I'll check next door for that... hmm..."She signals to another woman, and the two whisper for a second, before the second woman hustles through a door to head into the forge next door.  The first woman throws a glance back to Ari, her eyes stopping slightly around waist level, then quickly moves through a curtain in the back.  A minute later she comes out with an amulet, two vials with silvery liquid swirling within it, and a belt carrier for potions.  "We have these items in stock.  The amulet will harden your skin considerably, the carrier is of high quality, and the two vials are of silversheen... you aren't the first person to inquire or purchase this item in the last few days.  Several templars have done so as well."  She smiles at the monster hunter and leans forward slightly.  "We do not have this resistance item in vest form, however.  We do have a cloak that accomplishes what you intend... but if you wanted a vest, that would take a few days to design and create.  Would you like to do that, or is the cloak fine?  It's of very fine quality.  And the color matches your tunic and would hang very well over your broad shoulders, if I might say."  She again smiles at Ari and leans forward even more, and he notices how she keeps trying to highlight and emphasize a certain part of her own body that sits within her blouse.A minute or so later, the second woman returns and holds a silent conference with the blonde woman.  A few nods, and then the blonde comes back to the monster hunter.  "Well, I have good news and bad news.  Good news is that our armourer next door CAN forge and meld some high-quality spikes into your chain shirt.  It IS magical, correct?"  Her lips purse ever so slightly and her eyes casually run over Ari's well-muscled form once more.  "The bad news is that we do not have any cold iron in stock.  Not much call for it in New Galifar... fey creatures wouldn't last five minutes in the jungles around here... not with all the lizardfolk tribes and Rhashaak living out there.  Would you like the spikes forged regardless?  That would take about two days, and you'd need to leave your armor here until then.  Cost of everything-- amulet, vials, carrier, cloak, spikes of masterwork quality... would run you about... 4200.  If you wanted a vest made instead of a cloak, that would bring it up to 4300." </blockquote>
