In the process of heading back to join the rest of the group, Selvaggio accidentally bumps into a few of the onlookers and apologies.

Once he reaches the group, he looks over his shoulder towards the auction stage. "I wonder what that thing does. Maybe we could follow the winner, it might lead us somewhere."

"I wonder if they even know what it does? You'd think if they did, that would have been the centerpiece of their sales pitch." Eldwyn considers a moment. "We might disguise ourselves and offer to determine the nature of the object to gain the confidence of the buyer." He gives an involuntary shiver, "That might be closer than we really want to get to whoever buys it though."
 

As the bidders becoming more reluctant to go higher, a man emerges from the crowd and heads towards the podium in the center of Podol Plaza. He has dark hair, a full beard and is wearing striped pants, a long, brown tunic and has a pendant of a blazing star hanging from a chain around his neck. He exchanges a few words with the auctioneer, who then hands over the wand to him. The crowd watches the exchange in silence, as the man carefully examines the item. He hands it back, afterwards, shakes his head slightly and then turns around and heads down from the podium and back into the crowd.

There are only a few more raises now, and the price goes to five thousand and seven hundred as noone seems willing to go any higher.

“Five seven? Going... Anyone wanna give me five eight? Going... Five seventy-five? Nothing? Ok... GONE!”
 


"I've never see a pendant like that. I wonder if it marks a sect or faction of some sort?" Selvaggio says as his eyes follow the man. "He obviously wasn't impressed with the item, he appeared to scoff at whatever it is."
 


Eldwyn

The halfling nods a little embarrased at having become distracted from their objective. "Indeed we are here for something more important. A life may be at stake."

Agreed!” Stats Aylor. “Let them scrap for their puny stick! We have bigger fish to fry!” She says eagerly. And with that she motions the group to move onto the prison.
