Okay. Considering that we now have a little more money, I would suggest buying information about the goblins. I won't insist, but I'm increasingly leaning towards the idea that this information will help us avoid a surprise attack. Everything else is, of course, less important.
It will cost about 36-37 seliks from each of us. And we'll have to borrow. If Ar doesn't mind, we can borrow from Mr. Kayoshi.
Here's the breakdown: Asterion has 55 seliks, of which 50... Oh, wait, actually 68 will be spent on weapons.
Ghulweig has 115 seliks, of which 67-68 would be nice to spend on a hotel, or maybe a gym... We need 33 for drinks. So, at least I'd like to cover the cost of the alcohol, and then I'll have enough for my share of the information.
Actually, if you think about it, that's a lot of money, 83 seliks... I'm not sure Ar will agree, but it will be easy to pay them back if we succeed.
Alternatively, we can just take a little more from everyone, and not take anything from Asterion, but is he special or something? Anyway, if everyone agrees, and Ar agrees, let's buy it. On the condition that everyone participates in the contest and then chips in. If not, well, that's fine. But I suspect that in that case, someone will end up injured, a serious suspicion, and treating them will be much more expensive. Or even worse.
I'm not saying, however, that everything will go smoothly with the information.
And don't forget the vodka at the bar.
