Looking for the sparkly
Subject Turn
OK I have been at home most of the afternoon fighting off a cold. I have gotten the archives updated and am going to be working on a turn for the jewelry store. I might also get one for the Merc guild before I head over to Kevins to watch the Bengals beat the Colts.

Subject Shopping for the sparkly
Kal steps forward as the shopkeep approaches and introduces himself. "I am called Kal and I am looking for some jewelry. Maybe something in gold or silver with pearls?" The man nods and leads Kal and Salix over to a display case. Ally and Surin wander around the shop inspecting the store. Surin notes several devices hidden in the cases that look like traps and anti theft devices. The windows are barred, all of the doors have several locks, the ceiling and floor look to be reinforced and the halfling would guess that there are other, more arcane, devices in place as well. Another employee comes out from the back of the store and Surin can see several more large, well armed guards in the back room through the swishing curtain.
The halfling and the mage casually look over the goods in the cases. There are all sorts of types of jewelry in the cases. Precious stone, gold, silver, platinum, solitary stones, finely crafted pieces ranging in size from small to gaudy. "I bet half these pieces" the halfling says " were 'liberated' from their owners at knife point." Ally nods and they continue browsing. Surin also keeps an eye out for any one who might work for the local guild. After a few minutes he decides that no one in the shop is a likely candidate.
Kal and Salix talk with the proprietor. "I am looking for a cloak clasp, or maybe a broach of some sort" says the elf. The man nods knowingly and shows the two a selection of pendants, clasps, broaches and slides. They are made of various metals and gems. "Did you have a price range you were looking to stay in?"
OODM: I will let Kal/Salix play this out.
