A note scribbled in the market place reads:
"In need of Tailor. Please see Swift in the Library of the Mage's Tower. Competing offers welcome. Will trade for gold or Enchanting or Jewelcrafting services."
~Swift
A broad smile stretches across Swift's face. "Yes, of course. Please come in. There is small alcove over there. I'll conjure us some tea."
The alcove indicated is a small indent in the tower wall between the giant bookshelves. The mage ixifar produces a faint blue light and runs his hands over it. The light fades and solidifies into a set tea tray with sugar and cream on the side.
Swift takes a cup overing it to his visitor. "I've been working on perfecting the traditional Southern Sirison blend. You might enjoy it." Taking a sip from his own cup, he looks up and says, "Now to business. I require a cloak made or spellbinder silk. I have enough of the material for the project. I just need someone like you to produce it. What would your rates be for various qualities? I can offer limited gold, or enchantment and jewelcrafting services in return."
Arys follows the Ixifar and gazes around the Library, she then takes the offered drink and sips from the cup "Thank you, it's quite delicious." She gives an awkward smile. "Yes I can produce either. I am currently working on a few orders of rainbow motley, so it will take some time for your order to be compleated. As far as rates, 5 gold or some trade items equal to value is my standard rate. Lets talk quaility, I can do anything from a standard cloak, to a Master crafted cloak, but of course making a flawles master cloak takes some time and a lot more material, so the rate will double for such perfection." She then takes another sip from her cup.
Swift take a sip of tea and puts the cup on the table. " I would like the master quality if possible. Time is not a pressing issue. I plan on being here for quite some time. There are many secrets left to discover here. Have four bundles of spellbinder silk upstairs in my trunk which should be sufficient for the task. I don't know precisely what you will accept as payment so I'll make a couple of offers."
Swift takes a large glass stone from his pouch holding it up for observation. "This piece of glass can translate languages when looked through for example. Useful when reading through ancient tombs. (Eye of the Magi, "Translate" story action, 6G selling at 10G).
I can also produce carvings that can create objects such as the tea we have been drinking. (Story Item, "Conjure" story action, variableG). Though I'll have to make those from scratch.
Other items I can offer are two viles of poison. (Bloodscourgex2, +10 Tox to weapon single use, 2.16G selling at 3.25G). ...and the few gold I currently have of 12 Gold. Though since this a long term project I can certainly increase that over time. This is just what I have at the moment.
I can also provide various enchantments if you are interested. (PM Ikarafox, I can give you the list). My favorite idea is a small stone carved jade hammer that breaks down doors. (Breach). The Ixifar gives a small chuckle.
Arys watches intensely as Ixifar speaks and shows off a few items a slight smile crossed her lips. She admires the glass stone, it's unlike anything she has seen before. "Such a beautiful piece, a fair trade if you are willing to part with it. Master quality is a great choice and the added spellbinder will make it an extraordinary piece. If you'd like I can take your items now and start making preparations back at my work station." The Uordeq woman gives a slight smile and takes another sip from her cup.
A dark cloaked figure looking for a few items for her work bench notices the note in the market place and reads it. "Hmm, I have been terribly busy, but perhaps I could add a few more things to my list to do." She turns and heads for the mages tower. Once reached she opens the door and looks for the libray. "I've never been in here before, where could that damn library be?"
