Sumia crossed her arms as she thought, she remained by the door since she wasn't permitted to sit yet.

It became pretty clear why the Eyes sent her here. A paladin of her skill would be almost neccessary to deal with evil spirits and the risen dead. Plus, whatever else lived in the Highfells. She took a few steps forward and nodded to the old man, "I will help as I said I would. However, my concern is more with preserving the peace of the dead than the money." Sumia tilted her head to the side, "I'm curious what you mean by 'and done in a manner that does not breech my trust', though? Are you implying we might try to steal from the tombs? Surely none of us are [i]that[/i] low...." Sumia said the last part in a slightly warning tone. Intending such conduct would have immediate consequences from her.

The paladin would obviously never do such a thing but....the other's may. After all what's in the tombs may be worth far more than 175 gold coins. And a few didn't seem like the most.....upstanding of people. Sumia didn't like to hurt people, but foolishness could lead to death. For more than just themselves, possibly. The dead were not to be messed with.
