From: The Resolution of a Debt


If the Sleeping Merchant were woken, the Bazaar's Seal broken, the new Cedar planted, and the debt paid in (coin description) form, would that suffice?

Success

New-Minted CurrencySecond paragraph
1 - 7"We had hoped[…]for something that would guarantee a resolution. If the Bazaar's cities or the Bazaar's Masters do something that gives offence, we would have them sent to the Magistracy of the Evenlode, and tried under blended law."
8"The concession regarding the Evenlode is welcome," says the Solicitor-Baroness. "But the payment must also matter to the Bazaar, or it will not have a binding effect."
9, 11"This approaches what we asked," says the Solicitor-Baroness[…]"And we recognise it is no small thing that the Bazaar is tendering her stories as backing. But the bargain at first was meant to cover every individual the Bazaar had brought to the Neath."
10"This approaches what we asked," says the Solicitor-Baroness cautiously. "And the lacre promises a more monstrous Neath. It is encouraging; but I think it is not enough. What prevents the Bazaar from breaking her commitments?"
12, 14"This approaches what we asked," says the Solicitor-Baroness cautiously. "It does surrender the Bazaar's servants to the Magistracy, if we require and arbitration. But I would wish to see an arrangement that the Bazaar could not so easily break."
13"This approaches what we asked," says the Solicitor-Baroness […] "And we recognise it is no small thing that the Bazaar is tendering her stories as backing. But we were promised a payment that would be numbered with the count of souls in the Neath."
15"It is a strong payment," says the Solicitor-Baroness coldly, with unyielding majesty. "But we would have liked also to see an apology."

Failure

Curt and unambiguous refusal

[…]

Hell, she implies, does better for its clients, and she will not consent to anything so feeble.
