==Selkie Recap==
===Day 53===
Selkie has returned to a life of crime in the city of Solstace. She had decided on a target to rob tonight, a residence with an attached tower. The residence however is nearby the Guard House.
That night, in a storm, Selkie sneaks over to the outside of the residence and scouts it out in the dark for a point of entry. She gets to the wall of the building and breaks inside with her dagger. She scouts around the interior, trying not to alert the people inside. She finds cosmetics, candelabras, jewelry, and other valuables.
In a 3rd floor bedroom, under a bed, Selkie finds a secret passage under the floorboards, but the passage doesn't seem to lead anywhere. As Selkie crawls out from under the bed she comes across the a resident of the room, a young nobleman. Selkie instinctively attacks the nobleman, knocking him unconscious. Selke stabilizes his wounds and puts him into the bed. Selkie steal's the nobleman's sword. Selkie escapes the room and keeps exploring the building.
Selkie comes into a room with a servant sitting inside. The servant spots Selkie and defends himself from her attack. The servant claims that they are paid up with the guild, so Selkie pretends that they haven't paid enough, and owe the thieves guild 100 more gold. The servant, Wallace, withdraws from the room into the corridor.
In the parlour a older nobleman is standing with a sword. The Older Nobleman claims to be a protected man, and demands Selkie's name. Selkie gives the alias "Nightblade". The Nobleman refuses Selkie's demand of payment and fights with her, and orders Wallance the servant to get backup. The Nobleman is a trained fighter, but Selkie manages to cut him down. Selkie hears downstairs Wallace call for guards. Selkie quickly loots the parlour, grabbing a silver tray. Selkie then hears footsteps coming up the stairs. Selkie breaks with window and jumps out with Featherfall. However, in the air a wild surge happens and she gets X-Ray vision temporarily.
With the X-ray vision Selkie sees a guard run into the room she just jumped out of. Selkie also sees a woman hiding in the closet of the room where the young nobleman was left behind. Selkie lands on the ground and uses her x-ray vision to avoid more guards. The x-ray vision only lasts 4 minutes
Selkie spends an hour in the rain to have it wash off the blood on her, uses a rain barrel, then Selkie makes her way back to her inn, the Traveler's Oasis. At the tavern Selkie sees the proprietor passed out. Selkie leaves them alone to avoid suspicion, and goes up to her room to rest.
===Day 54===
Selkie goes over her loot in more detail in her innroom. Selke reads a letter she took and sees it was written by a Lord Blackwell, dated a few weeks ago, to Lucas & Lucina, being invited to stay at the estate. The jewlery she stone has blue gemstones in them. Selkie then tries on the fine clothes she stole. She looks at the 2 weapons she took, a simple longsword with an onix on the hilt. Selkie then casts Detect Magic and finds Onyx Stone on the hilt of the sword is indeed magical. Selkie finds one of the rings she took was a Signet ring. 
Selkie heads down to the docks to the Dock Spot to look for a fence. Inside Chip is back in town, now sporting a goatee as a disguise. Selkie goes into the back from with some of the stolen items, silver tray, golden band and the sabre. Chip pays Selkie 43 gold, minus the Goldsmith Union's cut.
Chip then offers Selkie a job, a delivery for 10 gold in six days time. In the new quarter is a spa & bathhouse, owned by Maester Fishborn, has made a order. Selkie is suspicious over the high prince for the delivery for such a short distance. Chip explains that Maester Fishborn is a warlock, so they need someone trustworthy to do the delivery. The package will be delivered by ship to the warehouse in six days at dawn.
Selkie tells Chip she needs to steal a 100 gp pearl for the identify spell. Chip warns Selkie that the Goldsmiths Union is known to kidnap a spellcasters. Chip also says all the town's gem merchants have protected status. Chip says he can import a Pearl from the Southern Isles.
Selke goes to the Solstace Library to try to learn the identify spell. Selkie heads to the Sunblade's Office but he is out. Selkie then meets with Gareth. Gareth agrees to teach Selkie, and brings the read magic prism. The two spend the whole afternoon doing spell learning. Gareth then calls an end to the lesson, asking Selkie to come back tomorrow to learn the rest. He also asks Selke to provide her own pearl for the spell, as well as an owl feather and wine.
Selkie returns to the Dock Spot and is told the 100 gp pearl will cost her 90 gp. Selkie has to find a source of money now.
===Day 55===
Selkie returns to the library, empty handed, without the pearl, owl feather or wine. Gareth is very disappointed with Selkie. Selkie leaves promising to return later when she has the stuff. Now alone, Selkie spends the day learning the copied identify spell on her own.
Selkie then scouts out a place to rob that night. She tries to break into a house, but finds that she can't. Selkie decides to buy some lockpicks from the Dock Spot. She buys a set of lockpicks for 30 gold.
