[Cheesecake]

Look through the peep hole (wait, I don't think we have one), if not, open the door slightly and see who it is.

[vastaghen12]

Make a dynamic exit through window, go upstairs and tell them the door was stuck

Answer destiny's call

[Harry Baldman]

Knock back. See reaction. If nobody knocks back, take a look at who it might be if there's a peephole. If not, open the door, but only a bit, and take a look.

[Maldevious]

I say we just open the door. This is a perfectly normal day* ; why would we react so oddly to a visitor?

* so far...

[Haspen]

You stand up and move toward the door. It never hurts to be cautious, so you open the door only a bit and peek through to look at the person behind.

It is a city official or some kind of aristocrat; the large belly and exquisite silken robes betray him easily. He has long, black moustache and a black court hat as well. You open the door and step outside, only to notice two haulers with baskets full of cloth, standing at the middle of the stairs.

"Are you Li Wu, who is maker of clothes? My master, Lord Cao, is asking you to make few clothes for him and his beautiful misstress, Lady Zhou, who will soon be his beloved wife." You never dealt with Cao or anyone of his household - because you never heard of such man in Luoyang, he might be a newcomer. Then again, you never dealt with the high aristocracy either, but that kind of people often have their own clothiers...

Take the job.
High wealth people usually pay lots forthings like this, especially if we take our time and make sure the clothes are perfect.

"I can do it." Hearing your reply, the fat messenger grins widely.

"Excellent. Lord Cao knew that you are up for this task." The official stepped aside and his henchmen brought the baskets inside.

"Now, the details. Lord Cao wants a robe of blue silk with a dragon on it's back, the dragon must be from red silk. For this robe, you will make a silken belt, of lavender colour and with turquoises sewn into it. No worries, the gemstones are in the second basket. As for Lady Zhou, my great master wants a purple robe with golden sleeves and edges." After finishing, the official rubbed his double chin.

"That would be all." He added and let the haulers go down the stairs. "I will be back at tomorrow evening. Do not be late, Li Wu! Lord Cao's rewards are only shadowed by the might of his anger at someone's failure." The fat official managed to bow a little and then he slowly went downstairs as well, the wood creaking under him loudly.

[Maldevious]

That seems very unreasonable. Are we skilled enough to complete this task on time?

[Parsely]

Oh God what have we gotten ourselves into.

[SOLDIER First]

Finish the other dress if necessary. Then start on the Dragon Robe, the Belted Robe, and the Golden Robe, in that order.

Li Wu has been working on clothes since he was six, so that's almost fifteen years of practice by now

[Maldevious]

Well then let's get to work!

[Parsely]

Well then let's get to work!

Yes!
