"And I know where there are more... a lot more."The look on the man's face told Dhelleck that this would cost him.  He reached over and picked up the small dragonshard and begin inspecting it... rotating it around and holding it up to the light.  "Khyber shard?  Interesting.  As far as I know, this is the first Khyber shard that's been found in this area... unless of course someone had found some previously and just never said anything."  He tossed it up into the air and caught it deftly.  "How many of these have you got?  And you said you could get more?"Dhelleck d'Tharashk stood up from the desk and smiled.  His lower canine teeth protruded upwards, and to anyone else it would look as though he was baring his fangs.  Ari Osten of course had no fear of the man, having worked for him so long... but it did of course beg the question that was always on people's minds when they met Dhelleck... was he human or was he halforkish?  His skin was the pinkish color of the human race, but his features had a distinct halfork look to them.  No one could ever tell.  He certainly wasn't as obviously a halfork as the Watchman Skarghash was... and Dhelleck never made it a point to state it one way or the other.  And the fairly large dragonmark that wrapped itself around his thigh didn't help, as they have appeared on both humans and halforks.He walked over to the corner of the office and began turing the dial on a large safe in the corner.  After a few seconds it popped open, he tossed the shard into it, then withdrew his hand holding a bag that rattled... obviously a coin purse.  He slammed the safe shut, walked over to the desk, then began counting out coinage.  After a few seconds he had a small pile that he swept into a small bag and dropped in front of Ari.  "A thousand.  And another thousand for each one you bring me.  These are worth much more than those Eberron shards that Dubbin keeps finding for me, especially because of their size.  I have a gnomish friend up in Newthrone that'll make good use of these."  He sat back down at the desk and smiled at the monster hunter.</blockquote>
