Thorne guesses her true nature and she makes an offer that would turn the party into murder hobos.
Alandri works in the magic shop and spend considerable time reading the various tomes found there. Not all of these are of a magical nature. Many are to satisfy her thirst for clever wordplay.
Have you tried haggling with her?
Oh, did I mention she loves riddles at various times she posed the following to you:
In lands of magic, I once roamed free,
A riddle-master, wise and full of glee.
But now, I labor by his decree,
By a wizard's will, my fate's the key.
To break this spell, then seek the clue,
Unravel the riddle, find what's true.
Release me from the wizard's stew,
And in your debt, I'll grant what's due.
With wings once spread, I soared on high,
Now chained to ground, I can only sigh.
My mind is sharp, my spirit won't die,
But hagglers come and my soul does cry.
I guard the path with riddles untold,
A creature of riddles, both fierce and bold.
With a lion's body and a woman's head,
My words can bring life or death instead.
