None of the other creatures appear to be paying you any mind.

“Oh, hello sir, you wouldn’t happen to know of a way to get back to the overworld, would you?”

Tiefling: "I see, you are...the mark our last client sought after."

Are you setting down your weapons, by the way?

After he said that I feel like that’s a bad idea

Really?

Tiefling: "Sir, I'll be forced to call for security if you do not comply."

“Ok, ok.”

I’ll do it I guess

The psychic already had disarmed himself.

He yanks off his mask, his face flushed and sweating.

Psychic: "Oh thank fuck."

I will also remove my mask

Tiefling: "Yes, you appear as described."

“So, sir, would you happen to know of a way for us to get back to the overworld?”

Tiefling: "Yes, the material plane is it?"

Seems right

“Yes.”

"I sense some animosity between us. What I said earlier is not to imply and ill-will towards you. You see, my job is to draft contracts for our clients. Some seek power, others knowledge, we do not care about the goal of it. We simply serve, and receive payment."

"If transport is what you desire, then such payment will be required."

“What exactly is the payment?”

He looks you up and down.

rusp, you should glue yourself to your soul while you can

worrying

Tiefling: "Hmm, it depends on the person."

"For you....your arm should suffice."

oof

“My arm?!”

Psychic: "Hey, I only got 2 of those-"

wait was he talking to me or the psychic?

Tiefling: "Oh no, you can pay through other means sir."

To you

“Is there any other ways I could pay? I’m not very keen on giving up an appendage.”

"To be frank, you don't appear to posses much to offer."

o o f

Tiefling: "...I suppose, we can let you back out the way you came."

“Huh?”

“No thank you!”

Tiefling: "You're quite in a predicament then."

“Is there really nothing else I could use as payment?”

hmm

He goes over to talk with the psychic.

Their walk off to the side to negotiate.

Well?

Uh

I could offer to do a job for them or something

The psychic comes back stone faced.

Psychic: "He wants my brain..."

“Your brain?”

"Well, part of it."

"They want to extract the knowledge or some nonsense."

“Hmm”

“These don’t really seem like favorable trades for us.”

Just then, you hear some rustling from the ceiling.

A black smog appears overhead, with a red winged demon crashing to the ground.

oh

Tiefling: "Oh for Pete's sake, you should know better than to use the emergency exit."

Demon: "Dude...not now 4 eyes."

I’d like to attempt to hide

from this man

because this is probably the man I shot

or is it

Tiefling: "Weapons at the front."

Demon: "Yeah yeah, in a sec! I need to handle something."

/r d20

@Gent: d20 = (6) = 6

hmm

I guess...roll a stealth check?

There's not much to hide in

Is this the demon I shot?

No, you don't know what happened to him. This is the other demon.

oh uh

hmm

he hasn’t seen me without my mask!

who needs to hide

haha

wew

Not hiding then?

nope

Demon: "A couple guys came through here, right? The guards wanted the two for disobeying the king."
