Gnurl Whiskerling
"Just take me out there, please," says Gnurl to the gristled cabby. When he gets me out there, Gnurl hands him 2 gp and says, "Are you sure you can't wait for me? I may be awhile, a long while, but, if you wait, there will be two more shiny, new gold pieces in it for you. Can I count on you?"
OOC: Assuming the cabby is agreeable, or, really, even if he isn't, Gnurl will go in and have some conversation with a fellow wizard. Gnurl will begin by discussing astrology and magic theory, and if this guy acts like he knows what he's talking about, Gnurl will eventually get around to asking about what spells are available, prices, and possible trades (because Gnurl has some pretty valuable spells, too, you know).
OOC: I still need to get with my books and figure out what spells Gnurl is looking for! Hopefully, I'll know before tonight is over.
