"Not doing work, how they work. Well, I mean... not work but... work... it's..."
I compose myself for a moment after a vexed sigh.
"I meant it's how we do things around here. How trading usually goes and such."

"Work not thing?"

My amusement has faded. "Maybe this won't be as fun as I thought..." I mumble to myself.
I'm a normal volume I say "Just watch and learn."
Now to the vendor I say "Good day! We seek peach pits, and maybe some peach wood. Do you happen to know where we could find some?"

In reply to Arvak Garver (msg # 41):

The vendor scratches his head and eyes the motley crew suspiciously.
"I dumped all the stones when I was cutting the fruit, but if you want
fruitwood, see Guillame over in the street of the carvers, over in the
Artisinal district."

Dankz fer da help!

Oly leads off for the Artisans district.

In reply to Oly (msg # 43):

The artisinal district is slightly west and south of the Adventurer's guild,
And is home to leatherworkers, smiths, armorers, craftsmen and a few
alchemists, glassblowers and weavers.  Some have shops, others have stalls,
and a few spread their wares on the ground in the square.

Area Knowledge: Northport or Scrounging to find what you need here

In reply to Narrator (msg # 44):

Oly leads anyone willing to follow over to this district.



15:38, Today: Oly rolled 9 using 3d6. Scrounging. Made it comfortably.

Danos follows Oly's lead through the Artisan district.

I opt to follow a friend, given how last time we split up went.

In reply to Danos (msg # 46):

You find Guillaime's stall, where he sells ornamental and practice weapons
sold to bourgeois children practicing sword fighting. Some are cherry wood,
some maple, some oak, and some may be peach.

The creature begins picking up the various weapons sniffing and licking each of them in turn.

[Private to GM: Can he tell which ones are peach?  Can't decide if he would know that particular word at broken. I figure he knows his wood, but not necessarily what folk here call it.

19:22, Today: Haere Atu rolled 13 using 3d6. Scrounging@17.]

In reply to Narrator (msg # 48):

Mazder Guilliame, would you happen do have a zword made of peach wood? Idz impordanad id iz Peach...

Danos chuckles as he looks over the artisan's wares. "I'm sure my old companions from the mountains are having a good laugh at me know. I left to live in a human city so that I wouldn't need to learn their lessons about the wilds, and now I need to identify types of wood. I'm sure they could do this all blind, but I am useless."

In reply to Danos (msg # 51):

The woodcarver glares at Haere tasting his wares, and says gaurdedly,
"I might have a few. What's it to you?"

We should like do buy one before he decidez do bide one az a znack.

He nods toward Harry.

Danos speaks to the artisan. "Yes, our employer has sent us here to purchase a gift for a guest that he is expecting. This guest comes from the north where little in the way of fruit grows, and so our employer thought that a peach-wood sword for the man's son would be a fitting gift. He was quite particular that it be peach.

"We're hoping that you have some for sale, and that we could purchase one for a reasonable price. What say you?"

Danos tries to negotiate a price, but is not familiar with the usual prices of peachwood weapons.

09:06, Today: Danos rolled 16 using 3d6. Merchant 12.

In reply to Danos (msg # 54):

Guillame looks at the quality of dress of the group and tilts his head.
"I have a peachwood practice blade here for $50, but I am certain your guest
Would appreciate the coloring on this cherrywood item her. I could not let it
 go for less than $80.

Danos smiles uneasily and tries to smooth down some of the corners of the clothes he's slept in for the past three nights.

"Thank you, if you give us a moment to confer, I'm sure we can come to an agreement."

Danos pulls the group away from the stall and says.

"I can offer $20, if you can cover the other $30. We can forget the cherrywood, I think."

Nodding, I give $20 to Danos.

Gi'me a momend...


11:30, Today: Oly rolled 9 using 3d6. Smuggling Knowledge. Made it comfortably - I am assuming a smuggler has to know item values to do business ... so he has merchant type skills.

The creature takes the blade the merchant indicated and gives it another sniff and taste, then takes some rather sparkly tumbled stones out of his pouch and holds them out to the merchant.  "Trade stick?"

In reply to Haere Atu (msg # 59):

Careful Harry... you could easily over pay with those...

OOC:  Is the merchant reacting?

In reply to Haere Atu (msg # 61):

"Not trade stick for pebbles, no. And I am rethinking my initial pricing of fifty," he says eyeing Oly.

Oly Nods and softens his tone ... I am zure we can come do a mudually agreeable and fair price ... I ain'd dryin' do pud you ouda buzinezz.
