Grryth looks over to the pedestal and then the nearby window.
Hmmm not good, even if it is warded against teleporting.
He then looks at the skylight that is in the center of the room.
Again not good.
He looks around for a minute more while the introductions are going on and the nhe quickly looks towards Gurdis.
"OK here's what I'm thinkin."
Grryth starts off in a hushed tone so that those more than a few paces away have trouble hearing. "We gets sumthin roundish and place it atop the pedestal, and then drape a cloth over it - ya know ta keep the dust off. The we stoke up that fireplace nice and good and get that big pot Gurdis is preparing ta make her soup in. Looks good by the way, whatever it is yer makin. So then we throw the soup pot on the fire and get the soup nice an hot. Now I'm not an expert on gems, but I'm thinkin that it should be nice and safe in the bottom of that hot soup pot. Out of sight and out of reach."
Grryth looks around and then continues. "We then bar up yer front door nice and tight, and move that big table outtda way over into the corner and limit the possible points of entry to the window an the skylight. Maybe flip it up and use it fer cover"
Grryth then looks at the bedroom door. "Ya don't have any windows in there do ya"? He asks Gurdis. "If not, that wud be a good place fer ya to hide and keep out trouble."
"And for those of ya that didn't catch it in the tavern, the names Grryth...and I anit no stranger to fightin and protectin my packamtes."
