ooc: Well, there may be other PC's coming back from sitting in the meeting for the MA that could join. There's 6 or 7 in there waiting, so maybe some will come back for this.

"Yes, well, there's always the fine print, so the shovel alone won't win you the reward. You see, I never knew my grandfather, Fimbus Leyron Aukits Macklerey Gimmons the First. But apparently, he left my father an inheritance that was stolen, and all my dad had to go on was that stupid looking shovel. After he made his own fortune, he put fliers up all around Fallon hoping that someone could give him a lead on his stolen inheritance, but all we ever heard from were fakes and fogies. But now you've found such a shovel and so many years after the theft, this is... well, exciting to say the least!"Galwynn: said:

OOC: Fimble seems genuinely excited and sounds like he's telling the truth.

Intrigued, Tommy leans forward. "So your father's inheritance was stolen some while ago, and... wait, was this very shovel right here among the things stolen, or did the thieves leave behind another shovel like it? I wonder if perhaps your father, or maybe your grandfather, is the unknowning possessor of a secret door. Hmm. Fimble, do you know anything about the the seal on the shovel?"

"Yes, the latter. The story goes that my grandfather's fortune was buried in a chest, but before my father could get to it, thieves had taken it and left behind the shovel. As for the seal, I know less than you do. My father never found an instance of it again."Tommy: said:

"My grandfather was a hero in the Medibarian war, but he was assassinated during the victory celebrations. The king gave my grandmother a large compensation for her loss, and rather than spend it, she hid it away so her son could have it when he came of age. She caught a mysterious illness when my father was 40, and she only barely managed to pass the secret of its location on to him before she died. He went to where it was hidden, buried in the woods near their house, but it had already been dug up. Where there should have been an undisturbed patch of ground, he found a freshly dug hole. In the hole there was a chest containing only a few rocks, and beside the chest was one of these strange shovels. My father searched for the thieves a long time, but never found a trace of them besides that branded shovel."
