5 stalch the druglord

Apart froom the new front door, the home had no other thing to differentiate. If they where not told it was the hideout, they wold never know.

The party were stooping outside the door, nobody new how to proceed. Then, daija gave a simple, awkward hit on the door.

They waited some seconds. A woman than opened the door. She looks on the middle of her forties, having some white hair mixed with the brown majority. The woman dressed in a dirty plain looking yellow drees. Daija starts saying:

" we need to see the boss, can we get inside?"

The woman steps aside and give than passage. As they are getting inside, the gunslinger pulled nayla aside and said:

" I have a very important task for you, you will wait outside. Right around the corner. If anyone get inside, you make some loud owl noises. Don't stand out, okay?"

The little girl went beside a stair to the third floor. She mixed herself with the shadows and sited there, barely moving. The rest of the group got inside the house

It was a simple place, the room they where had a table with a bench, a simple rusty stove and a kids bed. There was a simple rags intersection, behind witch was probably the womans room. The woman was making some kind of soup, mixing it without saying a word. After some longe award seconds, d'kaji said:

" where is the boss?"

Witch she promptly After about 30 more seconds, daija lost her pacinece. She grabs the woman shoulder and turns her, revealing her face. Her eyes darting acros de room. The mouth permanently open, like she was in a R.e.m state of sleep. Daija grasped and took 2 steps back. The gunslinger warned:

"She is drugged. Its the result of extreme xatis flower when someone is not uses to it. She will stay like that for a while, and then she will crave for more. Its the drugs cycle. Witch means we are close.

D'kaji than got closer to the woman and opened the box for her. There were many kilograms of the petals of the flower, witch was the most concentrated part. The woman happily smiled, but in a dizzy way, like it was all a dream to her. She moved closed to the wall and knocked on it five times evenly spaced. Than she returned to making the soup. But every once in a while, she look back to the xitas and smiled.

A few seconds pass, and a hidden door opens beside the place where the woman knocked. A man with a rat like face and a hairless skin opened it, with a short hatchet in hand. He said in a voice that sounded like a rats scratching:

" you are the dealers hun? I see you have a catman as well hun? *hick* boss will like to talk to you"

He opens the full door, showing a tunnel with stairs leading to the level bellow.

The man takes a step outside soo they can enter. There ir only space for two of than to go side bt side, the exception being the karumbe, witch took the space of two man wide. They got down one by one, arriving on ah big hall.

It looked like a mix of cave, tavern and slum building. It was about 7 meters tall, witch put it at least half bellow ground level, but the walls where covered in wood and clay, giving it a light atmosfere. There where a dozen tables, 6 chairs each, and a simple bartender table, with some high benches. On the end of the hall, a big cobblestone fireplace was lit, cooking a big pot of some kind of soup, mayne the daily dish. Besides that, a passage took to a corridor, with they couldn't see what was inside, and on top of the bar there appeared to be a large room hugging the wall. Made froom wood and an entrance on the side, the way made with a simple carved on the wall stair. On that room there was a balcony, with a big table.

"Boss is waiting up stairs." The rat man said, after a man waved on top of the stairs.

As they where to get up, the security examined than and said:" hey big guy, you stay down here, you never know".

Jaskal accepted, and sited on a stall. The bench made a crack noise, but resisted. The barman looked concerned to the enormous turtle man. That moment, a dancer came out of the corridor. She ware quite showing clothing, had a light purple scaly skin and small white horns. She started moving and seducing the other costumer, and smiled to the big turtleman. He got confused, and, as he wasn't capable of smiling, he just looked away. Luck y him, he couldn't get red as well, so he just looks disnterested.

As such, the 3 remaining got up the stairs. As they arrived by the door, the man witch waved at then told than to keep their weapons whit him

Daija reluctantly gave away her two swords, but looked quite pissed about it. Even more when she realized the gunslinger and d'kaji had hidden their weapons.

The bodyguard opened the door to a luxurious room. As luxurious as it gets in that part of the city. The walls where in a clean wood, and the floor had a simple carpet. There where a bunch of couches, a little kitchen corner, and some puffs around a big low table, where 4 man played a dice game. Three of than where the obvious henchman, having weapons on then, but looking quite relaxed, as the people getting inside where, probably, unarmed, and they where quite confident on themselfs

The man was the target they where looking for. A 2.5 meters high alligator man. Bras scales, tough look and rich clothing. He also where some jewelry, and had a fine looking scimitar on his side. He got up and started talking:

"So, you fellas wana sell me, stalch , a bag full of pure xitas petals and a barakaja slave? Name your price my good man"

He said,n directly at the gunslinger. Witch actually just listened to the last half, as he was surprised by one of the betting man. A 2,2 meters tall orange pigman. His sledge hammer changed to a brand new, full metal battle maul. But the gunslinger recognises him, made a shocked exprecion for 0.2 seconds. Hidden it, turned thr attention to thr man and tried to focus his attention, casualy hiding his face with a gesture, as he looked like he was holding his head with both hands behind his neck. He responded, without realizing the selling his partner part:

" indeed i am fella. Just tell me, how about... 15 Thousand pieces(the slang for the money on the slum)"

D'kaji gasped at his response, and walked in front of stalch and saying:" piss colored iguana can't have d'kaji. Shit" the barakaja didn't quite understand the way to speak quite yet, swearing especially, and pronuns.

The gunslinger and daija stopped, a could ran through their spines. How would the man react? What would he do to then?

Stalch than laughed a nice, long and loud laughter. He laughed so hard he panted and inclined to the front. As he gets better, he responds:

" this one have fiber, you would make a fine bodyguard or henchman. I would contract you"

D'kaji responded:" not for sale, or contracts."

With now everyone laughed. The boss and catman with joy, the henchman to dont lose their job and the vigilant and daija out of relive
