View source for Seeking The Most Clever

Ink is running a quest! This is the second part of the quest: "Seeking the Most Clever." I  got a bit of a late start, as I was trying to get a few last location quests, with the help of [[Lexie]] and [[Teva]]... then had to repop some gear that got burned during a LQ.  Finally, we got started! I have shortened the log as much as I can, with notes and stuff, but it is still very long. [[User:Samiyah|Samiyah]] ([[User talk:Samiyah|talk]])

The merchant grins at you and says, <BR>
Ah yes, a fine piece of silverwork that was. It would have brought a nice price <BR>
if Id had the sense to hang on to it. Unfortunately, I uh, lost it in a card game <BR>
at the tables. I should have known he was a cheat the minute I saw him. I <BR>
would have won the key back if hed stayed for another hand, but he was in a <BR>
bit of a hurry to get out of here. Maybe someone else was after him for his <BR>
cheating ways. He drank a potion and got wrenched from the room. Ive never <BR>
seen him anywhere else, and believe you me, Ive looked. If you can find where <BR>
people land after a potion gone wrong, he should still have it. If you find him, <BR>
tell him Sergius sent you.<BR>

[Exits: north east south west]<BR>
You gaze around in wonderment at the simple beauty unadorned in your<BR>
surroundings.  The mild tone set by a soft rustling of brown and dark green is<BR>
oddly attractive, and it occurs to you that perhaps this is an enchanted<BR>
forest, a place powerful sorcerers of the natural arts long ago used for their<BR>
studies.  You recall ancient lore that speaks of such places, places that<BR>
possess mystical properties inherited from their enchantors, places where<BR>
nothing is how it first appears.  In fact, you may want to look more closely at<BR>
the forest in general ('look forest') and examine your surroundings ('look<BR>
<direction>') just to be on the safe side.<BR>
Only now are you able to get a clear view of the brick wall separating this<BR>
forest from the Cyrenian Gardens; the other side was nearly completely hidden<BR>

it was the first thing he ever stole as a kid. I dont know how he got out of here, <BR>
