Miss Elwes is very impressed by the amazing linguistic skills of the introduction, and she begins to talk in a hushed tones that only the trio can hear. As you have guessed, I represent Lady Glendower will not be attending tonight's events. However, I can assure that we do have a similar interests in mind. She wants the bill to pass. I want the bill to pass. However, it does need a 2/3 majority to pass, and its looking to fall a bit short. However, if you could help me, I might be able to help you.... Lord Helling is the only person on the counsel who hasn't voted yet. He might be enough of a swing vote that tip it toward passing. Let's see you bring him to the counsel and he votes my way, I'd be very generous. I have an excellent idea of how generous you would like. How about 7,000 Y generous?
Some quick negotiations later...
That was some difficult negotiations, but I think 10,000 Y a person is my final offer. That said, Lord Helling is at his home in on the edge of town. Be careful! Threats to the counsels life are quite common, so he's fortified the entire estate.
The party passes around you as you receive this information. Lot's of glad handing representatives and food trays float around the room.
