Alysina replies, angry that a young innocent has been murdered in a senseless burglary, "Still, I guess this book isn't quite so valuable--I've seen people drink one-use potions worth more than 500 gold.  It seems almost absurd that someone would go to such lengths as to kill for something like that, let alone brave Morgrave University's security to do so...Hmm...this might be a clue...""Still, if the culprits have gone far, an investigation could get expensive--can you tell us what exactly is in this book?  It must be something of interest but not any great value, since I know if it were truly valuable, you'd be offering more for its recovery, partly because you're a nice guy, partly to keep the University from looking terribly stingy, and partly because it isn't good business sense to ask people to recover something extremely valuable and then offer a reward far lesser in value than the object itself--fortunately for you, you have found a trustworthy and intrepid band of detectives, but if not for that, you would run the risk of not recovering the item were the recoverer to discover that significantly more could be made with almost no risk by finding the item, selling the item on the black market for its true price, and then reporting failure in the mission.  I know you're one of Sharn's most brilliant minds, so if I thought of that, you must have realised it long before this."[SBLOCK=OOC]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=861355" target="_blank">Rolled a 25</a> in trying for a bigger payoff.  Perhaps higher with circumstance bonuses or gnomish assistance.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
