(Yay, I get to sit in)
(*wave* howdy.)
(Indeed!)
(And I get to GM!)
(^_^)
*Kulvier glances at the tourists with a dead-pan look* ...I'll be expecting monitry compensation for leading you here.
(Hola Zero.)
"Yeah, we sorta figured..."
( Why yes, I AM an uncaring mercenary badass.)
*OHL turns to his group, and they begin trying to decide just how much they can hand out. They may have cash, but they ain't OMG RICH.
* Estrain is happy enough to just quietly follow up the rear, weapons at rest.
...Men don't live on good vibes alone... *Kulvier cocked and eyebrow at the hippy*
!roll 3d100
...wrong window.
fsck youi, nonexistant highwind!
(Lol. Rolls in other window. :P)
(LOL!!!)
(OK. EK redeemed himself in my eyes. He got me to laugh)
(Good, BOTCH, Good...)
Highwind EK|GM - 3d100: 26, 100, 44 ( Total: 170 )
(Yeah, that's highwind alright)
(Yep.)
(Someone needs to program the Turrette's out of Highwind.)
*Kul glanced over at Raza and smirked* I'm guessing you don't approve of my methods.
The tourists manage to come up with 170 Gil for the three of you. They won't be paying Jack and Mitzu's group... Since you got to the point first.
(170 each?)
* Raza raises an eyebrow at the Okami. "You're little more than a beggar, so no."
(Or for the group as a whole?)
(Hm... Sure, what the heck.)
(>.>)
(Heh. I love being me. :D)
(See? I'll bet none of you woulda done that. BUT, i'm not normal. :P)
(*shrug*)
With the payments made, the tourists quickly scatter towards the less seedy parts of town.
They've got a ways to go.
Awww...come on Raza. Look at it this way. I was kind enough to get you a potion. *He laughed softly and nodded his head, the visor shutting*
(Again, which? 170 each, or 170 for the group?)
(Each. Because I'm nice like that.)
(Or guilty conscienced. :p)
* Raza rolls her eyes and fixes her hair.
(...Like I usually am...)
(This has been a very profitable enterprise.)
(Is there a difference?)
(For me as well. ^_^)
(Heh heh heh.)
(Mory tends to make me rethink my idiocy part of the time.)
"So. Where to now? Do we continue towards the Tip?"
"Well, that was fun... The fastest thing to do would be to go northeast from here, join the Coastal Mainway, and head dead east on the road from there."
*Kulvier quickly added his earning to his pouch and chuckled dryly* "Well...I'd honestly like to know when Raza's father will be paying me next."
"But if you need extra cash, The Hole's the place to be. You find the right tunnel, you're a million Gil the better."
(Geez, he's like a furry Han Solo.)
(Hanbacca?)
*Kul fell silent, trying to think of what kinds of monsters were in that area* (Bingo. :P)
(Basically)
(Hmm. Is there a weapon's shop?)
(Rolling for Moster Lore)
(If so... I want to borrow 69 gil so I can buy a Blackout.)
(lol. You can owe Kul if you ask him nicely. ;))
As for the monsters, one never knows.
The upper levels are pretty much cleaned out of both baddie and goodie...
(Rats...that means I failed...)
And the lower levels, no one's come back with the tale yet.
As for weapon shops, OMG YES. What else are Mercs gonna buy?
*Kul shrugged* ...Can't say I've heard anything of what lies within that area.
Beyond booze and a night's company and all that jazz.
* Estrain heads towards the weapons merchants. "Come on. Let's see what they have."
*Kul nodded and followed. Finding a nice weapon might be...fun?*
* Raza makes Jack follow.
((No weapons, but I can get some nice ammo))
In that case, a streetwise from Desil and... whatever roll Raza can make make sense, like Inquiry or Perception or whatnot.
*Kul stopped dead in his tracks. His nose catching the scent on a female Okami. He grunted as if hit by something painful* ...Sorry...I think I'll head to an inn...
* Jack follows. He's a good puppy like that. Besides, weapons = good!
(I roll a ONE!)
(* EK|GM quickly tries to remember what weapons jack uses.)
* Desil finds every armor ever.
Seriously. They'll have Enhancers and stuff in stock.
(At bargain prices? :P)
(It's a five-fingered sale if you wanna try for it.)
(o.O)
(Er, no. Too risky.)
(TRY, DAMN YOU! >_<)
(Lol. Just send the Okami to intimidate ppl. :P)
(Ah, but the Okami went to an Inn. Are we doing a split-scene here or are you just off-camera?)
(Off cam. At the moments, he's standing thee, scenting the air with heavy lament.)
(heh.)
* Estrain scans the boomerangs, finally letting his gaze rest on a black boomerang, carved with a white moon symbol. "Ah, merchant? How much is this one worth?"
(Do you have Trade, Moryssa?)
((Yes))
* Desil manages to find a suprisingly huge armoy emporium. It's owned by some big-name company, probably.)
(Try that.)
*-)
* Oh yeah. It's a Lial Emporium, like the one they're gonna build in the Eastern Tip.
And it's fully stocked.
(Heheh.)
Holy hell, Highwind loves your pockets.
(Can you say "employee discount"?)
* Raza grins at the large sign. "It's good to be connected."
"Well, yeah."
(Can you say "I like my job" discounts?)
*Kulvier looked over at Raza* ...Some connections can be dealt without. *He shook his head and walked into the shop, standing in the doorway*
(...I forget how much gil I have.)
(440 or so)
(I added it to your sheet a bit ago)
* Desil, Raza and Jack walk into the ginormous first floor of the emporium; Kul in the doorway and Mitzu... being mysterious.
(You have my sheet, not me. Lol)
(Yeah.
(...Where's the site with the amor lists?)
(Do you have an e-mail account?)
(http://www.returnergames.com/wiki)
(That's the rules)
* They are almost immediately beset upon by several nice men, all wearing the same uniform. Since Raza knows the company better than I, she probably knows if they're like Wal*Mart or whatever. >.>
*Kulvier walked right over to the weapons. His eyes judging each one* ...
((Think classier. They're like Nordstroms))
* Estrain nods. "I'm Desil Estrain, of the Notos Branch of the Lial Company. This is Raza Lial - you should know who she is. The heiress of the company."
* Raza motions back to Jack and his companions. "They're with us too."
* EK|GM has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
(...)
(Uhhh....)
(We wait for a bit now.)
((whistles while she works))
(I think I might save my gil, unless Raza be gettin us a HUGE discount)
((5%))
*nod* I'm planning on buying one Blackout and spending the rest on healing. Unless we get a 50% discount, in which case I'm buying two and screw healing.
* EK|GM has joined #terranotos
(Lol. Some trader you are. :P)
(Hey, EK.)
(What was the last thing you saw?)
(Hey EK)
((course, as a Lial I could probably just Command them to give us free stuff...))
Oy, the laptop reset itself. Dunno why.
(WEll...your father DOES owe me payments. >:))
Anyhow, last thing I saw... salesmen, I think.
(I'll just repost what I said.)
* Estrain nods. "I'm Desil Estrain, of the Notos Branch of the Lial Company. This is Raza Lial - you should know who she is. The heiress of the company."
(Then Raza said Jack and friends were with us too.)
((yep))
(Oh, and Kul'Vier sized them up for some reason.)
(Actually, he was sizing up the greatswords.)
(Oh. That makes more sense)
* Nice Salesman blinks, bows, and stutters out "O-of course. I'll have to ask you to see my manager, then."
* Raza nods. "Hurry along. I want to see if this store has the latest fashions."
He walks over to a pillar, and manipulates some telegraph-like device. Two minutes later, another fellow, his vest loosley done, finds the salesman and his, uh, customers.
So what's the problem now, Ollie?
"Didn't your father agree to update my 'fashion' when available as part of my term of services?" He glaced at Raza.
These fellows're with the Notos branch. In fact, the lady is the daughter of our owner...
* Raza shrugs. "I wasn't there when he hired you, or else I would've required he make you bathe first," she mutters at Kul.
* The Manager sizes them all up, Raza especially.
\!roll 1d100
(grr x 23)
(Other channel. :P)
(And typo!
(Yep.)
Okay. You look like her, yeah. But how do I know you're actually, you know, *her*?
You could just be some pretty girl looking for a quick discount.
*Kulvier comes lumbering over, standing just behind her* (Intim)
* Estrain sighs. "What proof do you need?"
"Do you doubt her? I was hired by her father personally..." (Intim successful)
* Manager desides that two tough guys and the looks will do it.
Okay, okay, she's the real deal.
"A Dark Knight is NOT an easy think to employ. Nor do I have reason to lie."
* Manager tries to ignore the DK. He's juggling numbers in his head now.
!roll 5d5
"And I'm willing to provide any identification you need, so long as it doesn't signifigantly delay us."
(./..I hate this.)
"You're gonna give them a discount right? And I want to see your fur coats."
(Reflexes hard to come over, huh? :P)
"Well, the usuall emplyee discount is 10%... I think I can bump that up to 15% off whatever you want. Anything more than that and I don't even break even.
"15%? Not bad Raza. Fire armor..." He point from the manager to the armor.
* Raza thinks for a moment. "That's more than generous. Thank you."
(Everything available, 15% off and a boatload of gil in comparison to your level. God help me.)
(That, or The One Thief needs to come back.)
((lol))
(Heh. THink i'll be able to get Fire armor AND a Serpent Sword?)
(If not, I'll go for the sword. :D)
* Estrain picks up a boomerang, jet black with a white cresent moon on the left blade. He rubs a finger across the boomerang, inspecting the black clinging to his finger. "Hmm. A blinding enchantment, correct?"
(Blackout boomerang, in case you can't tell)
((we can buy Rank 2 equipment?))
(I dunno, how much does that all cost?)
(If you chad the cash you could go rank 7 or 8.)
(*had)
(A discounted Blackout is 586 gil, rounded down.)
(I have 621.)
(Good. You get a Blackout.)
(Happy?)
(I don't have the Wiki open, nor my calculator - it's too far away for me to reach from my bed. So I can't verify just how much this is gonna overpower you.)
(It's 3*STR, Blind Touch.)
(That'll do it. and you're backing it up with your other 'rang... Oy.)
(A sin I can't get a Buster Sword)
(A bit of a step up from my 2*STR startings. Got it mostly for the Blind.)
(indeed.)
((I want, a Snow Robe, Serum Wrist and Red Hat))
(Can you pull it off?)
((Should come to 489 w/ the discount))
(Do you need to get all the special equipment?)
(Can't you get a level 2 robe instead?)
((want me to?))
(Hmm... 714 gil)
(Thunder Robe, with the discount)
((I only have 523))
(Well, that's out, then...)
(How much I got?)
(400-ish?)
(...crap, I'd have to log into yahoo again.)
(440.)
(*nod*)
(What level is everyone?)
((2))
(.... Yes. A buster sword at level 2 is Unbalancing. I've seen it happen.
(yeah.)
(A Triangle Hat is... 624, with discount...)
(So've I.)
(I have 35 gil left over. That's 550...)
(Can you spare 60 gil, Gale?)
(Yes)
(Should be able to get a Serpent Sword and spare that...)
(Shopping: Making it look like the GM is GMing since 1975.)
(But you need to convince Kul to cough it up. :P)
(She's his employer. :P)
((Yup, whether direct or indirect, and she's the queen of these situations :D))
(So. Serpent Sword, Blackout, Triangle Hat?)
(Or something else?)
(Yeah. I guess)
* Jack is wandering around the Swallows section... "Ooooh, hey, a Gravestone!"
"WEll...you might want to buy your own. I'm only contracte to protect Raza's life."
(Moryssa? What do you want to get?)
*Kulvier layed his Iron Sword on the counter* I'm selling this back...
(Ooh, selling!)
((I'll just get the Triangle Hat, a pack of Holy Arrows and a pack of Darkness Arrows))
* Jack doesn't get it, but he's too busy looking at the Stillblade. "Hm... If'n I get rida my Sidewinder, then maybe."
(I forgot about that! :))
((How much higher can we sell our stuff for?))
(Heh.)
(40 for the Boomerang, 40 for the cap, 75 for the Iron Sword... Assuming no raise in selling.)
(155 gil.)
(Wanna try to sell it back for extra?)
("Signature Series" or something?)
(<.<)
(If we can...)
((Lol, yeah.))
(Go for it.)
(But Raza, don't think we have enough for both arrow types.)
(Pick one)
((Darkness))
(Don't I basicly have that element covered?)
((Wait, we're pulling all our money together, right?))
(Let's see...)
((No, it's Blind status))
(e_e If you wanna TRY to get the money pouch from Kul's belt, be my guest> >:))
(1060 for Kul'Vier and Desil, Agt wise. Raza, you have 520, right? That's 1580...)
((right))
(155 for the sold stuff.)
(1060?)
(1735)
(Is that my gil????)
(No.)
(That's Desil's and Kul'Vier's, pooled)
((altogether, because as your employer, Raza is making an executive decision :P))
* EK|GM loves this. A lot. His only problem is that he isn't a player himself... But don't worry about Jack and Mitzu. They're actually a teeny bit ahead of you, so they're fiiiiine.
* Kulvier kills Jack and Mitzu for looting rights. Lol
(You wanna try for it, go ahead.)
(Naw. i'm not evil. :D)
(314+586+624, costs.)
