Exotic and Rare Goods for Sale

Greetings from afar!

Having visited the quaint little proper of Travance, I have already stirred the pot of interest.
I have, for sale, a variety of exotic materials not commonly found in many places of the world.

When I say exotic materials, I do refer to things such as the specially woven Venium cloth or Black Mithril from a cave protected by a cursed drider.
I must note that, yes, before you ask, I do have that material in stock. The only question you should ask is how much of that Malorne Wood or Rock Wyrm Hide you want to purchase.

I am also willing to buy unique and exotic items, just name your price and we can negotiate. Everything has a price.

Should you have any requests, make them quickly. I will be returning to my storehouses by the beginning of the next week to prepare for, hopefully, not my final journey here.

See you at the Crossroads,
-Lyrian

Lyrian,

It is good to see The Black Serpent in Travance once again. I'm sure I can think of a few things I'd like to throw my coin at that you can acquire. I'll pour through what I have and see if I have anything you may be interested in. Is there anything in particular you are looking for? I am disappointed that I was so busy this past moon that we could not do business. Hopefully that won't occur a second time. All my best to Vincent.

Ser Jack Cypher

It is unfortunate that you had to depart so soon after we met. I had only heard after the fact that you had an entire robe of venium, which is what I was after in the first place.
I will have to dig out my rare items, and we can talk.

Wait, if my eyes are to be believed, you mean to say that you may be selling Malorne wood!?
My interest has certainly been piqued.

Lyrian,

I'd be interested in any rare/exotic inks or parchment you might have. I'd like enough to make at least one tarot deck.

Ser Jack Cypher

Hello there,

By chance would you have any rare items from the frozen north? I am very interested in anything reminiscent of home. But the mention of that Malorne Wood also has me curious. What type of properties does it have, and how much is it?

Thank you kindly

You list off some very interesting materials, Serpent. When it comes to my personal projects, I deal in only the finest metals.

Your Black Mithril piques my interest, any similar alloy or shapable crystal in your stock would be similarly considered, as well as any fragments of an enigmatic nature you may have came upon. Payment should not be an issue, as I seek to see my people properly outfitted for the trying times ahead.

If you'd wish to set a deal ahead of time, my premises in Honor's Peak always accepts post. Otherwise, I will seek you out.

Sincerely,
Hengis Grumblegut
Warlord of Pendarvin

Da, I see a great merchant with things to make the world lap like the tongue of a dog. I would be interested in a few of the items mentioned. I will seek thee out when you are around.

I'm sorry for my first message, it seems I was not clear.
I don't deal in maybes or window shoppers.

When I return to my storehouse, I will be returning with a list in hand of the materials requested. I will not be bringing anything more than that, so please, do take care to have your requests posted.

I do not carry surplus.

See you at the Crossroads,
-Lyrian

Greetings,
I'm in possession of several oddities and unique items of Travance. I'm soley looking for Dark mithril. I express a desire to trade you for it in a mutually beneficial agreement.

Sir, you have promoted that you have many rare and valued materials. I am in the market for a metal or material that if forged into a weapon would be anti-magical in nature. Wytch Wood is not what I'm looking for. If you have any such material, I will purchase two units of it from you.

Thank you,

Again, I fear I must explain myself in simpler terms. When Vincent told me backwater, I assumed he was joking.

Yes, I have the material you want.
No, I will not provide a list of what I have. Browsers waste my time. If you want something, know what it is.
Yes, you must list to me exactly what you want to buy and how much of it or I will not bring the supplies.
No, your old components, "oddities" and trinkets are not unique or exotic. They are common.
Yes, when I say buy exotic items, I mean dragon parts such as bones and teeth, Maidens Circle Gold, Arcanum Tarot Cards and other such actually exotic and rare items.
No, I will not explain each product to you. If you know what you want, then you should understand the value of what I deal in.

I truly hope I am not wasting my time.

Alright,

I will buy two units of Maidens Circle Gold.

Thank you

Lyrian,

I will purchase one vial of ink or pigments that are supernatural in nature. Something similar to those utilized in making Arlindias Scrolls or Arcanum cards.

Ser Jack Cypher

Private Request sent.

Finally, a man with such earnest ambition. I am in need of many things, but I would not like my 1st order to be overbearing. So I would like 1 bar of black mithril. However, if you will be spending some time in the proper I would like to share some tea and discuss business. I am very curious about your guild, son.

With highest regards,
Mr. Sumner

Astrid,
Just letting you know, from what I know about Maidens Circle Gold it won't ignore magic. In fact with it's tie to Arawyn it is a degree of magic in nature. So in fact it is the exact opposite of what you are looking for.

Greetings Lyrian,

I am looking for parchment made of a wood that reacts well with or is capable of absorbing Arcane energy, enough to bind into a book. As you are the expert on such items, I am sure you can find something to fit my needs. I have an item of similar value you would likely be interested in.

It is good to see your Guild doing business here again. Send my regards to Lord Vincent.

Wyrdstone in the largest size you can acquire.
-Gregory

Venium cloth 1 bundle and I will be sending you a missive with an additional order

Magnus

Squire Caelvan,

Thank you for the information. However I would still like to buy two units of Maidens Circle Gold, due to its ties to Arawyn.

Private missive sent.
I hope to do business with you soon.

For those buying materials, please think before you purchase. These materials are extremely rare and valuable, some more so to specific people. You should not be purchasing something simply because you have more money than you know what to do with. I do not post this to hurt your business Lyrian, I just wish to make sure people aren't buying things "because of their connection to Arawyn." If you have a specific purpose and need for these materials (and know fully well what you are purchasing) then please, by all means buy them.

Sir Daniel McKraegar,

I did not know you were my personal financier? I'm sure these fine folk, as well as myself, can make their own decisions. Their gold, along with mine, should be of no concern to you. However, I believe this man Lyrian will provide you with anything you may need as is the purpose of this posting. If you would like to talk more about this, I will be in the proper this baronial feast.

Cheers,
Mr. Sumner

I thought this would be a great opportunity for Travance. If this merchant has the ability to procure some rare items, we should see what we can get. That way, the next time a great demon/devil/undead/monster comes along & we need some rare materials to enact the plan to help get rid of such... we will have it on hand.

I'm sure there's been a time we could've stopped some great calamity if only we had the rare component of the left hand of a righteous woman bathed in the tears of an angel in the light of a full moon during the summer solstice when there was a drought... or some weird thing like that.

With all due respect Sir McKraegar, what I do with my gold is no concern of yours. However there are reasons as to why I want Maiden's Circle Gold. My Father and Brother are both Druids. I've heard tales and know that it can destroy corruption. So the fact that there is a man selling a material that can better eradicate corruption on Arawyn is a boon, at least in my eyes. Why should I not take the chance to purchase it, if it will aid in the betterment of Arawyn?

Here is the problem with your writings, it is of concern to me as a knight of these lands as well as an Artificer.

Guards, please charge Astrid and Mr. Sumner with besmirchment of a noble.

It is a strange plaes waer wun such as I must teech another of words.

To besmirch is to foul wun's reputashun. It is to spred slander about him.

It wud be besmirching you, sir McKraegar, if I were to call you honorless or cowardly, or tell others you wer, as thees arr both lies.

I fael to see how your reputashun is injured by either Mr. Sumner or my wife telling you that they can spend thaer gold as they plees.

I would much rather speak of this in person at this coming baronial feast.

-Mr. Sumner
