Chimper #1366
When Aidan first set up shop in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, business was slow. The wizards were aloof, the scientists dismissive. Then, on a whim, they wore a ninja mask to a tense negotiation over a crate of humming geodes. The client, a notoriously prickly alchemist, fell silent. Assuming Aidan was a clandestine operative from a guild they didn't want to upset, the alchemist agreed to every term without argument. Aidan, bewildered, realized they had stumbled upon the greatest marketing tool in the realm. These days, the mask is a permanent fixture of their CEO attire. It's terribly impractical for sipping tea, but nobody has tried to haggle on price since.
