Leaving the Shinning Knight, somewhat lighter in heart and fuller in pocket a good deal made has been made with the Owner of the forge. The Hall of Knowledge dominates the skyline of the town of Neverwinter, marking it as the most enlightened place in all of the Realms. Cleaner, safer and more polite than any other place in the realms, locals nod their heads at the passing adventurers and smiling at the ragtag group.
After five minutes walk the adventurers, led by Delora, arrive at a small side alley and in the centre of the row is a small sign announcing the shop as Carnack's Gem's. Entering the door, the sound of a bell **PINGS** loudly and a man behind the counter looks up. "H-h-h-h-h-ello," he says his voice full of nerves and stutter "W-w-w-w-w-hat c-c-can I d-do for you?"

Zeric stepped forward, "Hail and Well Met, my good fellow. We may wish to sell some goods, if the price is right."
"Tell me, " he said, laying a silver hand with ivory nails, a ziose and a black and white gemstone on the counter, "What your offer on each of these might be?"

The nervous man picked up each of the items tentatively and looked at them through an eyepiece he took out of his pocket. After about five minutes, he said
"B-b-b-b-b-b-b-asically, they are worth 150 gold. Harldy any more. That hand isnt really an-n-n-n-n-n art object. B-b-b-b-b-but was p-p-p-p-robably used for something else.

Zeric frowned, "That is not what I asked. I asked for a separate valuation, since I was merely considering selling the items. Please may I have a valuation on the gemss only?"
He placed the hand back into his bag, leaving the gemstones on the counter, "And, please do make it a reasonable price..."

"B-b-b-eg your p-p-p-ardon g-g-g-ood sir. This one" he holds up the stone that Bregl had identified as a Ziose "Is what we call a Z-z-z-z-iose and is worth one hundred g-g-g-gold" "Your b-b-b-lack and w-w-w-w-w-hite stone, is an On-on-onyx and is worth fifty gold. Do you still want my valuation of your s-s-s-s-ilver h-h-h-and? Go-g-g-ood S-s-s-ir"

Zeric smiled charmingly at the clerk, "No, thank you kindly. If you will excuse me for one moment, I must discuss a business matter with my companions?"
He turned to the others, "Well, you heard the offer. Do we sell them now, or keep them in trust against a future expense?"

"I've found it easier to, uh, conceal a couple of rocks before, whereas a pouch of gold is never easy." Dace shrugged. "Depends if we'll need to keep cash quiet or not. Never hurts to have a backup plan."

Cathmhaol looked at Zeric with one eyebrow raised. "So let me get this straight," he said, "You wanted to trade these very light and portable gems for some much heavier, and noisier, gold coins...?"
"I tell you what," he continued, "Why don't we take that idea, turn it around and change some of gold into gems instead?" and he smiled at the wizard winningly.

Dace waved a hand in front of his face before turning to the Dwarf. "Can you see and hear me, or am I invisible?" he smiled.

Dace waved a hand in front of his face before turning to the Dwarf. "Can you see and hear me, or am I invisible?" he smiled. Rumbleskin looked about as if listening for something before laughing and slapping teh caravan guard heartily on the small of his back: "Sorry lad, couldnae help it. It's th' long winters ya see...
"I think yon man's heard yer advice and be swingin' with it... let's see what manner o' sparkly rocks thisun kin turn our gold into... besides, you got a drink on ye?"OOC: Sorry folks, should have posted here that I was going away for a couple of weeks... well, I'm back now and can only apologise for the oversight - work and moving house kinda wiped me before I went away...Kevin, glad to hear things are getting better for ya!
