"...Very well, ma'am. And what about this?" Place the gemstone we found on the counter.

[Devastator]

The weapons shopkeeper is wholly uninterested in changing the subject.

"Look, you never answered my question.  How did you get Shun Ziji's blade?"

[Superdorf]

Sigh. Speak low. "Have you somewhere we could speak... out of earshot?"

[ZBridges]

He already said he "[doesn't] know" if the blade has any special properties.  I think we're done here.

How would we investigate the other items?

The other items will be done later, just this one needs to go first.  Still all one action.

Also, the 'I don't know' is very much not an 'I know it has no special properties.'  More of a "I don't know exactly what special properties the Black Blade of Shun Ziji has."

The guy is extremely enthusiastic about the weapon.

[ZBridges]

Well, if he doesn't know, his usefulness for this matter has come to an end.  I suppose we will have to experiment with it to determine its capabilities, which may be potent.

"If it really belongs to such a dangerous individual, it's probably better that I don't say how I came by it.  I mean, would you?  Thanks for your help, I guess I've got to get out of town."

[Devastator]

It might help him identify what it can do if he were to be allowed more than two seconds of looking at the object.  In order to do that, though, you'll need to answer that question.  If not answering that question is more important than having this person try to identify it, then that's fine.

I mean, he isn't Deckard Cain.

[ZBridges]

Ah I see, thanks.

"In self-defense, while cornered on the street, I fought desperately to protect myself from an assassin.  In the ensuing struggle, I somehow managed to score a hit on him, and he dropped this blade."

"Can you appraise this blade and tell me what its capabilities are?  I do have time to stay awhile and listen."

[King Zultan]

Are we sure we want to blatantly admit to killing that guy, to some shop keep we don't know?

[ZBridges]

The proposed dialogue would indicate we hurt him, in self-defense, but didn't kill him.  That we fought an assassin is pretty well known at the moment, as we did gain prestige from it.

[King Zultan]

Oh okay didn't catch that the first time.

Ah I see, thanks.

As you speak, all of a sudden his excitement turns to nervousness.

"He dropped the blade?"  "..You mean, you took his blade, and he's still alive?"

He then describes Shun Ziji, (as a quite handsome man with certain facial features and a tendacy to ponce about in battle) and you confirm that the man you saw is the same as the man this person knows as Shun Ziji.

"No, no noo, I'm not crossing Shun Ziji.  You should run.  Run and hide, because he won't forget about his Black Blade."

"Maybe.. Maybe.. maybe you can leave it here and then run.  I'll spread the word that you gave it to me, and hang it on the wall, and he'll take it back.  If you give him his weapon back, he might let you get away."

[Egan_BW]

"Wellll... Okay, maybe I did a little more than score a hit. You know, I don't think he'll be needing this any more..."
