4th Week

While dining the illusioned gnome who Gorra and Sid met in Southwatch joins them at the table. After brief banter, Thola casts dispel magic to attempt to remove his illusion, the gnome counterspells and Thola counterspells his counterspell removing his illusion. He is revealed to be very different than the one sitting here a moment before. His skin is grey and waxy, his hair long and black, pulled up into a bun. He has no beard or other facial hair and looks at you with inky black eyes. He does not seem overly concerned with being revealed and proceeds to offer to buy their mithril for 750gp per ingot. He leaves the group after making the offer, dropping a small object in Sid's drink.

• Wolf - train frogs
• Sid - pit fighting
  • Results: 2 wins, 1 loss, 100gp. Sid is banned from further fights due to accusations of magical cheating
• Thola - gambling

At the end of the week the gnome (this time disguised as a halfling) meets the party again. On a whim Sid tries to talk him up to 1000 gp / ingot, the gnome counters with 850 with a minimum sale of at least 2. Sid takes him up on his offer and sells his 2 ingots for 170 platinum pieces (freshly minted and stamped with the face of Kleptinax, high exchequer of Gildenhome).

Loot

• Blacken and broken metal shards that once might have been a small sculpture. It appears that the parts once joined together, but whatever the sculpture once was is now beyond recognition without magical assistance beyond your ability to use.
