PM to join A Trip to the Market [Abandoned]

[Ardan]

Ardan "A blouse, grain, and salt," Ardan said. "At least, that's what I remember. But, then again, I can be fairly petching forgetful sometimes."

[Engghaen]

"And I want a crossbow but I could not find one last time. My other bow is a bit... Old."

Pfew. It's great that Ardan is here to remember my stuff. She grinned, buried in her own thoughts. "Right. Blouse, grain, crossbow, salt."

[Ardan]

Ardan "I think age adds character. Then again, it also adds rust. And termites. And... yeah, I think I see what you mean." He browsed the stalls, eventually returning to the fat dwarf who sold him the daggers. Now, he had a reasonably well-fashioned crossbow for sale.

[Engghaen]

She grinned. "Hey, it does not have termites yet... Maybe a few, but I keep it clean!"

She saw the fat man again, and now she was the one who got forward. That's a petching crossbow!

[Ardan]

Ardan "'Eeey!" exclaimed the merchant. "Me two favorite customers for the day! What brings you back 'ere?" "Well, my good man," began Ardan, "I'm teaching this yip lung lady how to properly operate a crossbow. If you would be so kind as to lower your price for a mentor, I would be very grateful." He silently hoped that this man was as dumb as he looked. "Fifty gold Mizas, no less!" shouted the merchant. "And I don't like liars." Petch, thought the thief. Either smart, or greedy.

[Engghaen]

Petch.

"But... He has already made you money today..! And apart from him..." She looked a tiny bit sorry at Ardan- "...I don't lie. I can not pay fifty Mizas for that. Maybe 40, but nothing.more."

[Ardan]

Ardan Ardan put fifty Mizas on the table and grabbed the crossbow. As they walked away, he spoke in a dark, angry voice. "We've just found our first target."

[Engghaen]

:Alright, alright." she muttered back. "50 Mizas is way too much for a crossbow like that. But thanks anyway." The girl shook her head.

"Next."

[Ardan]

Ardan "The way I see it, that guy must have a lot of money. And, probably quite a few enemies. If we can get into his home, we can get that gold back as well as some extra. "Always remember, there are many ways to steal. Buying those ridiculously expensive items served a purpose, can you guess what it was?"

[Engghaen]

''Umm... Making the chance that he is going to suspect us being the ones who stole his money even bigger by getting angry about his prices?
...
Oh. Right. No, I don't know.''
