"Imagine living under her roof..." Clive returned to complete the trio.
"You know, there is truth to what I said. This place is filled with bored would be treasure hunters..." He idly plucked a few strings as he continued. It seemed like a nervous tic at first, but in truth he did it to infuriate eavesdroppers.
"But what if I said I knew of an opportunity to make good on a real prize? A significant bounty with an almost insignificant amount of danger attached? And no one but myself knew where this trophy was hidden?"

"I find it difficult to believe that any significant bounty or treasure would be lightly guarded or pose little danger, but the danger is half of the fun, isn't it? You at least have my curiosity."

"Well... There are certain difficulties involved in returning for this item, but mostly for me. I have a few... acquaintances who are likely still looking for a particular half-elven minstrel from Wildor, but not a pair of magicians from the Verdant Cabal."

"What is the prize?" Louis inquired, as he watched the sheriff trudge off, clearly more interested in the ends than the means.

"An ancient ruby. Said by certain scholars to have been uncovered in the bad old days. It's prior owner, a sorcerer, called it the Heart of the Seductress herself, but my former employer just liked that it was big and expensive..." Clive shrugged. "Either interpretation should suit our needs. Feel free to ask around about it's history, but do leave my name out of it. I'll tell you my own account at day's end..."

"I'd settle for anything to break this monotony. When do we start?" Balneiros looked between the two men, then towards the departing sheriff.

Servants arrived and began to set up for the contests top happen. Setting up for all the events.

"Not sure." He watched the servants setting up. "I still haven't decided who else we might need. Perhaps our sister. She can handle a blade better than either of us."

"She would make a good warrior, yes. Best we have her in front so we aren't disrupted." Balneiros turned to Louis, eyeing the now-packed stall. "I hope your actual abilities haven't gone stale while you've been peddling."

Toustain arrived at the village green and looked around to see where the contests would be held. The paladin was well known in the village so his white raiment didn't draw too many curious looks. Toustain looked around to see if his sister and Lorel were following him.
"Where do we enter the contests?" he asked a passerby.

The man turned to look at Toustain and rubbed at his nose. He was an old servant and his back was hunched with age. "What? Oh... the contests start soon." He pointed to where a large white banner was being unfurled. "You think to try your hand at combat, boy?" He spat out the corner of his mouth in a brown arc.

Toustain chuckled at being referred to as 'boy'.
"Could do old timer. Will I see you on the field?" he said good naturedly as he glanced at the indicted spot.

Sabarrah is just behind having gone with Toustain Lorel. She chuckles lightly. 'Your gonna get your arse kicked.. He looks a tough one.' She says gently teasing her brother and the old man.

"Every possibility." he said smiling. "Maybe I shouldn't enter."
He grinned. "Ahh why not, I'll risk it." Giving the old man a wave he strode towards the white banner.

"Feeling confident I see" Lorel said as she kept pace with Toustain. "Good, that's very good, keep that confidence. It shall serve me well" she continued, adding a villainous cackle for effect.
