Gholog

At the mention of "borrowing" the rope, Gholog will cover his ears and start singing until it's obvious no one is going to talk to him about it.

"La la la la la LA," he smiles at Seraphina.

(Gholog will wait patiently outside, hunkered down on the ground.)

Seraphina slowly walks up to the counter, looking around with wonder. "Hi there... I'm looking for some basic mining equipment. You know, rope and things like that. I'm afraid I don't know too much about mining, though, so I'm not sure what I'll need... could you tell me?"

 

[Jarval]

"What you'll need depends on what you plan on doing." The gnome states as she walks out from behind the counter. "We've got several types of rope, each of which is best suited to its own task. Do you need the rope for hauling, climbing, or something else?"

"We need it for climbing and utility porposes. I think something light, and strong would be the best. Although, as the lady said, we're no professionals."

 

[Jarval]

The gnome nods understandingly, and vanishes briefly into the back room of the shop. She comes out with a large bundle of rope, which she places on one of the few clear spots of floor.

"This is good rope, if you're climbing. It's Kremish silk, and damn strong for the weight. It's pricey, mind, but you can feel every gold's worth of value when you use it." She glances over at Kerrick and Seraphina for a moment, seemingly sizing them up. "To you, twelve gold for a fifty foot length. If you buy more, then perhaps we can give you a little discount."

pcolor=blue]BTW, Jarval, I just went and checked my equipment to see if I had any money... and I found that I do, indeed, have 50 feet of silk rope! [/color]

A thoughtful expression passes Seraphina's face, but is quickly gone.

"Twelve gold." She says, dropping her backpack to the floor. She then opens it, and starts rummaging through it. "Hmm... Kerrick, it would appear that I did have some rope, afterall." She holds it up for him to see. "However, I think that we could use some more..."

She counts out twelve gold, and hands it to the gnome. "Twelve gold for fifty feet of Kremish silk. More rope won't hurt." She says, smiling.

Gholog

Gholog continues to keep "a watch" outside the shop, whistling tunelessly occasionally and smiling amicably at any pedestrians.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Kerrick Jonez

"Yup! Never can have enough rope."

 

[Jarval]

The gnome takes Seraphina's gold, and quickly measures out fifty feet of the rope, cutting, tying and tarring the ends.

"My thanks for your custom." She nods to Seraphina as she passes her the rope, then again takes her seat behind the counter, returning her attention to her book.


Outside the shop, two passers-by cross the street to avoid the smiling half-orc, and on the opposite pavement, a small child and a dog sit staring at Gholog and Rufus with no little interest.

Kerrick Jonez

Having procured rope, Kerrick heads out the door. Pausing next to Gholog, "Shall we?" as he speaks Kerrick gestures down the road toward Tokket's place.
