nor of the humans that turn their own kind over to us. Traitors, the lot of them, willing to stab me in the back if it meant lining their pockets. But the laws of neutral grounds and chain of command from my Brother, and heir to Malgrim, Doruk forbids me from taking action. Which leads us to the heart of the matter."</strong><br/><br/>He had a fresh chicken that was roasted and with a knife and fork he began carving up the breast meat and serving it on a plate to his two guests before serving himself with some freshly baked bread.<strong>"The way I see things is that on a technical level if a bunch of adventurers rightly manage to break up the raiders, dissuade them from continuing the Flesh Bazaar. I will take my men out on patrol thus making sure the guards are thinned out and you can perform a nightly raid to potentially deal a blow to their operations here. I doubt you'll be able to kill their leader here but an opportunity can be arranged. As for what I want in return, I have yet to decide but I will call in this favor in due time. Do you understand?"</strong>
