Clockwork, Steam & Sorcery - Episode 2

There was some rustling and creaking from the back, and then Jim emerged from the back room, toting a package bundled in brown sackcloth and wrapped in string. "Well, here you go young man," the storekeep said brightly, handing the package over to Forge. "That'll be a single gold crown."

Then he turned to Dorian. "So young man, does the dagger test to your satisfaction? It's magic, sure as I've said, and now maybe you'll believe Ol' Jim next time he tells you a tale?"

"And you, miss," he addresses Miriah, "Have you considered my offer? It's open to any of you, if you happen to be mages."

 

[ShortAssassin]

"Dorian has a good point. Maybe we should ask what price would be accepted for these items then decide from there"

 

[Seonaid]

Miriah shrugs and looks at the others. "You want to inquire about the price for these things?"

 

[Cepter]

"I would, but he asked for a mage's help. I just work metal," Dorian replied, seeming less sure of himself now that it was not his skills for the offering.

 

[ShortAssassin]

"Fair enough Dorian. You shouldn't sell yourself short though, it may be that we will need some metal work done." Buri reassured Dorian, giving him a small pat on the back.

"I say we find out the full details of what this transaction may entail. Even though we don't NEED any of this stuff, I can see it being useful to have, just in case"

(OOC: Out of town for the weekend, so not sure if I'll be able to post.)

 

[Seonaid]

Miriah takes the initiative and goes to speak with Jim. "What kinds of services would you request? We don't have anything in mind, but perhaps you had some ideas?"

 

[loxmyth]

Jim smiles pleasantly at Miriah as he walks over to a halfling-sized desk, crowded with ledgers of all sorts. "I'm always on the look out for new merchandise, miss. Wonders of the like you've had your eye on don't move quite so quick as, say, a love potion or healing salve. According to the records," he says, flipping through one of the ledgers and running a finger down a ratty page, "I could always use scrolls. First sphere scrolls I'll buy off you for 25 crowns a spell, while second sphere going rate is 150 crowns. Potions go for pretty much the same rate. Other odds and ends and charms are negotiable. What do y'think, miss?"

 

[Seonaid]

She frowns slightly in concentration. "Hm . . . What do you think, guys?" She turns to look at the others. "I could make some scrolls, I guess, though it would take time."

 

[ShortAssassin]

"Yes, we could do some scrolls. Between the two of us I'm sure we must have something he would be willing to buy. I say we give it a go. It'll be good practice for class too."
