Rhous picks up the Kutyan Emerald and holds it to the light. You can tell by his expression that he is impressed by its flawless cut, yet still you sense he is a little disappointed: he had hoped for something more exceptional than this fine gem. After assessing its worth he offers you 25 Gold Crowns. You haggle with him and finally you settle on a sum of 30 Gold Crowns.

(If, in addition to the Kutyan Emerald, you also possess any of the other items, Rhous would be willing to pay you 10 Gold Crowns for the Iron Skull, and 20 Gold Crowns for the Siyen Crown. Be sure to amend the details on your Action Chart before continuing your adventure.)
