At Brie’s, the dark haired girl looks miffed that she isn’t going to be seeing any money, and tries to get Algernon interested by sitting on his lap. He doesn’t make the girl get up, but his eyes are constantly at the doorway, waiting for Lydia’s arrival. Meanwhile, Loni seems pleased that Accalon has changed companions. “Of course I’ll be your escort.” Her hand brushes Accalon’s chest as she speaks in low tones. “I’m so grateful… we’re all so grateful, that you’re helping Madame Brie. I can show you were the closets are, or… well, it might be a tight fit” she smiles at that, “I can keep you company.”
At the antique shop, Aligor is looking particularly menacing [Intimidate rolled 18+6=24], but still only gets limited results. Boon says “Damn. Look dwarf, I shouldn’t be telling you this. There’s a man who works there, in one of those government buildings with, lets say, a second occupation. He’s an assassin. You want someone dead, and he’ll arrange it. I’ve used him myself. As long as Hex doesn’t know you, then if that’s who his boys were going to see, you weren’t the target. And I’m not going to tell you another thing about him… he’s scarier than you are. If you want, I’ll arrange a meeting for you sometime, I’ll put in a good word, and I’m sure he’ll see you. But if I start telling who he is and where he works, then I’m worse than dead.”
“And as far as the ruins go, I haven’t made up my mind yet if I want to have them checked out. If you’re desperately inquisitive, give me 300 gold and I’ll give you a map of where this was, then I’ll wash my hands of it. Or, if you find yourself on the run, come here and I’ll make a decision then.” He watches the dwarf for a second, “And when I do decide to do it, I might loan you the urgrosh, just to help make sure you survive. ‘Course, it didn’t help it’s last owner.”
On Gorgon’s Way, Gwyn searches the bedroom with the pleasant sounds of whimpering in the background. He doesn’t find much of value, a few rings, necklaces and jewelry maybe worth 80 gold total and about 20 pieces of loose gold. The he notices a loose piece of flooring under the bed, underneath which is a metal box, unlocked, containing various papers the woman considered important; the deed to the house, a marriage certificate, her will. Also in the box is a pouch with 50 platinum pieces and a single crossbow bolt, with a black spiral pattern down it’s length.
When T'aria comes into the bedroom, she finds a large wardrobe filled with nice clothes. Apparently most of the woman's money was spent there. Unfortunately, clothing is something that doesn't resell well, but the woman must have spent at least 500 gold on her dresses, hats, and shoes.
At the bar, Rusty says to Sunedilar, “Yeah, I seen him. Ya seem to know him well, knowin’ what he likes and all. He left ‘bout an hour ago. He’ll prolly be back tomorrow night. What’cha want with him? I kin give him a message, next time I see ‘im, if ya want.” Rusty eyes the two carefully, perhaps judging what they might want with Aligor. Or what they might wind up wanting from him.
