Spoiler: Arden

Doctor Johnson fixes Arden with a glare. "I suppose that would be helpful. Fine. The artifact in question is a human fore-arm. A left arm. They let me see it when I was first talking to them... but I don't know if it is genuine. There have been many fakes of this over the years... anyone can take an arm and call it Kotar's. I will need you to inspect the item and make sure it is the real one. If it is, then I will purchase it from these scoundrels... at a fair price. You will get your cut, too. If it is fake, I will purchase it as well, at a much lower price, of course. These scoundrels have obtained a steamboat tied up near the Silkshore bridge. Haha, don't let the temptations of the city distract you from your work, young man. I have an associate who can deliver messages to me discretely. She will meet you by the docks. She will ask you, 'What do you do when the whispers are late?' your response, 'burn down the house'."
