"Well, there was this one time that kind of got me kicked out of my previous area of residence but other than that, no not really."
Howard shrugs. "Well, that don't matter too much here. What I've got is worth getting kicked out of White Rocks."
Howard pulls out a worn piece of paper from his pocket and smooths it out on the table. The paper has a picture of a mean-looking Gabbo with a large scar and an eyepatch next to a Slime-Person wearing similar ornaments and fetishes to the ones you've just fought. The words "12,000z reward" and "Dead or Alive" frame the pictures in large, bold font. The smaller text, presumably listing their crimes and contact info for the bounty, has been smudged beyond all comprehension.
"Normally I'd chat you up a bit more, but you two seem eager so let's get down to it. The bounty for Gweh the Mystic and One-Eye Blakka is now up 12,000 Zesg. Only the Lehman brothers had a larger bounty on their heads, but that was 4,000 a pop. Now the good news is that I've got a good lead on them. The bad news is that my lead got himself killed, the idiot. Still, the pair are nearby, so we ought to be able to find their trail and catch up with them easily. I can't say it'll be easy, but with you all on our side we ought to have a good shot at taking them both out. We'll split the 12,000 and use whatever bounties are on the rest of their posse to pay for food, ammo and repairs. What do you say, sound like a deal?"
