B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[kinem]

"Very well, and you? I am Koro. From the looks of it, you are a group of wealthy adventurers who just arrived in town, yes? Perhaps you are in the market for a dagger. Daggers start at two gold apiece, but surely you want something more impressive? Perhaps a jeweled hilt? For you, as a welcoming gesture, just fifty gold."

Koro produces a fancy dagger and draws it. Small gemstones are set into the silvery hilt, which sports a dragon design.

There are a number of daggers behind the counter of various styles. None show obvious rust or deformation. Some are small, no doubt meant for a halfling or gnome. A few are punching daggers, with the blade attached to a horizontal handle that projects out from a fist when held.

ooc: A closer look would be required to tell for sure what the quality is, but it appears average.

Caridoc looked around the shop while waiting his turn to be served, paying particular attention to any bludgeoning weapons that may be on display. Once its his turn, he asks the shopkeeper for a small dagger that is suitable for his small stature. "And mind you none of this expensive jeweled stuff. I personally prefer a starknife but the watch insist that I can only carry a dagger. So the cheaper the better. Also, Do I get a discount for its small size.

Caridoc will buy a single standard (2gp) dagger.

 

[kinem]

Koro shows Caridoc a small dagger. It is plain and looks to be of average quality.

"Two gold. It requires less metal, true, but more precise workmanship."

When the gnome hands over the gold, the man throws in a small sheath.

"Very well, and you? I am Koro. From the looks of it, you are a group of wealthy adventurers who just arrived in town, yes? Perhaps you are in the market for a dagger. Daggers start at two gold apiece, but surely you want something more impressive? Perhaps a jeweled hilt? For you, as a welcoming gesture, just fifty gold."

Koro produces a fancy dagger and draws it. Small gemstones are set into the silvery hilt, which sports a dragon design.

"Lovely, indeed," the bard says with a smile. "But I have to admit I'd be afraid my only means of defense would be the one thing pickpockets would most quickly target. No, I think I'll stick with the utilitarian model, thank you."

Caridoc notices a few maces (one small) and saps on the back wall.

"As you wish" Koro tells Berek "but keep it in mind. The time may come when you wish to appear rich, to impress merchants or the ladies, and a fine looking weapon can often set a man apart, you know."

"Or indeed, it can be a perfect accessory for a fine lady" he adds to the elven lady.

He hands the bard a plain dagger, a larger version of Caridoc's model, with a sheath. It seems of average quality. "Two gold."

"They don't bind your magic, do they? Use a spell to prevent you from using YOUR weapon, do they? Why should I be treated differently just because my weapon is visible? Besides, the guards specifically excluded daggers... which means a great deal of people likely carry them concealed... I'd rather be prepared, no?" Kynar retorts, a faint grin sliding across his face as he looked at the woman before he turns away again and follows Caridoc and the others towards the weapons shop.

"Spoken with the same lack of intelligence I've come to expect from the typical swordsman," says Celythia quietly, but just loud enough for Kynar to hear as he turns away and enters the weapon's shop.

She follows along with the others, but is little impressed by the display of weapons. Her own dagger would serve her well enough should she need to use it.

 

[ghostcat]

Caridoc straps on his new dagger in plain sight. The idea is to show that while complying with the local law he is still armed and, although small, dangerous. After a few moments though, he decides that having an hold out would be prudent and buys a second dagger, along with a leg sheath.

 

[kinem]

Barek and Caridoc buy their daggers. "Anything else?" Koro inquires.

The large, black dog lays down in a corner and begins wagging his tail.

ooc: What do you guys want to do next? It is early evening.

 

[Theroc]

Kynar picks up a dagger, inspecting it for quality before deciding whether or not to make a purchase, if the quality is average or better, he'll make a purchase.

 

[Rhun]

"Master Koro," says Celythia, "We are only just arrived in the city...perhaps you could recommend a nice inn where we could find accommodation? Someplace clean?"
