A middle aged merchant bumps into two dwarfs outside the tavern:- Oh! you scared me there, brother.- Bastel says, making a bow right after recognizing one of the dwarfs.
- Oh sorry brother!- Cuhar says.
- How are you today?- the merchant asks.
Pirill coughs "I don't think we've met yet...", he mutters.
- Fine, thanks brother... ah sorry, this is my guild brother and good friend Pirill.- Cuhar adds, turning to his friend.
Bastel smiles "Me name's Bastel Daen, entrepreneur. At your service"
- Pleased to meet you Bastel, Cuhar speaks highly of you...he says you have great plans for us dwarfs
- Come brother, let's have an ale- Cuhar suggests.
- Oh, ale, that's right!- Bastel says, looking into his pack- Have a taste, me friends- he says, pulling out an unmarked bottle.
- Thank you but I still have a bit myself- says Pirill.
- Oh, but you've never tasted anything like this. Thanks to me friend here, I could get all I needed. This is Golden Hammer.
Pirill takes a sip of the ale with caution that turns into surprise.
- Mmm...this is very good!
Bastel looks around and then whispers: "Interested in some more work, me friends?"
- Of course brother, it's always good to make business with you- Cuhar replies.
Bastel smiles: "Then follow me, this is a job for just a few trusted ones". After saying this, he leads the dwarfs into an alley where he can go into details without prying eyes.
- Well, as you know -he starts explaining- I needed to gather ingredients to make my Golden Hammer a few weeks ago. Now that I have them and my brew is ready, I have been looking for a great location for my Gambling House. And well, I have found a great spot. So everything is starting to come together.
- That's great news brother. A dwarf tavern is what we need here.- Cuhar says.
- Aye, and it is time to start hiring now. But I can only hire people worth of my trust.
Both dwarfs nod at Bastel's words.
- I shall do what is needed to earn your trust,brother...- Pirill adds.
- I do not know this town very well since I tavel so much... So that's where I need your help and your discretion -he pauses for a few seconds- ...I need you to be my headhunters and find the best staff to work in me gambling house.
- Hmm...that's not going to be easy... - Pirill observes.
- You are to find suitable prospects to take care of the patrons: entertain them, wait on them, serve them drinks, and so on. I cannot open the gambling house until I find them. I know it can take a while, but that's not a problem. And if you find the right prospects I will hire you as the gambling house heads of staff.
- That would be a honour for us brother!- Cuhar says.
- Me and Cuhar will do our best to find good staff!- Pirill adds excited.
- Excellent! Here's what I need:
two bards,
two bartenders,
two female dancers,
four waiters or waitresses and
one main entertainer. The waiters and waitresses must have experience and know how to handle a drunken crowd. The bartenders must be good adding tabs and never mess up the orders. The dancers need to be attractive and skilled. And the main entertainer must know excellent dice games and how to entertain a crowd. You are to find canditates and have them come for an interview with me. I would like to hire a varied crowd: Klyros, Ynwnn, Xacha, Enkis, anything goes.
- We shall try finding them as quick as possible- Pirill says.
- I have to go out of town for a week but I'll be back in a few days. I'll be staying at Kada-El's. I'll send word to you as soon as I get back into town. Here's a little expense money should you need to do any traveling -Bastel says, handing Cuhar a small pouch of trias- Buy yerselves some drinks once you find the candidates. I'm trusting you, friends, don't let me down.
- We will do our best to find all the staff so fast as possible- Cuhar promises- You can trust on us brother!
Bastel smiles.
- Excellent! Now I should get going. I can't wait to see who you find!
- Ok brother have a nice trip!- Cuhar adds.
- Thanks. Farewell me friends!
Bastel picks up his pack and takes a bow, walking off.
As he disappears from their sight after turning around in a corner, Pirill puts his gloves back on and turns to Cuhar:
- Well mate looks like we've got a new adventure.
