There is also a wandering Alchemist’s booth, Kylock the Sage, who offers his precious concoctions.

      Potion of Magic 40 Gold Crowns
      Fire Capsule 5 Gold Crowns
      Potion of Fortune 30 Gold Crowns
      Potion of Warming 10 Gold Crowns
      Blue Crystal 10 Gold Crowns
      Galehorn 35 Gold Crowns
      Goblin’s Tooth 12 Gold Crowns
      Phial of Antidote 8 Gold Crowns
      Magnifying glass 28 Gold Crowns

After drinking with the merry folk and dancing with the beautifully attired girls of Gallows End, you spot a strange tent that has been erected apart from the clamor of the feast. The tent is embroidered with arcane star symbols and a wisp of blue smoke, smelling of incense, emanates from the tent’s entrance, where there is a slab of wood with carvings saying: “Alianna the Seer - 2 Gold Crowns”.

Walking through the stalls Robustous can see it is a bit above his meager resources at the moment, but he does spend a few minutes at the Alchemist’s booth. Looking at the various wares the dwarf is unsure what the majority are for or their effects.

The Fire Capsule he can guess at and the Antidote, but the other pieces he decides are components used for spells, magic and the like. Never having put much credence in soothsayers and seers before Robustous could not say why he was drawn to the tent, but he was.

He read the sign several times before entering, his money bag clasp in his hand.

A young, fair lady, wrapped in a cloak and hood, is sitting on a low ebony stool, just behind a small three-legged round table on which a crystal balls pulsates with faint amber light. She seems frail, but her penetrating eyes suggest she possesses a power that not many can match. Without a word, first of all she extends her hand to receive her payment.

In reply to The Director (msg # 20):

As the gold leaves his hand Robustous begins to regret his decision, but there was no going back now. He looks for another stool and stands if there is none as he waits for the woman to begin.

-

After collecting her payment, Alianna the Seer stares deeply in her Crystal Ball, scrying the Fates. After a little while, she begins whispering: "I see… the Night of The Three Beggars is a night of beginnings… But it may also mean the beginning of ruin! When you’ll face all the Three Beggars, then someone will have to die... Beware of the comets’ shower."

"Right.... what else do you see.. when will this comet appear ?" Robustous was starting to regret the lost gold even more.

-

Alianna the Seer shakes her head, then she looks up with lively eyes: "I don't know the meanings of my prophecies. I enter a deep state of trance when I make my forecasts and I don't know anything beyond what I say.
If you want I have some ware to trade, too."

      Ring of Light 30 Gold Crowns
      Astrolabe 10 Gold Crowns
      Small, but well-crafted hourglass 9 Gold Crowns
      Beautiful lute 25 Gold Crowns

"No thank you I think I have heard enough." Getting up he makes his way to the door of the tent still thinking over what the seer had said. Once outside he looked to find a table, chair and beer deciding to watch the festivities for a time.

-

Nothing else interesting happens during the festival, apart from good food, enjoyable dances and good-hearted laughs.
When evening is close, you are offered a free stay at the only Inn of the village (the Gryphon’s Nest), that some of you already know.

Robustous will defer to his fellow guard as to whether or not they begin their journey back to the tower this evening or in the morning. He does not need a lamp or light to walk by so he is happy to go or to stay.

Garl visits the alchemist’s booth and carefully examines each item for sale.  Do I know what they do?

[OOC Yes, Garn knows about all items. If you have the rulebook, you can find most of them there, otherwise I can type a more detailed description.]

[OOC: Sorry... I guess I should have thought of that.]

Garl will buy a Potion of Magic.  Also, can I sell items here?  (I might buy more items, but I’m short on equipment slots.)

[OOC of course you can try selling your items as well!]

Galendra continues to keep watch over the borderlands, warming herself from the cold and wind.

Garl will attempt to sell one of the two ropes he has, and a lynchpin.

the best offer that Garl receives is of 15 silver coins.

He’ll take the 15 silver, and will then purchase a Potion of Fortune and also an antidote.  You can’t be too careful....

[OOC just update your character sheet accordingly.]

[Ooc: done.]

What do you do, now? Do you go back to your Tower during the night or you pass the night in Gallows End and go back in the morning? Any other option?

Robustous will head back to the tower, his sense of duty compelling him.

You go back to the Tower straight away.
