Del takes the string, thanking Snitchel and handing it to Raven. It will help get us information to save kids, we hope. If you know anything about the kids here and the crazy package rush that would help too. Maybe we can accomplish something that serves you as well as us.
"Kids?" she says vaguely. "Nope. I hear it's getting hard to hire lookouts for...events lately."

"As my companion here said, we don't usually do this sort of thing, but you know how He is." Raven says with a friendly smile. "He won't do anything for you unless you do something for him first." She accepts the string of rings and places them in her pocket.
Elwin's head swung toward the crew as they ascended. He grimaced slightly--they didn't seem to be carrying anything new. The encounter was likely a bust, then?
"Everyone seems ready to go, then?" he asked. "Too bad we didn't find what we were looking for... Mindartis seemed ready to take out another Barleyman."
((Seems like Jacwalke must have his hands full...or is caught in the addictive power of the Ka-Ching games. So, are you guys taking the rings straight to Tagec, then?)

I do not want to get into the business of stealing (or liberating) those rings from Tagec Del says, and suggests: But I would like to know what they are before the goblin gets them back, if you could be so kind, Lord Quentin. Maybe they'd be worth renting for a worthier purpose than 'visiting' jewelry stores

Quentin casts Identify and begins to see images of the history of the rings. They were custom made by a shady wererat artificer...called the Rings of Sniffles for some reason, they shrink the wearer down to mouse size. They have been used many times by thieves and burglars to get through otherwise tiny openings. You see them change hands from one thief to another over many centuries, until they are handed over to Tagec--unwillingly, at the hands of his enforcers--to settle a debt.

As you leave, the bartender calls after you, "Thanks for visiting! We hope you come again!" Leaving the casino, you climb the stairs back up into the mid-afternoon sunlight and make your way back to the shaved ice shop, knocking on the door.
The window slides up a crack, and you see Tagec's glittering eyes looking out at you. "That was quick," he mutters. Then the window is dropped again and the door opens.

"Definitely worth trying to talk him into letting us use them." Raven agrees as she tucks the rings away again.
Once topside she would nod as she enters the shop. "We found the rings easy enough." She tells him, holding them out. "We were hoping you might let us use them to see what is going on about these kids though. Seems that a mystery like that would be worth the loan of the rings to solve for you... From what we gather they are heading into smaller tunnels, that would be impossible to follow them through in our current size." She holds his eyes for a long moment. "You can't tell me you aren't curious to what is going on there, can you?"
"I'll admit that the information you might uncover would be useful to me," he says grudgingly. "But the rings are valuable, too, and while I trust you to bring them back if you survive, you are setting yourself against the Dark Sisterhood, the gnolls, and who knows what else. The odds of you coming back alive to return my property are...not good. What would you leave with me as collateral?"

"Collateral?!" snapped Elwin, pulling back on his volume to keep the retort from becoming a roar.
Irritated at the gnome's greedy games, as he considered them, the warlock paused before continuing; but then stopped himself and just grit his teeth instead.
"Better to let someone less rash handle this," he thought, stepping back a bit (had he stepped forward without realizing it?)
Tagec looks amused at the offer of 500 gold. "If you don't have anything valuable to put up, I'm willing to take a risk, only if it's profitable enough. Give me first pick of any loot you get while the rings are in your possession. That might not only prove worth my while, but encourage you to bring them back quickly."

Let's head back to Sharky's and collect our information, unless someone wants to play some more. I guess we'll need to get Sir Elwin to his vigil soon

"Good point." Raven agrees. she gives the gnome a smile of parting, then heads off to accompany the others back topside.

(Ah...Sorry. Life has been...life.)
Quentin comes back to the group and with a silent nod follows the group, not wanting to admit how addicting these games are.

"Oh, sure. Let me see them and I can give them a quick Identify." Quentin replies happy to identify the rings.
Quentin casts Identify and begins to see images of the history of the rings. They were custom made by a shady wererat artificer...called the Rings of Sniffles for some reason, they shrink the wearer down to mouse size. They have been used many times by thieves and burglars to get through otherwise tiny openings.

Well, that could be useful Del says hearing the report Let's try to buy beg or connive them from Tagec, for getting into wherever the kids go.
