I shall post on the morrow. Most likely. I will be absent for a road trip the weekend after this coming one, visiting some friends out of my local area.
The system encourages a 'failing forward' mentality, and I think it'd be fitting for a failed negotiation to result in this offer;

D'arcy will sign a negotiated contract for the upcharge deal, if Bartholomew gives his word to assist D'arcy to the best of his ability. These are, of course, the relevant binding contracts of their respective Little-types.

I don't mind handling the specific negitation-haggle speak OOC like this in this situation one bit lmao.
I ordinarily keep things in my head for a while just in case things kick up, but I'm formally going to need to pull brainpower out of this one one due to some IRL circumstances. If this idea picks up steam again in the future please let me know, I may have time or mental space for it again and I would love to play Leena in this setting :)
I’ll give +2 die for leveraging advantageous circumstances :)

1 for the typical ‘help’ advantage of a situation or tool, and an additional 1 because that specifically pressures D’arcy and I’m feeling benevolent.
@rush99999 I believe this one is simple enough a task that a Society+Eloquence test would be all that is necessary. He is willing to offer a reward for successful assistance as is, but a Critical success will get you a notable mechanical reward rather than a narrative handwavium reward.

Least, near as I’ve double checked, that’d be the more correct way to handle this. D’arcy has limited access to funds and has a pretty cut and dry scenario; a more intense scenario or risk would be necessary to delve into the proper ‘Duel’ rules.

This is of course merely a suggestion for polite conversing or haggling. As always you could reframe it more physically or cunningly to try and use other Fields. Just the difficulty of certain things may be easier or harder etc. Trying to physically intimidate him for example would be quite hard, he’s a lieutenant in basically his base with his soldiers, etc. just establishing a vibe with these explanations.
Bartholomew


D'arcy composes himself swiftly at the appearance of the being known as Bartholomew. He sets his jaw and corrects his posture.

"You're not from around here. Good. I am pleased that our somewhat abrasive introductions did not dissuade what reason you possess. I am sure you witnessed the crowds. You can see that we stand upon a powdered keg. I do not wish to see this peace shattered by mouse theft, goodman. I'll take what help I can get."
Zaraknvyr is dumb enough to think he might some day be able to take control of at a bare minimum, some immense empire that may or may not exist in a place that is both Under and Dark. But he’s the conniving and malicious sort of opportunist who will gladly ‘pull the ladder up behind him’. If he managed to become Overlord Of The Gods he’d do something idiotic like outlaw violence because clearly if he could do it, someone might do it to him, and therefor violence must be controlled.

Sorry. What were we talking about? Oh right, what does he do. I’ll get a post out soon.
What does Zaraknvyr do? He finds Tir Na Og of course. Duh. What a strange question. How silly of you, Fellsing. Next he ascends to ultimate transcendent godhood.
She said what she meant, and meant what she said!

Edit; that short is incredible and only reinforces Zavakri’s confused attraction to this witch. Anyone who can quiet a Mind Goblin is a winner.
Zavakri stands outside the shop, rubbing her eyes repeatedly as the others emerge. She sniffles a few more times, her eyes red and still watering, but she slowly moves to walk behind her companions. As she moves, she seems to calm. After several paces her hands fall from her face and she takes a deep breath.

"Thin is one heck of a word for it. This place is utter madness. It's looney."
