Dusty Tome for auction - BG/FAI/Soubar [SOLD]

Unread post by Svabodnik »

A few billboards positioned outside Baldur's Gate, the Friendly Arm, and Soubar bear new parchment hanging from them, with shaky penmanship spelling fourth the following:
Recently recovered from subterranean holdings, I've come into the possession of an ancient tome of indeterminate contents. And thus, I seek a more deserving keeper willing to elevate the knowledge it holds from the forgotten to the known, and to help fund my future excursions.

Given the values offered for similar finds among the more recent postings, I feel confidant in requesting a minimum offer of half a hundred-thousand coins of gold. Those willing to match or supersede such, please make your marks below.

Binder's wisdom and safe travels,
Volga
((tl;dr: Looking to sell an unused Dusty Tome, opening offer 50,000 gp. Closing in 3 days. Thanks!))

The merchant Vaelen, once again seen in the region, replies to a few of the parchments while visiting the Friendly Arm Inn.

A tall man with a fur-lined hat is seen stopping by the notices, adding a few words in the same scratchy scrawl as the original lettering to the bottom of each.
Leading offer stands at 80,000 pieces of gold, and the new owner will be found in one more change of the skies.
((tl;dr: Will be closing in approx. 1 day))

The notices have vanished following one more visit from the lanky man.

((155k from Avanos (Farmer El), sending PM. Thanks!))
