Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery, Part II

[Bront]

"Thank you very much. I'm sure you won't have any problems selling these." Vasha hugs the sales woman and heads off to explore some more.

Eventualy she makes her way over to the Arcane ward, where she looks around for spells that she's not seen before (IE, anyone selling non-standard spells is included), as well as perhaps a few potions or runes.

*Vasha looks around the Arcane Ward and finds that the goods here aren't quite as accessible as in the Grand Bazaar--she has to look for specialty shoppes and then browse their wares, so it isn't as easy to find that for whic she is looking. She sees signs for wondrous magic, marvelous elixirs, runecovered scrolls, magical services, and more. Peeking inside a few of the shops, she finds that there is a scroll shop run by an Altanian that has all sorts of unusual spell scrolls, including one spell that makes swimming become second nature that would help Vasha gain the same edge as those Naiads who embrace their Nymph nature and become aquatic.*

"That's an interesting spell there," Vasha says to the shop keeper. "Is it dificult to learn or cast?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, it's not exactly easy to learn, but you look like an experienced mage, so I'm sure you can handle it. Once you learn it, it's a snap to cast, of course, though true neophytes sometimes find it too complex to master."

 

[Bront]

"Interesting. How much for a scroll?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Normally 500 credits, milady, but for you, I'll mark it down to 400."

 

[Bront]

"Hmm, that's tempting... what other unusual spells do you have?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I have a quite a few--for instance an Enchantment spell that compels an opponent to fight in a nonlethal manner for a short while."

 

[Bront]

"Well, that sounds interesting, but I'd rather not fight at all..."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, I imagined the other one would be more interesting for you...I have a Divination spell to determine the racial bloodline of a person."
