[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 6036027, member: 21938"] [sblock=Sil] Sil turns the ring in her hands, but apart from being able to tell that it is definitely jade and not imitation, she can make little of the piece. [/sblock] [sblock=Hang] Hang, however, is pretty sure it is the general article, a very old piece of work like most yellow jade is said to be. In fact, the starting price seems low for such an item. Either Vaal is desperate to get rid of it, or he's expecting a serious bidding war. Or both. [/sblock] [sblock=He-Mit] He-Mit recalls that yellow jade is said to always be found in worked form, as if someone (said to be the Lesser Dragon Empire which preceded mankind by millenia) found all the natural yellow jade in the world and carved it. It has properties associated with travel, and items were modified for use in the great Bird Ships of the Empire of Splendour (the last of which sailed over one hundred years ago). This still bears draconic imagery, so is probably an original, unmodified, Lesser Dragon Empire piece. [/sblock] [COLOR="Yellow"]"A friend of a friend came by a cache of these,"[/COLOR] says Vaal. [COLOR="Yellow"]"You'll forgive me if I don't tell you exactly where - there might be more yet to find. As to the provenance, I can tell you that it probably predates the Empire of Splendour."[/COLOR] A serving girl brings tea over for Vaal. He takes a sip and then looks into his cup, confused. [COLOR="Yellow"]"Wait, this isn't..."[/COLOR] he begins, before the cup explodes into shards of earthenware. A... thing explodes into being in front of him, bursting out of the tea cup. All flailing hairy legs, each tipped with a claw, clustered around a central point but no body. One of the legs spears Vaal through the chest and he drops to the floor. [sblock=OOC] Before we start, regarding Mal sizing up Blue, I reckon if GlassEye wants to make Stealth and Bluff rolls against those checks to try to cover up, that would help resolve what Mal is able to tell. Meanwhile: Initiative checks, please, plus statements of intent. Knowledge (nature) if you want any details of this thing. Any other checks as and when. He-Mit is currently holding the jade serpent ring. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
