"I-I know that I've... I've... Blundered, Gronwick, but but but! I've the coin to repay you! I promise!"
"COIN DOES NOT BRING ME BACK MY MEN, NOR DOES IT PAY BACK LABOR. SHOULD YOU NOT GIVE YOUR BODY AS RECOMPENSE?"
In the underbelly of Alliria, these two men bickered back and forth. If you could call it a back and forth. More so a one sided berating of the other.
Germaine Howerton, a human and a smuggler, one filled with cowardice, connections and coin. A weakling who jumped into the criminal underworld in hopes to line his own pockets.
Throe Gronwick, a half orc mercenary with his hand in hallucinogen drug trafficking, assassinations, and many other heinous deeds. Yet he still retained a sense of hardwork and honor that Germaine had long forgotten.
The gist of it is, Germaine fucked up. He was supposed to help some of Gronwick's men reach Elbion safely. Instead his greed got the better of him. He was offered a hefty amount of gold in exchange for the delivery of some of Gronwick's goods and took the bribe without thinking. What he'd expected was a rival gang to come in the midst of moonlight and steal the caravan which he could just pass off as a random theft, where he could keep his job money and his bribe money. What he did not expect was that these rival gang members would cut the throats of all but Germaine. In summary; Germaine got all of Gronwick's men killed and his goods stolen for money.
The mercenary was understandably livid and now demanding that Germaine either die or give his life to working for him in order to make reparations for his atrocity.
Amalia also liked coin, however. She was hired by Mr. Howerton in order to provide protection. He paid handsomely and upfront. She stood by his side with several other sell swords as he tried to weasel his way out of this debacle. Gronwick had much less protection with him as he was a warrior himself, but did have some hired blades near him. She kept her eyes on the opposing mercs as she listened to their ramblings.
"Ther-there has to be some other way, Gronwick! Please I beg of you! I let myself be fooled and it shan't happen again!" The smuggler whined towards the uninterested half orc.
"YOUR GROVELING DOES YOU NO GOOD YOU SPINELESS WORM. I DEMAND YOU CHOOSE: DEATH OR SERVITUDE!"
(OOC: Please feel free to speak as either NPC)
