Barbara nodded

"Sounds good,  then.   Where do we begin?"

  “My guess it’s back to the stairs and find our way to Jorasco, right?” suggests Dean.  “Go find this Crocman and find out where he got it from.”

"Should we buy her things ?"

Jill, "I think so Xantastic. We need swamp exploring gear like Deep Woods Off and other things."

Barbara nodded
"Buying her things would also give us a good source of her scent as well "

The Merchant says, "Since they were obviously stolen I will sell them to you at half price." He gives a wide but worried smile.

Barbara raised an amused eyebrow at the "generous" merchant,  and looked to Millenia

Millenia said, "Sounds fair, I mean you didn't know you were trading in stolen goods right ?"

The Merchant nods, "Right, right."

Millenia, "Oh your such a liar. Were a bit low on funds just got our brains shined and all. How about a quarter for them."

The Merchant says, "A quarter then and your stealing me blind. Mmmm 15 discs."

Barbara let Millennia do the talking,  but stood by as a "figure of menace"

The Merchant looks at the black clad bat girl who does look for her part menacing. As well as Millenia who is more menacing by accident.

Millenia looks at Barbara then the Merchant a few times then smiles at Barbara.

The Merchant goes pale and just hands everything over to Barbara. He looks almost terrified of her.

"We appreciate your cooperation "
She spoke in her best deadpan "bat voice"

He just nods and tries to put one of his counters between him and batgirl.

She packed everything

Xantastic gets close to Barbara and tugs on her cape a little.

Whisper, "Your not going to send me home are you ?"

Barbara looked down at Xantastic distractedly
"What do you mean?"

Xan looks around then stand on her tip toes to whisper, "Your remind me of Batman right now and he used to send me home when he got like that."

Barbara blinked in surprise,  but smiled
"Well, thank you for the compliment,  but while he's a good role model, I'm not Batman.   As far as I'm concerned,  the job isn't over until we've recovered Jessica.  You can stay as long as you want "

Xan beamed a smile so honestly that perhaps Batman himself might not have been able to resist smiling at the little chib.

She stood faithfully at Batgirls side.

Soon everything is turned over and the group is ready to do whatever they decide.

Barbara has a few more Bat items as well.

Barbara does an inventory and prepared to leave with the group

Millenia says, "Do we want to buy any goods for your travels here ?"

She looks all around, "Other then Nexapolis, this place is a melting pot of merchants of all kinds."

Barbara shrugged sheepishly
"I don't have any local money,  so it feels pretentious to spend yours.
If you want to finance this, however,  i wouldn't argue"

  Dean pipes up, "I'd suggest some neoprene wetsuits, to keep out leeches and other parasites.  Don't want some swamp funk climbing up into delicate places."

(Just get me a list of what you might want. As long as it's not super exotic chances are it is here. Some super exotic things are here too.)

Millenia can bank roll basic things for everyone.
The Elven woman says she has never been to worlds beyond her own and the Stairs and Agora looks forward to seeing new places.

Xan though looks a bit depressed.

Barbara helps Dean with the list

"Inflatable Raft.  Bug Repellent.  First Aid Kits.  Towels."


She looked at Xantastic
"What's up, my friend?"
