Jaroth

Jaroth will browse Paragon's looking for high quality paper and ink and a substitute quill. He will also look for a blank book, a compass and a watertight or waterproof coffer or chest. Additionally, he is looking for tasty provisions that will last a while aboard ship, 2 casks of water and 1 cask of very fine wine.

OOC: Happy Halloween!

Turning right onto Chandler's Street the party soon finds Paragon's. Entering the establishment they find it is a largish building with just a small store front but quickly branching out to cover almost the entire back area of the row of buildings. Ships goods of all types can be seen as well as most all of the standard adventruing and traveling equipment even in masterwork quality. The food sections is more the complete with such delicates as goose liver pate in silve tins, a selcetion of olive salads and olives packed in oil or birne or even pickled. Meats are either smoked, salted or tinned. An additional selction of bottled or dried vegetialbes and fruits are to be seen. Prticual items of interst are smoked duck stored in glass jars, smoked bear sausage, peppered beef.

A gentlemen greets the party and says :How may i help you good sirs.

Bertrand

Quickly making the rounds to scout out the goods, Bertrand turns to the gentleman. "A very nice selection you have here. I'd like to acquire some of these ducks and the bear sausages as well. Maybe some of the dried and bottled vegetables as well."

"Indeed," agrees Vadric, offering the proprieter a warm smile. "A variety of smoked and salted meats, some dried fruits and vegetables, and perhaps some breads and cheeses. We have a long sea voyage ahead of us, and our palates crave something beyond simple sailors' fare."

"This way my good sir's" the young clerk says and leads the Vadric and Bertrand over to the meat section. "Here are our smoked meats for long trips which is either smoked, slated or dried. Always you will find an exceptional selection of specialty hams and meats perseved in either glass or tin containers which will keep for considerable periods of time and all weathers" Movign along he points out various frutis and vegetables also perserved. "If i may, I would highly recommend some of the potted roast's and fowl. All you need to do is just put the clay pots in or on a heat source and let them heat. Then it is a simple task to just break the lid and serve. They are acutally quite reasonalbe. 5 silver for a beef roast, 3 silver for a pork and 3 silver for either duck or chicken." Leading them next to the chesse and bread section he shows them a collection of tinned ship's biscuts of various qualities (1sp,2sp, and 4 sp respectively) and to numerous types of cheeses dipped in heavy wax.

Anniston has every intention of being reserved, but continues to find things that catch his eye. Empty journal, pens, ink, food and drink of various sorts. I will not purchase any truely costly items (such as coffee!) but olives and potted meats sound too tasty to pass up. I imagine Anniston will spend around 500sp for a variety of items. "I presume that we can have our selections packed into a crate and delivered to the docks for transfer to the ship?"

OOC: I gather that we are not provisioning ourselves for the entire journey, but rather buying anything we might like in addition to the sailor's food that is available on board ship.

Following behind Bertrand and Vadric, Anniston begins to shop for himself. Soon he collects an amazing amout of food and items of top quality. The sales clerck helping him out suggest he purchase a food chest in which to store his goodies and after a recluatan pause Annistoin agrees and picks our a 4foo long, 3feet high and 3feet wide chest. The Chest itself is different in that it is made of solid cyprus and has a small layer or brass lining it. Into the chest are placed numerous small clay pots of goose and duck pate, small jars of smoked oysters and clams, 10 tins of small pork roasts, 5 or larger beef roasts, and jar upon jar of olives, pickels, lemon juice, jams, jellies, relishes etc. "There you are sir" the clerk says "I belive you shall have enough to last you a couple of months." In response to his inquiry he says "Yes sir I can send a cart whith you when you leave"

OCC: Yes you are just supplying yourself with the little extras that make shiplife more pleseant.

Jaroth speaks. "Pardon me, sir. I would also appreciate your delivering my supplies to the ship. Regarding food, provisions that are resistant to spoiling would be most appreciated. A watertight coffer. Two casks of fresh water and one of fine wine. A blank book, a compass, some high quality paper and a quill would do nicely as well. Can you accommodate me?"
