The talk of wild boars, especially after the hawk attack, appears to have them nervous.Meanwhile, Relic empties the ripped pouch of its contents. Between what's still on the ground and what spills into his hands, there are 11 gems at the campsite which are like the one Kazanto found. Relic also finds a piece of parchment.[sblock=Relic]Relic knows there are spells that require gems as their material component, but these don't seem to be prepared in any special way that would suggest they're meant for such. He estimates their worth at around 80 gp apiece, though between the failing light and his untrusty eyes, he might be off by some one way or another.The parchment is dry and discolored, the writing starting to fade a bit. It also seems to have been a victim to whatever tore the pouch open. He can piece it together enough to read most of it. What he makes out reads as follows (any place there's a pair of asterisks, it indicate holes in the parchment or marred writing that's indecipherable):**rs of Gabbiano** say our shipping rates must prove our involvement in criminal enterpr**. The true **piracy theorists insist our fortunes in these endeavors can only come **  deals **ade with dark powers. ** have but one word to say to this, and to you in your efforts ** forward: Hogwash.The signature is elaborate and rather entirely unreadable, but there does appear to be yet another Gabbiano seal, this time at the bottom of the parchment.[/sblock][gm]I want to give [MENTION=41485]InVinoVeritas[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6666944]maquise[/MENTION] a chance to chime in before I push things forward.[/gm]</blockquote>
