[SBLOCK]“Thanks again Lyri, guess we’ll be off to explore the city now...starting with the markets...I don’t know when we’ll see you again, but it’s been a pleasure and thanks for the lessons.”

*Zaeryn waits for Valyssa to say her own parting words before they leave the ship...heading off the docks arm in arm towards the large market area he saw from the air.*[/SBLOCK]

*Valyssa says her farewell to Alyria, giving her friend a hug, as she heads out to the market with Zaeryn.*

*They notice many different booths, selling all sorts of strange and wondrous things from different worlds.*

[SBLOCK]“Well my love, we’re definitely off on our own now...hmm, I wonder what types of bargains we might find.”

*Not hunting for any in particular at this point and unless Valyssa wants to look for something specific, they’ll just tour the markets looking for the sales and giveaways Alyria mentioned.*

OOC: I see some railroading ahead if you’re going to finish up before we have to close this thread. [/SBLOCK]

*Eventually, looking for a sale or giveaway, they spot a booth selling Spelljamming supplies, such as a portable hourglass to help tell time in Wildspace, among many other things. The shop has an interesting offer--every purchase has a chance to win a grand prize giveaway.*

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*Feeling it’s an offer too good to refuse, plus he does really need one, he inquires about the hourglass while he continues to look over the other merchandise...though he doubts anything else will be in his price range, assuming the hourglass even is.*

“Excuse me, how much is the portable hourglass and what’s the grand prize for the giveaway?”

OOC: And there’s the railroad...watch out for the train. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Well, the portable hourglass is 50 credits, and the grand prize is actually a choice between three prizes, but it changes occasionally based on our sponsors, so I'm not sure what it is today. Usually, they're pretty good, but of course, the odds of winning with any one particular purchase aren't that high."

[SBLOCK]“Credits? Sorry I’m new to Eldiz I don’t have any local money yet, I only have gems and precious coins...could you point me towards a moneychanger if you don’t accept any of those?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"I can accept gems. You're Altanian, right? Just give fifty Altanian gold pieces worth of gems, then."
[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“Yes I’m Altanian,” Zaeryn says digging around in his satchel, pulling out a cloth bag he takes 50 gp worth of gems out and hands them to the merchant before returning it to his satchel, “There you go, 50 gold pieces worth of gems.”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Thank you. Here is your hourglass then."

*He pulls out a fine-looking sand-filled hourglass, as well as a large jar containing a variety of colourful balls, with a small slot at the bottom to remove them.*

"Here, then, take a ball from the slot and see if you've won."
