Trade Notice

Submitted by Robert T. on Wed, 7/29/2015 at 8:58pm

In need of several Spellbinder Silks.  Can trade in gold, jeweler, apothecary, or enchanter services.  See Swift in the Mage's Tower.  

Thimble was on her way to the mines, as she did most days between adventuring, when she noticed a paper had been posted to the town board. Before leaving for the mines on the outskirts of town, she often stopped to check the town board for anything new being either a notice/add/etc.. Reading over the paper, she remembered she'd picked up a few pieces after one of her adventures and never followed up with putting them in the bazaar. "Oh! I've got some and nor do I need them. Hmm... Mage's Tower. Okay!" Thimble turned her tail back towards her hut, grabbed the two pieces of Spellbinder Silks and darted towards to the Mage's Tower. Upon arriving at the tower, Thimble banged loudly on the front door. "Excuse me! I'm here to trade some Spellbinder Silks to a mister," she looked down at the name she'd written on her arm, "Swift!" Thimble exclaimed as she continued to bang on the Tower's door with her other hand.

Swift was busy dusting the upper bookshelves of the library when he heard a thumping sound.  Is that the front door?  Who knocks around here, he thought.  There was a loud mumbling of words afterward of which he only understood, "Swift!"
The tall ixifar slide down the ladder and sprinted to the door.  An emergency no doubt.  We was ready to dispense fiery justice or the healing hand upon opening the door.  Only to encounter....a gnome whose fist was frozen in midswing.
"Oh!  Hello.  The Library is open to the public.  You can come in."
(Swift is played by ikarafox.  We can continue to RP or go to messaging.)

"Thank you!" Thimble smiled and walked through the door and into the Library/Magic Tower. "Oo, I don't think I've ever been in here before... So many books, just like in Doomsend's library!" Now being easily distracted, she ran over to a shelf and examined some of the spines. "Hmm... Oh! Almost forgot, are you mister Swift?" She inquired, turning back around and looking up at the slender Ixifar man. "I saw your post and I happen to have two pieces of spellbinder silk just laying about. What've you got to trade?"

Swift sat and with a wave of his hand the table fizzled into a blue light.  A second later when the light cleared a tray set for tea for two appeared.  "May I offer you some tea?", he said offering a cup to the gnome.
 
"I can offer you 12 gold for both or in credit that you can use for me to make in jewelry or to enchant an item.  Or..." the Ixifar says taking a cup of tea of his own, "...I can trade you a hat."
 
Swift pauses and takes a sip.  "It is a leather hat made from Daydrinker.  It is of high quality and could also be enchanted in the future."

"Oo! This tea smells yummy." Thimble took a few sips while Swift spoke to her on trade arrangements. The hat one instantly exciting her, but realizing she already has a helmet with something jerry-rigged on to it. "Hmm... As much as I'd love a new hat, I already have a helmet I put over my hat. The gold sounds good enough though, do you have any other items you're not in particular need of?" Thimble gently set the empty tea cup on a table near by.

"12 Gold it is then." , says Swift as he looks at his empty tea cup.  "You know, every time I conjure this it tastes different."
 
Swift hands the little gnome 12 gold coins.  

Thimble reached into her pouch and pulled out the two pieces of spellbinder silk, that were neatly follded and held together with some twine mind you. She handed them to swift as she took the 12 pieces of gold. "There you go! I hope you enjoy them." She said with a smile before pocketing the gold. Thimble looked around the library/tower once more. "I'll have to come back some time and look at the vast collection of books you guys have! Thank you for the trade, I think I can see my way out." She said before heading for the large front door and back into town.
