Taffic is desperately looking for allies in the group, so Korgan seems a good candidate for him.
Taffic: Ho Korgan Bloodaxe, I’m surprised to find you hanging about with this bunch. The way things are going there’s no fortune to be found in this group’s deeds.
Korgan: I’s beginning t’see that laddie. Still, thures a fair bit o’ lootin t’be done after the killing. Me axe here, now she be as ‘appy t’be spilling a few guts as I be to sorting thru ‘em!
Taffic: Still, it’s a bit of a comedown for the notorious Korgan Bloodaxe to be taking orders and not giving them wouldn’t you say?
Korgan: Lookie here laddie, jus’ cos I be helping these good folk out, don’t mean I be beholden to ‘em. Thure aint nuthun’ in the city fer a dwarf and ‘is axe, so as long as I can keep practising me swing agin a few eads, then this ‘ere suits me fine.
Taffic: Maybe, but you are by far the best fighter here, second only to myself, and I am certainly the best mage this group will ever find. So hows about you and me making sure we are getting our fair share of the spoils, say like keeping a couple of them fine gems we find back for ourselves? A little extra for the most excellent services that we provide, shall we say?
Korgan: Don’t work that way, I already tried it! Whenever I gets a thing in me pack, Vlad seems t’get a scent of it and *poof*, next store we be in it gets sold long with the rest o’ the stuff. I swear he can see right thru me damn pack, must be a perk o’havin’ a god for yer daddy!
Taffic: You noticed that too did you? I mean seeing into the pack thing? We could I suppose poke his eyes out, but that would only get us dismissed, or worse, dead. Mmm...
Korgan: (*A glint springs to his eye*) Heh-heh, yep but we’d be a might ‘arder to kill if the one doin’ the killing didn’t have no eyes.
Taffic: Heh-heh-heh, very true but I doubt we’d be any richer for our trouble. So I suppose we’ll have to think again. Leaving aside the poking out of eyes, which I think is a good idea, let’s both give some thought as to how we are going to exact payment to what we are worth, right Korgan my old mate?
Korgan: Aye, let’s think some more. (*Then turning away from the gnome*) Mate... Korgan b’ain no ones mate! The only mate Korgan ‘as a need fur is ‘is axe here and she be the only mate a dwarf’ll ever need!
