It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of eternity, it was the epoch of kindness, it was the epoch of violence, it was the season of giving, it was the season of taking, and then he forgets the rest. When it came to long-winded introductions, arguments that would win him a lot of money, Chrys was no stranger to writing and giving his best. The only exception, of course, was when he wasn't getting paid to write and give these introductions, these arguments, and when getting to the end would win him more money. Case in point: This thing about a mysterious mine of edible red and white ores. One would think Chrys wouldn't be interested, mostly because that sounds more like a child's fantasy, but one should remember that Chrys both has a mining company and a tavern.
"So, yeah, those would be very useful in both my business ventures. You guys in?"
When he pitched the expedition to his Golden God Mining Co. crew, it didn't take them long to agree. Of course, it helped that there were only two other guys who'd actually be going with him while the rest would be left at the tavern, where they usually worked, but that didn't stop Chrys from thinking his friends, @Ayna Nietzsche and @Kamala Graham, would also be easily swayed. After all, an adventure based on a story? Twas the season!
But Chrys had no real contact with The Crystal Nomads and he has never been anywhere near Zakaden before. It goes without saying that he's never seen the mysterious mine for himself, especially not the edible ores they'd be mining for. All that he had was a story from a passing adventurer, and he wasn't even the one who heard it himself: It was one of his lander employees at the Wicked's Rest Tavern and Funeral Parlor. What could go wrong?
