The boy encased in silver

Post by Riown » Fri Feb 08, 2019 4:17 am

You notice a small boy setting up shop on the side of the road. Upon closer examination you notice that he gleams brightly in the sun, as if he's wearing a well polished suit of armor. Odd for a boy. You look even closer and notice the silver doubloons adorning just about every inch of his body. The currency seems to have been fashioned into a suit of armor, including jewelry.


I have the kings bounty of silver tokens. More numbers than feeble minds can comprehend. Let us barter.

5 silver tokens for
- 2 dbelts
- 3 herons

7 silver tokens for
- 5 herons
- 3 dbelts

8 silver tokens for
- 3 triple bladed daggers
- 3 dbelts

A well dressed Kandori merchant pauses as the glint of silver catches her eye. The boy all bedecked in tokens is indeed a unique site. As a trader, his offers are of great interest to her, but a look of confusion crosses her face.

"It would seem that looking at the relative rates in the three offerings, you would say that 3 triple-bladed daggers are worth 5 herons and a silver token." She makes some notes in her pocketbook, then moves on to examine what other things the market has to hold.

Another Kandori, also an affiliate of the Kandori Merchant Guild as noted by the three silver chains resting on her bosom, watches on in approval as her colleague notes the exchange rates.

Truly, the Bazaar has been trading things at odd values of late! There was that one Warder who had so many axes and an Illian Companion doing nearly the same trade! Perhaps they were business partners?

With a shrug, she wanders on through the Bazaar with a pouch full of coin in search of profitable trade.

Tucking three silver tokens into his pocket the Illianer Gaidin squints in confusion at the scene unfolding before him.
Two merchants twitch as they hurry away to their storefronts, utterly failing to hide their incredulity and glee.
Glancing at the sign he thumbs the smudged note in his pocket that offered five tokens for a single blade and considers again taking the offer.
