Re: Combing Quesqueton
Uthecar nods his head. "With due respect cousin, the terms only seem harsh because you do not fully understand the critical nature of your plight.
You are probably only at a 3rd of the strength you were when you started, and without aid, it is likely this place is your tomb.
Furthermore, your gnome has used his spell for the day making you even weaker than before we arrived. In spite of your words, he has created a debt to us, because he made us use up one of our own spells to counter the one he cast when he lost his grit.
Without our help, you are dead men walking, or perhaps one of the undead, you just don't know it yet.
Tell you what, if it is acceptable to my companions, we will reconsider and give you a 10% share of the coin treasure discovered. If the rumours are true that will still be a king's ransom you can divide amongst yourselves and retire on as you retell the tales of your exploits. It will also not be a too great a penalty to us for saving your lives."
