Our Story:
Quaid & TristenQ are taking the bag of gems to the blacksmith shop, along with the broken key.
Meanwhile Happy & Pandora have dragged Zur on a shopping spree.
Meanwhile back at the Tavern.
E.T. Is hanging out with the fairies, while Thunk and Omar are trying to out drink each other.
Zur wonders away from Happy and Pandora while keeping a watchful eye on them.. walks over to the riffraff partially standing in the alleyway and asks "Greetings, wondering if there's any work in town for a gent like myself, looking to earn a little coin?"
Ok. So this will be our 1st personality check of the game.
We both roll 1D20
You get to add your personality to you or check,
The more you beat me by the better for you and the more you lose by the worse,
Ready?

@simplegame ooc: not really clear on your instructions.. what are my next steps for the personality check?
I walk from person to person in the marketplace making small talk and introducing myself. I tell them I'm new in town and wondering if anyone could tell me a bit of history behind our Lord Darkcloak since I haven't had the pleasure of meeting the man yet.
If they tell me they don't know anything, then I leave it at that and after a bit more small talk, I bid them farewell and move on to chatting with the next person. If they do tell me some of the back-story (history) then I press for more information by mentioning that we found some strange keys but don't know what they are for. I ask if they know of anyone who might be able to tell me what the inscriptions on the keys mean?
During my small talk, I inquire about each person and ask about their wares or skills that I should be aware of in case I might want to purchase something.
They know nothing about keys or inscriptions, but have nothing but praise for Lord Darkcloak.
You can find anything you want in the market
Thunk & Omar run out of Ale and notice Zarvagos is gone
“Hey! Where did the bartender go? ZARVAGOS!! WE NEED SOME ALE!”
Thunk wanders over to the fairy table to see if ET has any ale to spare. Thunk sets an empty tankard down on the table and stumbles into a seat. “ET, my man... Got a refill?”
Omar is drinking and falling into a daydream. the dream is strange he is in a different world and going to the same place every day. its no goblins or skeletons, but zombiz he things is zombiz on in a cart sems so strange. tok tok tok ruining on a strange road and so fast. he is tired......Waking up MR SKELITON...oho its only thunk. A need more ale a think.
Omar, wake up. You’re mumblin’ About bones and dead ‘uns. C’mon, let’s get ET and go find some ale.
Hahahaha, oh fairies, you're the best!
Can you hook this big lug up with a new beer? He's parched as!
Oi Thunk me big mate, where is our hooded friend and the old man? Think they need help collecting the kegs again? Should we give em a hand? These fairies might like to see how strong we are, hahaha!
HappyMe sent the ol’ man runnin’ Off upstairs crying. Poor guy seems kinda lonely. Maybe that’s why Zarvagos came back, to keep him company? He managed to talk his way behind the bar. hehe.
I think he went downstairs to get another round for us. Let’s go find him and give him a hand.
Thunk immediately starts a flexing contest showing off some HUGE biceps.
Quaid and TristenQ are allowed to use the forge while the dwarf in charge is finishing up with some other clients. (The bag has 4 gems)
Pandora is distraught she can see beggars.
Happy is wide-eyed at all the stall
Zur is..... well Zur
Pandora: "Ugh, the riffraff.. watch your Purse everyone"
I ask the dwarf if he knows of anyone who can enchant are gems for a small fee or sells metal
He tells you the Dwarven mage standing by the cart is available to hire. He is highly skilled.
I ask the dwarf if he can enchant the gems for a cost of 1 gem
Quaid: "We have some gold. Oh wait, well.. I left it back at the bar with Thunk."
He says he can but there is no guarantees. As sometimes gem’s break during the process.
Plus magic is difficult to contain so we don’t know what type of magic we will capture.
“Are ye game to try?”
What's the cost? I may have to go grab Thunk for our gold
Dwarven Blacksmith:
“Do ye have items you want to add the gemstones to ? Are there items you want to craft I have some xtra steel and iron lying around if ye need it. For a price “
can just use the metal. We did give you a highly valuable gem

After thinking he says....
‘Seems to be they would all be useless unless we helped you out. So I say it’s an even trade. Let;s get to imbuing them’
The Dwarven mage takes the gems into the building and attempts the imbue process.

Pandora tosses the broken bottle back among the trash, not wanting to be seen carrying garbage
So no weapons vendors here? Or can I continue to search for one?
Yes there is a weapons vendor.
It is the dwarf with the braids.
You walk up to her and she notices your house seal on your clothes.
