Studying old records has led me to believe there are some untouched pockets of old tech in the Old City that have been allowed to go unexplored because of large numbers of hostile pokemon hanging around them. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something in the old caches that was CAUSING them to be more hostile, but there's no way to find out without looking for ourselves.

Unfortunately, I'm not a delver, and I can't levitate with my mind or shoot fireballs from my eyes like some enlightened can. I want to get down there, though, so I'm proposing mounting an expedition. What one man cannot do on his own, many others working together will have no difficulty with.

[He brings out a map of the Old City and points to three red circles in a relatively small area of it.]

The caches are here, here, and here. I'd want some other engineers and probably a few delvers, plus anyone who can fight or carry heavy things around. Who's interested in advancing the cause of SCIENCE!?

Other delvers'll just screw it up. You know I know how to handle your equipment. That said I might be willing to reduce my price for some salvage rights.

Other delvers might not be quite as good as you, but at least they don't resort to daytime robbery. But maybe if I offer you [A slightly LOWER amount of money.] and salvage rights to any non technological but valuable artifacts, you'll accept out of sheer embarrassment over your extortion attempts.

Make it [a bit higher amount but generally more reasonable] and you've got a deal.

[schmott_guy]

Shameless brigand. Fine, deal.
