OOC: Sorry, misclicked and posted that last one before I was finished.

"I have aboard an excellent collection of cheeses from the Western Reach, 2 dozen silver plated shields that are enamaled with hunting scenes, a variety of wine and spirits, some wooden masks hand carved in the border isles, a selection of pearls brought back from the pearl reefs by a recent expedition including some of the finest black pearls i've seen in years." He pauses for breath and takes another drink of wine. He adopts a more conspiritoral tone, "I have just accepted some beautifully illuminated books of tasteful erotica."

OOC: Hey things are moving in BO's greyhawk game. Get the new George up in the Rogues' Gallery and join the posting.

"They all sound very interesting...how much for the shields"

OCC: send me the links to BO's game please i have been waiting

 

[Scotley]

"Ah the shields, while highly decorative, they are not mere show pieces but fully functional intruments of war in the finest (masterwork) quality. A true collector would accept nothing less. I would be willing to part with them for 1150 each."

OOC: I see you didn't post to the greyhawk game yet, just in case you have the wrong thread here's the proper link

"They sound very nice, perhaps we can deal on them and the pearls. Please do tell me about them"

"I can do more than tell you about them," he says looking around conspiritorially. He draws out a small bag attached to a stout watch chain within his coat. Releasing the cunning clasp he passes over the little blue bag of some some soft but stout material. Within the bag is a chain. "It isn't really a proper setting, just something to hold the stones for safety." The chain is light but clearly very strong. On its lenght are 6 unusually large black pearls of a beautiful luster. "I have quite a number of lesser pearls, but those my dear Captain are worthy of a place among the Imperial Crown Jewels." Michael feels a sense of coolness come over him in the warm stuffy resturant as he handles these fine stones. They carry within a sense of peace that is hard to nail down. The calmness of an uninhabited white beach at sunset with the waves gently lapping over one is the best comparison he can make. A quick extention of his warlock powers reveals no magic as he understands it within the stones. Perhaps the perfection of these stones somehow touches on the true song. They might make excellent vessels for enchantment.

OOC: Michael's sense motive check earlier suggests that the halfling wants to make a profit, but that he is also concerned about his reputation as having the best and most difficult to obtain goods.

Looking at the pearls with great interst, Michael will comment "And how much for these pears and the lesser ones"

 

[Scotley]

"Black pearls are a well known quantity and in most markets I could expect 3000 gp for 6 normal ones, but I truely believe that these are worth 3 times that. The lesser pearls are mostly pink and I will sell you a hundred and seven for 10,000 gp. Of the lusturous pure white ones I have only 25, but will let you have the lot for 2800 gp."

Thinking over the offer Michael says "So roughly 20,000 gp for the pearls and another 20 for the shields.....what say you to four boxes of the ultra select and 500 of the base for the items"

OOC: Your figures are nearly 10k off the prieces he stated. There are 24 shields.

"Sir, your goods are first rate, but I fear your math is shoddy. I could not go quite so low."
