Avarice beckons towards Dantalis after his story is finished, offering him an ale as he approaches.
"My favorite maiden-saving dwarf, how have you been...?"
Avarice commences with small talk and the like. After pleasantries, Avarice gets to the heart of the issue that he'd like to discuss with Dantalis.
"... so my friend, I need your help with something. I have a mining claim that I need appraised. I don't mean to stereotype or anything, but I was hoping that you'd know a dwarf, or know a dwarf who knows a dwarf who may be able to assist me in that task. If not, would you mind asking Garl Glittergold if he might know someone? He doesn't seem like the type to assist a non-dwarf, nevermind a Tiefling on top of that. What do you say, am I talking to the right guy?"

"It's about a 2-day ride from town, in the ruins of a keep known as Quasketon, or something like that. There's a vein of gemstone within that the Bounty Hunter's Guild is considering as an investment opportunity. Are you familiar with any gemstone veins in that area?"

"alright i can accept five percent the lapis there is about two thousand gold coins worth and from how it was looking when i was there last itll take a couple months hard mining to clear it all out but there might be more beyond that though i do doubt it heavily"

Avarice seems crestfallen that the initial appraisal isn't higher. We begins to calculate costs of such a venture in his head, and then shakes in angrily.
"Damn... I see. With that estimate, the costs seem fairly prohibitive... Let me think about this, and I'll see if I can come up with a way to cut costs. Regardless, if I choose to pursue it I'll pay you the agreed 100 GP as soon as excavation is complete. Is that satisfactory with you?"

"It is. I do hope you find a way it may not seem it but any vein is a good vein"

Avarice nods absentmindedly, clearly analyzing the new facets of this opportunity. He seems to snap out of it after Dantalis' last sentence, and smiles towards the dwarf.
"Too true, my friend... too true. I'll be sure to give you the first choice of my product, should you request your payment that way instead. Thank you for the information. If you'll excuse me."
Avarice walks out of McGinty's, formulating a new plan for the mining operation.
