Sage looks at Celandor when he makes the offer of 1000 gold pieces. He must come from a very wealthy or a noble elven house. Or he just struck it real rich in old adventuring days bygone.

"Celandor, I will take up your offer on the one thousand gold pieces."

Sage reaches up, and cuts a lock of hair of he head with her dagger. Handing it to the elf she says, "I will be back shortly, there is some shopping I must do, it will aid us on the venture."
