Grand Trade Wagon of the Goldhands - Baldur's Gate

Unread post by Karond »

Two bearded dwarves shout out across the street, taking every opportunity to call out citizens and visitors as they pass by their trade wagon:

"Step up step up, buy sell and trade goods of outmost quality! Best prices! Best quality! Best appraisals! Make the deal of a lifetime, today, with the Goldhands! Where else will you get that?! Only here in Baldur's Gate, only for a limited time! So step up ladies and gentlemen!"

// Gold accepted. Any items of some worth accepted. Trades including items take precedence. Bids that get accepted will be closed after 48 hours, with this post updated. Secret bids will be ignored. This isn't an auction. I'm in no hurry to rid myself of these items, I'm only trading them away if the offer is good enough.

The Khazark of the Thayan Enclave walks to the merchant, offering a bid on a longsword.

"I'll offer 200,000 coins, my good sir, for that sword."

A tall, dark haired, bearded man approaches and passes an eye over the wares. He points at several while speaking, "I'd like to bid 200 sacks on the helm. I must say, these goods are truly amazing!"

*Koryeneer walks up and seeing a full plate of mithril he ponders. He paces a bit as he looks at it and wonders. He quickly begins casting and casts sending. He then sits outside the trade area and waits until a wagon of goods shows up. As the wagon shows up he addresses the dwarf in his native tongue while handing him a fine ale.*

OI! Greetings honorable trader! I offer you my entire collection of goods I have found on my travels as an adventurer! Minus my spear collection of course! Now what would I want in exchange for such grand treasures you ask? Why that fancy suit of full plate there made from the finest mithril!

*his eyes hopeful for at least a lengthy discussion on it* I leave next move in your hands good dwarf!

*he quickly opens the back gate of the wagon and jewels pour forth onto the ground and glints of magical items can be seen as well.

*Kory seeing a chance to show more of his goods quickly snatches up a mithril piece of his own*

This is a fine bit of mithril armor I have here myself but not what I need!

*holds up a Swashbuckler's chainshirt it shines brightly in the light*

If ye be in an extra generous mood then that heavy shield that gives more ability to turn the undead would be a nice boon for this treasure as well!

*He smiles politely and waits for the dwarf to ponder his own answer*

////Kory is indeed offering his entire fortune in goods to get that Full Plate. Some items on that list include Rings of Might, Greater Bone Rotter, Greater Minotaur Axe, Swashbuckler's Chainshirt Lesser, Canary Diamond, Ruby, Jacinth and much more. It is three or so mules of stuff one filled with various assortments of items all worth a pretty penny for the merchant inclined. One of Kory's languages is indeed Dwarven as well. For RP reading I just put it in common.

Nikos Berenicous hearing the rumors about a wagon with high quality, makes haste to see with his own eyes. Upon inspecting the goods, a scimitar catches his eye.

"This one" Says while pointing to the sword
"400000 coins for this one"

A one-eyed dwarf greets the clan Goldhands in native dwarven tongue. A typical dwarven greeting is given, but the one-eyed dwarf seems to quickly get to the point—he singled out the Kama that is offered for sale or trade, then himself offers a trade of a ring made from rare, magical wood.

Any with affinity to the Druidic powers, or knowledge skills well trained, would recognize the artifact the one-eye dwarf offers as: Ring of Woodland Power: WIS +3; Spell Resistance 22; Druid Level 5

In addition, the one-eyed dwarf makes a mention—and an offer—for a ring on display, such that enables a more dextrous skill. The offer is 200,000 value in coin for the Ring (Ring +3 DEX, +2 Reflex Saves, +1 Hide, +1 Move Silently)

The three dwarves may or may not barter further....

A hooded woman carefully inspects each item before indicating two to the merchant.

A blue robed elvish woman takes an interest in the stall while she is on the way to her own.

"You have some very impressive wares here," she comments to the merchant as she looks over them.

"I would like to open the bidding for this cloak here though," she says and points to the one which boosts the intellect.

"Lets start at, hmm, 100,000 gold pieces? My name is Priestess Aeili from the temple of Mystra"

A woman in maroon robes and short black hair approaches the trade wagon set up and after looking at the items, she approaches the dwarves, "Good day to you both. May I place a bid of 250 000 gold on the beautiful ring and a bid of 20 000 on that helmet there?" The name is Telia Navra. She points at each of the items.

"Make that 280 000 gold, good dwaves," Telia states after Annaliza's bid, not looking at the woman.
