Southern Cluster of Tents [NOLOOT]
Just off the main path through this encampment is a wide clearing
where several tents are clustered. The tents are fairly large, able
to hold several people and still have room to do other things aside
from sleeping. There are three tents here, which surround a large
firepit which smolders from a previous night of burning. Several
irons still jut from within, warming for reasons unknown. There are
logs set about the pit, stripped of bark and worn smooth from
continued use as a sitting place. To the east are more tents, while
north of here is the path.
[Exits: north east] [Doors: none]
[....G..] A smoldering firepit is here.
A short human rogue stands here, sipping on a cup.
A Timber Wolf follows.

Lyran Nanther says 'Ahhh yes... The acid Khesslar carries for me.'
Lyran Nanther Looks you over carefully.
Lyran Nanther says 'You look the sort out for your gain in these ruins.'
Lyran Nanther leans closer to you for secrecy.
Lyran Nanther says 'I use the acid to remove the valuable bits from the relics I find in these ruins.'
Lyran Nanther says 'Bring me any relics you find in the ruins and I shall see what I can do for you.'
Lyran Nanther says 'Carry with you the tankard of acid when you come so that I know it is you.'
Lyran Nanther says 'So many adventurers pass this way these days one can not be expected to remember them all.'
Lyran Nanther says 'When you have a relic you think may be usefull, bring it to me and say "estimate the value".'
Lyran Nanther says 'My services of course will require compensation, but we can talk about that when and if the time comes.'
Lyran Nanther says 'Good day to you then sir.'
Lyran Nanther grins at you slyly over his cup.

Lyran Nanther says 'Let me see what you have here then Xezat'
Lyran Nanther says 'Ahh yes.. I believe I can separate the platinum and gems from this wonderful specimen. '
Lyran Nanther says 'Give me that tankard and candelabra Xezat.'
You give a tankard full of boiling acid to Lyran Nanther.
You give a bone candelabrum to Lyran Nanther.
Lyran Nanther takes the candelabra and sets it on the ground.
Lyran Nanther tips the tankard up a bit and pours several drops of the fluid onto an exposed end of bone at each tip of the candelabra.
Smoke begins to rise from the bone as it is eaten away by the strong acid.
When the smoke clears, a small pile of platinum pieces and several gems is all that remains.
Lyran Nanther picks up the items and looks at you slyly.
Lyran Nanther says 'Now for the matter of payment. I believe a cubic zirconium from Westbridge should suffice to cover my costs.'
Lyran Nanther says 'Those gems fetch a nice price in these lands.'

Lyran Nanther says 'They may fetch a good price from the right person in that place. '
Lyran Nanther says 'At any rate... It's been a pleasure doing business with you.'

the lapidarist's assistant says 'That's a neat orb you got there.'
the lapidarist's assistant says 'I could polish it up to a nice shine.'
the lapidarist's assistant says 'Well, if I had the right cloth to do it with.'
the lapidarist's assistant begins to look about him.
The lapidarist's assistant peers at you intently.
the lapidarist's assistant says 'You see, there is magic in that orb.'
the lapidarist's assistant says 'If I use an evil cloth to polish it, it will do evil things.'
the lapidarist's assistant says 'If I use a good cloth to polish it, it will do good things.'
the lapidarist's assistant says 'Simple enough. Have you any polishing cloth I could use?'
< Xezat [13789/14066hp -20align] [Q:8 J:0] [ The Lapidarist's Stones ] 8pm> You give the dark orb of the phaerimm to the lapidarist's assistant.
the lapidarist's assistant says 'Sure, I can polish this orb for you.'
the lapidarist's assistant says 'Do you have a cloth for me to use?'
the lapidarist's assistant says 'I suppose I could use my own ratty cloth.'
The lapidarist's assistant sits back and begins to think.
the lapidarist's assistant says 'Nod at me if you want me to use my own cloth.'
the lapidarist's assistant says 'If you want your orb back, just say give it back.'

the lapidarist's assistant begins to gather his tools up for the work.
< Xezat [13789/14066hp -20align] [Q:8 J:0] [ The Lapidarist's Stones ] 8pm>
With great skill, the lapidarist's assistant begins to polish the dark orb.
Each stroke of his polishing block brings about a strange burst of light.
Slowly the dark orb begins to shine.
Until eventually it gleams with a near mirrorlike finish.
the lapidarist's assistant blows away the fine dust from across the mirrored surface.
the lapidarist's assistant says 'There, it is done. That'll be 5 platinum pieces please.'
the lapidarist's assistant holds out his hand waiting for payment.
the lapidarist's assistant says 'Funny though, it doesn't look all that good.'
the lapidarist's assistant says 'Well I did have to use my own polishing cloth, but oh well.'
the lapidarist's assistant puts away his ratty polishing cloth and grins.
< Xezat [13749/14066hp -20align] [Q:7 J:0] [ The Lapidarist's Stones ] 9pm> You give the lapidarist's assistant 5 gold.

the master of Neutrality says 'Interesting objects you carry there Xezat.'
the master of Neutrality says 'The age and the magical aura on the objects place them from the time when the city of Dlabraddath was at its peak just before the fall.'
the master of Neutrality says 'I believe there may be something I can do with those pieces of metal if combined with the right items and magic.'
the master of Neutrality says 'If you would like to know more, there is a favor you could do for me.'
the master of Neutrality says 'I am incredibly hungry, a pot pie from Tom's Bakery in Westbridge would hit the spot nicely.'
the master of Neutrality says 'One should never work magic on an empty stomache.'
< Xezat [13612/14066hp -20align] [Q:0 J:0] [ Main chamber ] 2am>
You give a big pot pie to the master of Neutrality.
the master of Neutrality takes the pot pie greedily from your hands and devours the whole thing.
the master of Neutrality sighs with pleasure at the meal.
the master of Neutrality says 'Living in the tower here rarely affords one to have the better things in life.'
the master of Neutrality says 'But you are not here to listen to me ramble about pot pie.'
the master of Neutrality says 'The metal you carry is from a candelabra that was a popular item in the ancient elven society that inhabbited Myth Drannor before the fall.'
the master of Neutrality says 'Such items were coveted for their ability to burn forever without needing a new candle.'
the master of Neutrality says 'With the fall of the city and the tainting and malfunctioning of the mythal however....'
the master of Neutrality says 'Well, magic gets screwy lets just say that.'
the master of Neutrality says 'I can use these items to craft an item similar to the candelabras that would not need the power of the Mythal.'
the master of Neutrality says 'I need for you to bring me the following items.'
the master of Neutrality says 'The platinum and gold rings you already possess.'
the master of Neutrality says 'One each of a brilliant diamond, ruby, topaz, garnet, opal, and emerald.'
the master of Neutrality says 'And I shall need one of the orbs that the masters of the Phaerimm carry.'
the master of Neutrality says 'The magic of the orb must be disrupted however.'
the master of Neutrality says 'I believe if it were polished with the incorrect cloth it may do the trick.'
...
...
the master of Neutrality says 'return to me when you are ready and We shall continue.'
< Xezat [13612/14066hp -20align] [Q:0 J:0] [ Main chamber ] 2am> You say 'ready'
the master of Neutrality says 'Excellent!! This should be everything we need.'
the master of Neutrality says 'Today you are going to witness history as we craft something only legend speaks of.'
the master of Neutrality says 'I will bind this orb with the metals and set the gems magically in the bands.'
the master of Neutrality says 'The gems will feed on the purposeless magical energy of this damaged orb for hundreds of years.'
the master of Neutrality says 'And this orb as a whole will blaze with light!'
the master of Neutrality says 'Are you ready for me to create the blazing orb?'
< Xezat [13612/14066hp -20align] [Q:0 J:0] [ Main chamber ] 2am> You say 'create the blazing orb'
the master of Neutrality says 'Prepare to witness elven magic, or at least our version of such.'
the master of Neutrality says 'Hand me the items then Xezat, and we shall make for you an item of power the likes of which this world does not know.'

the master of Neutrality lays the items out on a table to the side of the room with the orb in the center.
the master of Neutrality lifts the orb up into the air and begins to chant
The Master pulls his hands away and the orb remains stationary in the air.
the master of Neutrality grabs the platinum rings from the table and levitates them in the air as well.
the master of Neutrality makes some motions with his hands while deep in concentration.
The rings slide over the orb growing larger and becoming more narrow as they slide into place.
the master of Neutrality grabs the golden rings and repeats the process, the golden rings staying to the outside of the platinum.
The rings glow red hot for a moment as they burn themselves into the surface of the dull orb.
One by one the Master picks up the gems and places them against the gold and platinum rings.
The rings flash as the gems touch them and are fused to the surface of the metals.
the master of Neutrality looks at his creation for a moment still chanting as he slips into the common tongue to finish his incantation.
The Master of Neutrality looks up at the ceiling and yells 'Mystra, bless your humble servant with but a sliver of your power that thy will be done!"
From all corners of the room streaks of light converge on the orb illuminating it and forcing you to divert your eyes.
When you are able to look again The Master is staring at you from across the newly formed orb.
the master of Neutrality says 'Take your prize young adventurer.'
the master of Neutrality says 'Your defeat of the lich in his home was no small task and this much you deserve.'
