Bringing the sword to one of the more respected merchants, and one that is capable to discern or detect magic from items, Panlos places the longsword before them, and awaits a response. With some flare, the merchants discerns the value of the sword, creating a small commotion. Panlos acts with equal surprise. The merchant, attempting to gain from quick shrewdness, places a sack of coin before the Hin, hoping to make a deal. But Panlos reads in the merchant that what he has found is of more value than just coin.
Finding a spot among the merchants within the courtyard, Panlos lets it be known what he now brings to trade, within this marketplace. Panlos is immediately upfront that he is a Hin, and such a sword is not sized to his use. He needs something of a shortsword, and would trade for one of equal worth. Still, with shortswords of great worth hard to find along the Sword Coast—something Panlos is keenly aware of...—he says that should a person be able to offer him an item that would benefit one of his kind, that being a Pawfoot, a Hin that takes many forms, he would consider it.
Panlos also says he can only stay at the Friendly Arm for a bit less than a Tenday, so...the window is only open for so long, before he takes his ware and moves along.
