"You know a spell to put a number of people to sleep?" queries Handleader Ahman. "That could be very useful... I remember the masters at the school demonstrating a special wand that could put people to sleep if they touched them with it. Do you have to touch the people you want to put to sleep?"
[OOC: Guilliame does not remember the masters of the School demonstrating such a wand.]

OOC Does Guilliame understand the concepts behind storing a spell in a wand?
[OOC: Guilliame knows that wands are commonly used as arcane focuses (see here), but he is not aware of a sleep spell that requires touch. Note that as a 1st level Wizard he is not yet capable of creating his own arcane focus yet, that requires him to be second level at least.]
"I can do it at a distance but it doesn't always work."
"That is fair enough," says Handleader Ahman, nodding. "I would imagine the effect would be dependant on the ability of the subject to resist the spell. It is my understanding that a lot of magic works that way. However, just the chance of stopping someone without resorting to violence makes it a very useful spell."
She then becomes serious and asks, "Were you involved with the Seekers when they came to investigate Brassman's residence? I have not heard anything about what they found... It still seems strange to think that he was a dark wizard... He just seemed so... normal."

"Well, it certainly was an interesting first night for you," says Handleader Ahman. "And, hopefully tonight will be much quieter. When Barrus comes back, you and I will take a turn through the Northport residential district, if that is okay with you."
[OOC: Unless Guilliame wants to continue this conversation, we will progress through you watch a little here.]

Handleader Ahman just shrugs and says, "There are a few taverns in the area, but most of gambling occurs in the richer places near the bridge. What is this event you mentioned?"
[OOC: You don't have to go into specifics. Just say that you tell her and if there is anything you want to leave out of the telling.]

Handleader Ahman listens on, fascinated. Then, in answer to Guilliame's last comment, she frowns and asks, "How? I have seen someone manipulate dice. But how could anyone have manipulated what you described."

In response to Guilliame's words, Handleader Ahman is quiet for a moment and then she laughs. "I think you are being a little over dramatic there, but fair enough... If you cannot tell me how it was done, can you tell me who you think was doing the cheating... Surely it was not not the owner of the Shepherd's Rest. Brock is no sorcerer."

"Hazluk?" says Handleader Ahman, surprised. "He was one of the people participating in Brock's drinking challenge?"
Then she thinks for a moment and says, "Are you sure you saw him use magic last night? I have met Brutha Hazluk, looked at him with mage sight, and I have never seen an aura... Could you be mistaken?"
[OOC: Hazluk's aura last night was minimal and could have been missed, but the aura you saw him with earlier tonight couldn't have been missed by anyone with mage sight.]
"Either he had used all his magic when you had seen him and he has meditated to get his power back tonight or a spell or device is giving him a magical aura tonight."
Handleader Ahman thinks for a moment and then says, "I understand that you do not trust him, but has he actually done anything wrong? Anything against the law? Unless he has, there is nothing we, as the watch, can do about it."

"Sporting contest?" says Handleader Ahman, confused. "What are you talking about?"
[OOC: The Shepherd' Rest is in the Stockyard Area (see map here). The area Handleader Ahman is talking about is south of there.]

[OOC: Guilliame's insight is pretty good, which possibly means that Hazluk tries to hide his ability to use magic.]
