"Yes I did. I still haven't sent a message. Every time I get ready to send the message circumstances change and I have to think about what I want known. The previous time I had gone to send a message your father saved me from being robbed. Maybe I am better off staying at home. Did you know your father knows my grandmother?"
"Yes," replies Natalia, a little confused by the rush of information. "My father sent me here because he remembered you from that morning... I have found something that I would like identified and that is something my father and I cannot do... Are you available, and how much does your service cost?"

"I am available and can certainly try. If I can help the cost is an engle. I will charge less if I can't give you definitive information. Do you know anything about the object? Any background might help."
"I bought it from a shopkeeper at the markets because it looks so strange," says Natalia, bringing out a small leather pouch and emptying the contents onto the counter.
A dull metal object the size and shape of a 20-side die rolls out of the pouch, however there are no symbols on any of the faces.
Natalia picks up the object and casually tosses it into the air and catches it before saying, "I am an innate sorcerer like yourself and I can see no sign of magic in it, but when I pick it up and hold it I get this unusual sensation."
She then places the object down on the counter again and says, "I'm interested in anything you can tell me about it, Master de Marchant, and very happy to pay you for your time."

"It sounds like an interesting item. Leave it with me and I shall look straight into it. I shouldn't need too long but can you leave it with me today and pick it up before dinner tonight. I will let you know what I can discover. Is that alright with you?"
OOC Phill, can you send the powerpoint across. I've got a bunch of questions ready but still more to do.
"I will try to get back before dark," says Natalia. "But it depends on how busy the day gets at the shop... Speaking of which, that is where I should be now."
With a smile and a wave, Natalia hurriedly leaves the store.
"She is a nice girl," says Granny Naomi. "And rich too. Her father is a very wealthy man."

"Maybe I should have charged more. I won't give them a discount if I can't work anything out. Anyway I'll get to work on it."
Take it out the back. Have a good look over it for any clues. Try to hold it closing eyes and see if there is any feeling that sensation that comes out.
[OOC: When you say 'out the back', what exactly do you mean? Outside? The kitchen? Guilliame's bedroom?
Taking the object out of its leather pouch, Guilliame can feel its weight and solidness. It could be one of those solid metal sling bullets he has seen people use, but it appears far better crafted than a sling bullet; its twenty facets are all unmarked and the edges and corners have all been neatly rounded off so there are no sharp edges or points, all of which indicates a very high level of craftsmanship.
Make an Investigation check to try to learn more by observation, 12 or less will be considered a failure.]

[OOC: Guilliame can roll again for experience and he can tell know more about the item just by looking at it. I will now proceed with the rest of his previous move.]
By out back I meant bedroom.
[OOC: Check.]
While I think of it if I have a backup purse put 4 lions and 3 cons in it ready for next trip out.
[OOC: A proper coin purse cost about 5 lions and Guilliame would need to go to a market to buy one. However, he could put the coins in his component pouch or use one of the small hessian bags Granny sews up for putting jartinal weed and other herbs in for customers.]
In his bedroom, Guilliame takes the small object in his hand and closes his eyes. After a few moments—and just as Natalia said—Guilliame becomes aware of a faint fluttering on the edges of his consciousness that is definitely coming from the item.
[Please make an Arcana check vs a DC of 10.]

Guilliame is aware that some magical items require becoming 'attuned' to their owners to become usable and that attunement requires physical contact with the item for about a standard candle (i.e., an hour). Such items tend to be rarer and more sophisticated than the magic items he has come across previously.

Take the stone and put it under the tunic. Tell Naomi that it is possible I'll have better chance of understanding the item if I can be in contact with it for a period. Is there anything to do around the shop in the meanwhilst.
Guilliame takes the stone and puts it inside his tunic. As he does this, the strange fluttering feeling disappears. However, when he touches the stone again, the fluttering starts again, weakly.

"No, no," says Granny. "I can look after the shop. I want you to go and learn that spell, especially if it is going to keep you safe."

"OK. I'll come back earlier tonight I think. Have dinner in for a change. Hope business is good today."
Head off to the library.
Guilliame finishes breakfast and goes to his room to get ready to go to the School.
He is just about to leave when he hears voices in the shop. Entering, he see Granny Naomi talking with a young Sorian woman.
"Guilliame," says Granny Naomi. "You have a customer for your magic identification service. This is Gerrard Assam's daughter, Natalia."
"Hello," says the young woman. "Oh, I remember you. You came into the Wing & Prayer offices a little while ago."
