Maybe Bring It Down a Bit More, My Friends

The Silver Consortium has not been idle during the crisis. Gerald Wilkerson leads an effort that includes not only Countess Carita Darkwater, but Rook Champagne, Crown Minister of Coin as well as head of the Silver Consortium itself. Together with Evangeline Whisper, who does what only a member of the Whisper House can do when it comes to convincing people to not only do the right thing, but to believe it was their own idea, and Sydney, a Champion and brawler from the Lowers known throughout Arx for her fists, who provides a considerable amount of security all on her own, they manage to convince nearly every remaining merchant in the city to lower prices on staple goods back to a reasonable level.
There's a brief rash of burglaries and pickpocketing that occurs to the stubborn holdouts, as it seems some others are also interested in convincing price gougers to be a little more generous.
