She's neither mortal nor divine, she is the guardian and passive ruler of Sigil and she only interferes when the safety of her city is threatened. When she does intervene her power can overwhelm an Overgod. Her motives are truly unfathomable, but the mere fact that she is who she is would probably work in our favour. Anyone powerful enough to assault the auction would have to use violent force of a magnitude great enough to risk damaging the city. Their fear of the Lady should force them to take a more subtle approach, and I am confident I can beat them at that kind of game."Her pleading makes him shift uncomfortably as a part of him cries out to follow her lead, to surrender before her beauty. He crushes that voice resolutely but it keeps squirming beneath his feet."Your goddes Sune has made herself a representative of beauty. Her followers revere beauty and the precense of these tapestries would but strengthen their faith in her and recruit new followers to her cult. The goddess would claim the partonage and credit of these magnificent pieces of art that were likely created far beyond her cosmic sphere of infulence. She would exploit the work of artists who have never even heard her name to expand her own power. Even if she would openly declare that these works were created beyond her influence the implication would be the opposite, and the declaration would soon be forgotten. That would be a kind of theft, even if she would pay us for them."His expression softens."I would love to visit Waterdeep with you, but we should sell the art first. It seems once again we cannot agree, so we should vote for it as a group and commit ourselves to accept the vote of the majority."  He casts Greater Dispell to release the Hunter. If the first one doesn't work he will recall the spell with a Pearl of Power and cast it again. He then turns to the group in general."Do you wish to sell the tapestries to the temple of Sune in the  city of Waterdeep? Or would you prefer to auction them here in Sigil, the richest city of all?</blockquote>
