Airwalkrr's Shatterscape IC (Cooperative Design-As-You-Go PBP)

[airwalkrr]

"You're looking for Kelper eh? Well, I suppose I can help you. Just be warned. He is a bit strange. Here is his address."

Marda fetches a piece of parchment and writes down the address, giving you directions on how to get there.

[sblock=OOC]Where will your group go first. If hafrogman speaks up soon I know there is something he probably wants to check on soon.[/sblock]

 

[GlassEye]

Though it has been years since Arden spent any time in the city she looks at the directions to find Kelper and those to Fhelid's shop and will first head off to whichever is closer. She tucks the folded paper into her sleeve and inclines her head to Marda.

"Thank you once again. And, ah..., how should we make contact with your suppliers?"

Once Arden gets the needed information, Kleb asks, "Mind if we take care of the equipment first? I don't want us to have to be carrying all of this around in case we run into another ambush."

 

[GlassEye]

Arden agrees with Kleb's desire to go to the arms dealer first so they will go there before heading to the Banker's district.

"Don't worry about that just yet," Marda says in reference to the suppliers. "Come and see me when you are ready to leave town and I will give you all the information you need."

Fhelid's Arms, Armor, and Exotic Weaponry is only a few blocks away as luck would have it. And a fantastic place it is. Swords, axes, hammers, maces, war pikes, polearms, shields, and armor of all kinds line the walls and even hang from ceilings, many you have never seen and a few you have never even heard of. There are a couple of other customers, and two salesmen, a stout halfing and a tall, slim man, wear red leather jerkins to indicate their status. A sign by the door states clearly in bold letters "ALL SALES FINAL." The halfling, who has shoulder-length red hair with bouncy curls and a flush complexion approaches you with a broad smile as you enter. "Be trading in today shall we?" he asks, clearly noting the armloads of armor and weapons you carry.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

"Yes, sir," Kleb says politely to the halfling. He helps place the great axe, two short swords, two suits of leather armor, and two bucklers on the counter.

I have a suit of scale mail armor to sell. Do either of you want to keep it for your characters? Barbarian has first dibs.

The halfling has a careful look over the equipment. He murmurs to himself as he does so. "Hmm, no, no, this is no good. Hmm, lessee. Err, this is bloodied," catching your eye, he lets out a tiny gasp and a smile, then says, "No need to worry, sir. Here at Fhelid's we ask no questions. Nothing but business. But unfortunately, this armor is hardly what I would call mint condition and the weapons are a bit banged up. I'll give you 45 Sols* for the whole lot. Final offer. Whadja say?"

[sblock=OOC*]In Narovan, the Sol is the gold currency, the Luna is the silver currency, the Drab is the copper currency, and the Celeste is the platinum currency. Narovian and Dardessian currency alike are accepted in the region. Currencies from outside the region are viewed with distrust and typically trade for 10% their value.[/sblock]

"Thank you, sir. That's a satisfactory price and I also appreciate your discretion in this matter," Kleb says as he gives the halfling an understanding nod. "Once we are done here can you point me to a merchant that I may be able to purchase a pack, rations, and rope from?"

OOC: I intend to split the gold and silver among the PCs. The 55 gp and 40 sp should split evenly among them as 11 gp and 8 sp.

The halfling delightedly shakes Kleb's hand to seal the deal, gathers up the merchandise, then carefully counts out 45 Sols, handing them over when he is finished. "A pleasure sir. And please feel free to browse the fine weaponry and armor we have available. I notice you carry an axe. Perhaps you might be interested in this little number," he says, guiding you over to a rack where an interesting type of polearm is displayed. Although it has a broad axe-head, there is also a very sharp spike at the end. "One of our more exotic treats," the halfling says, beaming, "the heavy poleaxe combines the versatility of an axe with the strength of a polearm. Useful for setting against a charge and striking your foes at a distance. Can be swung like an axe or thrust like a spear. A marvelous tool for the skilled warrior. And at 20 Sols, its an absolute steal!"[sblock=OOC]The heavy poleaxe is a medium-sized exotic weapon with reach, 2d6 damage, and a critical multiplier of x3. It can deal slashing or piercing damage, but not both at once. When a piercing attack is readied against a charge it does double damage.[/sblock]

 

[GlassEye]

Arden will wander around and idly look at the weapons and armor while Kleb bargains with the halfling. She has little interest in the items but also doesn't want to interfere with the haggling.
