IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part I

"I could use some worship as well, though i suspect mine is much closer to Breth's variety than your's Viktor."

"Boldak, lets split this stuff up and get it taken care of as quickly as we can.... There is a fresh cask of ale calling our name... i can hear it now."

"Viktor, we'll be at the Dog after we're done."

"Everyone keep quiet about what we've found and where we've found it.... We don't need any hero miners trying to unearth more riches......"

"Well, since some people know what we were up to, I assume that people will be able to figure out where it came from. Maybe if we wait a while to sell all this, we'll be able to protect the investment. Along with saving others from a fatal adventure. Which is really the more important point."

"People around here are too concerned with surviving to worry about a bunch of folks like us finding some bracelet. Besides, us returning cut up... not to mention dead... is hardly going to encourage anyone to explore that particular cairn after they've been avoiding it for years," responds Boldak. "We should definitely hit up the alchemist first, for he just might be able to tell us about the other magical items we've found."

He turns to Alexis saying, "Speeding up the process isn't a bad idea. Why don't you take the armband and statues to Tidwoad's. Don't settle for his initial offer, though..."

"You might want to be leery of his second as well. Should we head up to smelter's?"

 

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=Those going to the smelting house]Boldak and Breth head to the smelting house. The place is a massive fortress-workshop perched on the edge of the lake. At this time of day, the place is extremely busy. The mines have been producing well.

On the northwest corner of the building is a small tower that serves as Benazel's residence and workshop. Benazel himself is a half-elf who seems rather talkative, and his office on the ground floor of the tower contains a large display of alchemical items and well as some minor magical potions.

As you explain what you need, the half-elf butts in with "hmmm"s and "ohhhh"s constantly. "Well, I can certainly meet any alchemical needs you have. Lots of acid and alchemist fire right here. But identifying magical treasures is not my specialty. Best bet, and maybe your only bet, would be to ask the sage, Allustan." He gladly points you in the direction of Allustan's residence and even more gladly sells you any alchemical items or cheap potions you'd like to buy.[/sblock]
[sblock=Those going to Tidwoad's]Alendar accompanies whoever goes to the gnome jeweler's shop (I assume just Alexis). The shop is meticulously arranged, and there is a lavish display of a collection of gems. A shield guardian sets just inside the shop door. With its powerful stone fits, it is no wonder that Tidwoad boasts that his establishment is theft-proof.

"Well, what can I do for you tall folk," the gnome says with almost a hint of disdain.[/color][sblock=OOC]Sorry, no more time to post. Let me know precisely what you want him to look at, and I'll get back to you with more detail.[/sblock][/sblock]
[sblock=Garrison goers]As Viktor returns to the garrison, it seems that things have been going as normal. Only the typical daily happens are going on.

Let me know if you've any intention of doing anything special. Otherwise, nothing happens as Viktor takes care of business.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]I just planned on talking to someone about the aberation. Then just doing general prayer/churchy stuff[/sblock]

The dwarf browses a bit, but having little in the way of coin, does not purchase anything at the moment. "You'd know better than me about this sage, Breth. I'll let you do the talking, but I'll keep an eye out," says the dwarf as they approach the home.
[sblock=ooc]Boldak just keeps an eye out for anything fishy. It would be nice to know the general nature of the alchemist's stock for future reference, otherwise, I am ok with breezing through the trip to Alustan's, though I'm game to play it out if Ti would like.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Well, if you guys go to Allustan's it probably should be played out.[/sblock]

[sblock=o3]As you show your finds to Tidwoad, the gnome climbs on top of the counter and bends over to examine them. He stand back up when he's done, and his head is just a bit higher than yours.

"For that armband... 30 gold. It's a decent piece. Those three statuettes... 250 for the lot. That's a fair haul for a young woman and elf. Would feed the average couple in this place for a long time."

Alendar looks at Alexis and shrugs his shoulders. He whispers, "Boldak said not to take his first offer. Bartering is not my trade, and I don't know what this stuff is worth."
[sblock=OOC]Let me know if there is anything else you want Tidwoad to price.[/sblock][/sblock]

The dwarf approaches the unfamilar residence with a bit of trepidation and raps on the door.

"I don't know much about him, but I hear he used to be an adventurer, and he's quite a powerful force in the city. I just hope he's willing to give us some service..."
[sblock=ooc]Cool.[/sblock]
