"A gold royal?" Anniston says to the bookseller with dismay, "I am on a pilgrimage seeking enlightenment and I am willing to pay a fair price, but a gold royal seems a high price to pay. I humbly beg you to come down in your price for a fellow sojourner of the Light. I am happy to pay 60 silver pennies for these three books and in addition during my long sea voyage I will pray every day that the Light grant you health and good fortune."
OOC: spend some time and use diplomacy to attempt to negotiate a better deal: 40 (natural 20)

Jaroth
"Yes i have read several of his works, very poplar author some 150 years ago or so....that i when most of his books were written....some of course a copied and badly at that. I think you will find these books to be truer copies of the originals." Pointing to Annisoton he says "Ask your friend their, he should know,,,Frazier was employed by the church after all"

Botched the religion roll for a total of 8
"Of course I've heard of the Bishop Beatrice. That's the only reason I'm still discussing the purchase of this copy-of-a-copy. I'll give you the 80 silver pennies for all three if you swear on your honor you will give 20 silver pennies to the church on this comming day of the Sun when you receive the sacrament of Illumination"

Finnian collects his materials and comes out front where the others are calculating their purchases.
"Anniston, if you are truly short of funds, I believe I can cover some of the cost provided you would let me study the tomes when you are not during the rest of our voyage. That is the unfortunate thing about scholarship. It is a rather expensive hobby.
"It is unfortunate that you are closing, Master Calon. You have a wonderful collection here. I could get lost in exploring it until it was time to reboard the ship if you would let me."

Addressing Anniston, Jaroth says "Perhaps we can discuss Frazier and his works over dinner, Anniston. If you would join me, we can obtain provisioning from Paragon's shop and then have ourselves a quaint repast. What do you say?"
Addressing Finnian, Jaroth says, "Perhaps you would join us?"

"Well, since I can't stay here, I would enjoy accompanying you. Then we may continue to discuss the merits of the information we've found here."
Dracomeander said:
As we leave, Jaroth whispers to Finnian, "I can't help my curiosity. While I was sitting at the table in that back room, I sensed a strong magical presence in or behind the northern wall of that small room. The boy is picking up something valuable from Calon, so valuable that Calon has to close his store to conduct the transaction. Something magical would certainly fall under the description of valuable. Ordinarily, I wouldn't involve myself in such affairs, but if the boy is some servant to someone on our ship and we will be traveling with said person for quite some time, I would be very interested in knowing who it is that maintains this boy servant and commands the resources to purchase items of magical potency, if it is indeed true that the magical signature I felt in the shop is the source of the transaction between the boy and Calon."
Jaroth pauses for a moment and whispers again. "I have the means to allow us to eavesdrop on the transaction, but it would entail a fair amount of risk..."

"I will be with you shortly, Jaroth, as soon as I have finished my transaction with the honorable shop master."
"Thank you, Finnian, for your offer, I will certainly bear your kindness in mind in the future. But I would not ask you to pay for something that I am happy to offer for free."
Turning back to the shop keeper, "It seems that you are in a hurry to finish your other business so perhaps we must conclude our enjoyable conversation. Do we have a deal?" Anniston carefully counts out 80 silver pennies and holds them out to the book seller.

"Thank you for your patronage sir, rest assured i shall tith accordingly next Light's Day" The bookseller says as he places the silver pennies in his desk.
Finnian
"Sorry to rush you good sir but it is close to closing and I must tidy up the shop and the hurry home. I do appreciate your patronage" the bookeseller says. "Perhaps on you next visit we can allow for more time or you could perhaps arrive earlier in the day"
