@Leo:

"I don't deal in medicines. The closest apothecary is down the road towards the docks." The man stood up and moved to adjacent room, and brought several staves with him.

"Of course, I have several of the cheapest, weakest healing staves. Two hundred each. I also have this Mend staff, for half thousand coins, and this Antidote staff. Two hundred as well." He then scratched his head, looking at a staff with swirly pink gemstone on top.

"I would offer this Sleep staff too... but it is faulty. I'm not the best when it comes to battle magic. You can have it for fifty coins."

@Maible:

There were biographies of each and every Troian Emperor (a mandatory set of books in every bookstore). Then there were books about Troy Lionheart, his rise to power, some books about various stages of Succession Wars, lots of books on Dragon Cult, several copies of 'Danger of Free Magic' in hard cover, and let's not forget few books about rebellions in the Empire, both recent and from the past.
There were several romance books, about same amount of stories about spies and swordsmen adventures, plus few books full of vulgar, sexual jokes and stories, and of course, at least fifty copies of 'Crimson Affairs of the Twelve Siblings', each in red cover with intricate golden decorations on the edges.

I think this is Candy's stage performance theme

I knew that our resident Zombitroll would get reply 12k. _{That mothafucka a ninja I'm tellin' ya mates v;}

I must commend you guys on your persistence for keeping each and every of you alive. Personally I would've given up long ago

@Leo:

"Good. I hate those stupid Dragon priests barging in and demanding the magical staves for half the price simply because they're half-assed pompous bastards with a fancy title and everything and guess who have to feed his family while they sit on their comfy cushions and... The man's rant devolved into a grumble under his nose, before he coughed and looked at Leo.

"Sorry. Sometimes I ramble incoherently. How can I help you, lad?"

@Maible:

There was a bookstore, larger than the previous. It dealt only in religious treatrises (mostly pertaining to Dragon Cult), history books and romance sagas.

@Leo:

The blad, wrinkled man behind the counter - the only furniture in this rather small room - looked at Leo with a grimace.

"Priests... before we get to business, tell me... are you one of the Imperial Cult Priests?"

@Leo&Maible:

The duo moved outside and then to the market district.

Leo quickly found a staff-maker's shop, just at the corner of the great bazaar. It was open.

Maible did found a bookstore that was apparently dealing in magical books, but when she approached the door, she noticed a small note nailed to it...


The date is from yesterday.

@Sakura:

"Rest assured, it is not some kind of experimental weapon or magical artifact. Technically speaking, the things I carry are mundane in eyes of an uneducated commoner. No offense." She looked down for a moment in slight embarassment.

@Leo:

She looked up when Leo asked about departure time.

"Today. I will go and talk with the ship's captain to prepare for departure. I guess it might take an hour or so. Yes, that will be it. Let's meet in the docks in one hour. The ship, Speedwings, is docked at the pier closest to the lighthouse. Is that all?" Irene stood up, but waited, in case she had to explain something else.

@Masked one:

That's when she heard the last person's talk.

"That's what I'm giving you five hundred coins for. Buy yourselves truffles and wine, or weapons, or powerful spellbooks - whatever suits you, it's your money." With those words, she pulled a small bag out of her armor, and tossed it on the table toward Leo - it made lots of those tinkling, sweet sounds that hard cash does. Throught the opening, the mercenaries could see not only the standard golden coins, but also several Imperial Goldenrods; each of those little, gold ingots was worth fifty coins.

"The necessities, of course, like food, for that I will pay from my own pocket for you. Satisfied, I hope?"

Leopoldo gets 500 Gold!
