Stolen: Gromm's Folly

[Aux]

A common rumour doing the rounds... backed up by a few busts by the Watch on merchants and jewellers.

A huge diamond, known as Gromm's Folly, has been stolen by tomb robbers from The Temple of the Triumverate. The stone is burial treasure from the hall of martyrs. Its thought that Gromm was a goblin warlord from Sundren's birthing days, and that the diamond was a trophy from his defeat.

* Reaman wanders in one of the bars towards the end of the sun's light. Damn brothers..always complaining, always wanting me to do this, do that, do everything...
He asks at the bar for a shot glass of wine. Yes wine! And hurry up with it!

Leaning back on the bar he gently sips it, listening to the hubub of the drunken masses, a couple playing a rather fruitless game of "arm-wrestle-over-broken-glass", a few more chatting up the support column in the middle of the room, a couple huddled in the corner whispering...

...He looks around quickly. No one is looking. They are either too drunk or too stupid to notice me. He has his eyes on a lovely glowing dagger in the left pocket of the right man, huddled in the corner, and he starts towards it.

Pushing past the drunkards getting in his way he slowly makes his way towards his target, his hand outstretched, just a little farther and-

The man jumps back in tennacious laughter. "Ti' cannae be! Tha' ston be 'ere fer y'eers! How d'ya new tha'?"
"Well if you shut up a little I'll damn-well tell you, you stupid blithering oaf!" The other man replies coldly, and the drunkard relapses into a bemused silence...
"g'on then."
"I heard it from the inn before I came here because of the damn noise. It has gone missing"
"Bu' wha' hap-ned?"
"Well!" The man leans back against the wall and smiles an uncanny smile. "You will have to get me a drink before I tell you that!"

Reaman had sat down now on the table nearest them. He was going to be here for a while. That damn dagger was nothing. This was going to be an interesting evening... *

*hears the rumour and sighs* Well whoever the thief was has a long way to go before he can sell it at a decent price... I doubt any fences around here will pay more than a fraction of its actual value.

*Roger mutters in his beard as he overhears the rumor while drinking at Jimmy's*

By 'da feckin' Abyss, a' wus beaten ta' it! he thinks. All 'dat info-gatherin' for nuthin'...

*He then orders an extra beer*

Salagar the Grim laughs when he hears of the theft. " The thief will have to go a long way to sell that item." Or, he thinks, "wonder if someone paid to have it stolen?"

Salagar ponders this while he drinks another ale.

Rumors still on the streets that the Gromm's Folly has yet to show up or be recovered.
