“It seems,” Hookwolf said, “The Travelers and the Undersiders won’t agree to our terms for the truce. Merchants, Pure, Faultline, Coil? Are you willing to band together with my group?”
But yeah, I suppose the truce proper isn’t really in effect yet.
And it’s looking that it’ll be Undertravelers vs Empire Mercoiline.
Maybe having it both ways was Coil’s plan here? Getting a foot in on either side of this conflict?
Purity, Coil and Skidmark nodded. Faultline shook her head.
“You’re saying no, Faultline?”
Ooh! Another ally? Or are they going to pull the same schtick they did last time and go with “whoever pays more”?
“We’re mercenaries. We can’t take a job without pay. Even a job as important as this.”
Looks like it.
Well. The Undertravelers have money to spend, but so does the guy who provided them with that money in the first place.
Question is whether he’ll make a bid or let the Undertravelers have Faultline.
Besides, the other groups probably aren’t poor either.
“I will handle your payment here as I did for the ABB, Faultline,” Coil said, sounding just a touch exasperated.
Alright, guess he’s going for it. I suppose his main objective is to get as many people against the Slaughterhouse Nine as he can.
