"Hmmm, alright, I will explain myself again - I need you to take this shield and follow me downstairs," responded Kalash. The monk had a feeling he would be helping the old shop keeper test the strange looking shield. Without a word, the monk picked up the shield which lay on the counter and followed Kalash into the back of the shop.
"I had no idea this shop had so much more room underneath," stated the monk while Kalash lead the monk to a series of stairs spiraling down. Poropo did not know if taking this particular job from Kalash was such a good idea - perhaps Kalash was going to throw magic at the monk which the shield would attempt to block but always had a chance to fail! The monk made himself nervous due to the lack of finer details.
Finally, Kalash and Poropo were at the bottom of the stairs and in a large, open room lit by many sconces. Poropo was awestruck by the space underneath the shop, but still was nervous about the job he was currently undertaking, "this is a peaceful job, no?" Kalash walked over to the other side of the room while prompting the monk not to follow.
