Description

Barb, a younger woman of fair complexion and feature, deals normally in fine rugs and carpets, and maintains a good stock of such in the tent. She also functions as a fence for jewelry items lifted by some of the markets thieves; her ratings are:

  • Up to 6,000gp value at any one time
  • Fields: Carpetry, Jewelry, Glassblowing
  • Dealing Outside Normal Fields: 20% (small items), 5% (large items)
  • Min/Max Offers: 15%/60% of value; “hot” goods - 5%/30% of value
  • Stings are attempted on any items exceeding 10,000gp in base value
  • Guile - a switch of merchandise for jewelry - is attempted first, with Force as a last resort or if a fuss is made by the swindlee

Barb will occasionally attempt a swindle, replacing a jewelry item with a paste imitation. Her fakes are of excellent manufacture and are unlikely to be detected by a non-jeweler.

Two large “associates”, Ricoh and Shannon Havs, are usually present at the stall, helping Barb with the rugs she buys and sells. They also help quiet those unruly victims who have discovered the swindle Barb has pulled.
