"Oh, a reward of some sort... well I'm uncertain what has happened to my finances in my absence. I should still have something with a bit more liquidity around here... let's see..."
The marquis stands up, still quite worn, and heads to a bookshelf two rooms away in the study where your equipment was left when it was supposedly 'tampered' with. He then locates a small lantern and turns it forty-five degrees before going to one of the drawers below the books and hitting three keys in no particular order. The last step he takes is to head to the very opposite side of the room and pull one of the books back from their shelf, revealing a small opening behind it. He reaches his hand in blindly, grabbing for whatever is back there.
"Well that's good news. Not everything has been rearranged in my absence."
The marquis pulls a small satin bag from the hole and shakes it's contents gingerly. There's not much there, only a few objects clink together inside. "I'd offer you more, but I'm certain there will be some contest of my estate given my... status... and lengthy absence. Consider this a down payment."
The bag is handed off to Errol first, and when he glances inside he sees that the contents are five rings. One each of copper, silver, electrum, gold, and platinum. They seem rather simple and undecorative, clearly not intended as noble jewelry pieces.
Jesme, silent until the hidden treasure was revealed, chimes in "Whatcha get? I want something!"
[sblock=Stats]Each ring provides an enhancement bonus to one ability score, a penalty to one ability score, and grants access to a feat.
Copper - +2 Wis, -2 Dex, Iron Will
Silver - +2 Dex, -2 Con, Lightning Reflexes
Electrum - +2 Con, -2 Str, Great Fortitude
Gold - +2 Str, -2 Int, Power Attack
Platinum - +2 Int, -2 Wis, Wild Talent
