HF 010 Rune Meets Zharn

[5/6/16, 10:17:45 PM] DM: The servant girl leads you to room 319 and knocks.  A voice inside yells.  "Enter."

[5/6/16, 10:18:03 PM] Rune: Rune does.

[5/6/16, 10:19:42 PM] DM: You enter this beautiful large room decorated in this sort of persian style (well, there is no Persia in Davos, but you get the idea).  There's a large canopy bed, a balcony and a small table where you see a young man, clean, polished and looking somewhat similar to Sarron.  This is Zharn, the man who employed you to go to Enora.

[5/6/16, 10:20:09 PM] Rune: Oh, it's you.

[5/6/16, 10:20:14 PM] Rune: What do you want?

[5/6/16, 10:20:53 PM] DM: Zharn: "Wow, you people can be quite impolite, can't you?  I want what you promised me.  The egg, my dear."

[5/6/16, 10:21:32 PM] Rune: Oh.

[5/6/16, 10:21:37 PM] Rune: What kind of egg is it, anyway?

[5/6/16, 10:24:08 PM] DM: Zharn: "That's what I hope to find out.  Do you have it?"

[5/6/16, 10:24:44 PM] Rune: Maybe. Why is it so important anyway?

[5/6/16, 10:25:01 PM] Rune: And I'm not a deer. The horns are more like an antelope's, I think.

[5/6/16, 10:26:06 PM] DM: Zharn: "Why do you care?  You're getting paid."

[5/6/16, 10:26:40 PM] DM: Zharn: "Services provided and services paid for.  What more do you even need?"

[5/6/16, 10:26:50 PM] Rune: I really didn't do it for money.

[5/6/16, 10:28:27 PM] DM: Zharn: "What did you do it for then?  Can't imagine hanging out with a bunch of whiny tree folk is the height of entertainment."

[5/6/16, 10:28:52 PM] DM: Zharn throws his hands up in a mocking gesture.  "Oh, you stepped on a leaf!  How could you?!?"

[5/6/16, 10:29:05 PM] DM: He laughs at his own joke, it's an obnoxious snorty sort of laugh.

[5/6/16, 10:29:21 PM] Rune: ... deal's off. I don't think  you'd make a good parent.

[5/6/16, 10:29:30 PM] Rune: Rune turns around to go.

[5/6/16, 10:29:45 PM] DM: Zharn grabs her by the shoulder.

[5/6/16, 10:30:02 PM] DM: Zharn: "Whoa, hold off a moment.  We had a deal here, lady."

[5/6/16, 10:30:12 PM] Rune: Had.

[5/6/16, 10:30:40 PM] DM: Zharn: "You on the rag today or something, bitch?  I am offering you prime gold for a stupid egg."

[5/6/16, 10:31:06 PM] Rune: How do you know it's stupid? It hasn't hatched yet. It could be quite intelligent.

[5/6/16, 10:31:45 PM] DM: Zharn: "It's fucking ruby!  It's not gonna hatch!"

[5/6/16, 10:31:59 PM] Rune: No it isn't. I've seen rubies.

[5/6/16, 10:32:45 PM] Rune: It's not a garnet either.

[5/6/16, 10:33:20 PM] DM: Zharn: "...you have any idea what you're doing?  What are you gonna do with it?  Sit on it and wait to hatch a shiny red chicken?"

[5/6/16, 10:33:57 PM] Rune: Chickens are very useful. And I bet you don't even work for the government like you said.

[5/6/16, 10:34:35 PM] DM: Zharn: "Don't work for...do you have any idea who my father is?  Of course I work for the fucking government!"

[5/6/16, 10:35:18 PM] DM: Zharn: "You know what?  Fine.  Keep it.  See how long you can hold onto it.  You want to play games?  I will see you hang and spit on your corpse."

[5/6/16, 10:35:45 PM] Rune: Or you can be sensible and just tell me who your father is.

[5/6/16, 10:36:05 PM] Rune: And tell me what your plan is for taking care of whatever hatches from the egg. Then you can have it.

[5/6/16, 10:37:54 PM] DM: Roll persuasion.

[5/6/16, 10:38:33 PM] DM: Zharn: "The name Sarron Dynne mean anything to you?  You're in his bedroom."

[5/6/16, 10:39:04 PM] DM: Zharn: "And what we do with it is our business.  Official Human Alliance shit.  Nothing your kind would be interested in."

[5/6/16, 10:39:41 PM] Rune: Be sensible. Nobody would just give you a baby without knowing what you're going to do with it.

[5/6/16, 10:41:20 PM] DM: Zharn: "It's not a baby.  It's stone.  A gem.  A big eggy one, but still, just a gem.  And all we want is for us to have it instead of anybody else."

[5/6/16, 10:41:37 PM] DM: Out of game, keep in mind, insight can always get you something.

[5/6/16, 10:42:04 PM] Rune: ((Only when  you put ranks into it. :) ))

[5/6/16, 10:42:56 PM] DM: You kind of get the sense he's not packing as much power as he's claiming.  You're not convinced he actually has the authority to have even made this trade.

[5/6/16, 10:43:28 PM] DM: Also, he's a really bad liar.

[5/6/16, 10:45:48 PM] Rune: ... fine. Deal's off. If you mess with me in any way, it'll all go public, out in the open, and everyone will know you were involved.

[5/6/16, 10:46:15 PM] DM: Zharn makes a face like a kid about to throw a tantrum.

[5/6/16, 10:46:38 PM] Rune: Otherwise, I'll keep quiet.

[5/6/16, 10:46:59 PM] Rune: And I'm sorry I've wasted your time.

[5/6/16, 10:47:12 PM] DM: Zharn: "Not as sorry as you will be.  Get out."

[5/6/16, 10:47:25 PM] DM: ((He's a real charmer, isn't he?))

[5/6/16, 10:48:09 PM] Rune: It'll all go public. That's before you die. You might have family, but I do too, and they eat little humans like you.

[5/6/16, 10:48:13 PM] Rune: Rune departs.
