Tuckborough
An open cobblestone square bustling with people and sounds, a sensible spot for
the heart of Tookland. The town is a busy one, with an abundance of residences
and shops. There is a path up a hill to the southwest and another leads
southwards to a more rural district. An old tree stands in the northwest corner
of the square, and there are several postings upon it. A comfortable wooden
bench sits next to the tree, where hobbits often sit to relax. The square is
illuminated by a warm light pouring out of the windows of the bakery.

Malbo has arrived.
Malbo walks into the centre of Tuckborough, smoking a long, well-carved pipe. He
whistles in between blowing smoke rings. He looks around and sees a fellow
hobbit, Omfast. He walks over to him and greets him, "Good day to you. Would you
be interested in buying some weed?"
malbo has no history set.
Omfast jumps and turns around, surprised. He smirks, "Ah, you're the new weed
salesman at that farm, are you not? Well, well. A Hornblower if I ever saw one."
Omfast looks up and down the road, but since it is a late winter night, nobody
is out on the street anymore. "Don't you ever stop selling, boy? Ah, forget it.
Show me what you have."
Malbo pulls out a slightly battered sales list and replies, "No, sir, I don't
stop selling. Selling is my job." He hands the price list to Omfast and says,
"I've got pouches of all the weed on there 'cept the Bree Pride and Troll
Chaser."

Omfast looks at the list, then turns it upside down. Then he sneers, "Gah! Just
tell me what you have. Do you have that ol' Forest Gold? My favorite if I ever
had one."
Malbo pulls out a pouch, looking distinctly annoyed with the old windbag. He
says sharply, "Yes, sir. I do have some 'ol' Forest Gold'. 15 copper pieces a
pouch, sir."
Omfast looks at his fingernails, then starts scratching one of his arms as he
considers. "Hm, last time I bough from ol' Talvo boy, it was considerably
cheaper, chap. So don't try to cheat me on that. I'll give you eleven coppies
for that pouch and that's it, agreed?"
Omfast grins, "Hey hey, you wanna seel that weed, now, don't you? Let's say
twelve and have it done."
Malbo nods and grins back. "Twelve it is then." He hands the pouch to Omfast and
nods. "Glad doin' business with ye."
You +give 12 Copper Pennies to Malbo.
Omfast grabs the pouch and adds it to his belt. "I know, you guys are always
eager to sell a pouch. Never mind. I'm sure we'll see each other again." And
with that, Omfast turns and walks into the Luck Tucky Inn.
Malbo nods and replies, "I'm sure we will. Farewell!"
