I wouldn't have him hear about the group. It is meant to be low key.

Nice, saw your post Nytefall. Just keep in mind that he will need to make his way to Leyawiin to be recruited.

As far as the conversation with Tagorn goes, I am currently stuck in the position of needing to finish the conversation with Kayal before Sharee can speak with him. I'll give Leon a bit more time, then I'll try to figure out something if he doesn't post.

I've been trying to get a beta key for that, now that I have a computer that can run it.

Kilith crossed his arms, letting out a slight grunt. "Maybe our enemies can't trust us, but we take good care of our clients. You might not be directly working for my organization, but I wouldn't have agreed to recruit for this job if I didn't think there was a good chance for profit. Since you seem interested, the client's name is Sharee-Mar. You might have heard of her; she has something of a reputation around here. I'll be level with you, she's her own brand of crazy. She's as arrogant as an Altmer but has the skills to back it up. If you accept this job, you should expect high risk for high reward. She's worked with my organization many times over the past few years, and if there's one thing I can say about her, it's that she can bring in a lot of gold. You keep yourself alive and you'll end up with a lot of profit, and at the end of the day, what else is there?"

Kilith complied, taking a seat across from the Bosmer. He seemed interested in his armor, which indicated he was familiar with his organization in some respect. "Well, if you know what it means to wear this armor, then you know where I got it from. No need to be any more...specific on that in a place like this. Suffice to say that I am the head of a local organization, and one of my trusted clients has informed me that she needs good people for an upcoming job. Now, let's just say, hypothetically, that the value of what this job entails would be around the same as the contents of an entire galleon full of trade goods, and that the cut one would receive from this job would be twice the standard fare. As far as requirements, you need only be good in a fight, and comfortable with sailing. If you are interested, I can put you directly in touch with the client. If you have questions, I'll answer what I can, but the client did not share all of the details, as you can understand." Kilith explained. He did not want to get too specific in a public place, but he needed to make sure he captured the man's interest in the job.

So far, not too much. Sharee, my character, has hatched a plan to steal an East Empire vessel at the Leyawiin docks and is getting a crew for the job. New Yorker's character got into a misunderstanding and is now in jail, so we'll have to bail him out. Hailfire's character is an amnesiac and is currently under Sharee's care (though her reasons are not exactly selfless). The story overall has not progressed too far, which is fortunate as it makes it easier to recruit new people.

It will be nice to have a necromancer aboard. I accept the character, though you can bump one or two of those skills up from apprentice and novice, if you choose. You can make your first post whenever, just make sure he is in Leyawiin. Once you are ready, I'll have either my character on an NPC recruit him.

Indeed it is, just submit a CS if you like to join.

That also reminds me, I need to update the accepted characters list to reflect the number of active people we have.

I posted. I figured out a way to recruit Tagorn without interrupting Sharee and Kayal's conversation, so Leon's post is now not quite as time-pressing.

After Sharee left, Kilith walked back inside his room, counting the coins she had given him. Sharee was never a client who paid exceptionally well, but it was enough. Luckily for him, he always had his people keep an eye on the town and newcomers to it, to watch for people that could be useful or troublesome. It wouldn’t be too difficult of a job, through it would take a lot of running around. After spending a bit more “quality time” with Ahnasha, Kilith went over to his desk and started to organize his latest reports on the newcomers and mercenaries in the town. There were too many names for him to track down alone, and many probably wouldn’t be interested, but if he delegated the responsibility to others, it would be done by the end of the day.

Kilith quickly wrote up a letter explaining the nature and specifications of the job, then put it in a large envelope with most of the list of potential recruits, keeping a part for himself. He then got himself dressed in his usual dark leather clothing, which had plenty of pockets and pouches, as was common for members of the Thieves’ Guild such as himself. Kilith walked up behind Ahnasha, who was now in her normal dress eating breakfast at his table. He hugged her from behind while setting the envelope down on the table in front of her.

“Hey beautiful, I don’t suppose you’d mind giving this to Eltine at the hideout, would you? This job for Sharee is going to take a while, and I’d like to be able to be back here by tonight.” Kilith asked, looking town and smiling at her.

“But of course, Ahnasha will do so immediately.” She responded.

“Thanks.” Kilith responded, kissing the top of her head. “I’ll try to be back as soon as I can.” He said before leaving the room and heading downstairs. He took a seat in the main room of the tavern, which wasn’t too crowded this early in the morning. Just as he had guessed, however, there were already a few of the potential recruits downstairs, mostly newcomers to the city. He suspected he would be able to find most of those on his list in either the Blackwood Brew or the Five Claws Lodge, if he was lucky. After checking through the descriptions on his list, he set his eyes on someone who seemed to be a good one to start with. Recently, Leyawiin had been struck by a string of burglaries and the guards were at a loss for who committed them. The Thieves Guild, however, had a bit better of an idea on the perpetrator. The guards had to make due with their own investigations, but the guild had the eyes of every beggar in the streets, every criminal and experienced thief in the city. With their resources, they had been able to piece together a decent description of who it could be, and the man sitting in the corner fit just that. He was a pale skinned Bosmer, or maybe Dunmer; it was difficult to tell. Either way, this man seemed to be the most qualified on the list for Sharee’s job, and if he refused that, Kilith had half a mind to give him an invitation to join the Thieves Guild.

Kilith tucked away his list into a pouch, then stood up and approached the pale skinned man in the corner. He kept his movements deliberate and obvious, so as not to threaten the rather creepy individual. It was a likely unnecessary precaution, but healthy paranoia had kept Kilith alive in the past. “Hey, got a minute? I’ve got something to say that you might want to hear, something that could make you a fair bit of coin.”
