the room you enter is unlike all the others so far, the room is seperated into 2 halves by bars and there is a man sitting on a stool in the half of it you cant reach.

he seems happy to see you.

Could I shout to him :"Hello!"?

"hello there," the man replies "i am a trader of goods, you would be amazed how much money has ended up in the gauntlet over the years..."

"my name is richard."

Could you come here Richard?

ha! no thank you! I'm safe from the monsters here, there is no way through for you but i have a deal with the guards. i come and go every day.

I have to say though, i don't get much business. a lot of them don't make it as far as you...

out side of the gauntlet i get lots of business for rare materials. would you believe get some of these monsters in from as far as Bo'tarus? I just so happen to have one of those hard to fill orders right now... if you would help me then i will help you, sound good?

Could you trade me?

yes i can... would you like to buy or sell?

if your buying i have armour, weapons, and potions. My supplies are limited though, if you got me the rare materials i want then i will have more stock for you.

oh and i can identify magical items for you too, but it doesn't come cheap.

I want to buy a good longsword and armor I could wear!

hmm, you dont look so strong... this is what i have as far as light armour goes.

gloves - leather
armour - leather (torso)
trousers - leather
boots - leather
helmet - leather
shield - wooden

all 50 gold, apart from the leather armour, that 70g

and here is a full list of my weapons, and the damage they do

1d6-3 dagger

How much money do I have ?
Also if I were to sell this heavy armor that I have (that I picked up before) how much would you buy it for?

this is your current back pack:

35 g

short sword 1d4
leather helmet
dagger 1d6-3
short bow 1d4
arrows 22
shortbow

OOC: i can also pretend you picked up the iron gauntlets too to save you from going back for them.

IC: i will give you... 30 gold for those gauntlets, do we have a deal?

OOC: Ok

IC: How about you give me 50 gold coins for them?

pal, your not really in a position to negotiate, i will tell you what, get yourself nice and famous the the equipment you use will be worth more to me, and if you help me out i will be inclined to give you a better rate.

but i have to make a profit, times are hard son.

How about 40 gold coins?

30 is my offer, take it or leave it.

would you like to sell anything else?

OOC: The shortbow is better than the shortbow 1d4 right?

its the same, it would have to be a short bow +1 to be better

i will buy short bows for 10 gold.

Sell one short bow.and buy one shield.

l'll buy the short bow off you but you dont have enough for a shield yet, you only have 45, not 50. Would you like to sell those gauntlets too?

No...sell the dagger.

you sell the dagger for 5 gold.

"did you say you wanted the shield?" Richard asks.

Yes

oui

richard takes your money and hands you a shield through the bars.


you can now block as well as attack
also, some dice rolls will result in you blocking successfully and taking no damage.

richard politely smiles at you

there are exits to the south (forwards) and north (behind you).

go forward man...
