>If you wanted to throw Adler a curveball, what if "Uncle Ash" is the real Lord Randal. From what I recall, the gravestone said he was poisoned, it never said that he died. What does he want? He wants his name cleared and his position of power back. Sounds familiar...
>Vernier and Oak: Start speculating that Adler might be "the other way".
>Adler: Hold on, inform them that speculating about someone right in front of him is just plain rude, also you have perfectly legitimate reasons for not trying to court them. One: When you specifically requested to interview skunk women, you are looking for someone specific. An elf. Vernier had useful skills so he hired her instead of sending her away. Two: You where the one who transformed Oak and it would be strange as well as an abuse of your mentor status to pursue a relationship with her. Three: You have tried flirting with them both on your first meetings and neither one noticed, so you gave up.
>Oak and Vernier: *start whining* "You gave up on us so easily? Are we really so hideous?"
>Adler: "No fair! Stop using wiles on me!"
>Vernier and Oak: "But... We're not."
>Ixies: Intervene. Tell everyone to stay on track, this is a professional meeting. No hanky-panky.
>Adler: You felt like you were on the verge of groveling. And they weren't even trying to use wiles on you? Something's wrong. You need to build a tolerance for lowfolk women asap!
