Message: <blockquote data-quote="Friday" data-source="post: 5282413" data-attributes="member: 90051">In the Rusty Nail...Trixie giggles, characteristically, at Durzo's words.  "I thought so lover, should anyone ask then I'll set 'em straight" she whispers, then adds with a flourish "Come back soon, don't leave it so long this time"======In Coin Square...Having traded in weapons before, Durzo quickly finds usual 'fence' in the hubbub of Coin Square.  An old Rhivi tribesman, once a weaponsmith to the tribes on the plains before he was seduced by the lure of the city, named Crimp.  White hair braided with fetishes, lined and tanned skin and a grubby face with a toothy smile greet Durzo in stilted Daru."Good day youngster, you bring me trade?"On examining the weapons, Crimp whistles to himself and mutters an occasional word in the Rhivi tongue.  Though Durzo doesn't understand what he says, the surprise in the old man's tone is evident.  The old man's hands gently lift the weapons, wrapped in thick cloth, and replace them on the small table of his stall."Assassin blades, these" he says, then points at the slick blade of the long-knife, "Carefully made, poisoned too.  Lucky not to touch, this white paralt...venom of the spider"Crimp grins toothily at Durzo, and spreads his hands wide."I have buyer for all these, frightened nobles who don't want Malazans in their houses.  I can offer you cut of price, which will be high" he adds."You return later, I give you price for these young Durzo"OOC: Don't worry about it, this can all move as quickly or as slowly as we like - I'm happy for everyone to explore as much as they can as long as we don't get totally off track...and some of these diversions have significance anyway <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Durzo doesn't notice anything untoward in the market, other than the odd hawker screaming at urchin's stealing from their stalls and the general clamour of a crowd at the market.[sblock=Helicrates]In musing on your dream through the morning, it occurs to you that the figures in your dream bear a certain resemblance to someone...not immediately obvious to you at first, since said personages are not mortals..The woman, with her serene and beautiful face, would be an almost perfect match to the likenesses of the Queen of Dreams you've seen in your travels.  Though why the Goddess of Divinations chose to invade your dreams is a mystery.  More so when you think of her acquaintance, the figure wreathed in shadows.  Could that be Shadowthrone? King of High House Shadow...it's said that power draws power, power gets you noticed....what power do you have?[/sblock]</blockquote>
