"But of course, come on in." Saying so, Ptolemys Contact turns and opens the door, letting the 2 Rebels into his Sales Room, where he usually displays maps and/or leads talks with people he wishes to hire or that wish to hire him.

The room is semicirular, and contains 2 medium sized (3*1.5m) map tables, a door, 3 chairs and a wallmounted "Expeditions" Map.

Closing the door behind his visitors, he harrumphs. "Thank you for considering to help. I know I am usually the one arguing against angering the Empire, but if this Duke simply takes over, there are no limits but the basic laws restricting his abuses.

He seems careful not to speak too loud, and is obviously waiting for suggestions from people with more power than himself...
