****************************************************

Just a fun snippet. Saw an opportunity, given the circumstances and Ysi wouldn't be a good merchant if he didn't make good use of it!

Tower Square
This side of the square is the southern section of the Tower Square.
In the center is the walled off White Tower. To the south a large
boulevard opens up leading to the Southharbor. To the north you see
the southern gate of the Tower grounds. The square continues east
and west.
A large banner rests here, depicting a map of Tar Valon.
[ obvious exits: N E S W ]
North: A middle-aged officer is here controlling his subordinates.
East: A Tower Guard watches for signs of trouble.
South: A black cat meanders to an unknown destination.
West: A large man eyes the surroundings warily, every movement fluid.
A marble bench, flecked with gold and bronze, adorns the floor.
An oil lamp, set in a steel cage, hangs from a high wooden pole.
An elaborately sculpted marble fountain splashes merrily.
A stout wooden barrel stands nearby.
|1|.A Tairen bloodstock stallion stands here, tail swaying with the breeze, being ridden by you.
Musashi the Squire is standing here.
A Tower Guard watches for signs of trouble.

Musashi Grins smugly.

Brycen has arrived from the south, riding a |2|.warhorse.

Brycen bows deeply.

Musashi Grins smugly.

Brycen says 'Greetings Master Musashi, Master Ysidoriusz.'

Musashi says 'Greetings, southerner.'

Brycen says 'I am riding south west to meet the shadow head on.'

Ysidoriusz says 'Greetings, Master Brycen.'

Brycen bows deeply.

Ysidoriusz says 'We are used to the Shadow in Kandor.'

Musashi says 'I'd be heading south too'

Musashi says 'but my weapons are locked in cairhen'

Musashi says 'Seized unlawfully by the rising sun'

Brycen says 'Sorry to hear that sir.'

Ysidoriusz says 'Some of my items are stored there, but I am wealthy enough to extract them, should I need them.'

Musashi chuckles politely.

Musashi says 'Money is nothing to those who follow the way of the sword. Except in this instance'

Musashi says 'when humans put political intrigue above the war against the shadow.'

Ysidoriusz says 'The Kandori Merchants' Guild's money supports Kandor in its fight against the Shadow. You cannot have an army without money.'

Ysidoriusz's ruddish beard splits in half as he smiles.

Musashi says 'Money is for women and dirty merchants'

Musashi peers closely at Ysidoriusz. Guard your secrets carefully...

Ysidoriusz chuckles politely.

Ysidoriusz says 'Don't let my wife hear money is for women.'

Musashi snickers softly.

Ysidoriusz shivers. Brrrrrrrrr.

Ysidoriusz says 'She is well cared for, but women can be unreasonable.'

Musashi says 'A good wife should look after the finances'

Musashi says 'and bills'

Musashi says 'to leave her husband free to focus on the more important things'

Musashi says 'like honor and glory'

Ysidoriusz says 'Can't live off honor and glory alone, good sir.'

Musashi says 'You can if you're successful!'

Ysidoriusz says 'Does a child start out with being able to walk?'

Musashi says 'no you leave them out in the Saldaean winter'

Musashi says 'if they die they die'

Ysidoriusz thumbs his emerald earring as he thinks.

Ysidoriusz says 'That seems unwise, in the long run.'

Lyam has arrived from the north.

An ogier has arrived from the south.

Lyam says 'hey mus'

Lyam snaps to attention and salutes Musashi.

Musashi stops resting, and clambers on his feet.

Musashi snaps to attention and salutes Lyam.

Lyam says 'any of you have an oilstone?'

You bow before Lyam.

Ysidoriusz stops using an oilstone.

Musashi shakes his head.

Ysidoriusz gives an oilstone to Lyam.

Lyam grabs an oilstone.

Lyam stops using a pair of gold-hilted hooked swords.

Lyam sits down.
Lyam begins mending a pair of gold-hilted hooked swords.

Lyam continues sharpening the edges of a pair of gold-hilted hooked swords...

Musashi leaves east.

Ysidoriusz says 'Kandori merchants are often well stocked.'

Lyam is finishing off the edges of a pair of gold-hilted hooked swords...

Ysidoriusz's ruddish beard splits in half as he smiles.

Brycen says 'I am ready sir, may I join?'

Musashi says 'I am not quite finished getting my things'

Musashi says 'sadly some of them are locked in.. that city'

Lyam nods in agreement.

Ysidoriusz says 'The Lugard Market Hall should have most items in stock.'

Ysidoriusz says 'At fair prices.'

Musashi chuckles politely.

Brycen leaves west riding a warhorse.

Musashi says 'Money is for women and DIRTY MERCHANTS'

Musashi grins evilly.

Ysidoriusz says 'And soldiers in poor eq.'

Musashi snickers softly.

Musashi says 'you got'

Musashi says 'any like things'

Musashi says 'sungwoods is what I need'

Musashi says 'sad'

An ogier smiles happily.

An ogier rumbles 'You should talk to the Treesinger about that.'

Musashi leaves west.

[Musashi]

FYI oocly I dont think women vs men anything, trying (poorly) to rp a 1600s Musashi in this instance. I think I will improve his RP over time.

Though I would like to point out, if that merchant had been more focused on the fight against the shadow and less with lining his pockets, he'd be able to provide true warriors with the weapons needed.

[Ysidoriusz]

OOC: And I don't have a wife, that's the fun with rp.
