In reply to Oly (msg # 453):

The goblins give you the eye, but on seeing he three of you eating, calm down a bit.

8nce finished, you head back to the guild.

"So, we need to get Gonash into the negotiations for a piece of the new undercity trade through Rigo's route.  I wonder if Lepkur has anything to offer Rigo?  That would kind of bring things full circle."

Wordh azkin'....

"I think it likely.  I don't recall if he has an office in the Guild.  As a bookie, he might just carry his book around with him and need no fixed location."

I dink he's down in de lower levels o' da guild.

In reply to Oly (msg # 458):

"Welcome back Oly, Renolan, an' Ardenas, innit? I heard you mention Rigo. He's in his offices inna undercroft."

Danks man!

"Sounds good."

Ardenas holds out his hands so McCain can see he has no more weapons than usual (shuriken and crossbow bolts, but no crossbow), and heads toward the undercroft.

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 461):

Upon reaching Guildmaster  Rigo's  offices, you are greeted by a stocky half elven woman.
"How can I help you?"

We godda propozidhion from de goblinz and Orcz... wand'ed do pazz id by da bozz , az he'd haav'da OK id.

In reply to Oly (msg # 463):

"Come on in. I'll get Rigo"

For a basement suite of rooms in a cobbled together fortress
like the guild, Rigo Bleak's quarters are very well
appointed, and inhabited by his sizeable consortium of
henchmen. He could probably field a small army of former
mercenaries...

In reply to Morgan Baker (msg # 464):

"Oly, Renolan, good to see you. And you are...?"

Hez Ardenaz, Boss... I'll led him explain dis zduff.

In reply to Oly (msg # 466):

"Ardenas? Thank you Oly. Now what have  you got for
me?"

"We've been chasing the problem with orcs busting up goblin stalls that's been upsetting Lepkur's books.  A jugger coach named Khrosh manages a team with a player named Murfash, and one of their former cheerers, Hramina, fell for a goblin quick named Glosso.  Somehow, they managed to avoid just being murdered by the orc juggers and their fans and went into hiding -- but now those orcs are destroying stuff all over goblintown trying to find Glosso and Hramina, presumably to murder them.

"We've been following the trail of who can do something about this, and we've learned that one of the orc elders, Gonash, wants to be in on the negotiations for access to the undercity through your wine cellar, the one that was recently cleared of troll squatters.  We think that can be used as a lever to get Gonash to call off Khrosh's juggers from busting up goblin businesses.

"This isn't a matter of guaranteeing anything to Gonash in the negotiations, just a matter of offering access to the bargaining table, conditional on him putting Khrosh's juggers on a leash.  As I see it, you have little or nothing to lose here, might even gain by having another bidder, but the Guild and the city stand to gain from preventing this problem escalating into open fighting in the streets between goblins and orcs."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 468):

The Guildmaster sighs heavily.
"I was really hoping to keep that development in house. Where did you hear about the Winecellars project?"

"Our source prefers not to be identified, but I'm pretty sure it's an insider.  Where Gonash heard it, I couldn't tell you.  The point is, this may be the only way to keep Khrosh and Murfash's beef from turning into a war between orcs and goblins -- which would be bad for everyone's business."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 470):

"I have been contemplating a more expeditious answer to this problem, and we would follow through if we could get at this Glosso... it would be advantageous to have
a hold on Gonash, financially speaking."

Why Harm him?

"We briefly considered killing Glosso and Hramina ourselves, if we could find them, but decided it would be a bad idea -- it would reward Krhosh and Murfash, and show the rest of the city's juggers that settling their scores off the playing field is advantageous.  That way lies destruction that would rival that of the last war.

"Not knowing at the time that this encroached on Guild business, we decided instead to follow the trail of who wanted what and who could control whom, and eventually came to Ganosh, who is the Elder above Khrosh, wanting access to the undercity via your wine cellar project.

"We haven't spoken to Ganosh.  Whether we do is ultimately up to you as our Guildmaster, at this point.  But to my eye, it seems there may be more at stake here than Lepkur's sports book.  It seems to me it would be bad for the Guild if the city were to fall into civil war."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 473):

"That sounds well thought out. I am glad you
thought of the guild. I need to speak with a few members of
my council, Norries and Ashbury and Lepkur. Give me an hour."
