OoC: (Manz) - If you find Dhes's sig, he has a link that I believe is updated. (You'll have to check this with him) The only things I see outdated on it at a quick glance is Chastity's possessions still on there, and the emeralds Therav has paid the group for bringing him to the fair.
~Verbatim's actions:
As Ayden saw the eager look in Therav's eyes, Ayden knew that Therav had only heard the mention of increased profits, but hoped that if he could allow Therav to start hearing Finder's melodies, the artisan would begin to see that there was much more to be gained than coin.
~The longest journey begins with one simple step...~
When his companions gather around the tent, Ayden looked out among the crowd and felt that while they were here, they could count on the roaming elvish guards to keep the peace.
"I do think it is safe for us to wander freely while we are here, as the elves have been keeping this area safe enough for the merchants to return here year after year. However, I would not bind our weapons in peace knots just yet, as looks could be deceiving."
Hearing Calenthang's resistance to the idea of milling among his elvish cousins, Ayden approached the warrior.
"While I am sure that Therav gained from your assistance with setting up the tent, I think that he could manage for an hour or so on his own.
Pointing to the tattered leather armor that he still wore, Ayden hoped the elf's resistance could be overcome with logic.
"Your armor is almost ruined from our past battles, and you know that is to be true. Who will hold the line for us should we encounter more spiders? I know that while Finder has made me stronger, I can not match your skill or strength. Let us look to see if they have something that can replace your worn armor, and if you still desire to return afterwards, then by all means do so."

OoC: To make shopping at the fair go a bit quicker I feel it's best to give the group the meta-stats for the fair, so you all can search through your DMG's,(if you have them
) and find what you like, if you're interested in magic items, and then go about seeing where you can find it. If you'd prefer to roleplay it out just tell me, or have your character go about speaking with the merchants inquiring about what's for sale.
The quick rundown is basically this: The fair has about 1,000 merchants selling things, with around 4,000 fairgoers wandering about at peak hours. There is a 10,000 gp limit on what you can find for sale here, but most stalls tend to only sell items 1,500 gp and under. Therefore finding anything relatively more expensive than that will be tougher and will not be discounted as much.
So with that said, because the food and drink is free, and the merchants need not pay taxes on what they buy or sell, anything 1,500 gp and under is 10% off the normal cost, or when sold will give you 10% more than usual as well. Anything over 1,500 gp will likewise be discounted 5%. Happy shopping

"You flatter me too much, friend Ayden," Calenthang says with hands raised in acquiescence.
(OOC: Fine! Buy your stupid monkey. We'll see where it gets you when you're being overrun by driders
...communist...)
(OOC: Fine! Buy your stupid monkey. We'll see where it gets you when you're being overrun by driders
...communist...)Teleri wanders over to the food tables and picks up some rather tasty tid-bits, wrapping them up in the flat-bread the local elves favored and some sort of fruit juice, before asking around for Master Shoban's tent. She is also on the look-out for any tents with Sehahin's symbol on it, wanting to restock her healing kit and other priestly things.
ooc:
if she can, she's going to inquire about purchasing some elixers of health and also see what sort of nasties are running about and prepare for them, healing wise anyway. She's also going to keep an ear out for any local rumors that might be interesting.
And maybe dunstand wants a flying monkey as a very weird aireal scout.

Wandering the fair Teleri see's and hears many things, nothing particularly of interest, mostly small talk between the fargoers and merchants bartering back and forth with customers in loud voices. As she goes about asking around for Shoban she spots a few clerical tents and herbal stalls, none displaying any symbol for a particular deity.
(OoC: A healer's kit is exhausted after 10 uses, so a new one would not be required at this time unless Teleri wants a backup, which will set her back 45 gp On "elixers of healing" though, I assume you mean the various cure * wounds potions? I checked the elixers in the DMG and didn't see it. Another book perhaps? If not, here are the prices for the cure potions:
Light - 45 gp
Moderate - 270 gp
Serious - 675 gp
It'd also be great if I could get a finalized list from you guys with everything you've decided to sell, then I'll get a total price for you.
)
After making any purchases she desires, Teleri is able to to get some information on the location of Shoban's stall from a kindly priestess. Navigating the grounds she finds a large tent, dominating the perimeter of the side, a young human boy, about 14 tending the stall out front, racks of weapons and armor set up for purchase. Within the tent, the rythmic sounds of hammer upon steel can be heard as the telltale signs of a smith hard at work.

gah, sorry maj, i'm typing away from home, so I don't have access to the DMG or my other various 'sources'. Once I get home, I'll pop a list of things that might be useful for us. I have so many splat-books now its funny
IC:
Teleri enters the stall and approaches the large human hammering away at what looks to be a new sword. "Hello, are you Master Shoban?" she asks politely.

The man hammers away at his work a few more times (A sword? Maybe, maybe not) before stopping, wiping his brow, and leaning his hammer against a wall nearby.
"Aye, I am Shoban," he says, regarding Teleri. Shoban appears to be in his late thirties, nearly bald, as whats left of his hair is either in wisps or matted down from sweat. A stocky, muscular build makes up the bulk of the man, a body that has seen many years of hard work and good food.
"Do you need something specially made? If not, you may purchase what you need from my apprentice, Talrus, outside. There is quite a selection, I'm sure you'll find what your looking for," he says, eyeing his hammer again, eager to be back to work.

Teleri looks startled. "Are you sure? During the journey through the forest, my companions and I met a young woman named Kayris who claimed to be your apprentice. While we were traveling, we were distracted by some rustling bushes. When we turned around, she was gone. Vanished." she said, concern in her voice. "Who was your other apprentice?" she asked curiously.
