[i]Interacting with: [/i] [@VitaVitaAR]

[color=00aeef]"She...just said she wasn't dumb enough to give that info out Radistirin."[/color] Gillian huffed as the diminutive knight asked for what had to be the third time for the name of the Sharks employer. A tid bit of information that Gillian was sure they could only get if they beat it out The Shark. And that hardly seemed like a good idea at the moment, large iron giant bodyguard not withstanding. 

Not that Gillian didn't understand the paladin's annoyance, and more distressingly agreed with it. [color=00aeef]"While I'm all for going tits-out-Reon-crusader on whatever moron decided to keep this here, much less the idiot who wants to snatch said evil bullshit up...."[/color] he started carefully, eyeing up the two mercenaries. [color=00aeef]"The more pressing problem is that neither of us have aforementioned shard. Or if its even still HERE."[/color] 

He turned towards Bors who, for the moment, seemed the more affable of the two. [color=00aeef]"To sum up, whoever hired you wanted you to find this stone, neglecting to tell you its a shard of Angroron. You come here, everyone is dead from its influence save these idiots."[/color] He said, giving the corpse of the fallen Boar warrior a swift kick to punctuate his point. [color=00aeef]"You kill them, we show up. I take it from the fact you're still here that you've yet to FIND said evil bullshit that I promise you aint being paid enough for. So either its still here or these idiots were covering whoever was extracting it."[/color] He finished, stretching his arms above his head. 

[color=00aeef]"I move we pool our resources and just find this thing before whatever did this..."[/color] he said, gesturing to the veritable corpse collage arrayed before them. [color=00aeef]"Starts having an affect on us, if its still here. If its not, we clear the fort faster anyway and have some mutually assured reinforcements for the hypothetical transporting group of cultist or what-have-you. All that said..."[/color] he slowed, raising his arms into the slightest of guards and angling his body subtly away from where Alette would be the most likely to strike at him from this distance. 

[color=00aeef]"You realize we can't exactly let you walk away with the artifact. I imagine your employer is going to be a bit cross about that, but is that going to be an issue with your lot? Don't know what you're getting paid, but I doubt trading blows with the Roses was included in the billing."[/color] He said, not really wanting to tangle with the Shark or her retinue. Less out of fear of the exchange (fearsome as The Shark's reputation was, the Iron Roses would be a historical footnote long before a mercenary band fought them to a standstill), but more out of not wanting to let an artifact this dangerous to get anymore distance from them than was strictly neccessary.
