After announcement over the chip of a new bodyguard hired a brown haired man is seen raising updated copies of the flyers above.

Of gossip and likewise, from Qadira-by-the-Sea to Ka'esh and a few other unexpected places the massive Stonefolk figure - now head to toe in illustrious Banafsian Amethyst and Light Bronze is seen traveling with an entourage in tow. Sightings of the Gilded Groknak even reaching the far stretches of Mount Kulkund.

Curiously enough before one of these journeys Sol Auk was seen giving a large purse to one of the Sultan's own Janissary inside the Citadel itself to depart and serve as personal escort.

The water business, it would appear, is booming.  This despite the claims and sightings from the Souk of Salt and Spices that many disgruntled customers often argue over prohibitively high prices on water and leaving without a single purchase.

Another endorsement is raised above by a Voiced of the Well, Leiah notably of the Purple League. As well two odd weapons - A Qadiran Raiders Flintlock and a Dancer's Crossbow, both at prices that may raise the eyebrow...

As business expands, narcotics are added to the list of available offerings. Equally the diplomatic social club seems to have some members of increasing status...

Within the Office of Particular Import, a GARGANTUAN block of stone is seen hauled through by Sol Auk and another Stonefolk in piecemeal armor of hide and tortise shell. They speak for a time in the Palm Heights before the other Stonefolk departs.

THE BUSINESS SLAB has come.

...there goes the neighborhood. As now through all hours of the night the Envoys of the Gilded Groknak can be coming and going from a particular office of import.

While the day's assembly meeting was eventful, Senior and long tenured Magistrate Sol Auk revealed later in the night some unexpected business.

QuoteSol Auk
Wajeeb of Ephia's Covenant, he comes to Sol Auk and says - The People suffer, they cry, they thirst. Before Sol Auk could haggle, he proceeded to remove a sizable purse and purchase the -entire- stock of The Gilded Groknak's Water. The Well will drink well this day...

As Sol Auk leaves the business of Water to the far superior Wajeeb, may you all enjoy the Premium waters at most affordable prices. So charitable, so robust the wealth, of Wajeeb that Sol Auk retires from the sale of Water. Live and Drink.

QuoteWajeeb al-Sattar
Friends it is I Wajeeb the Water merchant! Magistrate Sol is a gifted haggler so I knew I must use not only dinar but a silvered tongue blessed by the mercy of the mother. With her guidance I secured his stock of most precious waters for those who thirst and need of them but can not afford the prices in the course of their efforts to survive and improve themselves here in our great city.

I will not be raising my prices or taking advantage of my fellow refugees. I work hand in hand with the wonderful doctors of Ephia's Covenant and will donate many waters to their supplies while still selling to those who risk their lives upon the sands to grow the wealth of the city. Find me in the Krak if you thirst. Seek out members of Ephia's Covenant if you feel sick or need treatments for ailments. I wish you all to Drink and Live!

Were many spat or scoffed at the prices over the last many weeks, it seems Wajeeb the Waterslinger has achieved no small feat.

Not only having the wealth or business-savy of buying the stock outright, but securing retirement of the Gilded Groknak from the Sale of Water.

The proverbial Groknak slain as the promise of the Waterslinger rings out - No prices raised.

Over time the crude flyers above fade in desert sun...
