- Single contact option
- +++ Missing Information +++
Level 30-34
You should strike up a conversation with a fellow who goes by the name Hard Luck. He's a casino enforcer, and he knows all the ins and outs of St. Martial. Plus, he can get you Natural and Technology Enhancements.
Hard Luck is a cold-hearted man, but he gets his job done. Learn from him.
I know a guy by the name of Hardcase. Have you heard the rumors of demons plaguing St. Martial? Well, Hardcase supposedly hunts these monsters and is looking for freelancers to help him with his work. He can get you Magic and Natural Enhancements.
Hardcase is a fairly serious man, but considering his profession, it's understandable.
You should look up Vivacious Verandi. She's a relative of the Verandis, but lately she spends most of her time hanging out with the Carnival. She's interested in everything St. Martial has to offer, and she can afford to pay you well. Viv has access to Mutant and Magic Enhancements.
Viv is a frisky girl. Be wary of her.
Information
Broker
Isabel runs a high-dollar escort service in Babylon. Her girls find out a million secrets, and Isabel sells each one for twice that. She's wired into just about everyone and everything going on in St. Martial. Just don't cross her. Those that do have often been surprised by her sultry agents.
Wrong Broker
You're hot, sweetness, but I think you're looking for Ian the Shark instead.
Too Low Level
I prefer high-rollers, darling. Nothing personal. Come back when you're Threat Level 30 and we'll talk more..
Initial contact
Hi darling. It's simply grand to meet you. I'm Isabel the Knife. I run an escort service that caters only to the high-rollers around here. My people tell me what they hear, and I pass it on to people like you who can get things done quietly. Honor your bargains with me and I anticipate a long and lucrative friendship.
Greeting
- I'm waiting on my girls to report in. Come back later and I might have something for you.
- If you're looking for a good crime call Character. That's what I always say.
Too Busy
You're far too busy right now, darling. Try back after you've finished some of your other business.
