One of the party members was born in Freeport, so finding a jeweller/gem cutter shouldn't be an issue but I still think that is beside the point.  He still shouldn't just say "Oh, and by the way, I swapped all my stuff over in the meantime."  I can only see this sort of thing getting out of hand if it continues.Olaf the Stout</blockquote>
