- C.B. hotel
At the appointed time Hans and Humble arrive at the C.B. Hotel in Gloom. The lobby is ornate and a few folks are sitting in oversize chairs sipping some wine. There are a few security gaurds dressed in Gladdius power armor keeping an eye on the well to do folks that pass through the lobby to their rooms or the offices adjacent to the main lobby. The front Desk man looks at Hans and Humble when they approach. He has dakr black hair slicked back, and a smile quicker than a cat on the draw. Easy going with a bit of a drawl he says,
" Welcome to the C.B Hotel gentlemen. The name is Jeff Sundance what can I do for... Ah yes I see." A look of sly recognition passes over his face,
" Just sit down with the other gentlemen there in the main lobby. Enjoy a glass of wine if you wish. Mr. Koll will be down shortly."
Sitting down each finely dressed gentlemen reacts slightly different to Hans and Humble. An elf with a white scarf tied nearly around his neck gives you both a look of disdain. A pair of D'Norr devil men possible twins smile warmly and pass you each a glass of wine. A psi-stalker with a full head of fiery red hair almost fumbles his own wine as you sit. The Psi-stalker was saying,
" Oh gracious... As I was saying, Flibus, do you believe The Jewel Finder really did find a cash of Golden age weaponry?"
The Well to do elf merely nods giving Humble and Hans the side eye.
The pair of D'Norr twins quietly whisper each one talking in rhythm with the next so it was as if they were speaking as one person,
" We do not believe it to be of golden age origin, something from Phase world would make sense given our interests."
The elf gives Hans and Humble a look over,
" Really and whom do you two represent, do they just let the drabble off the streets come to these things?" The elf cranes his neck towards the door as if expecting someone else.
The Psi-stalker laughs and slaps his knee nearly spilling his wine,
" Oh please do forgive Flibus, he is just overly sensitive to new blood. I suppose Martillo could not be bothered to make it to this gathering. A shame I suppose. And yet I am not too sad as it gives us a better chance in winning the prize."
The conjecture soon comes to a halt as a man well dressed with cuff links of distinct arcane origins approaches. His slightly angular features him the impression of an elvish heritage. He eases in to an arm chair and smiles at everyone,
" Comfortable? I am Caleb Koll of course, what is impossible to obtain it is my job to acquire. Everyone here has no idea what I am selling, and yet you have the funds to purchase it twice, thrice, and perhaps even four times over. My man Jeff assured me off this the moment you walked in, he has a sixth sense about these things, and is hardly ever wrong." Caleb clasps his hands in-front of him and smiles viciously,
" So gentlemen, there are 4 parties here invested in the item I have. Its five million creds just to bid, and another 5 million to purchase the item." Appearing out of seemingly thin air the desk clerk, Jeff Sundance appears with a card reader.
" Underneath everyone's seats is a small tube, it contains a clue as to what the object might be. You may reach for it as soon as 5 million credits have been deposited. Then each party will have 3 chances to guess as to what the item is. Whomever guesses correct, I will personally take to the site where they can purchase the item upon seeing it. Pairs will of course alternate guesses with one guessing twice and the other once." The other 4 gentlemen deposit their funds( the pair of D'Norr's only deposit 5million total) and reach under there seats. Jeff coughs slightly as he stands in front of Hans...
Caleb nods after everyone has a chance to read and looks at Hans and Humble,
" New comers first as always and I am afraid gentlemen as they say it is your go."
Player Directions: Do a little RP, how do you play the "guess" on what the item is? Do you go super exact or do you leave it just vague enough to get a lucky guess here or there? Make either a stealth or persuation roll if you are at all trying to conceal this surprising turn of events. Of course should you go a different way feel free to narrate up to the point dice are rolled.
Please include a notice roll with your post as it will be used in the next scene!
