You greet each other cordially and strike up a conversation. It quickly becomes apparent that they mistake you for someone else:

“We're really glad to see you; the men are waiting for pay and starting to get impatient. If I remember correctly, you were supposed to bring us around 200 coins... but a little advance payment wouldn't hurt, would it? Could you tell the boss to give us 1,000 next time?”

You try to explain that you're not who they think you are, but you can't convince them.

“Tsk! You Dwarves are really as stingy as they say! You're actually trying to swindle our pay right under your boss's nose? You're going to pay us now, or I swear it won't just be your beard we're going to trim!”

You can pay 200 Coins to return safely to 75.
