Jewellers

By Paul Sainty

Amongst the respected and wealthy traders, Jeweller's seldom welcome ruffians or strangers within their glass-lined shelves and expensive wares. Still, richer warriors with gold to burn head to this place, and jewellers will turn a blind eye to an adventurer's shabbiness in order to turn a profit!
All warriors are welcome at the Jewellers- as long as they have plenty of Gold!

A Jeweller's Service will take an extra day, meaning your warrior must pick his item up the next day in which he can do nothing else. Such services are undertaken only by skilled jewllers, hence their stock roll represents a jeweller's prosperity and standing.

Gemming and Setting may be used on Treasure Tables items, but the whole party must agree to it: if the service doesn't match the item, then it should not be performed!

An extra rule some parties may wish to include is this:- any warrior who fails a Stock roll at the Jewellers must instantly take an initiative test (-1 for Dwarves, Ogres and other less dainty warriors). If he fails the warrior knocks over a glass shelf filled with items worth 1D6 x 100 Gold! He must pay this amount and then is thrown out of the Jewellers for Timewasting!
