"Hmm, so a wealthy independent student... or a wealthy school... or a private collector, unrelated or otherwise to the area of study... or the huntress has an interest herself."
Do you know what was the treatise on sorcery was about? Also the two first books were the knowledge contained with in, can you tell us more about them?
she pause again
Tell us about the commercial value of each book? and the location of each item and the security that was taken to protect each to prevent theft.
Ghiv blinks at the mention of swordplay and psychic warriors. All he could think about now was the damage that swords did to the soft tissue of a human being. Perhaps these humans drank poison because they knew the deleterious effects of swords when introduced to a human abdomen. He would have to ask one of them someday.
Priceless ok we got that part? mind answering my other question please and give us the titles / names of these three books? she says with a smile
"so, the huntress likely took them. Where to? Any ideas who wants them? Have they turned up in any collections?"
Ghiv watches them intrigued about this human activity of writing things down. He always thought it was easier to just remember everything.
Solinas will turn to every one
Don't know much about the first two but they do sound like having a more valuable trade secrets.
on the book of sorcery
"just trying to see if you know ANYTHING that would help us. A calling card is only so very slightly better than nothing to go on." Ducar says, unimpressed.
Talk about a needle in a haystack, especially if these theft were commanded in advance. Tell me dear librarian in the past few years has there been people that expressed a rather keen interest in anyone of those 3 books?
i wounder if we can find lead in the underground world of those to buy/sell rare tomes she thinks to herself while waiting for the librarian to anwser
"ah, NOW we are getting somewhere."
"At least now there is an idea of where we need to go" Thren'ody says
The waterfall is most beautiful. I've never seen more water acting under extreme gravitational forces before.
it is a start. Can you tell us more of there interest and who they clam to be about?
ok lets get to it then shall we?
When the party is alone So any idea or contacts in the shady parts of town for stolen goods? Should be do some background information of those three names we were given?
"I could see about it, but I don't hold out much hope. Females who already have jobs don't go where I work very often."
"I have a few friends who do less than honest work, I can see what I find out. I would also wish to go and gather the rest of my equipment."
Ducar, try to see if you have names for people who deal in reselling of stolen goods or if any of our three names are customers. Lets meet back in the front of this inn just before diner does that sound good?
"That would be fine."
"Works for me" Ducar says, departing to see about any fences that might run in the same circles as her.
Ghiv doesn't really have anywhere to go, so he follows Solinas around mutely.
Thren'ody head back to her home where she dons her armor and gathers her spear, before heading back out.
Ghiv has lots of ideas! Like, we should definitely not let our blood fall out of our bodies. Also, it is good to always tip your waiter. Oh, Oh, Oh, You should never ever run with sharp objects in your hand! Ghiv says in an excitable voice.
Solinas misses a step shoked at Ghiv's idea
Ok lets do this in order. first lets try to find some background information on Aristarchos and the book
and so with a new mission Solinas and Ghiv head to the Great Bazaar
Ahhh, the Great Bazaar. Ghiv wonders what wonders are available for purchase. Perhaps something to write a book, about going find a book! Ghiv chuckles to himself as he follows Solinas
Well you are going to pretend to look for one of the psionic books and i for the magic one and we alternate depending on the type of bookstore we find to ask our questions
Okay, Ghiv will ask for many books. He would especially like a book that shows how the liver works, Ghiv found that many humans do not particularly care for their liver. Ghiv would very much like to know why... Ghiv continues pondering human hate for their own internal organs for a while.

The great Bazaar was one of those things you get two in two days from one end of the city to the other. It basically a long road full of shops of every stripe. If you can find it here, it's definitely sold here. From strong drinks (the type of drinks that Ghiv currently questions), to exotic foodstuffs, to silks and other textiles, to magic and books. Lots of books.
Every book was meticulously copied, including books from the Middle Kingdom on acupuncture, or healing plants and herbs. There was even books on history, blacksmithing, and books on how to be a better person -- even if some of them were loony or serious, or smart.
Here, one can find copies of the famous forbidden books like the Necronomicon or the Book of Serpents.
Well we are looking for people who have show an interest or have the following books (and i don't mean copies) : The Psionic Arts of Mars, A Gallery of Magical Tattoos.
to see if we are followed.
Ducar sees about any fences she knows possible having some info
Well solinas with Ghiv in tow will take their time around the bazaar until diner time
(she will check many times to see if they are followed)
I'll try Salmoneus. Not really in the mood for impossible, haha

Haha.
(sorry)
Okay Salmoneus is in at his house, or at his counting house, counting coins. After all, what else do you do when you're not running about? Salmoneus is heavy set, wearing a himaton and chiton, being a prat. Well, at least to his slaves. He is taking out his mean on them, meaning he probably didn't make enough this time.
