re post you last reply, as best you can remember.

OOC: We were heading to some count's house, Jarin threatened to give the Tieflar a slow painful death if he steps one foot out of line.

[Larrin]

The party reaches the counts house after a medium journey through the town to the richer section, you find that people you pass make a point of NOT looking at you at all. The counts house is black, as is every thing in the town, due to the color of the wood and the slate rock they are made of. The guard talks with the house gate keeper and you are let into a small courtyard, where a servant of some kind approaches you and asks to see proof of your wares.

Luthiana goes to one of the packs carried by the skeletons and takes out a roth spine.

"Here is your proof, good sir. Now where is the payment for our goods?"

[Larrin]

The servant takes the spine in hand and turns it over a couple of times, finally he takes out a small pen knife and tries to carve a bit out of it, but can't even scratch it. He hands it back to you "It appears to be the real thing, wait here, my master will be out soon with your payment." and he returns through the doors.

you wait a short while, well, a long while really, but finally a tall man in very nice looking (yet black, like everything else in town) clothing comes through the doors with the servent and two bodyguards. The Noble also inspects the spine, and then asks how many toatal you have, and wether or not you have the creatures beak.

Luthiana tells him that they only have the spikes. She also asks about the payment, wondering wether the noble was trying to rip them off.

[Larrin]

(diplomacy;negotiation;76) luthianna decides that while he is likely not going to lavish you with wealth, he won't cheat you. likely the price was aggreed upon by the hunters you killed, and he will likely stick to that and not allow any deviance from it. " the spikes are 100 gold a piece as i told the other hunters (he looks oddly at the possessed tieflar hunter, but doesn't seem to care etiher way) my baliff will pay you for your spikes." and with that he turns to leave, while a servant comes forward, carrying a pouch of coins, and a case for the spikes to go into.

"Was there anything else you would be needing sir? My companions and I would be at your service, for a price of course."


If he says nothing, Luthiana graciously accepts the money, insuring to count it, again to keep in the roll of a shrewd trader.

[Larrin]

"if i have need of you, you will be summened, you may leave now."

You count the money, its all there (what did you have, 13 spikes, sure, 1300 gold then) the guards step forward, and indicate that you know the way to the gate, and should go there. (this town will have enchanters and blacksmiths, i will get the prices for upgrading/enchanting weapons up soon.)

Luthiana bows, and leaves with the party. Outside and a bit away, Malaciah throws back his hood.

"Nobles, not matter the race, are just as haughty. It was such in my homeland and I see it does not change at all."

Luthiana nods, absentmindly.

"There is much we need done, Malaciah."

"Yes I know, Jarin. Luthiana, take the skeletons and see about rooms or lodgings, maybe even buying a manor house or something. Jarin, take that pet of yours and go and get those scales crafted into armor. I'll will meet with you back here in an hour. Luthiana, send one of the skeletons to me when you have a place."

With that Malaciah leaves, searching for a shop that sells vampire blood and other dark magic items, including a quillion, a crystal that will absorb magic powers from a caster, while he is being skinned alive of course.
