[Ilaya Taipa, Trader Outpost Gem Buyer]
A multitude of boxes stack upon the shelves lining the walls on the far end of this chamber, each a different size and type. Decorated with a colorful mosaic, a polished counter dominates the room, giving space for record keeping. Standing in the back corner, a guard keeps a watchful eye on all who pass through.
You also see an Elven appraiser.
Obvious exits: west.

> shop
There is nothing to buy here.
> steal appr
You can't steal here.

> ponder
You ponder.

> steal app
Maybe something on your person jingled, but all at once, appraiser looks straight at you and yells "Thief!" Two apprentices come hustling in. One grabs you, the other punches you squarely in the stomach! You fall to the floor gasping. They add a few kicks for good measure and return to work, grateful for a little break in the daily routine.
