At a silent and rather inconspicuous table of one of the many libraries around the city seats Aria, accompanied by towers of books and tomes of various subjects. In the early morning, she can be spotted leaving the Golden Plow to move straight to the library, and perhaps once or twice a day, she will leave the library to purchase meals. Rarely making any contact or conversation other than that of which is required, she remains silent for most of the day in this manner, mostly spending her days reading at the library.
Recently, she has been researching into the creation of magical items, as noted by the sizable pile of books of said subject surrounding her and the table she sits at.

A dwarf with greying black hair and a leather apron is walking about your section of the library looking for books. He occasionally talks with the librarians and you can hear him swear often as he comes to blank spaces on the shelves. He eventually comes to you and says with a bit of an accent from the Iron Realm to the north, "Hallo miss. I Can't help but notice the rather large pile of books on the making of magical items. I came looking for much the same texts. Specifically that one and... that one." He points at two fairly rudimentary books on the theory of enchanting. "If ya don't mind me taken em off your hands for a bit. Sorry where are my manners? Azdin is my name." He holds out a very well calloused but clean hand to you.

"..."
She hands Azdin the two books before returning to the book that was currently in her hand. Without replying with a handshake, she utters her name, and nothing more.

Togo, riding Aobozu, wanders into the library. The library is one of the few places Togo doesn't get a hard time for bringing Aobozu indoors because the employees recognize her by now and know he's harmless and that Togo needs him to travel.
She rides past Aria, spotting the many books on magical item creation surrounding her.
"Hi, my name is Togo. And this is Aobozu."
She pats her Eidolon on the side and smiles at Aria.
"Do you create magical items? You have an awful lot of books on the subject."

Noticing a rather small figure approaching Aria, she sets the book on the rudimentary principles of magical crafting down on the table before turning to the stranger.
"...Greetings, Togo. Aobozu."
Rarely making conversation with others, Aria seems less taken aback by this halfling that rests on an odd looking creature that resembles a chair on wheels. In fact, she was less surprised about this girl than she was about the dwarf that made contact with her some days ago. Of course, she hadn't really talked to anybody since, but...
"...Yes. I have recently been dabbling into the creation of magical items. By any chance, do you require my services?"

"Actually...now that you mention it, I heard about a magical item from one of the bards in town. I think she called it a 'Sleeve of Many...Garlics'?"
Togo puts a finger to her head and thinks for a moment.
"No, that can't be right...um, well...anyway, it's supposed to be able to help you change your clothing really fast. Getting dressed in proper clothing is actually pretty diffcult to do when your legs don't work so well, hahah."
Chuckling, Togo knocks on her leg twice with her hand and gives a slightly sad smile.
"What do you think? Can you make it?"

"Garlics...?"
Aria quickly pulls one of the books from the pile, nearly toppling it over as a result, before flipping through a myriad of pages before stopping at a particular one.
"Ah, you must mean the Sleeve of Many Garments. Yes, I would be glad to create one for you..."
She holds a hand out to Togo.
"I do not believe I have introduced myself. My name is Aria Seryn, at your service."

Togo smiles and reaches out her hand, giving a gentle handshake.
"Ms. Aria, then. Thank you!"
She then produces a small pouch of gold containing approximately 225 GP.
"Here you are. This should cover the cost of your services, right?"

Aria reaches out for the pouch and looks through it, realizing that Togo had put more gold in the pouch than Aria required. She removes 150 GP from the pouch and hands it back to Togo.
"This is all the gold I require for my services."
As she says that, as if a light bulb went off in her head, she suddenly recalled that there was an item in her bag...
She digs through her bag and produces a pair of sleeves and hands it to Togo.
"Sleeves of Many Garments, as requested."

Togo recoils in shock.
"M...Miss Aria, you're amazing! Is that how magic crafting works?!"
Not even realizing why, Togo takes the gold Aria hands back to her with the sleeves.
"How did you do that so quickly?"

"... A trade secret."
It's almost comical of how coincidental it is that Aria would have the exact item that Togo needed at the right place and time.

As Reinhold walk out of the library with a bag filled with books on the art of sketching and laws of Rook. He cannot help but notice one of his former companion sitting beside a rather large pile of books.
The inquisitor walks toward her with a smile on his lips and greets the young woman.
"Long time no see little lady! It feels like ages since we have fought that gibbering mouther at the goblin caves. If only our weapons were a bit more effective against the beast then perhaps the fight could have finished without half the party covered in goo."
"How have you been doing lately? You are looking a bit pale. Here, have one of my sandwich."
Reinhold grins as he hand over a little bag to Aria, smiling expectantly.

"Pale...? Hm."
Aria accepts the sandwich and begins to nibble at it.
"Ah, the mouther. It has been quite awhile. I've been doing alright, a few blunders here and there, but I suppose I'm thankful that I'm still alive. What brings you here today?"
Aria returns an expression that isn't quite a smile nor expressionless, yet it conveys some sort of companionship with the man that stands before her.

"Research mostly, books on the laws of Rook and sketching manuals to be specific. Some of my recent adventures has also shown me the importance of stealth, so I have been borrowing books written by some famous rogue hoping to learn some tips. I have been putting her theory to the test lately in the library. So if you ever hear anything suspicious or people screaming....is probably me."
"But now that I have seen you, I was wondering if you can help me craft and enchant some items for me, of course I will pay based on the standard pricing, plus I will throw in some surprise shoulder massages!"
The Inquisitor hold up his hands and wiggle his fingers in the air to demonstrate his technique, "Why surprise massages you might say? Well I am trying to incorporate my stealth training into my daily life and this can be part of it."
"What do you say?" Reinhold asks as he continues to make elaborate hand motions in the air.

"Shoulder massages...? I think I will pass."
Aria, slightly apprehensive at the suggestion of "surprise" shoulder massages, clutches her shoulder lightly.
"...However, I can create the items you require, for the right price."

Jochem wanders into the library and stops at the main desk to speak with the librarian. "I am looking for a young..." Jochem pauses as the librarian shushes him, "... a young woman by the name of Aria who frequents this place." The librarian points back to into the depths of the shelving.
Jochem searches through the stacks for a woman matching the description he was given and eventually finds Aria. "Are you Aria? I was told I could likely find you here and that you are skilled at the crafting of magical items. If you have time to help me I have need of a new backpack. I find I have not had room for all the things I might need on past expeditions. I have heard others at the Plow speak of bags which are larger inside. Could you make such a thing for me? I have been most frugal this last month in the hopes of finding a crafter capable of such a feat."
(Handy Haversack please, 1500 GP ready)

"...A magical item? You've come to the right place, for I am able to create this backpack you speak of."
Aria rummages through some of the piles of books surrounding her, before pulling one out labelled "Magical storage 101". She riffles through some of the pages before stopping on a page that contains information on the Handy Haversack, a seemingly ordinary backpack that grants the wearer the ability to always pull out an item without having to rummage or dig for it.
"I will have this ready for you, so please return tomorrow."
(Add the Handy Haversack to your inventory and -1500gp)

"Shoulder massages...? I think I will pass." Aria, slightly apprehensive at the suggestion of "surprise" shoulder massages, clutches her shoulder lightly. "...However, I can create the items you require, for the right price." "You will pass? Well I suppose I cannot force you to accept." Reinhold lower his hands, looking disappointed as his hood slide down a bit. "Nevertheless I am happy that you are willing to help! Here is the list of items that I am looking for. My first request is for you to enchant this scythe for me." The Inquisitor continues as he unfastened the belt which held a wicked looking bladed staff and placed it on the table. Next he took out a bag of gold and placed it next to the weapon. "Hopefully this should be enough(1500gold), I will be back tomorrow to retrieve my weapon. Now if you will excuse me, I have some training to do." Reinhold smiles at the young girl, murmur a few words and disappears from Aria's view. |

Jochem returns the following day as requested and finds Aria once again within the maze of books. "Hello Aria, I am here to pick up the wonderful pack you have made for me. I know it is a bit cumbersome, but this satchel has the promised sum." Jochem passes a small bag heavy with coin to Aria. "Thank you Aria, I will make great use of this."
