((My name is Jonathan by the way))
Keltin rolls his eyes for the show. I know just what will do the trick.
He approaches the man, watching him intently for any sudden move, better be careful than sorry. Stopping very close to the man's face, he unleashes the full stink of his breath on him, "Look, we find ourselves in a situation here. You already have the money, I don't want to take it back from you but what information you gave my friend is clearly general stuff. You work in the only tavern of the city the closest to Akban. I understand a lot of people ask you about this place but people don't usually pay gold, do they?"
Keltin gives the man a break and stands up, keeping his aggressive stance. "Have you reconsider?"

Letting Keltin to deal with the cripple man, Fern got back to the table, sitting down beside Teekan.
Keltin is busy talking to a guy back there. Nothing serious, he will join us in a minute. Did you find company for your mule? Looking toward the bar he add: Well, well, look who Khugor is bringing to diner.

Will smirked at Keltin and looking straight at him answers with a enormously loud belch. ((To give you an idea, see Jay Sherman's here )) "Listen carefully big boy. If ya think you're gonna impress me with that talk of yours remember that I lost my legs to a friggin MINOTAUR!"He then recovers his calm a bit and adds: You and your friend are the new kids here in town. We are a closely knit community that manages to survive despite the fact that we're pretty far from Caladan and its walls. Mess with one of us and ya mess with all of us.From somewhere in the main room someone yells: "Nobody cares if they mess with you Will!"Will sighs... "In any case, I told your friend all he asked for. I don't know more since, like I said, NO ONE comes back from Akban. If I hear anything new, I'll tell ya, sure thing. For one gold piece."

Keltin sighs as soon as the door closes on Fern. "Sorry about that, I had to put a show for Fern, I hate to disappoint him.", he starts with a softer, lower tone, "It's that, you know, he likes his gold dearly and he hates to feel cheated."
He pauses to ponder for a second then leans back, "Look, if you remember anything about other travelers coming to test their luck on Akban, what they were wearing, if there was special about them or their equipment, it'd give me something to tell my friend and we would both benefit from that."
((Damn you Fern, I had to play good cop bad coop all by myself! And if Will doesn't have anything else interesting, consider Keltin tried everything and will go back to the table to join with the others.))

((Assuming that everybody his now back at the table...))
As he approaches the table, he slaps it hard with his hand. Hey! Mimosa! Wake up! I've got somebody for you guys to meet.
Listen up group. This tall gentleman here is interested to listen to whatever we could offer him for his help on our little "quest". I think we should get all the help we could get.
He turns to Morstad. Don't expect too much up front... It's more "help us now, we'll pay you later"...
He then turns back to the whole group. So, do we have a deal?

Will signals Keltin to come close and says in a low voice: "Well, there was this one guy that came through here a couple of months ago. He said him and his team went to Akban with a fellow they recruited from Caladan. Well during their exploration something bad happened and everyone was killed except for him and the new guy. He managed to flee but had to leave the other one behind. The man was confused and didn't make a lot of sense but he kept talking about how he should've brought some moon metal with him. That it could've saved his teammates lives..."
He takes a pause, letting his words sink and then adds: "Well now I really have to get back to work or Balduin's gonna kick what's left of my arse. Good evening mate."

Mimosa seems lost in an plant induced haze and doesn't give much thoughts to Khugor's calls for attention.

"Whoa there, hold your poneys dwarf.", Morstad says with a smirk. "I want more details before getting into anything. And that paying later thing is not my preferred method of getting money. It often results in not getting anything at all. Though if the potential benefits are substantial, maybe. Otherwise I'd like to get something first, to prove that you are serious business partners. Still, like I said, it all depends on what excatly we're talking about."

Uh uh... I hoped he would be "all muscles" only. Seems he has brains too... There goes a share of the treasures if he joins us...
Anybody wants to bring Morstad up to speed here?

Morstad, my name is Teekan. We are planning a potentially dangerous adventure, and need all the help we can get. But before we give you all the details, we need to know a bit about you. You seem to be able to handle yourself in fight. What brings you here? What kind of experience do you have? What was your last employ? Do you have any references, people that can vouch for you? What kind of equipment do you have, and what would you need? Based on your answers, and if you decide to joins us, we can work out some kind of payment arrangement.
