Moffdust watches Dregz, fascinated with the unfolding powers of the magic stick. "De next sticks must be a long ways off cos wes cants sees any changes in de directions dis ones pointin, so its goods wes donts haves ter walks. Whats de magic words Dregzie?"

She takes a helping of stew but narrows her eyes at Minmorc. "Yes, I's gettin a magic stickses ter poke out yer eyeses wiv." Another thought pops into her head and her mood brightens. "I wonders if dear Shelby will be at der markets?" She licks her lips.

"It is a very magic word," Dregz informs Moffa, picking his words carefully.  "It must not be said unless we really, really want to go, right now, you bet."

Minmorc will stare at Moffa in confusion before comprehension dawns. Talking to her as if to a small child he will carefully explain "I gets it, yer saw Dregz pokes der dirt elf in der eye an yer fink dats how yer make der magic sticks work. Nah, dat was Dregz really messin up real bad. Yer see der magic sticks, dey gots magics in em and if yer say der magic word yer can use der magics. If yer don't want no magic stuff dats great, more magic stuff fer udder folks."

When Minmorc gets to the market he will head straight to Twofers shop.

Moffdust nods in understanding as Dregz explains the intricacies of the magic word, sure that the holy goblin knows many mysterious and secret things from his holy book.

Minmorc however has her narrowing her eyes again and pulling herself up to her full three foot height to glare at him as he lectures her. "So did Moldavites die and makes youse de queen?" She drops into a curtsy then stalks off towards the market. "If I doesnt wants any magic stuffs now den I will takes my shares in shinies and saves it fer later."

After dusk everyone makes their way together to the marketplace again, except Dregz (he decided to stay at the temple to study his holy book and the black rod) and maybe Arlein as well, if she was still hunting mice around the temple(?)

On the way they discuss the magic equipment that they would like to get in trade with Two-fer-one. Jurz is the only one with any particular request (magic armour).

When they arrive at the marketplace Minmorc goes in first to see Two-fer-one and gets an appraisal on the +1 full plate armour, +1 studded leather armour and +1 short sword. Together, Two-fer-one will trade them for up to 3067.5gp worth of magic items. Minmorc had asked about +1 studded leather armour with studs of bone for Jurz and it is priced at 1175gp, leaving up to 1892.5gp worth of magic items to be selected. Whatever is chosen will be available for the exchange tomorrow night (Night 7).

Moffa and Bully go in to see Two-fer-one next to complete a trade that they had arranged the night before.

After the initial discussions with Two-fer-one, Slipsnotz and Riza say they have something private to take care of and they slip away and disappear into the crowds of the marketplace.

Any sort of mundane or magical equipment that anyone wants to buy and can afford is available in the market up to 1000gp market value, except nothing with an elven descriptor, and there is no food and drink available to purchase at all in Gorna.

Jurz likes the idea of the armour  and grins his agreement.  Then he heads off to look around the market.

Back in the abandoned temple, Dregz continues his careful study of both Holy Book and Holy Stick(s), basking in the certain knowledge that fulfillment of Bargrivyek's will is surely within his grasp.

Bulldust claims the remainder of the shared treasure and whispers his instructions to Twofer.  "See ya tomorra."

Riza will come back after a while then wait with the group before returning back to the temple.

Jurz squints at Bully and pulls him and Moffa to one side, then whispers ...

Bulldust concludes his bartering then has a word with Jurz before wandering off to find Moffa and whatever passes for a surgeon in this marketplace.

Minmorc will wait until Bully has finished his bartering then will have a meeting with Twofer. Once he's finished he will make his way back to the temple of Pearler with the complex plan of lounging around and taking things easy.

The returnees find Dregz still engrossed examining the black rod and flipping excitedly through his Holy Book.  He will spare but a glance for anyone addressing him and will wave in acknowledgment, but all his attention is on the task at hand.

Moffdust seems happy to speak with Jurz. When Bully wanders off to do something stupid she leaves him to it and makes her way back to the church.

Once Jurz has finished his shopping, he returns to the hidey church.

He makes a big fuss of Rog, and promises him that they will soon be away from this town, and then they will be able to hunt for some fresh meat.  Afterwards he spends time looking around the Church, searching for any signs or items, of Pealer's, that might have been missed when the church was ransacked.

"It's all so clear now," Dregz mutters to himself.  [Language unknown: "Eveme a avereaati us heilncou ticoveromour !"]

Various deals with Two-fer-one are arranged for the next night by several members of Team Arda-Nuff. A bit of other shopping and trading is completed successfully by several of the group as well and everyone drifts back to the temple in small groups during the course of the night. Riza is the last to return.

Dregz, Rog the dog and Arlein the cat had remained at the temple. Dregz was completely focused on studying his Holy Book but the dog and cat explored the place in their own ways while everyone else was gone. Rog was quite content with a discarded boar bone he found from yesterday's meal. Arlein found plenty of rats to satisfy her need to hunt. When he returned to the temple Jurz was more interested in any religious items left over from when the temple was pillaged, but there was little of that to be found.

Finding anything to eat at the marketplace had been impossible so when the team is back together at the temple more of the boar meat is roasted for dinner. There is still enough of the meat left for a few more days and none of this group are bothered that it is starting to smell a bit rancid by now.

OOC: Does anyone have any particular plans they want to do the next day or can we fast-forward to Night 7 and completion of the deals set up with Two-fer-one?

After Jurz has grubbed around the church for a bit, he is happy to loiter in his 'nest' with Rog as he fiddles with something he has found.

Minmorc is quite happy to take a day off. He asks Riza to wake him when the nasty bloody sun has gone again.

Moffdust returns to the church and looks around to see what everyone is doing. She hides the sleeping orc's big metal spear thing among the splintered timbers of the pews at the back of the church then watches as Cat flies around the church and around the graveyard. She sleeps when she gets tired.

Dregz continues to be fascinated by both the rod and flips through his Holy Book like a goblin before whom all the answers are arrayed, if only he can reach out and snatch them in time.  He sleeps when he can no longer keep his eyes open and reads when he jerks awake, eating if anyone brings him anything, otherwise nibbling whatever crumbs remain in his sack.

After while Jurz gets O'Baddy's tree out and makes sure it is watered.  Then he plays around for a bit trying to balance Pealer's sun-star on top.  Although eventually both put away properly in with his gear.

When Minmorc wakes to take a leak and finds his spear missing it takes a couple of minutes for his befuddled mind to realise that it's gone. Mid stream Minmorc will roar with rage and begin a frantic and destructive search throughout the temple for either an invisible enemy or his spear. Once he finds it he will calm completely and go back to sleep, cuddling it like a teddy.

Minmorc's bellowing coincides, for some reason, with Dregz also waking up ... but on this occasion, the little goblin doesn't immediately turn back to his Holy Book, but instead sits very still, an expression of perplexity upon his furrowed brow.

If anybody else happens to be awake while the big orc is tearing apart the temple, the priest will tell the following tale ...

"I has had a vision !  Annuver vision," Dregz adds, "I'll tell youse about der udder one later.  Dis one wuz sent by Bargrivyek, and I sawed us hidin' behind a tent in der dark in a sandy place.  An' der were many tents and der was snorin' ... an' der was a scary human standin' guard an' watchin', watchin' dis group of sleepin' ones who were all chained togevver !"

"Dat's meaningful dat is !" the priest insists.

Jurz looks up from fiddling with O'Baddys Tree and Pealers Sun-star and glances across at Dregz.  "Whos was hiding?" He asks suspiciously, trying to imagine Minmorc crouched down out  of sight without all the roaring, snorting and shouting.  "An what was wes hidin from?" He continues, more worried about the risk that the potential gain.

Although finally he asks "And what woz dose ones dat was chained up.  Was dey gobbos?  Or was dey more hoommies?"
