A Debit of Knowledge
Kelestri's eyes widened suddenly as the idea struck her. In that moment she was back in the Calimport marketplace intensely haggling for cloth and wares. Only now, around her were volumes of knowledge she could not begin to sort through in a lifetime. Her eyes affixed intently upon the reticent man who's spine seemed slightly arched beneath his scriber's cloak. "Perhaps we can repay this loan with the knowledge we bring back? Maybe our good friend Animosus Constans, the new Kurth Garrison Commander, can vouch for our good name?"
Kelestri knew she had him. "Animosus was here just yesterday, er, let's reduce the fee to a mere 150 gold. We look forward to the information you will bring us from the Earthspur Mountains. Lives were given to acquire this map; the knowledge you return to us should be commensurate. Please wait here a moment while we procure the map."
