Baldur's Gate - Dusty tome - Note on a tree at the Wide

[InGame]

A bald and broad man wearing plate armor and steel grey cloak wanders around the market one late evening with a note, hammer and nail in hand. After a good moment of thought and stroll he makes his way under a tree and nails the note on it. Same tree where a certain minstrel plays his flute. He then moves on to browse the market as he so often does. Should anyone read the note it would state the following.

This day, 22 Nightal, I have a sealed tome for sale. Possibily containing a name of an Outsider. Place your bid here. It begins at 10 bags .I will come back in a tenday and remove this note. You can then find me at Elfsong Tavern. Ask the barkeep for Jarek.

[Louvaine]

Upon his next arrival in Elfsong Jarek would be notified of an offer of 12 bags of gold made by Corneille de Locke assuming book would be in readable condition and as he put it would not be spoiled by greasy fingers.

[zhazz]

The red-headed stuttering artist known as Adrian Baker makes a stop by the three. Reading through the notice, and seeing the offer already made, he leaves one of his own. Offer of 30,000 gold made he continues on with his day.

[InGame]

Jarek makes his way under the tree after a stroll in The Wide. After a brief look at his note he hums and turns to the mistrel, Flogio. He grabs a handlful of gold from a bag under his cloak and tosses the coin in the tip bucket in front of the flutists. He then leaves the musician with a nod of head.

[BDobolina]

A burly and bearded fellow, dressed in woodsman's clothes and wearing a Rocky Creek brooch, makes note that Jackard Marks would offer forty thousand coin-weight in gold for the tome.

He inquires whether there is any indication as to the subject matter of the book as well.

[Vurk]

A man in dark and dusty full plate looks the parchment over before marking himself for a 50,000 weight.

[zhazz]

The red-headed stuttering artist returns to the tree, and reads through the offers given since his previous visit. Sighing a bit at the increasing cost, he marks down an offer for 60,000 gold.

[Vurk]

The man is dusty plate, grumbling a few curse words, Mark's himself down for 75,000

[InGame]

Jarek walks under the tree again to study his note. He takes it down and slowly tears off the winning bid. He then puts up a new notice and attaches the torn piece of the old note on it. He then walks off with a content smile on his face.

Winning bid is 75,000. Come and meet me in Elfsong Tavern so we can trade. Ask for Jarek.
