Mage seeking knowledge of how to make casting spells with a buckler or small shield easier!

[Dyndrilliac]

A fancy piece of parchment is pinned neatly on the Blackstone Keep tavern's bulletin board.

To all interested parties,

I, the great and powerful Artificer, seek a fellow student of the arcane arts who has either mastered the ability to forge a small shield or buckler light and unobtrusive enough to not interfere with the somatic components of spells, or has knowledge of where to acquire one which naturally possesses this quality for further study.

Naturally, I am willing to part with significant treasure accrued over a lifetime of adventure to secure this knowledge.

Seek me out, "The Artificer", in the Oasis or Dwarven Stronghold, between dusk and midnight to conduct our academic transaction in sufficient privacy...
