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

Virin makes it known that she's come into the possession of a peculiar quarterstaff. 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.
Quarterstaff, +1 EB, +2 Vampiric Regeneration
Lost Marksman's Bundle wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 8:38 am
After a recent venture into the Cloud Peaks, Virin has found herself returning with a set of worn-out magical items bearing faded Amnian colors and insignia. 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.
- Padded Armor, +4 AC
- Boots, +4 AC
- Longbow, +3 EB, +4 Mighty
Blue Diamond wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 4:43 am
While unloading a few dozen traps at the Friendly Arm, a slightly better-rested Virin lets slip that she found a massive blue diamond during her adventures yesterday. From the sound of it, the thought of selling or doing anything with it hasn't occurred to her yet, but this doesn't necessarily mean she wouldn't be willing to part with it for the right price.

The masked figure returns to Soubar - making a point of not revisiting Roaringshore - with an assortment of new items. Chief among these seems to be a masterfully enchanted sling, equally useful at any range and well-suited to sneaking around. This masterpiece is sure to fetch the highest price of anything she's offered so far, but some of the others might be of value as well:
- Epic Sling of Stealth - Bonus Feat: Point Blank Shot, +1 Electrical, +4 EB, +3 Hide/MS
- Boots of Elvenkind - Bonus Feat: Stealthy, +2 Dodge AC, Expeditious Retreat (5) 3/day
- Nimble Boots - +3 DEX
- Amulet of the Pious - +1 Natural AC, +3 WIS, Divine Favor (5) 1/day, Usable by: Cleric/Monk
- Heavy Ironwood Shield - -5% ASF, 40% weight
Greater Ring of Holiness wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 9:15 am
An auburn-haired young woman with a Waterdhavian accent, identifying herself as Caili Wender, makes it known from Baldur's Gate to Beregost that she's come into possession of a magical ring capable of enhancing a cleric's ability to invoke various lesser blessings from their deity. Having no clear use for it herself, she's looking to sell it to someone capable of putting it to good use.
Ring of Holiness, Greater - Bonus Spell Slot: Cleric 1-3
Dagger of Shock Survival wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 11:19 am
Caili soon decides to put up another item for sale - a dagger that considerably increased the wielder's resilience, and especially against electrical attacks. While it bears no offensive enchantments, many a spellcaster could easily circumvent this flaw...
Dagger, +3 CON, 10% Electrical Immunity
Bracers of Mage Armor, Amulet of Acid Resistance wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 6:22 am
Upon returning from another trip to Waterdeep, Caili makes it known that she's selling two new items: An amulet of acid resistance, and a pair of leather bracers enchanted with a permanent mage armor spell.
- Amulet of Acid Resistance - Acid Resistance 20
- Bracers of Mage Armor - +4 Armor AC, +1 Profession (Other), Material: Leather
Kama of the Mighty & Others wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 2:52 pm
After another journey to the Cloakwood, Caili spreads the word at the Friendly Arm - and soon elsewhere - that she's come into possession of a rare artifact: A kama whose every strike deeply invigorates the wielder, granting them some measure of extra strength even off the battlefield. In addition, she's picked up a few other items of lesser value:
Kama of the Mighty - +2 STR, +3 Vampiric Regeneration- Bracers of the Acidcatcher - +3 Armor AC, Immunity: Melf's Acid Arrow
- Epic Gloves of the Hin Fist - +4 AB, +d4 Sonic damage, OUB: Monk
- Greater Ring of Protection - +3 Deflection AC

Note: A sullen Dae has withdrawn her request for silencing items. She has not explained why she no longer requires them.
Looking for items with +Move Silently (and preferably other effects if possible), especially boots, helmets, and rings.
WANTED: Cold Warding Equipment wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 5:03 amAs 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.
Looking for items with Cold Resistance 5 or higher. Rings are preferred, but amulets, helmets, and belts with appropriate secondary stats (or appropriate prices) may also be accepted.

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! 
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.)

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.
