[Sollir Furryfoot]

"My name is Rhiamon, and think nothing of it." The orc wraps his new found cloak around him and makes his way to the slave owner.

 

[Darkwolf]

"Rhiamon, I'll see you later tonight at the inn's tavern."

After getting his injuries treated, Khala tries to find a spot to sell the loot from the fight.

Brawn
Brawn excitedly follows the man's requests, and comes over to comply with the smelling of his wares.

"I'd be interested in your aromatic con-co-ctions."
Brawn struggles with the last word, straining it out carefully (deciding to drop the lizardman accent here)

The old man, in his squeeky voice starts to pitch, "Well, now, then, what's good for you is good for me, and I've got a lot here that's good for me, so what's good for you? I've got herbs of a lot of variety, but I assume your not looking for plain old herbs. I've got a lot of variety here."

The old man whips out a covered tray with some samples, he explains what everything on this sample tray does...

"Well, first off, we have these leaves from the wyssin plant, they are dried and rolled up like tobacco, then smoked. A lot of people say it makes you a lot stronger, but it hinders wisdom a tiny bit, I say the stuff makes me skittish, so I stay away from it unless I'm really stressed out."

"This is blue mushroom powder, you inhale the stuff, spellcasters like it a lot because it makes them feel more arcane, or what-not. I'm not sure about what it really does, it's also debilitating, and I stay away from the stuff."

"And that's red bog flower leaves, it gives you an incredible ability to focus your mind when fighting. People sometimes use it because it has no side effects, and it makes them able to better comprehend their enemies. They say it makes your mind cognate so fast that you see the enemy in slow motion. Good stuff, I use it before any process that I need to be careful about."

"Oh, and this last thing is called Stormgun, it's a relatively common plant, but it takes 7 years to process and distill, then it's turned into a cheese-like brick, eating it as an appetizer makes food really really good, because the cheese-stuff gets your mouth watering. It's good stuff, if your a chef or something, but I don't sell much, and it's hard to make too much of it. Good stuff I say."

The man also has a variety of different incense types, candles, and incense necklaces, some strange fruits, and a grand variety of ornamental religious bracelets. He seems a bit strange, as stated before, but he does seem honest in completeness.

Khala & Sollir
Khala: Khala gathers up the 3 kamas and the other cloak he was given and starts walking back to the temple district, stopping on the way to get his health restored.

Turning to the orc, "Thank you for your help back there, my friend. I look forward to the meeting tonight. By the way, you know my name, but I can't seem to recall yours. What is it?"

Rhiamon: "My name is Rhiamon, and think nothing of it." The orc wraps his new found cloak around him and makes his way to the slave owner.

Khala: "Rhiamon, I'll see you later tonight at the inn's tavern."

After getting his injuries treated, Khala tries to find a spot to sell the loot from the fight.

(So, just so I have this clear, your leaving the injured man?)

(OOC: Khala, if you wish to 'sell the loot', (and by the way, identify spells cost 100 gold to have cast, they take 10 minutes as far as I'm concerned in this setting, the same applies to casting the identify spell for yourself), then you can discover that the cloaks have a spell resistance of 13. Each of those is worth roughly 2000 gold pieces when sold to a hedge-wizard, a little more if you take the time and effort to wait for an adventurer or specialist magic-item trading merchant. If your willing to trade them for 2k a piece, just note that with me, otherwise your results will start off based on gather information, and then work from there.)

A Hedge wizard offers to buy all of your cloaks off you for 2000 gold, after you pay to have them identified by him. He says he'll cut the cost and just pay you 1950 for each cloak you have, no charge for the identifying.

Getting your injuries treated would cost roughly 40 gp, if you wish to have Khelon treat your wounds, then you can ignore that.

Brawn replies, obviously interested but unsure of the man, " How do I know these will work at all?
Are you a rep-u-table business-man in these parts?
I mean - have you been here awhile, with people's words to back up the claims you make on your products?

If there is some proof to your words, than I want to buy the wyssin plant and the red bog flower leaves.
How much are they?
(And what are those strange fruits? Let me smell those...)"

Brawn can cast Detect Magic, if it would be applicable here...

 

[Creamsteak]

(Detect Magic doesn't work on the herbs, however, the religious armbands all have faint magical auras about them.)

"You say you want to know my reputation? Well, I don't think I have much of one. I'm not exactly rich as you can see, this cart is my home, store, and workshop all in one. I know a few of my customers, theres a man by the name of Reginaldo that lives out of the Darkwaters pub in the slums, he's really regular. Rich too, I think, but his business is of ill repute. What I do is legal, because I'm not hurting anyone, but what he does hurts a lot of people."

"As for whether it works... well... you'd have to try it. How much you planning to buy? If you wanna buy a good amount, I'll let you try it yourself. If you want to ask someone... well... I've got a couple regular customers like I said."

"The Wyssin plant costs 6 gold pieces a smoke, a bit much, but if your poor you can always get plain old tobacco for one tenth that. It doesn't have the same strength, but I have some here. Just trying to make ends meat, ya know? The redflower leaves are out of people's price range mostly. I only have about four ingestable doses of it, and I'll cut some of the cost out if you buy more than one. A single bit's worth three hundred gold coins, any currency is fine with me, but if you buy more than one... well... I'll take a 3rd off the price for ya, if you have that kinda money."

"Those fruit? Right there? Heh... I just bought that off a traveler, he traded it for some of that mushroom powder. It's good tasting, I love it, real fresh. Sweetest candy fruit I've ever tasted. He says it comes from some tropical island populated by argonians, large ones he says, really far away, and the stuff stays fresh for years. I don't exactly believe that last part, but it could be tropical, it's really colorful afterall. I'll part with a piece if you buy anything off me, I'm nice like that, ya-see. If you want the whole sash... well... I just sold him 100 gold worth of the powder, and mark-up is normally double, but I'll part with it for what the powder was worth. Money's better than fruit-afterall."

(The man still seems completely honest.)

 

[Dalamar]

"I think it is best for us to go in, the Lady might be in trouble and there isn't time to get the guards."
Krindor fastens her shield and rest her hand on her sword's handle, ready to unseath it at a moments notice. She then moves onwards.

 

[Darkwolf]

Khala sells the cloaks, sells the 4 kama's for whatever he can get, pays the money to get healed, and then looks around for someone selling magical items, if they exist.
