    I hope Fargo schools are good to you, Alec Henry. Our elementary school was no help at all diagnosing or treating Abby's dyslexia. We did all the testing and tutoring out of pocket. But now two and a half years after we got the diagnosis, she's an A student.
    But she still routinely asks how to spell things. I don't even bother trying to get her to sound things out. Once I start spelling it half the time she's able to finish it off herself.

So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
