[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5972201, member: 2710"] [b]Ru Brike, human ninja[/b] A stylish young man with the swarthy coloring of the Rhat'matani enters the Pearl, a noticeably heavy bag full of coin in tow. He smiles rakishly, plunking the sack on the counter. [color=royalblue]"Now, let's see what new toys we can find to spend my mostly not-ill-gotten gains."[/color] [color=royalblue]"I think it's about time I managed some metal protection,"[/color] he says, wandering in among the armors, [color=royalblue]"but I hate to be dragged down."[/color] [color=yellow]"You'll want something in mithral, then,"[/color] says the shopkeeper, leading the young man to some shinier chain shirts. He hesitates. [color=royalblue]"All that gleaming, though, seems like it might attract attention when I don't want it. Not that I would be up to no good, mind you, but sometimes a body just doesn't want the stares ... oh, this!"[/color] From the assortment, Ru's eye is drawn to a mithral which has been treated to rob it of its shine, replaced with a matte black. He grins widely. [color=royalblue]"Perfect. Now for cloaks. A few friends of mine have something that helps a body's chances fending off various nasty effects..."[/color] The Rhat'matani's luck holds, as he finds a magical cloak in his preferred black, as well. [color=royalblue]"Alrighty, then, over there. I don't have the coin for that magic bag you've got in stock, but that one, there, with all the accoutrements? Balances a body better, doesn't it? Let's trade in what I have for that."[/color] Ru takes the time to admire himself after re-equipping, frowning a moment as he assesses, then ultimately giving himself a wink in the mirror to show his approval. He hoists his new backpack on, takes a step toward exiting, then turns back with a sly look in his eye and saunters close to the shopkeeper. [color=royalblue]"Now, this might not get me in someplace not so well traveled, would it?"[/color] he says, voice pitched low. He shakes the shopkeeper's hand, a simple gesture which quickly turns into a complex series of hand positions. The keeper's eyes widen a moment, and--looking furtively about to make sure there are no other customers about--leads Ru through a dark curtain in the back. Several exotic creatures line the back wall. Some alive, though the lethargy of most makes it clear they've been sedated to some degree. Others are preserved in brackish liquids. Exotic plants hang, drying, above a workshop table, and several sizes of protective gear line the near wall, one of which the shopkeep dons. He offers Ru another set, but the Owl shakes his head. [color=royalblue]"I've got a knack for avoiding the trouble this stuff brings,"[/color] he says by way of explanation. Strolling along the shelves, he examines several obliquely-labeled vials until he finds one with a pale mucilaginous substance. He glances to the large stinger pinned to the far wall, then nods. [color=royablue]"This one,"[/color] he decides, dropping the vial into his belt pouch. [color=royalblue]"Always easier to hit something that moves slower. I assume you use the standard rates?"[/color] Ru produces a handful of gold and a few platinum pieces in response to the shopkeeper's nod. Finally satisfied, then, the Rhat'matani exits the Pearl with no further fanfare. [ooc]Selling: Backpack (2 gp) Leather armor (10 gp) Buying: Mithral Chain Shirt (1100) Cloak of Resistance +1 (1000) MW Backpack (50) Giant Wasp Poison (210 gp) Total spent: 2348 gp[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
