Kadis : I don't like this little buddy. He's an Agent for the "Hand of The Macrocosm". If he's staking our my bar he must think something very magical is near by.

**Billibon shrugs as he thinks of the potion he is holding. He faintly remembers childhood stories about magic not allowed in the lands. Could his findings be magical. Could it be about him?**

*This is partially a true Rumor, magic is very much allowed in these lands, but whenever there is magic powerful enough to make the Hand's mistress feel threatened, an agent is sent out to "correct the problem". Kadis speaks up to the Agent.*

Kadis : So, what is one of Celest's boys doing out here for? Not this humble tavern I'd imagine.

Man : Is that so? My love thinks differently. My Beloved had sensed a powerful magical force somewhere in this Tavern and I will find it.

**Billibon takes a big gulp of his ale. He sighs thinking in what kind of trouble he got himself into. If only he knew what this potion is**

*This whole time the man is sitting there, his eyes glow a little. He stares at the back room.*

Man : What's back there?

Kadis : Oh, just my stock room, and Gunter... my Troll.

Man : Mind if I take a look.

Kadis : No, why should I, Gunter might mind though.

Man : I'll take my chances with your pet.

*The man stands and walks with Kadis to the back, leaving you alone in the main area of the Tavern.*

**Billibon looks frantically for a good spot to hide the leather pouch for now. He sees a fireplace, some tables, benches, and a huge pot with a palm like tree. He goes to it quickly digs his hands into the dirt to form a hole big enough to stash the leather pouch. He then covers it quickly and walks back to his seat. He rubs his hands clean with his pant legs and grabs his ale before taking a big breathe. His heart pounds quickly hoping that if he is searched the agent won't find anything. **

*A bit later Kadis and the Agent are walking out of the back laughing in a cheerful way. Kadis speaks to the Agent.*

Kadis : So we're good then?

Man : Yes, My Beloved Mistress will be pleased to know that it's harmless.

Kadis : Well it's harmful to sobriety!

Man : Hah! Quite right. Alright then I'll be heading oo...

*The man looks to Billibon a little confused.*

Man : Didn't you have a pouch a little bit ago?

"You must be mistaken there for I am but a humble farm hand from Greendale. I don't own more then a few gold coins and am in no need for a leather pouch," Billibon replies trying to keep a straight face and beginning to sweat.

Man : Huh, I was almost certain you had a large pounce radiating with low-level Cao-Cayan magic... Oh well. You have a good day, my work is complete here, thank you for your cooperation.

*The man turns to leave ad begins to head out.*

**Billibon shakes his head and takes another sip of his ale. Now he is more confused then ever before. Cao-Cayan magic? Only low level. Nevertheless it must be worth something in gold. He waits patiently to make sure the agent has left the tavern.**

*The Agent steps out into the open air of the Tavern then pulls out a scroll and reads it. The Man glows brightly then disappears into thin air.*

Billibon gets up and goes to the pot to dig out his pouch. He then walks to the counter to order one more hill ale.

"Kadis would you know of someone who buys and sells potions? Perhaps identifies them also?" Billibon asks.

Kadis : That guy could have helped you... oh you thought he was after you? No Celest sensed my brewery, it conjures drinks you see... well everything but Grog, it never. could never get Grog right.

*Kadis makes himself stop rambling and answers the question.*

Kadis : Sam just down the road sells potions... that's an odd name, Sam... she must've loved her parents growing up

"Well we can never be too careful I always say. I saw how pale you got when that agent came in. I also almost fainted thinking maybe he is looking for me for doing... he hesitates.. well you know... he hesitates again , then he drops the subject.

***Billibon doesn't want to mention that he stole yesterday and he thinks that Kadis didn't see what he did***

Well anyway not to hold you up Kadis but I am about to leave for now. I will be back later on to have one of those great ales and a meal of the day," Billibon mentions.

He leaves the tavern and heads towards the shop across the street where Sam is.

the 3 foot 11 hobbit looks up at the big sign reading in big letters SAM's. He then goes up the steps and opens the door to the store.

*The building is old, but in fine shape, it'd almost have to be with the noises coming from the inside as you walk inside. Billibon could swear he could hear a few explosions and an raspy elderly laugh. The room is divided down the middle by a long, but halfling-sized counter, on the other side of which are various do-dads and what-sits and also the source of the explosions. An Elderly gnome is standing on a stool holding a long pole-like object. He points the pole at a can on the other side of the room, suddenly fire shoots from the pole with a mighty boom, knocking the Gnome off the stool to the floor, at which point he laughs again.*

**Billibon laughs also finding it hilarious. He heard of gnomes before. They are supposingly a very inventive and creative race.

He then goes to the counter and waits for the gnome to get back up and adjusted.

*The old Gnome stood and dusted himself off again, but eventually noticed Billibon and smiles... well sorta, it's hard to smile with 4 teeth still in your head. He walks up to the counter leaning the Pole-thing against the counter.*

Gnome : Well howdy! I'm Sam, what can I do you for?

Billibon takes out of the leather pouch carefully the navy blue liquid potion and places it carefully on the counter. "Could you tell me what this potion is?
