"Well, ok. I've been tracking this thing for awhile now," he pulls out a tatered piece of paper that has a picture of a gemstone, no coloring, "This gem. It's heavily guarded, noone's ever been able to steal it before. The Salt's hiding away in one of the most secure rooms in his palace." he paces over to the other side of the room, where notes have been tacked up, "I've got an inside source who helped build the room. I recently stole a necklace that allows one to get in, which is required." He turns to Alvar, "that's not the bad part. There's no way to open the door from the other side. The Salt has someone stand outside the door to let him out again. That's not even the worst, he's got two huge cobras defending the room, which is essentially a throne room protecting this gem. When I say huge, i mean swallow-you-whole-easily huge. I'd say about thrity feet long for both. the Salt knows I want that gem, and he's pulling out all of the stops." He paused to catch his breath, "So, still interested?"
