Oldtin carries his gold on his person. He falls into line in the rear.

Re: Delve the First

Het reaches the bottom of the stairs, Lawrence close behind him, to see a rather large, columned entry chamber, with doors in all sides. Before he can see much more, his attention is arrested by the sight of a rather large man armoured in plate and shield, not five feet in front of him, blocking the way.

"Welcome", he says, "to the madness. The toll is 10 gold per person. Or one magic item", he adds as an afterthought.

If at some point this confrontation was to turn violent, you estimate you could probably rush him and engage him with a couple of people, but others would be stacked up.

OOC
Not sure if Golguldir can see into the room from his position, but he can likely hear? If so, what language is spoken?

For those that can see: is "rather large" still naturally large for a man? Is he armed? Does he have help?

Presuming we haven't sufficient gold to pay this toll there are two obvious options:

1) Charismatic Lawrence attempts to negotiate a "We'll pay you double later if you let us pass freely now," type deal, or...

2) We best him by force:

2A) If he is as yet unarmed and/or alone we could attempt to overbear him because his plate armor won't help him, while our superior numbers should help us (but if he already has a weapon readied it might not be such a good option).

2B) If he has a bunch of friends it might be better to ensorcel them all swiftly (particularly if they all have plate armor!)

Other options?

"And welcome to you my friend. And what might your name be?" after waiting for a reply "so friend(insert name here) how is business. I assume it can't be very good if you are taking a toll from prties entering the dungeon. Might i suggest that you take the toll from parties leaving the dungeon. Or better yet why not join us. You seem like a very capable sort. Come join us for an equal share of the treasure".

Serech leans forward and whispers to Lawerence, "First it was 10 gold each, now it is all our gold? Or a magic item? How would this brigand even know what is magical and what isn't?"

Re: Delve the First

"Well Alistair. I don't think that makes good business sense for you or us. I tell you what i think we should do." says Lawrence as he slowly approaches Alistair until he is in sword range. "I think you are going to let us pass" as Lawrence attacks.
