{Wandering around the square, Beetle searches for the Guild Hall.} Does anyone know where I can find the… {They glance at a sheet of paper with some Dwarvish scrawled on it.} … “Adventure’s Hall”?

Some villagers point up the hill "Up there!" one spoke

Thank you. {They set out, admiring the city, and later woodland path on their way out.}

*walks into town. pouch of gold in hand. looking around the shops*

'Evenin ma'am, what can I do fer ya?

*takes the money and hands you the blade* An excellent choice.

*holds the sword* Thank you!

01:55

*puts sword away and hugs him tightly* Thank you! *then returns to the hall*

{Wanders up to the smithy.} Greetings, I’d like to get my axes sharpened.

Ello sir, sharpened ye say?

Yes please.

Right then.... 5gp a piece and i'll have those dull blades choppin dem heads off like a knife through butter.

{They pass the axes.} Appreciated, do you need some time? I still have to do some other things.

To shapen a blade? Nah, the old grindstone'll only take a moment....

05:17

*returns the blades to you* Good as new I'd reckin. Careful though, might be liable to lop your own digits off if yer not careful.

Your blades now have an increased damage of +1

I will be careful, thank you. {Straps them to their sides. Now they head to the potions shop.}

I'm telling you, we need to increase prices, Have you seen how much it costs to get by around here?

Yes, but we don't want to price them out.

Hello? I’d like to buy an alchemy kit. {Looks around.} And some guide books if you have any.

If we don't we're going to price ourselves right out of our home.

You do have a point.

05:23

It's 50gp. *turns to Liara* Still though, we have to be careful.

I know, I'm just saying, we have to do something.

{Sets a neat little tower of fifty coins on the counter.} There you go.

Thank you, have a nice day. *goes back to Liara* I know... we'll figure it out.

Did I hear you say you’re struggling with prices?

Yeah, land costs have gone up since the renovation, if we don't raise our rates, we won't be able to afford to keep the shop open and might have to move.

It's not going to happen, we'll figure it out..

You keep saying that, but how?

I don't know yet honey, but we'll make it.

{Beetles green eye lights flicker briefly. They then fish out their coin purse again.} Would you except some extra money?

05:30

{They hold out 100 coins in their palm.}

I love tips thank you, but it won't help long term. But still... 100gp is quite the help. Thank you. You mentioned a book or something?

You’re welcome, sometimes it’s all someone needs. {After re-pocketing the coin purse they answer the question.} Yes please. If you have any recipes, or guides I’d very much like to buy them.

05:32

I’m… very new to this.

Give the man your extra copy of intruduction to potion making.

I guess I could part with it.

*takes the book and hands it to Beetle* Here you go. Should get you started.

Liara!

You said yes,

didn't say you could just go through my stuff...

It's our stuff, we're married remember, and again, you said yes.

Whatever... *sits down*

{Handles the book with care. They then stare at it for awhile.} This is the first book I’ve held in years.

05:37

Thank you. {They then leave.}

{Waves to get a market stall keeper’s attention.} Excuse me, do you have any herbs?

What would you like?

Twenty pounds of medicinal and toxic herbs. If you don’t have poisons, that’s okay.

1g per pound of medicinal.

{The twenty coins scrape against their fingers as they hand them over.} What about the poisonous ones? The same?

We don't have poisonous herbs! How many people are going to ask me that?! Tell all your friends, I do. not. sell. those!

The young Tabaxi is right, Not much of a market for poison here. Outside of town, in some of the shadier areas.... one might find something like that. But any "repuatable" vendor wouldn't dare carry that....

{Flinches.} Oh… my apologies…

06:15

Could you point me in the direction of the enchantment services please?

*points you to the same shop you got your alchemy kit* (edited)

Oh… there’s a word for this situation, isn’t there? {Rubs metal chin.} Bironny? Irony?

Hmm?*she isn't aware you came from there*

I just came from there. {Their face creaks as they smile.} It’s a little funny.

You're right, that is ironic, isn't it?

So that *is* the word! {Snaps fingers to affirm.} Yes, it is. {They then turn and walk back over there.}

I haven't had a customer in days, and you say we're going to be fine. With the exception of the kit you sold and the tip, we've made barely enough to cover the cost of our shop this month.

I know honey. I know.

Hello again.

Hello metal man. Back again?

Yes, I found out that you provided enchantments too.

I provide the enchantments, Sly does the potions.

You can call me “Beetle”, if you wish.

Only because you asked me to and you tip well.

Liara!!!!!

What.... he does....

That is good. {Sets their backpack onto the table.} For 500 gold, could you make this bag capable of holding much more than normal?

Let me see what I can do.

Thank you. {They sit down, right there on the floor, and starts to read the book these two gave them.}

I can convert it to a Handy Haversack. It'll cost you less than the 500gp, carry 120lbs of materials, and act like a bag of holding. Only with less storage.

For reference, a bag of holding can hold 500lbs.

{Looks up from the book.} That will suffice, yes.

*makes the conversion and hands you back 200gp* There you are.

07:03

*looks at Sly* This should get us by a couple months.... And we can take the tip from earlier and we're okay... At least for a few more months anyway.

I told you it would work out.

{They take the bag.} …it feels lighter. {Slides it onto their shoulder.} Yes… this will do, thank you.

You're welcome.

{They get up.} I will be back sometime. Take care. {Beetle then leaves. On the way up the hill, they decide to rest under a tree next to the road for the night.}
