(YBA) Sharlea goes it Alone V

[Phoenix8008]

So you are saying I should have 2 Yen left? How is that? If I sold the original dragon fang dagger I would get 3 Yen for it(half of the 6 Yen I paid for it), making my previous total 24. Then buying a new one with +5 to Dragon (20 Yen), +1 to fang (2 yen) and +1 to dagger (2 Yen) would be a total of 24 Yen leaving me with nothing.

I must not have completely understood this:

I think we decided that if you wanted to add new styles to a weapon that was a simple expenditure but to increase an existing style cost the full price.

Since I already had +1 to Dragon as an existing style on the weapon, I thought it meant I would have to pay the full price of 20 Yen for the +5 bonus I wanted on it. That's what I based my calculations on of it costing me 20 Yen. Was that wrong somehow?


Sharlea realizes the thugs must be coming for her and quickly realizes that a fight here in the shop may be better than a fight in the crowded street. Unless there was a very close alley she could dart to before the thugs can reach her? If not, then she will stay here in the shop and let them come.

Graydooms arguement, and it makes some sense, is that each aspect of a eapon should be treated differently purchase wise, since you could argueably buy a weapon for fang, a second for dagger and a third for dragon. Thus with a Dragon Fang Dagger (+1/+1/+1) which you wish to upgrade to Dragon Fang Dagger (+5/+1/+1) you would simply sell the dragon part (getting 1 yen) and then buy the new dragon part (paying the 20 yen). Slightly confusing but logically sound.

The thugs burst into the shop and the shopkeeper dissapears behind the counter somewhere.

"A holy warrior!" says one of the thugs.

"Who would think one would be brave enough to enter the city of the Bard?" laughs another. There is a gasp from under the counter and Sharlea is sure the shopkeeper heard the comments.

The third thug just moves in to attack.

**************************************************

Sharlea stows her weapons and looks around at the carnage. Seeing a nice belt of weapon skill on a shelf, she grabs it with one hand while tossing one and a half Yen to the scared shop owner. "This plus those swords and armor should cover this belt. Thanks for your patience in this matter. Sorry about the mess."

Buckling on her new belt, she walks out through the door to see if the staring man is still there watching her. Feeling new power surge up within her, she feels more ready than ever to confront whatever may come.


-Gained Master of the Void epic power!

 

[Wicht]

The man is no longer watching her. Instead he is walking towards a couple of red-robed guards. Sharlea can not help but feel that he is going to inform on her.

As Sharlea watches this, she feels the presence of yet another unholy warrior and sees a thin man in black across the street. he apparently just noticed her at the same time. It seems that unholy warriors may not be all that uncommon in this small city.
