The woman pats the weasel on the head and says, "Poor little thing had a barrel fall on him in the market, and I had to use the last of my incense to summon him back."
She then places 3 constantines on the counter next to a full calico bag and adds, "But your Granny Naomi knows my favourite mixture, so I'm all stocked up again now. Thank goodness."
"'Tis no trouble, Hazel," says Granny as she reaches out and skritches the weasel on its back. "And you need to stay out of trouble," she adds, talking to the familiar.
The weasel does a little turn around in the basket, clearly enjoying all the attention it's getting.
"And how are things going at the School?" asks Hazel. "I'm sure your poor departed father would be extremely proud of you, learning to become a proper wizard, and all."

Yes, that's caught me a couple of times too. If you click on the little white bell symbol in the menu bar it should show you the most recent notification. If there is a little green spot next to a notification, I believe it means you haven't click on the link.

Just saw article on dawn rush. Do I think it would help to cast the identify spell at dawn?
Probably not. Although Mithrans recognise it as an example of the existence and power of Mithra, most non-Mithrans who are magically sensitive just get used to being woken every morning at dawn. Note: If Guilliame takes off his armband, he not only loses his magic, but also no longer feels the Dawn Rush. To recover his magic, takes one hour though.

"You're lucky," says Hazel. "Not that I'm a wizard, but I'd love to get a chance to look around their library, there must be all sorts of rituals hidden away in those books."
"Do you need any charcoal, Hazel?" asks Granny Naomi.
"No thank you, Naomi, I've got plenty," replies Hazel.
Then she picks up her calico bag and pushes the weasel aside and places it into her basket.
"I'd better being going," she then says, "There's a large shipment of wine coming in from New Nineveh and I have to check it's all good before payment is made."
Say good bye to Hazel. After she is gone tell Naomi:
"I met Assam who now heads the Wing & Prayer Messenger service. He sends his greetings. How do you know him and what was his relationship with my father?"
"Gerard Assam," she says, a little surprised. "Yes, I know him. He's a rich man now, but I remember when he and your father used to spend a lot of time together when they were children."
She then goes to say, "Then he went to the School to learn his magic, and he sort of drifted away for a while. He worked off his king's patronage sending messages with his magic, and then he went into business doing the same thing for the common people and has made his fortune at it."

"He sends his regards. He said he has a lot of respect for you."
"As you can see I am a bit jumpy at the moment. I just had my purse snatched and Assam happened to be on hand to magically deal with most of the offenders so I didn't loose my purse. Then he said his fatalistic 'these things aren't just chance, all part of a higher plan' stuff.
"Do you know him well enough to say how trustworthy he is?"
"Your purse?" says Naomi concerned. "Was it the children?"
When Guilliame nods, she says, "I've seen them. They're from the south of here near the river—the poor section. Times must be hard if they be risking themselves up here."
Guilliame then prompts her saying, "Assam? Is he trustworthy?"
"Trustworthy?" Naomi says. "Yes, I suppose so, I haven't heard anything to say otherwise. I've heard he can be a hard task master, but he does pay his employees well, I've heard."
Then she adds, "Very devout Mithran though, favours Aieda, and I hear he employs a moon watcher to write daily fortunes for him."

"Being a devout Mithran could be an issue seeing as I was intending to send a message to Brand saying that Seeker Lomani who is a follower of Donai was probably looking for him. It was a warning really. But if I send the message through Assam he will likely let Lomani know. So I either take the message to Brand myself, get it out another way, or let Brand work it out for himself. I suspect that is the most prudent option. Prior notice probably won't help."
"I don't know. Two unusual things have happened today. First, Alice left me a magical jewel that she somehow came across and I'm trying to understand. Then I've seen the two priests who asked me about Dworkin. After that someone was hanging around outside for a while. And then at the markets I was targeted by thieves when I was looking around for trouble and everyone else was just shopping. The only reason I have a purse is that Assam turns up at precisely the right time. Do you think I'm in trouble or not?"
"Dworkin?" says Naomi a little surprised. "You've mentioned that name before, he was one of the people you with in Ilbarsis, wasn't he? But who is this Alice? And what priests?"

"I traveled with a group including Dworkin but I haven't seen him in a while - he left the group in a hurry. A priest of Donai and his apprentice came asking questions this morning and I told them what I know. Alice was the brother of a friend. I haven't seen her in a while but she turned up looking well-to-do with a magical jewel that she came across somehow."

[OOC: Seeker Lomani is a woman, and technically seekers are not priests, but they are definitely ranking members of the Mithran sect of Donai and given due respect within the community because of what they do. (Underlining of words, when I remember to do them, indicates there is material on this item on the World site; it's a pity I can't make a direct link, but the D&D Beyond site makes linking to external site unusable.)
"Alice Hobbs? Rolf Hobbs' sister," says Naomi. "I haven't seen her in ages... Well-to-do, you say, she must have married well then. And what's this about a jewel? Is that why you borrowed my pipe this morning? Were you practicing your magic?"

"Yes. The jewel is magical but I haven't been successful in working out what it does. In any case I think we should both keep on our toes. Keep an eye out for anyone unusual hangihng around or coming to the shop. I'll lock up extra securely tonight. It can't hurt."
"I'll hang around for the rest of the day so call out if anything worries you."
"Okay," say Naomi, still looking a little confused, "If you say so, I was just going to shred and pack that jartinal weed anyway, and it'll be nice to have someone in the shop while I do that."
After a moment's thought, she then says, "So, does this mean you can work out what magical items do now?" ask Naomi. "That could be quite valuable to the shop. Maybe you should write up a sign so I can stick it up for people to see. Might bring in some good coin."
