Oguchai Li:

You may leave word with the owner of this establishment before you leave. What is important is that I show you what it is that we are searching for. With this he brings out a small scroll with detailed drawings of the lost items. It is typical Shou styled armor (to your eyes) made of interlocking laquered plates embossed with the Jade Monkey design used for their Coster. I will leave this with you, if you take with you I will see that as a sign of acceptance on your part.
