Fallen Dragon would find his way to rest of the party inside. Catching the last snippets of the conversation. It didn't seem to be going well.
"What you are doing... is holding information Zodge has demanded hostage for the sake of getting his lackeys to cover your own mistakes." He said to Tarina.
"Our orders were to handle this by any means necessary. You are simply a convenience, not a necessity. He likes you Tarina, but I am sure you are as well aware as I am that such a thing only matters so long as our usefulness is apparent."
He looked to Gwen and Inula and gave each of them a nod. "The pirates are on their way now. And I doubt you have time to recruit enough people to handle them before they get here. Leaving us you in more need of us than you are letting on. After all, given the money you made from those pirates, you could have hired your own private army by now and would not need us. So you surely have money to spare, as several thousand subtly acquired pieces of gold can be spread over a long time. "
The burly tabaxi put his hands behind his back. "About seven pirates are in their way. Eight, if you include a potential traitor i have planted. If you are lucky, they will have already saw fit to join with the Vanaath family. If not, they will die. They have more in the ship but it will take them that much longer to arrive if their captain is feeling ballsy."
With a sigh, Dragon shook his head, "Captain Zodge asked we treat you nicely. And I'm sure we can do that. But doing your work for you is a gift from us, not Zodge. And you giving the information to us, which is implied as mandatory, is your job to Zodge, not us. So I think, at the very least, you owe my Mistress an apology and with an appropriate phrased "please" she would be more inclined to acquiesce."
"We aren't unreasonable, Miss Tarina. We simply do not have any desire to be lead around by the nose save by the hand of our current employer, Captain Zodge."
He turned to his moon elf employer and bowed, "Just to warn you, should they decide to attack, the pirates, I will take it as a personal offense given that it means they knowingly rejected your generosity. And I would like to remind the pirate Captain of what happens when ones decides to shun the favor of a Patriar. But if she is wise, then her and her pirates will happily offer themselves as... hired hands."
