[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 3963141, member: 552"] After dealing with the dwarf's trading post, your group seeks out a slightly seedy connection from previous endeavors. A man by the name of Animus Abdicere, an old friend that works the black market and serves as a pocket spellcaster and enchanter of sorts. His own tongue was slit out years ago, and the replacement he ripped out of a demon and had grafted on serves its purpose instead. [color=yellowgreen]"I see your haphazard trip into the mountains did pay off. I'm sorry I had to hedge my bets before. It was quite the carbunkle dealing with the Istivin Thieves Guild at the time. I had to make a repentance of sorts to prevent the poor sheep from catting away with my merchandise."[/color] He hints at some prior deal that didn't quite go your way due to other exchanges that previously occured. [color=yellowgreen]"As per the usual agreement, I can fence some of your more peculiar finds for you. I'll give you 30% up front, and 30% after the sale, taking only the [i]small[/i] finder's fee for myself."[/color] He operates his business on the presumption that he can sell the items for 90% to 100% of their market value. Assuming they are offered or mentioned, [color=yellowgreen]"The scrolls I can pay up-front for.

His reputation, however, is that much of his merchandise is not what it appears - and his enchantments are rumored to always have a back-door counterspell just in case he ever needs an unfair advantage.
