[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4653941, member: 46559"] As Atreus is returning with the sandwich, Doddoddod's rolling voice can be heard echoing through the halls as if from the bottom of a stairwell, getting closer. There is someone with him. As they get closer, their voices become clearer. [color=orange]"...sure it's been sold by now and is probably on its way to Hzaka, but if you can find me the thief and recover the money he got for it, you can take whatever you see fit as a finder's fee from it. The Catchment was worth at least a thousand gold."[/color] [color=lightblue]"Very well, I accept your terms. Fear not, old friend; you have acquired the services of Doddoddod, and no mere thief will evade his eyes for long."[/color] Doddoddod's voice is halting and out of breath as he answers, due no doubt to the stairs. He opens the door to the room, ushering in Marco, the hunchbacked halfling shopkeeper, and carefully folds a piece of gray silk around a shard of thick glass smeared with blood, finally tucking it into a leather bag and securing it in an inner pocket of his voluminous robe. [color=lightblue]"Ah, Palindrome. You've met my apprentice, haven't you Marco? Promising lad, if only he would apply himself. And Atreus, you're here, too. Good, good. How are you gentlemen faring in that delicate matter entrusted to us by Lady Glasston?"[/color] The fat wizard's eyes drift expectantly to Marco has he drops Lady Glasston's name, but Marco doesn't seem to notice. Nor does he pay any particular attention to Palindrome. [/QUOTE]
