"Yes, it is some divine tea." A'kin says, staring at you before drinking some himself. "Quite literally."

There's a large eyebrow aim at you when you mention the Rilmani. "A Rilmani acting up? Sounds pretty normal to me to have them putting someone in the dead-book.They want to keep the Blood War going just as my as my kind do, but for different reasons. Should hear Jemorille the Exile talk about it; he tells quite the long winded tale, I hear. Buy him a drink and he'll talk your head off about it. He likes the Fortune's Wheel."

He pours you a cup of tea when the cups arrive, and then to his guard before himself. "And consider that payment for the information." The jackal looking demon takes a sip of the tea and smiles deeply.
"Jemorille the Exile, I'll 'ave to remember that one. Might need to pay him a visit and sit down for a wigwag."

Thad takes a moment to appreciate the tea, waiting for his host and his guard to have their cups filled as well. He peers into the cup, watching intently as the swirling colors shift in subtle patterns. Bringing the cup up to his face, he allows the light steam to greet his nostrils and takes a moment to savor the aroma. Notes of mint and passion fruit fade as even a whiff begins to bring about feelings of nostalgia and comfort.

He looks up to ensure the other two had their cups and that he wasn't rushing ahead. Satisfied, Thad brings the cup to his lips for that much anticipated first sip. Without thinking, he closes his eyes while the understated flavors caress his tongue before dissipating and leaving behind a profound sense of having remembered something familiar and stirring.

After a lingering moment, he opens his eyes and finds himself wearing a contented smile. At a rare lose for words, he offers a simple nod of the head.

Thaddeus leans in conspiratorially, "Not just the Chaosmen... seems to me like the Rilmani might be actin' out. Ran into a blood last night sending one off to the dead-book. Kept goin' on about the Balance and savin' the Planes. He used some impressive magics and managed to get away from me and three others."

He looks around the shop and at Balaka, "Consider that bit of chant a little extra for taking good care of me."

"For you, absolutely." He nods to his guard. She starts to bring over something as he begins to gather the things you have requested. "Glad to see you are preparing. With the Chaosmen acting up, it does not hurt to keep some extra things around for protection. Even more glad you knew who to see to help you with it."

"Oh A'kin my friend, I know you wouldn't do something like that to me. But, it won't do to be sloppy. Have to keep each other on our toes." He says tapping the side of his nose.

"As for the tea, would you share my first taste with me?"

GM call | 1d10 ⇒ 5

((Add a 2.5% markup for the price due to current market trends.))


He smiles and laughs. "You caught me. Here I was hoping I could pass you on some copper jink. Oh, and the tea now? You'll ruin me today." He grins and begins to gather the requested items.

"I'd like to see 'em enforce that on the Dabu. But of course, there's always 'ceptions. I'm sure there will be special dispensations for the ones making those restrictions too. You know, for their safety and convenience." Thaddeus shakes his head knowingly.

"Anyway, that's a deal on the broom. Four thousand gold." He added a little emphasis to make sure 'ole A'kin wasn't trying to pull one over and stuck his hand out to shake on it.

"The good news is I'll be spendin' most of that right here and right now. Scanned a few items I've taken a likin' to."

Thaddeus goes around the shop with A'kin and gathers the items. "What'll these run me? And how 'bout throwing back in that tea?"

"I see." He nods along as he listens to you talking about the Great Kahn with some interest and not at all disinterested in the topic. "Yeah, there's some talk about restricting non-natural flight within the city. Suppose they're trying to limit things so people are forced to use the things around them. Probably some push by the guild. Unless you think that's a good thing, then how wonderful it is!" A'kin smiles and looks at the broom. "Hmm...if you're sure you may not need it." He contemplates for a long moment. "Give you 4000 for the broom."

Elysian tea was quite an enticement. If he didn't think the wand was worth many times the amount A'kin was offering, he would jump at the deal.

"The Great Khan commands what the Great Khan commands. The knowledge and experience I can provide from a lifetime in the Cage is but a drop in the ocean of his existence."

"I've been to plenty of Gate-Towns, but it's funny you should mention that. I might be minder for a little trip out to the Prime, haven't been there 'fore. 'Nother reason I'd like to change up some of my gear.

(OOC) Thought the persuasion was for the broom. At the price range he's in for the wand, not going to sell for even triple the price.

Also, I thought only teleportation and invisibility were illegal, not flight?
