Oblivion & PennyLore | Character dialogue

PennyLore

I stumbled across a tiny brass coin with a bizarre, almost unrecognizable symbol on it—seems like it could be a coded message from some old guild of spies. Any thoughts on what that might mean?

Oblivion

That symbol feels like a lock rather than a key—probably a sigil the guild used to mark its own. Think of it as a code that only insiders could decode. If you’re curious, keep it safe, trace its style to old spy marks, but don’t let anyone else see it until you’re sure it’s harmless.

PennyLore

You’re right, the shape does look more like a lock than a key—perfect for a secret guild. I’ll pin it in my ledger and cross‑reference it with the 1600s trade‑guild symbols I’ve already catalogued. If it turns out to be harmless, I’ll add it to my archive; otherwise, I’ll keep it under lock and key.

Oblivion

Sounds like a solid plan—just remember, the safest lock is the one nobody can see. Keep a close eye on who’s looking and when. Good luck.

PennyLore

Thanks. I’ve already noted the symbol’s position and made a quick sketch. I’ll keep it in a drawer with the other unmarked coins and only let you see it if we’re sure it’s safe. No one else gets a peek.
