Caiaphas smiled, and simply pulled out the duplicate. "I did some checking, and the bird is not what I want. What I want is inside it. So what I am offering is a second, identical bird, and the first one can stay with you after I have CAREFULLY removed the piece I want. I will magically repair the after removing the item that is inside.<br/><br/>Or has the hired mage either not told you or not noticed the Brotherhood spy loitering nearby?"<br/><br/>He had seen someone near the building, and with his trueseeing he had noticed a few things about them. One: they always had an illusion over them, but rarely the same one. Two: The illusion was usually a bottom or middle class dwarf that would have a reason to loiter for a while, usually a craftsman in an alley working on a building, or someone else, but the figure under the illusion was definitely human-ISH. Three: When Caiaphas had glanced at them, they had always left rather quickly.<br/><br/>So he planned to get the item, flash it at the spy with a smirk, before heading back to the inn. That would take the heat off the nobleman, and he would be far richer because of it.
