You ask around for the pocket watch at auction house The Crown Opal, and at the fence operating from behind a front bakery “Pink Pastries“. You find out that there’s a night auction at the Crown Opal, where rare collectables are sold to the wealthy elite. You bring some loot to the auction house (it’ll be auctioned off in 2 days time at 15:00), and at midnight you attend the night auction. There you buy the pocket watch for 1300 gold pieces.

Amadi scores a date with Camilla, a noble women and the only other remaining bidder for the watch, and ends the evening stealing a golden armband off some rich lady.

Another item for auction, a sword with an eye in the hilt, had quite a physical reaction on Therearys: his hand starts to hurt and bleed. It’s sold for 1000 gp to a Goliath known only as Keeneye.

At the end of the night auction you stand in line to pay for the pocket watch, when you notice that Keeneye is not paying for the sword, he’s actually getting the sword plus 170 gold pieces. Could that be the 1300 for the watch minus 10% auction fee, minus 1000 for the sword? 🤔

You follow Keeneye out of the Crown Opal, and instead of sneakily following him to whatever hideout he calls home, you talk to the man: where did he get the pocket watch from? Why did he steal it? Keeneye ignores you and walks on, upon which you three surround him. Keeneye responds by calling for the guards. They don’t seem impressed by your lack of evidence of Keeneye stealing the watch, but agree to take you all to the watch office. It seems clear that the sergeant and Keeneye know each other though.

At the watch office, you ask for a priest who can detect lies, and you are asked to wait inside of the cells. You agree to enter the cells, the guards leave.. and don’t come back. Amadi opens the lock on the cell and after a lot of back and forth, Keeneye gives you the address of Pollock Jackson, in exchange for your word that Pollock won’t be alive for much longer. A few hour later, a portal opens inside of Keeneye’s cell, which he enters, and escapes.
