OOC:  That's not a bad rate, better thana 10% rental fee and a deposit.  We could get $2,400 for a sale, so I'd recommend at least a "you break it, you bought it" agreement.  Of course depending on the size of the fae, they might not be the right fit.

OOC: Presuming it matters, Virgilio is and even six feet tall and weighs 138 lbs in his skivvies.  I'd expect this kind of getup to be adjustable, at least to some extent, however.  I can't readily picture this abomination being made specially for Virgilio, after the Mage Guild decided he was better kept under lock and key.  More likely it was originally created to render wizards helpless for trial, or after conviction for transport to execution.

Assuming it is somewhere present, Anita will ask to try it on the Winter Elf prisoner for size...

Dne approaches Marcus.  “What sort of help are you looking for?” He asks from underneath the cold comfort of his weird-looking bird mask.  “Do you consider lightning bolts cast from above to be helpful?”

"What is my kin bound here for?  What have they done?" Asks thin, small warrior with pale skin and ash grey hair.

In reply to Dilandua (msg # 41):

"She was gathering up extremists and having them try to get rid of any get of mixed heritage..."

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 40):

Marcus looked at the ine who had just spoken to him.
"I doubt lightning bolts are useful in keeping a possible informant contained."
"Question her without threat of her using her powers."
"That is what we are looking for."

Marcus had quite obviously missed that the people present had a solution.

"Oh.  Well, clearly they've done something wrong as they've been beaten and captured."

In reply to Dilandua (msg # 44):

"Defeated, yes. Costing many lives. We would like to avoid that happening again."

"Very good cousin.  Defeated but proven your strength."

Dilandua then answers Anita, "Reanna has the witch-locks we took off of Virgilio.  They should fit your captive."

In reply to Dilandua (msg # 46):

"For the rate of $140 per week or part thereof, you are welcome to borrow them. Cash up front, at the start of the week, assuming you are a guild member, so I know where I can find you if you get any funny ideas "

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 47):

"Let me ask my group if we have cash. All I have right now is the $60 medallion they used to identify themselves."

Any other members cashed up now?

"I'll be happy to front you the seven silver in exchange for first right of purchase of belongings of theirs," the small warrior says flatly.

"As one who was recently held in those locks because of who and what I am..."  Virgilio has the look of one making the decision what to say even as he speaks.

"I might lend you the coin.  This seems a much more proper use of these bonds than what I was subjected to -- though I'm sure your captive would disagree.  I had never any intention of harming anyone, though.

"Let us say, I will pay the seven francs for up to a week's use, and you may owe me nine francs, to be paid when you can, but within a quarter year at most.

"Obviously, if the restraints are damaged while in your care, your group will be responsible for repair cost or reimbursement for the value we would have received for their sale -- which I understand to have been 120 francs.

Dilandua has made a different offer, which might be more advantageous to you -- or it might not, depending what you learn and obtain from it."

Having introduced Ulo, Syvanus says he will return shortly and slips away to see about spells with Spelllgud.

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 50):

the captive is visibly wearing bronze elven hauberk, which is worth quite a bit, and they checked her sword at the door.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 52):

I am pretty sure we removed her arms and armour, but in that case we would have it with us. Happy to show it to any interested in purchasing it. Not wanting to rob her of everything but definitely remove her weapons and armour and sell them!

Syvanus will enquire as to cost.

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 54):

the armor is a hauberk, coverings arms torso and groin/upper thighs.

it is worth $6200 new due to being elven and bronze, sale price is 40% or $2480

In reply to Narrator (msg # 55):

And how heavy is it?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 55):

Anita would have Benito sell it for them normally, so how much would she ask from Dilandua?

"Has my cousin committed some crime worthy of having their property seized?  I ask before this gets too out of hand.  Or were they apprehended in the lawless bounds between city-states and thus the fairest of prey?"

Syvanus finds Spellgud and asks if he has some time to teach him some spells?

In reply to Dilandua (msg # 58):

"I am no lawyer, but inciting and orchestrating assault and attempted murder would fit that bill. We seek to restrain her to find out the details, but that is what we know so far. You were the one who asked for her stuff."

"No, I offered to lend you money, with no other guarantees than first right of purchase to their belongings.  For several reasons, one, Winter Court fights with laws as well as claws.  By making sure my cousin's belongings are all in one place, or as much as I can afford, and a place sympathetic to them, that minimizes the risk to follow Guildsmen should they pursue a legal redress.  Two, that is Winter Court battledress, it is not kit for peasants."
