From: Mr Fires' Lackey


His loyalty is evidently transferable: perhaps you'd like it directed towards yourself instead.

Game Instructions: If you do this, you will not be able to return him to Mr Fires' service afterwards: these days, Mr Fires has too little interest in the GHR to re-engage him.

Success

A receptive hearing

He listens to you [...] Then he reaches under the table [...] "Drink up! Made this myself. Private recipe, so I don't line the pockets of Mr Wines or any of them."

The private recipe swirls ominously, but does not poison you. And there's a new loyalty confirmed.


Failure

No sale

You try encouragement; he pretends not to understand you. You try promises; he expresses the view that his current patron is powerful enough for him.
