[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 4990217, member: 11146"] [sblock=Ambrus]Knowledge (religion) 19. The symbol on the coin isn't one Taran has encountered in either life or his readings.[/sblock] Sir Jasper doesn't flinch in the face of Talashia's budding wrath but does pin her with a focused gaze that seems to suggest an outburst would be better had outside, not in his office. [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"I don't know who the forger might be, but mintners are in short supply in this region and a press is a heavy bulky object that would be difficult to transport in secrecy. You might hire an inquiry in Magnimar to determine whether a press has recently been stolen. I've not heard of such a theft, but that doesn't mean one hasn't occured. More likely is that a mintner's been blackmailed into service. Unfortunately, the latter circumstance is harder to investigate and nearly impossible to prove. The best I can do is confirm that Sandpoint itself has no mintner; it is therefore a reasonable conclusion that the coins were pressed elsewhere and transported here either by ship or overland means."[/COLOR] Sir Jasper frowns and pauses.
