Shal'thzar listened for the sound of merchents, shoppers and various other things that told her that there was a shop or merchent nearby. She wandered for a bit in search of a place that would buy the items she had recently collected and entered one of the shops, not even knowing that Ophion and his wife, Aurescia were inside..

(OOC: Hopefully i got everything correct

)

(OOC: Yes, you did. Ophion has a brick-and-mortar shop, not a stall, but you got that detail correct.)

Aurescia heard the sound of another customer entering the shop. Another female Dracon, like herself. Taking one look at her, Aurescia could tell two things; first, that this exotically colored female was a mage like herself, and second... this female was totally blind.

"Hello, fellow mage. Can you hear me?" Aurescia asked Shal'thzar.

babidikrakenguard · **Reply #482 on:** October 30, 2009, 06:43:20 PM

"What?" Shal'thzar replied, then grinned. "Just kidding, sorry about that. Indeed i can here you." Shal'thzar said with a smile.

"I was wondering if there would be a place to sell these.." Shal'thzar began, taking out various pouches that contained the things she had collected from her journey through the desert.

"Their not much to look at though." Shal'thzar added in while itching her head. "just in case there is nobody that would buy these, would you know of anyone that can hire me for jobs? Indeed, i am blind but i can hear many things and the vibrations my feet make tell me where to go and what to avoid." Shal'thzar said with a slight nod.

Indeed, the items inside the pouch weren't much to look at.. Claws, Teeth and an eye or two from various creatures that wandered the desert land. Shal'thzar had unfortunately run afoul of unfortunate travellers that had either been attacked by desert bandits or made quite a meal for the desert creatures. However, Shal'thzar had collected a few valuables from the bodies of the travellers: Jewelry, Magic Stones and a few bottles of potions and atleast three daggers.

(OOC: If there are any desert bandits.

Sounds good enough though!

Looking over the items, Aurescia gave a slight smile, half out of happiness that she could use the claws and teeth, half out of a slight sense of pity for the blind female in front of her. Fortunately, Aurescia was very polite and straightforward.

"The items you have... I can give you 10 gold in total for them; mostly for the eyes and claws. I'll buy the daggers as well, even if that only makes up a small total of the gold I can give you for them all."

The Bartender got Jake the drink he ordered. "thanks" said Jake, But jake thought in his mind that Dracons are useless and he sees no reason why they even exist. Jake didn't say this out aloud of course but he sure was thinking it...

Noname · **Reply #485 on:** November 03, 2009, 01:27:41 AM

"Anything else, human?" the bartender asked Jake, while passing a mug of ale over to another customer... he had had several mugs too many already... :blink:

metadude1234 · **Reply #486 on:** November 03, 2009, 01:32:04 AM

"i'm fine" responded jake, Jake lifted his mug and he took a big gulp of the ale. jake's eyes shot right open...Jake thought that this ale tasted foul...Jake didn't say anything though, jake swallowed and he paid the dracon and he went upstairs and into his room to lay down..the ale had made him feel sick. "uhhh........my gut......uhhh"

"Really?" Shal'thzar said with a slightly surprised tone to her voice. "Very well. thank you!" She added in with another smile.

Noname · **Reply #488 on:** November 03, 2009, 01:08:37 PM

"You are most welcome." Aurescia replied with a smile, although Shal'thzar couldn't see it. "Is there anything else you need? We sell magical services as well as goods, you know. If you need us to make a potion or elixer, we can do custom orders as well."

babidikrakenguard · **Reply #489 on:** November 03, 2009, 05:17:17 PM

Shal'thzar thought for a moment on what Aurescia said. "Well, i suppose.." Shal'thzar began, trying to think until she finally said..

"Got any Armor? Leg Guards especially?" Shal'thzar said, folding her arms.

Noname · **Reply #490 on:** November 03, 2009, 05:37:10 PM

"We have some, but it is quite expensive... let me... well... hmm. There is a pair of leather greaves... they have a weak enchantment on them to make them somewhat more durable... I'm not sure that a mage would want them... usually that stuff is reserved for warriors, and females like you and I... well... we have to rely on mobility to survive combat, not armor." Aurescia told Shal'thzar.

"If you really want them, we've got them... but the price is kinda steep... 50 gold pieces per greave." Aurescia added.

Torvin got up, placed his hand on the candle and lit it using his fire based magic.

He thought back to how he was and still is impressed by mages hurling fireballs and sending vortexes of fire swirling into the air.

And though he had been taught the basics of magic, he was one of the worst students in his class. Even today, after years of practice, the most he can do is ignite or heat whatever he is holding.

"Wonder what they got at the bar?" he asked out loud.

Noname · **Reply #492 on:** November 03, 2009, 08:26:49 PM

The bar downstairs was surprisingly quiet for a Dracon one... the festivities had died down for the time being. Some old music was playing, not exactly the kind most Dracons listened to anymore, having been imported from human lands to the east long ago.

Music

With the money on the counter, Halo took the stones and pocketed them, and had stepped aside as the newcomer came in to sell trinkets from her travels. He gave a courteous nod to Aurescia and walked out the shop. By now, Shiana and Youri were waiting.

----------

As they waited for their friend to come back, Shiana left the room to the bar just as Jake disappeared into his room.

Later...

Much time had passed and it had grown dark. Kos had returned home, but did not tell his parents about what had happened... not yet. He would think about it some more and tell them in the morning. His powers had manifested...

Meanwhile, Kria was going to contact the one who would initiate her into the cult tomorrow. Se had wanted magical powers of her own, and now, she would get that chance...

It would be a big day tomorrow, that was for sure.

Torvin entered the bar and sat at the counter. He ordered a pint of mead from the Dracon bartender.

Noname · **Reply #496 on:** November 09, 2009, 12:40:34 AM

"Coming right up!" said the bartender, as he prepared some mead for Torvin.

The tavern was crowded with the usual guests... mostly Dracons...but this time...

"There's another one of your kind in here, horsey!" the bartender told Torvin. "We don't get very many of you, so you might want to take a look. She's in the back of the bar!"

Serris · **Reply #497 on:** November 09, 2009, 02:44:16 AM

Torvin sipped the mead. "Thanks." He then got up and walked over to the female in the back of the bar.

She was a husky looking grey Shire horse wearing light chain mail armor.

Noname · **Reply #498 on:** November 09, 2009, 06:22:09 PM

The female, Cassia, was not very large, about average in size for a female of her species, but was husky in the sense that she was rather rough and wild. The Dracon Lands were not an easy place to live in for most, especially for a young single female like herself, fresh into adulthood just a few years back. Her situation was made even harder by the fact that she was part of a racial minority... or a species minority, for that matter.

Cassia was an adventurer in a sense... she had some chain mail that was altogether too small on her, but it covered what it had to, even if her belly was exposed. Underneath the chain mail, she wore a sleeveless shirt, which worked out well as the chain mail did not cover her arms. Armed with a rapier, she fought with grace over strength, as she had much of the former, and less of the latter.

Mostly, it was her task to assist low-ranking adventurers with tasks that the other ones did not want to do, such as investigate infestations by sand beetles, find a runaway kobold slave, weed out brigands in the slums, or some other such thing. It wasn't the best job, but she earned enough to live in an apartment that was... well... she preferred to think of it as the very next step above a slum. At least her hooves could handle those stairs up to her fifth story apartment.

She abhorred slavery and inequality, both of which plagued these lands. Crime was also a big problem, especially in the cities and along certain trade routes, but no matter how many bandits she stopped, there were always many more to take their place. Cassia had come to the bar in search of a chance to relax after spending 10 hours looking for a lost lizard familiar belonging to a wizard, only to learn that it was in its owner's house the whole time. At least he paid her for her time... it was just enough to buy a round of drinks...

Jake lay on his bed. his gut had settled down and he relaxed on his bed while a cool breeze blew in from the window "ah...that's a nice breeze" said Jake in a calm tone. Jake got off his bed and he walked over to the window and he took a deep breath of fresh air. Jake stayed at the window and he gazed at the city. It was quiet large and it had very many residents and travellers. at night he thought that the city looked quiet beautiful.
