Zodanga
The pair at the door glare with malice as you approach, neither flinch when Jasoomians are mentioned. Yet they exchange a glance, frown, and then the larger holds up his palm, "Wait here."
While the second brute remains, the first disappears within the back room and returns shortly, "It appears that we have no access to Jasoomian's at this time but Carth Val-ab would be pleased to speak with you further on the matter and see if other options might suffice."
He motions for you to make your way into the back room.
Assuming you do so you find a man of Zodanga seated at a desk at the far wall; a sumptuous meal sits at the edge of the clutter before him barely touched. He rises and nods and greets you, "Welcome to you all, I am Carth Val-ab. I must admit I was surprised to hear of your interest in Jasoomian's; everyone knows that so few have appeared on Barsoom that it is unheard of for any to be taken as slaves. But I wondered if your interest might lie in something deeper, perhaps. After all," he looks to Demetrius, "one of you is a Jasoomian, are you not? For who else than one from that distant world could have performed such amazing leaps when he and his companion bested the greedy watch at the gates of our fair city so handedly?" He inclines his head to Nantas'; acknowledging the Green Man's skill with his blade in addition to the Earthman.
He sits back in his chair comfortably, fingers crossed, and awaits your response.
