Subject At the jewelers

Surin spends a few minutes surveying the street where it seems many of the jewelers in Bodentown are located. Some of the shops seem very large and others are not so big. Surprisingly enough, the smaller shops seem to be unguarded while the larger shops have at least two or three well armed and armored guards standing out side heavily barred and locked doors. After the halfling has had the party walk up and down the street once, he makes them backtrack to one of the larger stores with three guards out front. He leads the other three right up the to guards. Looking up at the large man in the middle he starts talking "Hi, there. We're here to buy some jewelery. Do we need an appointment?" The man seems a bit stunned by this question but gives an answer "No no appointment needed but only two in the store at a time." Surin looks a bit disconcerted at this reply and Salix steps forward.

"My good man, we are but four humble men looking to buy some trinkets for our women. I understand a limit on armed men in a store such as this but we pose no threat." Salix continues on in his most reassuring voice (Diplomacy,12+9=21, success) and the man starts nodding. A few seconds later the man nods "Ok the four of you can go on in, but if you cause any problem I'm going to run you through." "There will be no problems"Salix assures him, and they enter as the man unlocks the door and holds it open for them. Surin notices that there are actually several very large and very complicated locks on the door.

As they step into the shop they are amazed at the quality of the workmanship on the inside. Everything is wooden panels, marble floors, crystal lamps. The only jarring things are the thick iron bars on all the windows and the door. As they enter a large, heavy set man hustles forward greeting them "Welcome, welcome, how my I, Archen, be of service to you this fine day?"
