Heroica RPG - Quest#19: Let's Start a Riot

[UsernameMDM]

Something about the baby dragon caught Hoke's attention.

Hoke uses his Diplomacy Skill.

"Good merchant, would you trade the baby dragon for this rare hollow blade dagger? I have never seen it for sale save once. I am open to any counter off you may propose. I may perhaps purchase a stone or two, depending on the deal for the baby dragon. Do the stones work on shields?"

"Do you know nothing about haggling... Mr... Mr... mister?"

The vendor gives Felton a strange look.

"Well, I can't recall your name currently, but if you're going to haggle, start with a low offer and then work your way up."

Luckily Hoke's natural charm helps.

"I'm having a clearance sale, numb-brain, I can't buy more merchandise. I will, however, lower the price of the dragon to 175, but that's as low as I'm willing to go."

Hoke uses his diplomacy skill.

"Being an adventurous merchant, I am sure you can find a customer to pay top coin for this dagger, or are we the only customers you plan on seeing? How about a stone and the dragon for the dagger and 100 gold? You could perhaps sell the dagger to one of my quest mates."

Jess uses her new Grating Stone immediately after purchase on Blohdhurm.

[Peppermint_M]

Tesni looked at the wears and checked what she herself had, nothing was of use here to her, but if Hoke needed it she would loan him the money for the baby dragon, she held her tounge, maybe he could haggle it down further.

[Scorpiox]

"Uhh, what use would we have for a dragon?

Here would you like to buy my frying pan off me? I have no use for it, and if you do I'll buy a grating stone. So you are better off in the deal any way."

Edited December 19, 2011 by Scorpiox

[The Legonater]

I buy a grating stone for 75.

Is this at all re-usable?

[Zepher]

"I ain't hagglin', besides with that mighty nice knight over there. I can't buy anything. And no, once a grating stone is used, it's used!"

"Woah, deja vu," Jess said, looking around.

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke uses his diplomacy skill:

"The best I can do is 150. Wouldn't it be better to sell it to me than not at all? If you truly wish to keep the baby dragon, then you choose to keep a lighter coin pouch."

OOC - if the deal fails, I'll just take 2 stones.

[The Legonater]

I use the grinding stone on my whip

[Zepher]

The Baby Dragon turns to Skrall.

"Please tell your knightly friend thank you! I am from a far off land... it's been here for too long. Will you ask him to free me? I want to go home to my mother. Pleeeease. I am only four hundred years old, I shouldn't be away from home."

"You do realize that to go from WP 5 to 6 cost 60 gold and from 6 to 7 cost 70 gold?"

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke pats his shoulder for the baby dragon to perch.

"Here's a good fellow," Hoke says as he holds out some dried meat.

Hoke turns to Skrall.

"Does he have a name?"

[Waterbrick Down]

<I will do so, by the way, do you have a name that we may call you by?>

"Cronk ask fire lizard, fire lizard's name, but in meantime fire lizard grateful to Friend."

[Zepher]

"My name is different in the Dragon Tongue, but in your tongue I am called Vipera Callidus the Young. I come from the land of Dastan. I miss it terribly. Please allow me to return there. We dragons must be together, I hear of grave things in the world, and I must be home. We dragons can sense evil in the energy pools... much like the ether that you humanoids use, we are connected to the spiritual world. I can feel it here, but this is not the type of evil I must fight right now. Across the seas, in my home, there is a worse evil, and I must go there."

Edited December 20, 2011 by Zepher

[Waterbrick Down]

<My companions and I will do our best to return ya to yer homeland, Vipera Callidus the Young, but at the moment we are ourselves engaged in a fight with our own evil. If there is anyway you can aid us, we shall be grateful, while you may be young, I have heard that your kind is still stronger than we younger races can fathom. The knight is an honorable man and I am sure that he shall see you on your way, but we are in need of secrecy at the moment for our enemies are numerous and if we are to keep this evil from spreadin' to lands such as yer's then we must end it here.>

Turning to his companions Skrall addresses them, "Fire lizard is called Vipera Callidus the Young. He grateful for help and will speak much with party later. If Cronk's friends wish to buy anything else, then do so, otherwise Cronk think it wise to be on party's way."

[Zepher]

"Of course I will help you, do you think my people have no sense of honor?! I will give you the Gift of the Dragon. I believe I have enough fire in me to gift it to people in your party a total of four times. It will make anyone in the party both lucky and blessed. And luckily, it takes no time, as my race is quick. Of course, since this Knight bought me, he will be the one to decide when I use it."

<The Gift of the Dragon makes the hero lucky (2 rolls) and blessed (at the end of each round, there is a 50% chance of being healed). Furthermore, as Vipera Callidus is using it, the heroes need not use up a turn when using it, and it may be activited at any point. Like Vipera said, Hoke gets to pick when it is used.>

Seeing that her coin would not be needed to purchase he Dragon, Tesni inspected the wares further, "I would like to purchse a grating stone."

[Scorpiox]

"Thank ye Dragon, much appreatiated.

Would anyone mind lending me 13 gold? I will pay you back. If anyone does lend me the money, I'll buy a grating stone."

"Thank ye Dragon, much appreatiated.

"Sure, Guts, here you go," Jess says as she hands Haldor 13 gold.

[Scorpiox]

"Aww thanks Je- erm Lara. You're terribly nice to this worn-out old feeble sack of bones.

I love you, but I'm sorry for everything."

Haldor passes over his 62 gold and Jess' 13 gold in exchange for a grating stone. He uses it to smooth and work the heavy metal of his rod.

Haldor's rod is now joint with Cysgodian as the most powerful weapon in the wole game!

[Sisco]

"We'll talk about this later, Guts."

[Peppermint_M]

Having bought herself a grinding stone, Tesni worked on Cysgodion, bringing it's power to 11.

[The Legonater]

"You do realize that to go from WP 5 to 6 cost 60 gold and from 6 to 7 cost 70 gold?"

...A good point. I'll sharpen it later.
