Oh, I will have the city guard arrest him, mark my word!  Yes, before he assaulted me, I was telling you I bought that legally from a merchant named Castor.  It is my lawful property!'' [/sblock][sblock=Castor]A streetwise check 15 reveals that Castor is a rather shady merchant of 'antiquities' who notoriously moonlight as a fence.  Like every fence, he is tied to organized crime.  His particular backer is Rinch the Riser's organization.  Nasty fellows.  It is a given that his store will be guarded and that he will be uncooperative concerning the sources of the stolen loot he sells.  That is why you will clearly need some bodyguards of your own.  *wink* *wik* *nudge* *nudge*You will either suceed that skill check on the spot or gain that information from the friendly and knowledgebale barman (or any of your friends). It is no state secret.[/sblock][sblock=Hacker & DMs]Sir Fallon of Coughty, the useless son of a powerful merchant, really is going to complain to his father.  Not to the city guard, though.  He was in possession of stolen property, after all.  While the man WAS being an ass, assault on the rich and powerful usually have consequences.  Thugs from the father could be sent to 'teach a lesson' to the gnome. I have no particular intent to pursue that plot thread in the short term, though, but it could be added as a hook/note on Hacker's wikipage.  Just a thought.[/sblock][sblock=Pendant and gold for 7 Rabbit]You have Fallon properly intimidated (I didn't forget the 20 skill check) so once it is inferred that he is actually in possession of stolen property he will back off and relinbquish the pendant without a fight and won't talk about the incident.  As you can tell from the current state of the dialogue, you have room for a put down and after that he will meekly capitulate.As a reward for the high check, he will also surrender his purse to keep you quiet.  It contains 120 gp, which will help you finance your hirings.[/sblock]</blockquote>
