Travelers' Oddities

Unread post by DaloLorn »

Those who frequent the Sword Coast's many merchants may overhear rumors of various items for sale here and there...

Virin's Wares

Wandering Helmite's Sword wrote:A redheaded human girl has left word with Blunt that she's recently come across a large sword bearing a Helmite emblem on the hilt and a peculiar array of enchantments. Those interested in purchasing it (as opposed to merely inspecting it) can look for "Dae".

Note: The redhead has recently told Blunt that she remembered her real name is "Virin".

Bastard Sword, +3 STR, +1 Universal Saves

Although it seems only mildly enchanted at first, it seems to channel some of the force of its user's blows back into them, reinvigorating them and accelerating the process of healing their own wounds.

Ideally suited for an archer, these may have belonged to an Amnian soldier lost traversing the Cloud Peaks during the Amn-Gate War. None of the items are particularly flashy, but they are superbly crafted regardless; despite a decade of neglect, the equipment is in excellent condition.

The redhead is hoping to sell them all together, but seems willing to negotiate individual sales.

A few days ago, a sullen Dae withdrew her request for silencing items. She did not offer any explanation for either her mood or her diminished interest in stealth. (OOC: Archived the "WANTED: Stealth Items" post.)

Yesterday, she also told Blunt she remembered her real name is "Virin". Presumably, she'll still answer to either name in a pinch, but it may become easier to get in touch with her using her real identity. (OOC: She's finally remembered it! :lol: Updated the "Wandering Helmite's Sword" posting with her newold name, but it only really means anything if you're looking for her via the scry.)

WANTED: Cold Warding Equipment

Unread post by DaloLorn »

The winter and spring go by uneventfully, with any inquiries about Virin and her finds going unanswered, and nobody knowing where she was. But the items remained, not sold before her return, and not withdrawn after her reappearance following the beginning of the Godswar. But she does not ask if anyone showed interest in them; she has forgotten, perhaps, that she was selling them, or maybe even that she had left them in storage to begin with.

As this eventful summer draws to a close, Virin starts making inquiries at the Gate and Friendly Arm about magical trinkets capable of warding off the cold, in anticipation of the coming winter. She makes reference to a particular type of Northerner ring, known in her hometown of Zazesspur as a "Ring of Might", that had served her well in the past, though she quickly clarifies that she doesn't necessarily need exactly that kind of item.

While making a visit to the Mudd's branch in the Wide, Virin finds a ring akin to the one she'd once worn. She subsequently makes it known that she will not be needing any more items against the cold.

Found what I needed!

After an unexpected battle in the market, the masked figure is not seen returning to Soubar. This would seem to leave no clear means of contacting her... but her identity is now known, at least: "Ilhara", a drow sorceress rumored to be on good terms with the monks of Candlekeep, among possible others.

It will not be easy, but it may still be possible to reach out to her through some of her acquaintances...



Due to recent events, Ilhara is no longer able to receive messages via any of the NPCs in Soubar, and she is either unwilling or unable to list her goods anywhere else at this time. Forum PMs and posts related to the items listed above will be ignored until she is able to set up an alternative avenue of contact; until then, any attempts to purchase her items will have to go through her PC allies and associates.
