A bit startled by how quickly things are moving, Alistia gnaws her bottom lip in thought, and then nods, "Alright, yes, I'm with you." she says seriously.

"Alistia..." Enko looks at her with a very serious and concerned expression. "Please think about this carefully. You must gain the council's blessing on this. To do something like this without it would be madness. Look, just... promise me you'll speak with them alright. If we go together I'm sure we can work something out. I did... be...fore..." Enko stutters to a stop and stares off into space. Remembering things he's always tried not to think about. He pushes the memories back down into his mind, but in their stead he is once again made aware of that strange uncomfortable feeling he's been sensing since, well he can't remember. All day at least.
Ryon frowns at the merchant's description of the blade. The thought of the blade being made for killing alone, and the statement that it would cleave through Anakletos's bronze makes him uneasy. Then, he is struck with annother thought. "Say, you think it would be any good against those feathered bear things that come near the town sometimes? There've been deaths. If it can be useful against that, it might be worth a few choice furs.

"Well there, Miss, I 'spect we can do some business along those lines. 'Ere, lemme have a look." With your permission, the trader closely inspects a small handful of your seeds, looking for signs of rot, cracks in the shell, and other assorted indications of their quality. After a few moments he hands them back to you and nods. "Yeap, I reckon I can do that trade. Which seeds ya interested in?"Cleyra said:
[sblock=OOC]Both of you rolled low on your opposed diplomacy rolls, but you have a WAY higher diplomacy score than he does. You're able to get an even trade: one bag of his seeds for a more or less equal number of your seeds. Pick whichever kind(s) you want, but note that if you trade away too many of your seeds you may have trouble with the coming year's crops. Only the spring planting has been done at this point.[/sblock]
While you may not be so adept at haggling, your skins are high quality and the trader seems eager to accept them in exchange for a pair of knives. From his eagerness, you suspect you may have gotten the raw end of this deal.Thane said:
"Oh, aye, it'll slice through fur n' feathers like as they weren't there. Dunno as you'd wanna get so close to one of them as to use it on 'em, though. Still, it's your life; you want it, let me know. Those furs you got look real high quality."Ryon said:

"Aye, I can see that. How's about the blade for that fine fox pelt you have there?"Ryon said:
[sblock=OOC trade details]The trader's got the better end of this deal. You didn't list which trade goods you bought in your character sheet, so I made one up on the spot
Basically there's a 50% markup over the PHB price; you'll need to trade a little less than half of your trade goods to get the blade. You can still decline, but the trader's unlikely to lower his price much if at all. He's aware of the rare quality of the blade.[/sblock]

Cleyra decides to trade a little more than half of the total seed she carries with her. Most of this she offers in exchange for the trader's grain seeds, which she assumes are similar enough to her own grains to be a safe gamble, but she also trades for one of the bags of fruit seeds (apple) for her own experimentation. Overall, she is quite pleased with the outcome.
As she concludes the deal, Cleyra spots a young man who has apparently just done the same over at the table of metal implements. As he passes by her area, holding a blade of most bizarre hue, Cleyra approaches him, and, without thinking, lets her curiosity take over. "Excuse me, hi. What is that you've got there? I've never seen anything like it," she says, walking alongside Ryon through the crowd.

Alistia jumps on Enko's last stuttered sentence, "What did you do before?! You left and came back?! Then why can't you do it again? If you proposed it and said that you needed people to go with you, and then we said we'd go, wouldn't that work?"
She turns to Erin, "Erin, I think you're right - but Enko's right as well, we can't just run off; I've got responsibilities here. I think if we went about it properly then we might stand a chance."
