Marijn (playing Godric)): *alarmed* I demand, "What are you doing?"

DM: She smiles sweetly. "Let's have a chat."

Marijn: "No, I think I'll leave now."

DM: "Don't go, we've only just started. I think we've gotten off on the wrong foot."

Marijn: "Why did you close the curtains?"

DM: She shrugs one shoulder. "I know you can teleport. I'd like you to stay and talk. You know I want the crown and the sword. Maybe we can come to an arrangement now, just the two of us."

Hamish (playing Thaddeus): Oh no.

Marijn: *hesitates* "I'll need to consult the rest of my party before agreeing to anything."

DM: "A pity."

Tati (playing Seraph): Godric's one braincell triumphs!

Marijn: I ask, "Why do you really want the items?"

DM: She repeats, "For my collection. I'm passionate about history."

Marijn: I start backing toward the door.

DM: She keeps pace with you.

Marijn: "Why are you following me??"

DM: "I want to keep conversing with you."

Marijn: "Well, you're creeping me the fuck out!"

DM: She stops. "What can I do to gain your trust?"

Marijn: "Come and talk to us as yourself, for starters. Stop walking after me, for another!" I teleport into the hallway.

DM: Unfortunately it's a long hallway and she's able to just step out and see you. She sighs and says, "Very well, I may come and introduce myself. Ostorin, Godric is leaving. Will you show him the way out?"

Marijn: I snap, "I can show myself out!"

DM: Ostorin opens the door for you.

Marijn: I say to him, "Look, it's not you, it's your employer. You seem like a great guy. That being said, don't come back to our house."

DM: "...Okay."

DM: Mr Ostorin says, "For a private collection. My employer is an avid history enthusiast."

Seraph (siren sorcerer): *mutters* Bullshit.

DM: "We have already acquired The Gand - thanks to you, as we understand."

Thaddeus: Wait, this is who we got The Gand for?

DM: "Maria Cleaves did not want to take on any more jobs, so gave us your name as a potential replacement. Now, the crown..."

Seraph: *suppressing anger* We don't deal with anonymous figures. We have a certain history with that kind of thing.

DM: "My employer-"

Seraph: Can come and talk to us themselves. Go tell them we don't work for anyone whose face we haven't seen.

DM: He looks around.

Billie (gnome ardent): *shrugs*

Hamish (playing Thaddeus): Oh yes. You have my attention.

DM: Your footman 15-C announces a Mr Ostorin to see you.

Marijn (playing Godric): Who?

DM: He's a servant of another noble house. He-

Tati (playing Seraph): Wait, we're not done with the intervening week. We need to resolve Larissa's phylactery before we go any further.
