Brightwater investing (Moore, 89 days left)

[Nephrite]

"I would like to conscript some individuals who have debt to this place for Aurora's cause." Moore says, stating it flatly and without any attempt to make it flowery.

"If you want me to sign something I can, otherwise my idea would be that they would make the money back working for us and then provide it to you." Moore adds. "They would be returned to Brightwater if for whatever reason they tried to escape from Aurora to avoid paying."

[Anastasia]

"Do what you will," The man smiles and waves a hand, "This is a Lliiran casino, no ta Waukeenite casino. The debts aren't the point, we only bother with them because we have to. You'll have to provide proof you're from Aurora, though."

He sits back after, resting his head on the wall, "Frankly, we'll give out the debts on any justification as long as it's doing good and letting people have fun. Life is a party, not drudgery to pay off debts."

[Nephrite]

Moore blinks and his shoulders sag a bit. "Am I really not famous enough yet...?" He drops his head down.

"Sure, how would you care for me to do that?" Actually, how -can- he prove that...?

[Anastasia]

"Look me in the eye and tell me you're from Aurora," The man says, waiting.

[Nephrite]

"You might regret this if you look too deep, just as a fair warning." Moore says with a good-natured smile as he does as he's asked. "I am from Aurora. If it helps any, I have been commanded to spread joy and celebration by the Lady of Joy, as well."

[Anastasia]

He takes 10 on Sense Motive.

"Sure," he says, "I believe you, so choose wisely and get people who are willing. As long as good comes from it and they're doing it willfully."

[Nephrite]

"I was really expecting some sort of overwhelming awe about that." Moore admits. "I clearly need to work on my gravitas." He laughs and offers a bow. "Thank you sir."

time to go find the watery man!

Fortune is with you - he's still there, now drinking from a mug and watching people walk by.

[Nephrite]

"I have some good news for you." Moore says. "The Lliirans are willing to allow you to come to Aurora to do some good deeds as recompense for your debts."

[Anastasia]

"Well hell," The man grunts, "You get that in writing? The words of the wrong Waukeenite's worth less than a puddle of piss."

[Nephrite]

"Mm, he seemed sincere enough. I don't think there'd be any issues."

Wait, he sais Waukeenite... oh dear. "You bring up a point, though, do you and your friends have debts at the Waukeen casinos as well?" He asks.

"I don't think that's a deal-breaker, you'll eventually be able to pay back the debt and you'll be doing something for the good of all, so I can probably haggle with them if I need to."

[Anastasia]

"No, but like hell if I don't want it in writing. Even if they aren't, they know Waukeenites and they smell gold like a dragon smells it." The man gives you a long, sour look.

[Nephrite]

"Hm. You'll just have to trust me that I know what I'm talking about." Moore says with a smile. "We have a vetting process on Aurora anyway, so that should clear up any concerns that any of them may have anyway."

He's trying to just smooth talk himself out of this one, not sure if that's a bluff or diplomacy or something else.
