Mercenary Meeting

[Prodigal]

The King requests the presence of all three leaders of the available mercs at his palace.

[Dave Strider]

OOC: That won't be good for your economy, that's 75%

[Prodigal]

OOC: Did I say I would hire all of them?

[Barry Goldwater]

Giraud, Juarez and Karageorge all show up on time, dressed in the finest clothes they could afford.

[Prodigal]

They are all lead to a lavish room, where the King is waiting for them. All are offered fine alcohol and gestured to seats.

Welcome, exalted leaders, to my Kingdom. Now let us speak of the war.

[Barry Goldwater]

Karageorge is first to speak.

"Ah yes, the war. You are presently fighting your own countrymen - is that not correct, Your Majesty? However, I care not for your national ties, and neither do these men here I'm sure."

The three chortle before Karageorge continues,

"However, I must say I was inspired by your crushing victory over the heathen Turk and your liberation of the Greeks. I may be willing to cut a deal with you, if you would be so kind as to help us Serbians win our own freedom..."

[Prodigal]

My plans exactly, sir. If you fight for me until I can re-unite the nation, then I will help free Serbia. Of course, this is to be kept under-wraps.

[Barry Goldwater]

Karageorge laughs and claps.

"Excellent! In that case, I think we can shave some numbers off our price tag, heh..."

OOC: Cut price down to 15%.

[Prodigal]

Good then, I accept.

The president turns to the Frenchman.

I understand you are monarchist exiles. Perhaps your price could be lowered and terms of length increased if I offered you refuge and titles here in a monarchy?

[Barry Goldwater]

Giraud nods slowly.

"Hmm...the French government will not welcome me, a dishonored soldier, and I doubt there are other opportunities...I need to make a decent living, I cannot keep being shot at every day just to get by...very well, I agree."

Juarez nods as well.

"The same here, Your Majesty. I wouldn't mind some land in the Southwest, closer to Nueva Espana."

OOC: Both mercs' prices slashed to 15%.

[Prodigal]

Ioannis smiles.

Perfect, welcome to the UKA, gentlemen, I look forward to fighting alongside you!
