I have begun my most lucrative job to date, as such it is finally time to log pertinent information.
It began quite simply, I sought to make a quick
Wolf
Fang and saw the opportunity in
Frenar Goldenhammer's unpopularity. I'd heard of
Shy'Nar's (
quite embarrassing) assassination attempt in the
Lady's Rest and decided to take it upon myself to end the infamous dwarf. We met in the
Mist Camps, where we quickly formed a business rapport and headed to the wastes of
Har'Akir for mutual benefit.
There, I introduced him to my brother and revealed my intention after we prepared for our expedition... I have never faced a more cunning warrior. I had to employ tactics and contingencies I had only imagined. He fought hard, he fought well, but in the end he fell.
~Blood Money~ After, I took him aside and sought to communicate with his soul, where my true deception began.
~Business~ Of course I never really had an employer, but he bought into the deception readily enough. He asked how much I was paid and was quite displeased to hear/
13,000 WF.
He offered me double, and double again; for the tidy fortune of/
52,000 WF to supply the name of my employer and return the favor. I agreed to the terms, and would supply a name after being paid in full. He eagerly accepted. After taking rudimentary precautions, I returned his soul and we began a rather tense journey to his bank in
Port City.
After being paid, he demanded a name. I had a few ideas but decided on the one he offered in his ramblings:
Koryan.
"I knew it!", is how he responded. "Tell him Frenar sent ye.", his final request.
I fully intended to leave him to his devices and reap my bounty in
Port City on expensive tastes and cheap thrills... until I spoke to
Jade. I told her what happened, as I tend to tell her everything, and she was furious. Demanding explanation (
for DEALING with Goldenhammer) and speaking nothing less then caustic venom against the dwarf. I found myself wondering the veracity of any of the -numerous- accusations against him. In our dealings, I found him to be nothing less than an honorable, if misguided, business man. And a fine one at that. Finer I have yet to find, in the
Vardo or the
Goose. I defended him, and myself, like some barrister. In doing so, I found how empty the smoke screen of charges truly were and I began to wonder on my actions...
I sought
Goldenhammer out, and with great precaution, told him of my deception. He demanded his
Wolf
Fang back, I proposed another arrangement. I would offer my services for a contract, and would do all within my power (
apart from die for- I do so enjoy living) to help his Clan prosper and save face. He stared at me a long while before responding...
"Usually I seek out others and hire them out. You done went and made everything backward! ...You're hired."
