Bricksandparts Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Atramor nods to the sailor, more respected than annoyed, fairly aware that it was a fair price. He threw a look to En Sabah Nur. "Whaddaya say, mate? I think it's a decent deal, but unless you wanna around the docks all day...." "Well we have us a week don't we? Alf think we go look around, see if we find any better deals and see if we can buy some stuff at fish-market. We come back and pay best price we find. What you think?" I mean, after all we do have to wait a week (in game time but that gives us time to do something.)
Masked Builder Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 "Well, I must admit that while 100 gold does seem expensive, it is probably a good deal." Alexis whispers to the group.
Jebediahs Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Nur rolls his eyes at the barbarian. "Aye, payment of 100 gold upon completion of mission sounds fine. Excuse me sir, I didn't catch your name. How shall we address you?"
JimBee Posted December 17, 2011 Author Posted December 17, 2011 Aye, I knew you'd come around. Name's Whales, Cap'n Whales, if you like. Ye might want ter stop at Miguel’s shop, he strikes a hard bargain but he sells the best loot for seafarin’ folk. Or we could set sail now. I leave it up ter ye to decide.
Bricksandparts Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 "Let's go check this guy's shop. may got 'somechin useful"
CMP Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 "Let's go check this guy's shop. may got 'somechin useful" "Don't make fun of the way we talk, barbarian," grumbles Atramor. "I myself have got nothin' to spend, but we may as well check it out."
Bricksandparts Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 "Don't make fun of the way we talk, barbarian," grumbles Atramor. "I myself have got nothin' to spend, but we may as well check it out." "I makins funs of it? Nah, I wash once a shea-dog, then I came to Eubric"
Jebediahs Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 "Haha a seafarin' barbarian with hopes of becoming a battle mage? A strange one you are, Alf. I'm interested in what type of loot a sailor carries with them. Let us proceed to Miguel's shop. I have no coin either but that well dressed cleric there looks rather affluent."
JimBee Posted December 17, 2011 Author Posted December 17, 2011 The shack that Captain Whales directed the party to appears to be closed. The owner doesn’t appear to be around. Suddenly, a thin, panicked-looking man comes bustling by, shoving past the heroes and quickly opening the shack. “Where is it, where is it, where is it?!” What will the party do?

Suddenly, a thin, panicked-looking man comes bustling by, shoving past the heroes and quickly opening the shack. “Where is it, where is it, where is it?!” What will the party do? "Have you lost something?"
CMP Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 "I makins funs of it? Nah, I wash once a shea-dog, then I came to Eubric" Atramor glares at Alf and slaps him on the back of the head. "I'm dead serious mate - knock it off." He then observes the strange-looking man worrying about...something. Somewhere. Somehow. "Where is what?"
JimBee Posted December 17, 2011 Author Posted December 17, 2011 "Oh, um, nothing, nothing at all. What are you doing here? Are you interested in buying something… Yes, uh hum, see, well, I’m out of stock, except for this lovely telescope, see?" He holds a gold telescope for the party to see. Allows the hero to see far. "Name’s Miguel by the way, though I’m afraid I’m in a bit of a hurry. Tell you what, special price just for you, I’ll give you this telescope for just 50 gold. That’s a discount of 20 gold, you’re lucky I’m in such a hurry. A bargain, a steal, I tell you, but hurry up and make a choice please. I’m in a hurry, see?" The heroes may buy the item, attempt to haggle for a better price, or leave.
Masked Builder Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Alexis turns to the group and says so only they can hear. "Um guys, I think he stole that I don't think buying it is a good idea."

The heroes may buy the item, attempt to haggle for a better price, or leave. "Er, a discount? You buy that for only 40 coins at the marketplace. What about 30 coins?" Alf motions the others to a corner and whispers "Alf think we follow him after this. We might be able get bargain, but we still should follow." "Oh, um, nothing, nothing at all. What are you doing here? Are you interested in buying something… Yes, uh hum, see, well, I’m out of stock, except for this lovely telescope, see?" He holds a gold telescope for the party to see.

JimBee Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 Will the party suggest 30 gold, as offered by Alf? He does not have the money to buy it.
CMP Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Atramor glances at his questmates. "I don't believe in fate or any of that, but it seems we've been given some luck - something tells me if we don't buy this, we'll regret it. But I don't have the money to pay for it, nor do I think anything terribly horrible will happen if we don't."
Masked Builder Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 "Well, I'll buy it if you guys would like me to. Though I'd like to sell it back to you when you do have the money. What do you think you guys?"
Quarryman Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 "Well, I'll buy it if you guys would like me to. Though I'd like to sell it back to you when you do have the money. What do you think you guys?" "I think we might be better off with it than without it, so if you're willing to pay for it we should buy it."
Sandy Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 The circumstances were starting to look even more off to Ellaria. "If you're in doubt, Alexis, then let me purchase the telescope for 30 gold. If we get a better look at it, we might deduce if it really is stolen property or not. I've learned in life that chances like this should not be just passed by." She then turns to the raggedy man and offers 30 gold for the telescope.
JimBee Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 "Ho hum, you losers take too long. 30 gold?! That's far too low. I'd be a fool to sell it for that much. But I am in a hurry... tell you what, if anyone asks, you didn't see me, okay? Here, take it." Miguel takes Ellaria's gold, quickly hands her the telescope, and hushes off again. Ellaria Arbour (played by Sandy) Level 12 Cleric Power: 22 Health: 20/20 Ether: 16/16 Gold: 52 Inventory: Ignis Fatuus (WP: 10, Fire), Potion, 2 Grand Potions, 2 Tonics, Grand Tonic, 2 Elixirs, 2 Remedies, 2 Phoenix Essences, Smelling Salts, Nostrum, 2 Smoke Bombs, 2 Fire Bombs, 2 Ice Bombs, 2 Lightning Bombs, 2 Water Bombs, 2 Holy Bombs, Bedroll, Pickaxe, Magic Compass, Telescope What will the party do next?
Bricksandparts Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Alf would like to quietly follow Miguel.
CMP Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 "I think there are more important things to be doin', Alf," suggests Atramor. "Under normal circumstances I would like to follow him too, but I don't think he's directly related to our current goal, which by my understanding, is somewhat on the...er, sundial? Anyway, I think he's just down on his luck and he stole the thing."

Masked Builder Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 "Alright boys, the part's over. Let's go back to our vessel and set sail."
Sandy Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Ellaria peers through her newly gained telescope. "Hehe, I feel like a mariner already!" She then checks the telescope for any markings, inscribings or anything that would set it apart from other telescopes.
