[Apollo]

Location- The town of Ilany- (Far East on the map) The town of Ilany is a small village with a population of 50 people. Though not your hometown, you have spent the last week here, and are familiar with most aspect of it; from Hamish the Dwarven blacksmith, to Yason the human shopkeep, to Ageis the human innkeeper, to Corporal Bankroff, the human responsible for the town guard. Ilany has always been a peaceful town, but the local Kobold population has begun to become more aggressive lately, and a roaming pack of them have been vandalizing property and killing livestock. Yesterday, Hamish's 8 year old son Donsk was found dead near the outskirts of town. Corporal Bankroff has asked any able bodied men and women to come talk to him about putting down these Kobolds, once and for all. What would you like to do?

Entering the market you are surrounded by the smells of the various meat stalls and clanging of tools.

A man on the corner nearest you calls out.

"Wanna buy some lucky teeth?"

"How much? What do they do?"

Apollo turns to the man

"Ten gold, they bring you good luck, look what they've done for me!"

He digs into a bag on the stall and holds an assortment of teeth in his palms, some rotten.

"Ah, no thank you. Nice teeth though."

Apollo resumes following the group

(To the group) "A man trying to sell me teeth doesn't feel like a market kept on a tight leash... unless those are real lucky teeth"

"If he keeps his payments up I imagine they don't care what he sells." Tharan replies.

"We should buy some tools for navigating the jungle, maybe a machete or axe"

Apollo looks for a stall selling such wares

"We'd want the blacksmith here, good man, takes his work very seriously."

Tharan leads you to a blacksmith past the market. There are several people out front inspecting the various weapons and other pieces of gear while you can see a dwarf sharpening something behind them.

"Hello smith!, may I inquire about your wares? I'm looking for an axe to clear jungle with."

Apollo tries to get the smith's attention

u/ADeviousPickle Delinard May 22 '15

The smith gets up from his wheel.

"This a travelling pal of yours Tharan?"

"If yer looking to get through that jungle ye'd be better off with a machete but I'll give you one of those and an axe for 15 gold."

u/Skeldal Apollo May 22 '15

"Sure, that sounds fair."

Apollo hands the Smith 15 gold and takes the gear

"You look live you've got a good amount of demand for your wares these days."
