With the trade of the other items, not only will he repair the snakeskin surcoat, but he will do so immediately. He explains that it will still take about an hour or two to complete and adds a few extra coins back to Merindell's pocket for the extraordinary items traded. Sheldon talks to a tailor abut having his silk tunic repaired at the same time.Needing to wait for the repairs, anyway, the two men head back to the Workman's District to have a meal. Pine Vine Mellow is available but after a suggestion from the very attractive Centrin server, the men decide to try one of the local wines, which proves to be superior.The owner, who is also the Construction Commissioner for the city, is away looking after the continued construction of the canal system that is to, eventually, surround the city. During the meal, a runner comes in, usually a child who is paid to carry messages, and asked if the men are going to remain for a bit for his employer would like to speak with them face to face.Curious much more than catious, as the men know no one within the city, they agree to wait. A practically dressed, though of quality material and design, Centrin man walks through the swinging louvered doors, looks around as his eyes adjust to the darker glow of the room lighting, and waves at the two men, before walking over and seating himself at their table. He orders another round of drinks, including one for himself, before beginning. He introduces himself as Claygh."Though the finest pottery comes out of Asylim, being porcelain and glass, we make our own more practical items, for general use, here in the city. I am the caravaner who operates the crew who collects the raw material. West of the city, about two days' travel their is a dried oxbow of the Middling River. An oxbow is a lake left behind when a river changes course. Anyway, this oxbow must have been rather shallow because all that is left is a muddy area, good for collecting the silt used in pottery."He takes a long pull from his mug. "A bit of talk has gotten around of an Amiradthan dressed like an Ansylin and a Centrin man looking for some... other than usual work. Apparently you two have some skill more appropriate to explorers or prospectors. Well, I definitely have something other than ordinary."He takes another long pull, finishing his mug before signaling for a refill. "Travel can be dangerous out in the Wilds, sure, but a couple of Tendays passed I lost a worker. What we found of him looked like he might have been ravished by bear or a lion. After the second one, I talked to the Masons' Guild, that who oversees the pottery business, and they sent a couple of heavies to investigate. Those two never came back. I don't want to go to the Guild with this, yet. That guy always seems so angry. I have not mentioned it to the potter because that guy scares me. I was wondering if you might look into it?"[gm]Alchemical analysis has not been forgotten. It will be handled in a post after leaving the city.[/gm][spoiler=Character Data]Merindell: full wellnessSurcoat: 79Tunic: 56Sheldon: full wellnessA-tunic: 59[/spoiler][spoiler=Collections]Animal:Cockatrice fangs: 1 pair, (motility & cohesion +3)Cockatrice feathers: 1 set, (motility & cohesion +3)Cockatrice venom: 2 measures, (toxicity x4)Jackal Canines: 8 pair: (Strength +3)Jackal Dew Claws: 7 pair: (Strength +3)Jackal Hearts: 8: {+strength x 3, +athleticism x 3}Quillion Quills: 2: (Health +3), {toxicity x4}Feather Talismans: 2, ??Lizard Claws: 3 sets, ??Ram's Horn: 1, ??Boar Tusk: 1, ??Lizard Teeth: 1 pouch, ??Bird Skull: 1, ??Mineral:Slickstone: 1: {- heat x2}Curious Stones: 7, ??Ores:ingots: 5, ??Plant:dried herbs: 10 measures, ??[/spoiler][ooc]Each character receives 5 DP.
