The Psionicle, Part XI

Syld, Animus

"I seriously don't have that much gold. Seems I'll have to look for something else."

The elf raises an eyebrow, and considers you for a moment as you turn your back. "Perhaps... an exchange, instead? I'm afraid I can't lower the price for either too much, profit must be found somewhere... perhaps seven-thousand for the crystal and three-hundred for the wand, at best. But, if those are still too high for you, I can certainly trade them for other items of a psionic persuasion, if you have anything of interest."

Syld - your detect psionics reveals much the same as it did before, though Animus' glowing near you makes it slightly difficult to make some of them out.

Syld turns slowly to face the merchant again.
"Now that you mention it, I do have something I have no use currently... It is a powerstone holding the power to read minds, blast a person with telekinetic energy, and to see or hear a far-off place."
 

Ok Jansson, I'm looking for 3 potions of to increase my size. I've used some before and they're superb if I might say. Potions of Enlarge Person they are called, like the spell if I recall correctly. The other things I'm looking for are a couple of enchanted arrows and some tangle foot bags.

Ruth goes out to look for these Items across the Bazaar and maybe as well for some nice new items she hadn't thought of before but which might strike her interest. (This includes exotic gems, minerals and metals. Especially metals)

The elf considers for a moment. "Do you have any notion of what it is worth?" He asks. "It sounds quite interesting... perhaps that for the wand?"

You wander around the bazaar, taking a look at what each of the merchants has to offer.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to how the vendors have arrayed themselves, making finding something specific rather difficult. However, after a few minutes of browsing, you manage to find what you're looking for - a vendor has a rack of potions on display, each clearly labelled. Two dark brown potions, entitled Enlarge Humanoid, are seated next to each other.

The merchant - a halfling with a pair of spectacles perched neatly on the end of his nose - notices you looking at the potions. "Those are two-hundred gold apiece." He says, nodding. "Magic items don't come cheap here in Kahasal."
 

"I haven't had it appraised by an expert, but I'd say it's easily worth the 'wand'. It's more powerful than a regular powerstone with these abilities."
Syld can't but mentally chuckle at the merchant speaking of a dorje as a wand. Ignorant fool.
 


Syld hands the jet black powerstone to the merchant.
I sure hope I wasn't cheated out of too much gold, Syld thinks to himself as he places the dorje next to the two he already has in his belt pouch.
 

Animus examines the area, once again watching his back. He looks for some place to duck out into for a moment to contemplate what to do next... "I must find out how they all follow us... or I must find some way to hide the items auras..."
 

Jansson walks up to Syld, watching Animus nervously move around the market place.

"Is it just me, or is he acting rather oddly?" He asks Syld. "That is, more oddly than normal...

"You've made a trade, I see." Jansson nods to the dorje as Syld places it into his belt pouch. "Anything interesting?"
 

Syld

The merchant takes the stone, inspects it closely for a moment, then sets it gently in the wagon.

"Is there anything else I have that interests you, that you'd be willing to trade for?" The elf asks.

A small alleyway between two of the merchant buildings on the edge of the square suits your purposes quite well. Dark, uninhabited, and mainly unnoticeable.
