[OOC: Guilliame can once more roll for Experience]
Concentrating on the die does not bring forth any immediate revelations and so Guilliame relaxes and instead begins to meditate on himself and his connection with the thing in his hand. The world begins to slip away as he does this and sense of peace comes over him.
Only to be shattered by a knock on the door.
"Guilliame?" says Granny Naomi through the door. "Master Assam and his daughter are here to see you."

"Blessed day, Master de Guilliame," says Master Assam, who looks a bit tired. "My daughter tells me that you have performed a service of magic for her. I am here to pay her bill and find out what you have discovered."
Natalia says nothing and seems to be avoiding looking at Guilliame.

"I tried 2 things with this stone. The first was to attune with it which I thought would help to understand it as well as helping with the Identification spell I was going to cast. When I was trying this at first I had a great sense of animals around me and started to understand what they were thinking. Then something spoke to me. "Master? Will you be my master? Choose my form, Master. I want to come out and serve you.""
"I immediately stopped meditating and put the stone down. I did an Identification spell but it didn't work so I can't tell you more. I can try again after resting if you would like. I'm worried about what this stone can connect to though."
Whatever the tension between father and daughter is the result of, it is forgotten as Guilliame tells his findings.
There is a moment of silence when he finishes and then Master Assam says, "This thing sounds diabolical." He then turns to his daughter and, with a frown, asks, "Where did you say you found it?"
Looking a little shaken, Natalia puts her hand up to a half moon pendant she is wearing and says, "In the market in the Mercantile District. It was in a box along with a lot of other trinkets... I thought it looked interesting."
Turning back to Guilliame, Assam then says, "Where is it? I would like to see this thing."

Guilliame gets the stone from where he left it and hands it across to Master Assam.
Master Assam looks at the stone and then closes his eyes to open it using his Mage Sight (i.e., See the Arcane). He studies the stone carefully for a few seconds and then says, "Strange as it looks, I can see no inherent magick in it at all."
"Yes, it is strange," agrees Natalia. "But if you hold it for a while, you will begin to feel something."
At this, Master Assam immediately places the stone down on the bench. "No. This smacks of unknown magick. Diabolical magick. I will have nothing to do with it."
He then turns to Natalia and says, "And I want you to have nothing to do with it as well."
For a moment, Natalia looks as if she is going to say something, but then she nods and lowers her eyes.
Turning back to Guilliame, Master Assam then asks, "Master de Guilliame, how much do I owe you for your services to my daughter? And how much would it cost me for you to dispose of this item?"

Master Assam hands over the coins without question. [I have added them to the Store's coinage table in the 'Other Possessions' tab on Guilliame's character sheet.]
"Thank you Master de Guilliame, and let me know if you have any problems," he says before turning to his daughter.
"Now Natalia," he says, "I think you and I have to have a talk about this habit of yours of looking for strange magical trinkets. It can be very dangerous."
"Yes, father," the girl replies, her head still bowed.
The two then say their farewells and leave the store.
[Make an Insight check for Guilliame.]

Guilliame notices that although Natalia says nothing and keeps her head down in a servile manner, she continues to steal glances at the stone where it is lying on the bench.

"It seems to talk to something that might well be cursed. I just have to work out how to destroy it now. I'm reluctant to ask at the school. I don't know who I could trust to destroy it rather than try to use the potential power of it. The old faithful of brute force is my best guess. I might check with Master Minton. I think I can trust him."
Grab the dice again and do some meditation with it. See whether anything comes in an hour.
Retrieving the large die from the pouch, Guilliame sits on his bed and begins to meditate with it.
[OOC: This time, make an Arcana check.]

Put the dice away and grab the stone. Go out to the shop.
"Blessed day Master and Madam(?) Assam. I hope it has been a good day for you."
"Blessed day, Master de Guilliame," says Master Assam, who looks a bit tired. "My daughter tells me that you have performed a service of magic for her. I am here to pay her bill and find out what you have discovered."

Hand the stone over.

Master Assam hands over the coins without question. [I have added them to the Store's coinage table in the 'Other Possessions' tab on Guilliame's character sheet.]

Make sure Natalia can't get at the stone while saying goodbye and seeing them off.
Natalia never gets close enough to take the stone, before her father whisks her away.
"So," says Granny Naomi, looking at the stone, "is this thing cursed?"
