Skabb will go around the Muzga ward looking for more clues about the underground passages beneath the city streets, wearing a hood at all times to hide the mark on his neck. "They are not deserving of your help, they shunned you" A voice rings in the back of his head as he passes the Tiger Gem Shoppe. 

He focuses his investigation of the area and grounds around the Shoppe, looking for any hints of anything that might be related to the underground. 

Investigation?: 14

Jiron bites his lip as he looks back at the bugbear merchant. He needed that Pixie Dust, but...

Sighing, the tinkerer glanced down at his coin purse. //Darn, less than twenty gold short...//

Looking back at merchant, and to the pixie dust. "Could I maybe convince you to lower the price at bit?" he asked sheepishly.

Persuasion-11

"How much lower?" the merchant taps their fingers on the counter replies to Jiron.

Skabb, you don't find any signs of any other entries. This lady's basement seems to be the only one...

(Sorry for being inattentive! I think having lost my notes made me really sad. I've been going off the cuff, so I need to make time to re-build this game. :( )

((Whenever you get a chance, if you could come up with three or four landlords and housing options that Skritch might have run across in the city, then we can work out which ones he may try to get a place to stay at.))

Jiron smiles meekly at the merchant. "I could give you 80..."

"It's a bit low for me, sonny," they counter, "what's about 95?"

Skabb shakes his head and enters the establishment. "Excuse me madam. I am sorry to interrupt you once again, but it seems that your shoppe is the only way to enter the ruins below the city ward." Skabb turns around and shows her the mark on the base of his neck. "I don't know if this is somehow a way to convince you to let me organise an exploration party to go spelunking in the caves. I seem to have been chose by Oethea to help our fellowship of races and the secrets of these ruins just might help us in the struggle we have against the gaians." He walks up to the counter and slides 5 coins towards the goblin. "This is just about all the coin I have at the moment, it is not a lot. But i beg you, please allow me and a few capable adventurers to search for the secrets that might be hidden under your establishment. You will be compensated if we find anything of value down there." 


Pesuasion: 15

Jiron sighs. "Sorry, I don't have that much currently," and walks away, somewhat dejected. He would have to wait another day to continue his project.
