DW-GN
Bottlenose of the Gnomes,
The fairest and noblest resolution to this unusual sighting is for us to agree that we shall each be left free to investigate without any further conditions, which is the same reasonable resolution the Ancient Ones and Warlock have come to. This would amount to a 50/50 chance you get what you covet. If you set your wizards against my leaders you will have to wait until next turn to attempt an investigation and you'll be faced with the same quandary next month, that is if I haven't secured the artifact by then and snuck a blade into the heart of Renzik himself. Blood is your worst option.
If you agree that we shall both investigate without blood being shed between the parties but still wish to negotiate for the artifact in the event I retrieve it, then what conditions do you offer should you retrieve it? I would expect the same rights as you would demand of me.
If you want me to refrain from investigating myself and to have the sole right to secure the artifact this is possible, but that would come at a steep price. What is it worth to you, this precious Stone of All Minds? Not a dagger, apparently.
