○ Nira Melubb's Jewelry Shop


As you approach the Jewelry shop, you can see a small female Gnome sitting inside through the window. Hanging from the window near the door is a sign displaying this being the Jewelry Shop. The Gnome is working at her small worktable. The rains are light, but the winds have picked up considerably. Many of the nearby shops and such are starting to close their shutters, and putting out signs to indicate that they are closed. So far Nira doesn't seem to recognize how bad its getting outside, until the door to her shop is opened, sending wind into her shop and disrupting her worktable.

After Kossoth and Virius enter, the historian shuts the door and makes sure that the latch caught.

"Apologies."  He said to the gnomish woman.  "It's getting to be quite the gale out there."

"No worries, I can have this cleaned up and just a jiffy." She says as she waves her hand about and the papers and loose objects all gather themselves back in place and nicely organized on her table. "Just a little magic is all it takes." she says with a grin. "I heard the weather was getting bad, do you think the storm is going to get worse?" she asks.

"Ah,"  Virius said, impressed.  "I had heard that your folk had a touch of the Art, bit I'm ashamed to say that I have not met one until this very moment.  Much less one so lovely and fair."

He steps forward to introduce himself with a formal little bow.  "I am Virius, Envoy of Wizardholme."  A hand to indicate Kossoth.  "My friend of course, you know."

"Some more gemstones have come into our possession."  He said, retrieving the aforementioned stones from his pack and laying them on the table.

"We would like to keep some of the smaller ones, but perhaps the larger would interest you?"

Nira smiles as she greets them both. "Wizardholme, never heard of it." she says. "Ah Gemstones, yes, let me see what you have." she looks very eager to take a look. "Where you thinking of just having me cut them down again, or purchase some of them. I have been commissioned by Rufus to make a ring, just trying to find the right stone." she says.

"Would you have any pearls on offer?"  The wizard inquired.  "We'll need a few if you can part with them."

Kossoth looked to his comrade to clarify, "The two opals and topaz are a little outside her range.  Here was my thought friend Virius.  Nira is a fine jeweler and should be able to take each stone that is worth about a thousand and facet them down into eight smaller ones worth about one hundred twenty five gold each.  Replicate it for each of the three stones and we have both an easy way to split the proceeds and..." he looked over to Nira, "her fee will be one of those stones and a few gold on top and that stone may make for a fine one of the ring."

He waved his hands at the other smaller stones, "The others we can take coin on and if the others wish to come back and buy them or others from her then it's easy to handle our shares."

ooc: (3) 1,000gp stones, break them into (24) 125gp stones.  Easy divisible for out 7 group members plus 1 for the party whole and the cost of the cutting is taken out of the party share.  Make sense?  If people want the gems they keep them...if they want coin at 125gp they sell them and get coin no problem.

Nira grins as she looks at the bounty of gemstones before her, picking some of them up and peering at them through her lenses. "This are wonderful, and better than the last group of stones you brought it. These are already polished, and cut nicely. The small ruby you have here isn't in that good of shape though, its rough cut might bring you ten gold, for an interested buyer. But both the Opals you have. I can trade for smaller gems, if you want. I don't have to gold to pay for them, but I do have trade?" she asks. "The Oriental Topaz is exactly what I need for Rufus' commission, Oh yes, this gemstone will work great for the ring he wants!" she gets excited. "If your open to trade, I will want it also." she says as she reaches over and grabs a small bag near her and pours out a grouping of gemstones, all polished and cut nicely into a small tray. About forty of them. "So you can pick and choose if you want, and we can trade?" she asks. "Oh Pearl's, no I don't have any, Burne buys any that I get, and I haven't gotten any for while." she adds.

She has about forty cut and polished 100gp each gemstones (Uncommon Gemstones.) which she is willing to trade for the larger gemstones. She will purchase the other stones using gold.

Virius nods.  "I think that would be most agreeable."

3,500gp in large gems becomes 35 small 100gp stones.

280gp in small and rough cut stones becomes 280gp in coin.

^^ Sound about right?

Nira is very happy with the trade and purchase. And she starts looking over her new collection of stones. "Thank you!" she says with excitement as if she has a new toy to play with.

Sounds good.

Pleased that the party shares could now be easily divided, Virius takes his leave.

"It was a pleasure, Nira." He said, inclining his head ever so slightly.

"If you'll excuse me, Kossoth, I have some private business to attend to."

Will head to the Widow Mathilde's cottage.

Kossoth nodded to Virius, "Travel safe."

After the mage left the shop he looked to Nira and did the calculations in his head before asking, "Nira, I am pretty sure that my share will exceed the value of the Aquamarine.  Are you attached to it at all or would you be willing to trade some of the smaller ones for it so I carry fewer gems?"

ooc: A single 500gp gem for the five smaller 100gp gems portion of his share

Nira is happy to help out with the exchange. "I get that, we Gnomes like to use gemstones because they are easier to trade and purchase things with less weight than coins. Plus not all nations take some coins. Gemstones are wanted everywhere!" she says.

Yes that is fine.

Kossoth bowed his head and smiled, "Thank you friend Nira.  I find that they do not absorb the heat that the desert likes to impart to heavy metal coins."

Looking around he added, "I may have come here to be part of those reverently laying to rest Elkiar Rusman, but it seems there is much work to be done around here that I can aid with.  I will continue to endeavor to bring new gems to you as we find them to bolster your supplies and options."

His brow furled slightly, "If I may ask what is the fastest way from here to Black Jay's residence from here?"

-->Leaving from here to see if Jay is home to talk to

"Black Jay has the small cottage across the path from the Church of St. Cuthbert." she says as she watches as you depart. "Thanks for the gems, please come back anytime!" she says.

Nira peers out her single window, through the shutters and notices the dwarf out in the wind and rain. You can hear her rushing off her stool and over to the door. As it opens she ushers you inside. "You are going to catch a cold being out there Master Dwarf." she cries. "Come in please." she begs. "I wasn't sure if staying open was the right idea, since the storm, but I guess I am needed, what can I do for you?" she asks.

"I may indeed catch a cold at this rate.  My name is Althiƶf.  I'm new in Hommlet.  I am looking for someone who could do some etchings in metal, and someone in the village suggested you might be able to do it.  Are you skilled in such activity?"

"Well, I wouldn't say that I am the best, but I'm likely the only one in Hommlet that can do it. Why, what do you need etched?" she asks. "Most of my talents are with gemstones, but depending on the metal I could likely do what you want." she says.

"It's actually an axe head.  I'm hoping to get some decorative tree-work designed into the sides.  If you could do it, how much do you think it'd cost?"

"You want trees, your a dwarf, wouldn't you want hills or mountains even!" she says. "I can do a tree though, shouldn't cost you too much, depending on the size I'd way around five to eight gold for decorative work like that." she adds.
