[QUOTE="mfloyd3, post: 5974982, member: 23867"] Iago strolled into the Mystic Pearl, making his way first to the section of arms and armor. When he had begun his career as an adventurer, he had considered himself an intellectual, one who would assist his fellows more with his alchemical creations and knowledge. But events had taught him he must be prepared to fight on the front lines, should it come to it. He found a chain shirt that he thought might fit, and a battered but high quality falchion he hoped would serve. He tried on the mail, and was delighted with the fit. At a nod from the weaponsmith, he faced a practice dummy and swung the falchion in a powerful arc. A wooden arm fell to the floor. As the tired-looking dwarf resignedly picked up the arm and began reattaching it with leather straps, Iago concluded he had found the weapon he sought. Now he began looking for one of the magic rucksacks he had heard of. But the ancient elven leatherworker at the stall told her she had none. She produced instead a set of leather straps instead and insisted Iago try them on. He was astonished at how much weight he could carry, lifting her entire display stand with ease (to her bemusement). The half-orc fumbled through the bargaining, eventually buying the sack. Now came the moment Iago had been dreading. He made his way to the alchemist's annex. The pungent smells and raucous, jargon-riddled bargaining were familiar to him. And he was familiar to them. A number of heads turned as he entered. Conversations became more hushed in his wake. Those like Iago who had been dismissed by the alchemists were not supposed to return. But there were no actual laws against it. Poker-faced, the half-orc made his way over to one of the tables and examined a scroll. [COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]"I would like to purchase this,"[/COLOR] he said. The gnome behind the counter was about to object, when Iago took out a small pouch and opened it. He laid the gullet of the slain dragon before the alchemist. [COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]"In trade."[/COLOR] There was amazement around the room. Everyone recognized what he held. Iago began bargaining with the gnome for additional scrolls that would make up the cost of this rare treasure. Bargaining ensued. Iago would later realize how shrewdly the gnome had maneuvered him, selling him the scroll that would let him learn to make use of potions without consuming them, and then selling him potions rather than the additional scrolls he had requested. But in the end, Iago walked away, his pockets much lighter but his mood well improved. He felt well-prepared for future expeditions. [ooc]Rolled for and obtained the following items: +1 Falchion +1 Chain Shirt Scroll, Alchemical Allocation Scroll: Barkskin Scroll: Endure Elements Potion: Bull's Strength Potion: Spider Climb Potion: Shield of Faith Buying the following items already in stock: Muleback Cords Silversheen Wand of Comprehend Languages (was in stock, did not notice, rolled anyway) Potion: Rope Trick Taking the following from "Scourge of the Howling Horde" treasure list: Potion: Cure Moderate Wounds Wand of Cure Light Wounds w/2 charges [/ooc] [/QUOTE]
