[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

Nacesh snaps in at this point as time is running out and this game sounds way deadlier than convenient. As someone fairly well versed in diplomacy and gathering information he smelled a trap.
"Can you be more precise in what qualifies as 'sufficient' information? Will he 'pardon' us for granted, or is it at his discretion whether he deems the information 'sufficient' or not?"

The spearman really wanted to go into the details of how this creature of the nine... whatever... has power of pardoning crimes of this plane of existence but it wasn't necessary at the moment. He hoped for being able to ask for such details later.

Sorry, it just sounded funny to me!  

[OoC: I'm not expecting an Essay about a D&D world you have little knowledge of.  But if you were to say, I tell the ambassador only about the City of Cantus, then you're not fulfilling your part of the bargain and he will wait for you to share more information.  You can start by telling him some personal background information.  A major feature of this world are the cracks in the dimensional barriers between different locations like the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, etc.  Imagine what you would say if someone asked you describe Earth to an Alien species.  The Magistrate has for some reason, taken it upon himself to offer you guidance to help you avoid being taken advantage of by the ambassador.  He will step in if he feels the ambassador is purposely prolonging the exchange of information.  You all can have your suspicions but I would like to point out that so far the Magistrate has been extremely helpful despite being the person who would have to creatively choose your ReMakings if this negotiation fails.]

The Magistrate quickly explains the above information, then says, "You are running out of time.  I can't offer you much more reassurance and advise.  I am doing everything I can to help you help yourselves.  If you are too concerned that I am trying to steer you down the wrong path to offer the ambassador information then sadly we might as well leave and begin your ReMakings."
