T'sunami raises an eyebrow at the elf's comment. The job seemed simply
enough - even if the merchant seemed a little too... off? It was hard to
say.
"Master Remiel," the t'skrang says, "With all due consideration, your terms
seem unfair. You wish us to investigate your sister's latest expedition,
and follow her into the ruins. We are to find out what information we can,
then enter one of the most dangerous environs in Barsaive. If we agree to
this job, you'll have our word we will be diligent and do everything we can
to bring your sister back, but if, Passions forbid, her expedition
failed..." The warrior shifts in his seat uncomfortably, the chair
obviously not made to accommodate a t'skrang's tail. He continues, making
himself as comfortable he can.
"I believe we would gladly bring your sister's body back if at all possible,
but carrying such a burden is far harder then traveling with a living
companion and paying us less money for more work would hardly be fair. I'm
sure your sister's disappearance has been hard for you, but we should not be
made to forfeit a portion of our payment if the ruins proved deadly for her
and her companions.
"Should the unfortunate have transpired, obviously you will want to know how
and why. A man of your means would have little difficulty in hiring a
nethermancer to determine the cause of death. Even not knowing this, we
would have every intent to do everything to keep her safe. But with this
insurance, plus your guardsmen as witness, should they join us, you know
there would be no reason for us to do anything foolish. Three hundred
silver and the promised equipment up front, plus the full seven hundred at
the job's completion, however fate befalls it, is fair."

Working on getting ahold of him - trying to catch him on AIM. Actually,
what he last said was that he /was/ interested in playing when he got back
to college (this was about a month ago, and US colleges are back insession
now), so I'll try to confirm one way or the other as soon as I see him
online.
Does that mean Andre is still with us, then?
