"Oy! Whot's dis den!?" Blue barks as he barely catches a small pouch thrown in his direction by a rapidly departing figure.

Blue looks up to see who's to blame for the rude projectile and finds an elf already well on his way to escape. He's tall and slender, well-dressed and quite obviously harried as he calls back over his shoulder on his way toward the exit, "Lost all my inventory in the storm last night...quite valuable...you'll need those, if you can find what was lost."

Blue blinks heavily several times as the lithe figure disappears from view, the only further sound that of the front door slamming closed. Hefting the pouch a few times, the half-krolvin tugs the ties loose and peeks inside -- four keys lie within. One is adorned with sea glass, another with white opal, a third with onyx, and the fourth is made of pure obsidian.

With a chesty grunt, Blue closes the pouch and ties it to his belt as he makes his way from behind the bar.

"Don' got no time for dis nonsense. Ah got me own packin' ta do, a wench ta catch, and a boat ta hop. Good riddance," he mutters as he stalks through the back of the tavern to his quarters.

'Round abouts in the environs of Caligos are hidden four boxes -- well, one box, two chests, and a trunk (in both Plat and Prime). Find them, and if you're able to catch up with Big Blue as he tries to make his escape tonight from Caligos, he might be able to give you a key to open your treasure.

Ta-ta, loves. Happy hunting.
