Anniston
Thinking back, Anniston can only remember interacting with the young man during meal times or during the early evening hours when he takes a walk about the deck. Other than that the young man appears to say mainly in his cabin and apperars to have no connection with any of the other passangers.
Jaroth
Browing the bookshelf in the back jaroth stumbles across a title that catches his interst. It is entitled "Demons, Devils, Dwarves and Elves by Silas Frazier". Next to this volume is a smaller slender one entiled "My life as a Historian by Silas Frazier". For some reason this name seems very familar to Jaroth..Roll a Knowledge check either religon or nobility with a dc of 13.
Finnian
Paying his bill, Finnian takes his purchase and goes to the back room where he motions for his fellow passangers to remain silent. Taking a post by the doorwar, finnian settle in to evaesdrop.
For Finnian
[sblock]In hushed quiet tones Finnian catches part of the conversation. Young Man"I dont care how much it costs (garbled words) it must be done. Bookseller"Yes, as you say it will be done (grabled words) have to be after they leave (garbled words). Young Man"Okay I will come back (garbled words) dont cross me in the (garbled words) fire and torment (garbled words).[/sblock]

After a brief five minute or so conversation the Young man appears to have concluded his business and leaves the shop.

Bertrand and Vadric
Settling into their meal Bertarnd and Vadric help themeselves to the food before them. Unable to resist "Just one more bite" the two are quickly staring down at empty plates. About halfway thru the meal they notice the young man from the ship enter the resturante and sit down at a table by himself. Placing his order he settles in to partake of a plate of cheese and olives while awaiting his mea. The waitress comes back quickly to his table witha bottle of wine and pours it and laughter can be heard as she says "I think that can be arranged....we can deliver it when we close" The young man replies "How about adding a few wheels of each type of cheese and several jars of each of the olives"

Finnian turns to the others when the young man leaves the store. Quietly pitching his voice so it won't carry out front, he remarks to Anniston and Jaroth.
"Curious. It appears our interest in scholarship is interfering with the goodman's business. I couldn't catch everything, but he and the young man have business that apparently needs privacy to conclude. It sounded to be quite an expensive transaction and appeared that the young man was threatening the goodman with something if the transaction could not be completed.
"I wonder how long it will take the goodman to come back here to announce that he is closing? Especially since I announced to him and the young man that I was liable to be here for quite some time yet."

Bertrand
Bertrand nods, "I suspect that is a full time task indeed. Fortunately, horsebreeding isn't all that time consuming. I travel a lot and can get new stock all over. The animals do most of the work after all," he adds with a chuckle. Visibly beaming as he tries the coffee he asks, "Would you care for a cup?"
"I think the lad has the right of it. I might well acquire a few of these olives myself. It all depends on the coffee. I fear that I shall have to have some of that as well." When next the waitress returns Bertrand asks if they have any sweets for dessert and inquires about purchasing coffee or olives.

[OOC: Jaroth got a 6 on his Knowledge check. He has neither Knowledge Religion, nor Knowledge Nobility. He does have Knowledge, History, however. That check would have been an 18.]
He will browse through the two books briefly. Satisfied that they are of interest, Jaroth approaches the Goodman. "How much for these two and the other four tomes on geography and history?"

True to his predection the Bookseller enters the back rooom an announces that he will be closing in 30 minutes. However a quick glance tells you that it is around 5:45 pm so his request is not that unsual.
Jaroth
Beaming at Jaroth's selection he says "The small book by FRazis is 50 silverpieces, the large one is 70 silver pieces. As for the others I can let you have them for a price of 10 silver pieces. Does that sound fair to you"
Roll a general knowledge check then with a dc of 10.....
Bertrand
The waitress beems at the approval of the foods offered by the establishment then says "We may be able to spare a few jars of olives sir, but you would be better off going to the merchant with whom we conduct business "His name is Paragon and he can be found in Chandlers' Street close to the docks" Leaving she returns and states "I can let you have five gallong jars, two of the green, two of the black, and one of the kalamative for 15 silver pieces. I am sorry thouhg we do not have enought of the coffee to sell, you had best seek out old Benny in Chandlers Street @ Bennys Food Emporiume. That is where we purchased it"
She then continues "For Desert we have green apples baked in honey, fresh peaches covered with ginger cinamaon and and a very nice lemon ice."

[OOC: A spat of poor rolling for Jaroth. Knowledge Check result: 9. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=700194]
Jaroth's mouth opens slightly in surprise. Believing he must be missing the significance of these tomes, since Calon's prices did not otherwise seem exorbitant, and not wishing to call attention to his inadequacy, particularly after announcing that he is a scholar and especially among his new friends, Jaroth responds only, "Quite."
Digging out his pouch, he counts 130 silver pennies and hands them over to Goodman Calon. Returning his money pouch to an inside pocket of his robe, Jaroth asks,"Might you know where I could obtain a small waterproof chest or coffer, Goodman Calon?" Our journey is likely to be long, I wouldn't want to take any chances with these precious tomes. He smiles wanly.

Taking the money and placing it in a drawer the man replies. "Well most of the waterproof items and such will be found on Chandler's Street. A gentlemen by the Name of Paragon has a shop there and he deals almost exclusively with items and food stuffs for water travel and travel in the desert. Looking at the sun...they usually close around 830pm so you may not be to late to get to them today if you hurry"

"Ah, the fresh peaches for me, if you don't mind my dear," says Vadric to the young lady. Turning his attention back he Bertrand, he adds "I believe we would do well to visit not only this Paragon, but also this Benny as well. Good food will be hard to come by once we are back on the ship."
