Tales From The Old Bald One-Eyed Salty Red Dog Tavern! (chapter 1, now closed)

Berserker Bill stares at Desert with his hand wrapped around the top of a jar.

Suddenly he hangs his head low and puts the jar back, unopened. "Oh, yes. Of course. Well, perhaps I'll buy a jar--it does look tasty, doesn't it?"


"Yes, the Polymorph Self jam is exquisite. I take fresh lingonberries, butternut extract, pure beet sugar, and simmer it down, adding freshly pulped furfapple flesh. Absolutely outstanding." He smiles at you with the kind of smile that sends sane men scampering into trees.

Bill looks back without scampering. "Sounds great! I'll take that and the fire resistence jam. And throw in some masterwork, but non-magical, blueberry preserves."

Berserker Bill will pay for the jellies, then get in line with Ranti. On his turn he'll follow the Jam Dabbler's advice and buy a couple dozen biscuits, which he will offer with the blueberry preserves to the party while on the road.
 



"Er, yeah. Sorry, Dessert. I was mistaken, I thought the potions would come separately, but they're here all together in this one jar. Does anyone have a spoon?"

If no one has a spoon, Berserker Bill will buy one.
 

Desert checks his pockets than pats himself down than he starts looking around on the floor for one. After a few minutes he stands up and says, "n...n...n...no."

"The red jelly/jam concoction looks interesting, mayhaps we could get some back up supplies for the trail. Sweets would be nice, and a good loaf of elven forever bread would go well as well."
I look around for a loaf of elven forever bread, looks like a loaf of cold bread, but has a warm center for at least 10 days.
"Maybe even a few lottery loaves as they would be good for unconsidered nutrients, and I hear that they sometimes have been know to cause or cure poisonings as well.."
Iwander around looking at the jellies and jams and listening out the side for whatever Berzerker Bill might say or do. I then proceed to stand on line and buy a bunch of the breads and the jams, like 4 loaves and 5 jars.
"My beautiful proprieteress, I would like to partake of some of what you would consider your best wares. When sold by one as lovely as you they must be only of top quality or your hands would not deign to touch them."

"Mm-hmm, top quality, yes," she says, seemingly ignoring your charming manner completely. "Here you go: Three lottery loaves and one loaf of elven forever bread. Three gold, please." She collects your money and immediately helps the next customer.

You walk over to the Jam Dabbler to buy some of the jellies. "Yes, now, which ones were you interested in? The resistance to fire or the polymorph self?"

All told, you shell out four hundred gold for the jellies ("Quite a steal, you know," says the Jam Dabbler) and one gold for two dozen freshly baked buttermilk biscuits. The Jam Dabbler throws in a small wooden spoon (more of a slightly rounded tongue depressor, really) for free.
 

Berserker Bill gives a doubtful glower when the Jam Dabbler says "quite a steal."

Once Ranti is ready to go, Berserker Bill will say, "Off we go, then, companions!" and lead the way out the door and up the road heading north out of town.
