What a shame, turning down all that money. Oh well, I guess Vlad will have to find another way.

Also @B8con, it's not that I'm ignoring your characters. It's more that your last post with them didn't give me any good reasons for Neon or Torva to interact with them at the moment. I second heading to the Colosseum to meet up with the rest of the party, and you won't have any problems getting a conversation going. You could also go hunt down Neon or the council, but either way, initiating the conversation with someone is your best bet.
