[sblock=Ti & mn]"Then you have found him. Please, come this way." The sage leads you over to a large tree stump in the yard. "You can place your items here. I presume that you've already discovered that they are magical. Just let me have a quick look." Allustan absent-mindedly casts the spell Breth knows is detect magic and studies each of the items intently.
"That mail suit... Most likely it is simply reinforced by magic to make it function better. I see know immediate signs of anything foul with it.
"The goggles... I've seen things that look like this before. There was an industrious wizard many years ago that realized that there would be a good market for them. Given the type of magic on it, and the simple fact that there's really no other reason to ensorcell some goggles, I would be strongly inclined to presume that they simple help you notice things better.

It is also unlikely that you have just been holding on to them, only to now decide to find what they are. You must have found them, yes? Would you mind telling me how you acquired them?"
Allustan waits a moment, but before you speak, he intuitively adds, "Don't have worry that I'd swoop off to where'er you went to find another trove. My adventuring days are behind me. But you've piqued my interest. There's not places close by that I'd have expected youths to find such as this."[/sblock]
