No need to flag down transport, you are keeping the ride you got at the airport unless you go somewhere dangerous.

The approach should be as simple as telling the necessary parts of the truth. The dockmaster gave us his name as a contact that would have the information we're looking for.
The dockmaster compared us to two-bit bounty hunters, maybe use that as a cover if needed. |

6250+ (Total Upfront Per Diem)
1960- (Gun mods) 25000+ (Two Days Pay) 50- (Harbormaster bribe) 29240 (Total excluding missing incidentals) So if my notes, and math, are right, then the team has monetary assets totaling 29,240¥. Not close, but not far off either. Though remember, our bonus for the Map is 50,000¥, so we really shouldn't pay even if we could cover the rest. |

That's what negotiations are for, not having to pay the full amount asked.

Even if Torley, hypothetically, talked it down to half, we'd be paying 25k to eventually maybe net 25k. We could still screw this up and not get the Map. We need Hippo to agree to a non-monetary form of payment.

Crossbow, if you need a roll for negotiating method of payment, here:
CHA 6 + Negotiate 4 + imroved Negotiate 2 + kinesics 3 = 15 dice 5 HITS |

Speaking of drugs, not that we were, but I am just saying....
Necro, when was the last time that O'Conner had a hit of Zen? |

Any bets on whether the thing we seek is clinking in the parcel we are being hired to deliver to someone else? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Let's see, you probably didn't take one on the night you accepted the job (1). Travel day by air (2). Nightmare in the Jungle (3). Arrive in Lagos from pirate camp. (4) Piss off the Area Boys and meet the racist South Africans. (5) Party with the king (6) Meeting Hippo. That makes 7, you probably should make a check, not a big deal, but still.

So, while Torley is talking to Hippo, any chance someone can ooglie-googlie the bag to see if it radiates Magic?
"Ooglie-googlie" is a technical term. Look it up! |

Okay, so figure the trigger was being shown there are drug dealers in Lagos. Until, you can get a hit and find somewhere safe to wind down, consider yourself distracted (-1 to all, dice pools) Feel free to write a post about it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
