"Well yes, Uncle Deckard was a skilled wizard.  Used to travel with his own adventuring group, back in the day.  The basement library is where he keeps his collection of old tomes, spellbooks, and scrolls.  He's getting on in years, though... tends to not remember half the things he should.  Which is why the place needs cleaning so often, really," he chuckled.  As Zitka began to touch him under the water, his free hand went to hers, lightly brushing it.  "Don't worry, there's nothing dangerous down there.  We've had a few mishaps, and Uncle's not allowed to keep anything dangerous there."<br/><br/>"Ah, of course, payment," he said with a bit of a forced laugh.  "I'm willing to pay up to one thousand gold for information on where Mira is, depending on how reliable and useful it is.  I'll pay more for her return, of course, at least fifteen hundred, but I'm willing to negotiate much more depending on if there's any danger."
