Meep remains quiet and near the back, trying to eye the woman for any signs of deceit. 

Insight: 22

She then whispers as quietly as possible. "Perhaps one of us should meet her in the middle? To exchange hands? Allynna?" 

Jill stands slightly in front and to the left side of Persephone, with Misha on the side, like actual bodyguards would stand in front of the person that they're supposed to be protecting. Before the mission, she would suggest to Persephone that she not say anything outside of that it's a pleasure to have done business with them. Jill stands there, arms at her sides, looking tough, internally thanking the gods that she doesn't have to speak to get the job done.

Allynna purses her lips. "And if you decide to leave a fake coin, we won't know until you're long gone," she points out with a cool smile, stepping forward as if she's Persephone's spokesperson. "This way of doing the deal seems to heavily favor you. How about we meet and trade, and nobody moves until we've confirmed the item you gave us is what we asked for? Then, of course, you four can leave first, we don't want to make trouble. You understand our caution though, yes?" She gives the woman a warmer smile.

'Lynna...are you flirting? Is this really the time? Should I be worried?

It's just to get a little closer, relax. I use the tools at my disposal.

Meep: You are detecting absolutely no foul play. Yet. You have a good gut feeling for now. You also noticed that Misha has the most amazingly chiseled upper body you've ever seen on a human. She notices you looking, giving you a quick little wink.

Allynna: Make a DC10 Charisma (Deception) check please.

The pin: Whoever is planting the pin needs to make a DC10 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check.

I believe I can lie: 9+2

OOC: Thank Bane for intuition die from dragonmark!

Heeding Jill’s advice, Persephone just stands there, silent, acting like she’s the uber rich client she was meant to be.

Performance: 17

DC10 Deception, you got an 11. They believe you, but you don't gain much advantage on the situation.

"Of course it favors me, i'm the seller - and what i'm selling is very valuable. Here." She takes a few paces forward, and places the coin box on the ground. "Toss the payment, let's go." she holds her hand out. "Then we'll be out of here."

Allynna takes the bag, doing her best to subtly slip the pin in among the diamonds.

Sleight of Hand by Bane I miss BI: 15

She makes sure the bag is tied tight before tossing it gently over to the seller.

The elf takes the sack of diamonds, and opens the sack, checking the stones.

"What the hell is THIS?" she barks angrily, holding up the pin.

Jill continues to stand there and look like a bodyguard, internally hoping that someone who's good at talking can defuse the situation.

Meep looks to the pin with a frown before at Allynna. "Allynna. That wasn't part of the deal." She then lowers her voice slightly, just loud enough for the woman to hear. "That's really expensive you know....." 

(This 10/10 help action for Allynna to decieve.)

Misha adjusts her weight, ever so slowly, her whole body tightening - ready to spring - just in case she needs to bowl over 4 men and one woman.

Deception DC15 please.

Allynna's eyes widen as the pin is removed, and she glances briefly back at Meep. "I don't-how did it get in-" she stammers, looking flustered for a moment before lifting her head and striding towards the woman, clearly trying to restore her shattered mask of calm. "None of your business, is what it is. Give it back." She holds her slightly trembling hand out, eyes fixed on the pin.

Deception with Meep assistance: 23

Jill mentally prepares herself to leap into action after her friend, mainly because she didn't consume spores from a magical mushroom that lets you talk to other people telepathically.

"Hooo, touchy ain't we." says the elf, and hands you back the pin. Closing the small booch tight after looking at the diamonds, she says. "Take the box. We're out of here. Five minutes, then you can go." she slowly backs away, turns and everyone starts to slowly walk away. On the ground is a small coin box.

Jill says nothing as they hand the pin to Allynna and walk away. She stands there silently and hopes that the Harpers will pay half as much for half of the job done. Fifty gold is still a lot of money. I would eat well for a while off of that.

Persephone Stealth: 10

She’ll then teleport right behind one of the sellers, and slip the pin into their pocket (Sleight of Hand: 8) while whispering in their ear “How do I know this coin is real, and not some fake bauble I just spent a bundle on?”

Sleight of hand @ advantage due to me distracting them: 14

Allynna purses her lips at the seller being not the jerkwad she needed. She watched Persephone do her thing carefully, nibbling her lip and prepared to get involved if things went wrong.

For a moment, a terrible, horrible moment, Misha felt weak. Her leg muscles became like jelly, failing. She stumbled slightly, and as soon as the the sensation came, it was gone, and she stood back upright, wondering what had just happened. She closed her eyes for just a moment and searched, as if trying to find an answer deep in her mind. Like a gut sickening feeling of deja vu, she looked around slowly and made sure everything she saw her brain was processing and comprehending.

For a few more moments, anxiety and worry almost overtook her mind, as if something terrible, some god like plan had come to fruition and there was nothing she could do about it. When the sensations faded, she mentally shrugged it off and watched Seph slip the pin on the sellers.

"Back off!" the elf said, drawing weapons, but the deed was done. "We're leaving, come no closer! Weirdo!"

"I am sorry, she is strange like that sometimes." Jill grabs Persephone and pulls her back from the sellers. "It really was a pleasure doing business with you. Bonne nuit.*" When they depart, Jill turns towards Misha. "Are you feeling unwell? It was a little bit of a start to see you stumbling for a second."

*-Good night
