The Four Lands - The Great North

Finnian finds himself looking for many of the same things that Jaroth is. He will pick out a sheaf of vellum, a couple of vials of ink, and pens then move on looking for beeswax and saddlesoap. He will also pick up a couple of the potted ducks, some brie, and a small wheel of provolone.

Moving up to the counter, Finnian notes the size of Anniston's order before asking for his final items.

"Excuse me, but I was wondering what sort of selection of teas you might have, and if you might have a small cask of brandy. I would also like a barrel of water."

"Yes a waterproof chest does seem like a good choice." He continues to browse picking some spices to enhance simple fare like beans, rice and dried meat. A wheel or two of good cheese, heavily waxed, some preserves or jam and some hard candy complete his shopping.
 

Vadric's purchases follow much the same trends as Anniston's, though in somewhat smaller amounts, and a cask of fortified wine as well. He too asks for them to be packed in one of the water-tight chests. Vadric then happily pays for his purchase, compliments Paragon on his excellent shop, and readies himself to leave.

[sblock=OOC]
Just let me know the total for my purchases. Vadric makes sure he gets enough to last the assummed 4 week journey, and maybe a week or two more.

Bertrand
Adding a similar waterproof chest to his purchase and winces at the price of his goods. The chest alone is 50 silverpieces and his epicureian tastes soon lead him to spend another 300 silver on assorted foodstuffs. The clerk complements him on his purchases, mostly of small seasonings, rubs, spices, jams, relishes, pastes etc to brighten up boring dried and or salted foods.

Jaroth
Jarothe easily finds several compases the most expensive model being 30 silver pieces, as well as numerous types of inks and blank books and loose paper. Foodstuff are easliy found and added to his list with a particulary nice selection of dried trail mixes heavy on fruits and nuts. Buying the available lot of them he also adds a nice selction of buffalo and beef jerkey.
The spirit of shopping overtaking him Jaroth soon finds his purse some 200 silver pieces lighter.

Finnian
Following the others lead Finnian soon finds himself with a chest and fine selction of foodstuffs. As the approach the tea section he finds himself capable of buying several decent herbal teas, a dark strong breakfeast tea, and a nice light afternoon tea. Finding his purse some 250 silver pieces lighter, Finnian decides he has spent enough.

Vadric
Completing his purchases, Vadric is handed a invoice for 200 silver pieces reflecting the goods he has purchased.

Making arrangements for their goods to be transported to the ship, the party set;s forth from Paragon's. At Bertrands insistance, they move further down the steet to an establishment called Benny's. Arriving just as they are about to close, Bertrand hurries inside.
 

Bertrand

Seeking out the storekeep, Bertrand says, "I had some wonderful coffee today and I am told you are the provider of such. Do you sell fresh roasted beans in sealed containers by any chance?"

The older women who is in the process of closing the shop, seems annoyed at first at the entrance of Bertrand and his party. When Bertrand stats asking about the purchase of coffee and such a noticeable smile crosses her face. "Yes indeed, we have the finest selection of coffees avaialbe anywhere in the United Provinces good sir. Specializing in of course the deset moutain coffee and even a coffee from the blue moutain in the wild lands."
Leading the group back to a heavy iron door she unlocks it and motions the group into a 15x30 room lined with iron plates. Heavy cyprus shelving can be seen along the peremiter of the room with the front of each shelving unit being sevured by an iron grate." The secent of coffee and spices is heavy in the room and after a brief moment the lady turns to the party after setting out 10 different containers."Here are our current choices" she says.
1.. A light roasted coffee with the hint of vanilla and ciniammon
2....A light roasted cofee with the hint of hazlenut
3....A mediume roasted cofee with the hint of spice
4....A medium roasted coffee (columbian)
5....A medium roasted coffee (Jamican blue moutain}
6. A dark roasted cofee with a hint of choclate
7....A dark roaste cofee (Sumatra)
8. a dark roasted cofee (Kona)
9. A mdeiume roasted coffee with pecan and cinnniamon aftertones
10 A light roasted cofee with a choclate blueberry taste

In addition there appears to be a whole host of teas and other spices.
 



Inhaling deeply, Bertrand points to the medium roast with the pecan and cinninmon aftertones. "I believe that is the one I had this afternoon. How much for a pound of freshly roasted beans?" Glancing briefly at the others he adds, "and the dark roasted cofee with a hint of chocolate?"
