"I won't take anything less then eight gold, thirteen silver, and ninety copper for helmet!" He states to the man standing across the table from him. The looted plate helmet resting upon the table, he had polished it the other day.
"I'm only going as high as seven gold, fifteen silver, and seventy copper! If you won't take it, I'll spend my money else where." The would be buyer says.
He mentally snorts at that threat, currently they're in a make shift settlement and most of those here thought themselves lucky if they had returned at night with wild game or fish. There's pretty much nobody in the settlement who has much in the way of spare equipment that they are willing to part with, not matter the amount of coin, which is rather profitable for Asa and himself as they were looking to sell what they have collected from raiding various Orc war parties.
"Alright then, next!" Asa says but guy just growls and soon the amount they're asking is on the table. "Enjoy your purchase." The paladin says as he pushes the helmet towards the man before collecting the coins.
A elven priestess approaches the table next and asks, "What do you have for daggers?" Asa vanishes into the tent and after a few minutes, returns with a cloth bundle which they unroll on the table.
The sun elf picks up and examines those daggers sporting runes of spell cast boosting. "How much for the one sporting the antler guard dagger?" The priestess asks.
"Three gold, fifty silver, and nine copper." He replies, it was cheap because the edge needs to be sharpened. "The one with the mink sheath is six gold, seventy silver, and ten copper."
The priestess take a look at the one he mentioned and she counters, "Four gold, thirty silver, and ninety copper." Taking the dagger, Asa rolls up the cloth and they begin to dicker over the price.
He settles for five gold, forty-five silver, and fifty copper. The coins go into the chest that's next to him while Asa calls for the next customer. The next person wanted to sell this mace with a broken handle or at least put it against buying a new one from them, which wasn't that surprising as they could find a wood carver to create a new handle rather cheaply.
They closed up shop mid day in order to have lunch. They split up as they each wanted to do something before returning to re-opening up their 'shop'. Kero finds himself seeking out a herbalist to pick up some dried herbs for a potion he wants to make.
A cluster of young women and girls weaving flower crowns sit about gossiping before the hut. They which to harsh whispers at his approach, he didn't look much like a wizard but that is intentional considering the 'business' is something one would expect from a rogue more then a wizard. For some reason, he feels a slight case of embarrassment and resentment by the way he's being eyed.
Entering into the tent, he finds the herbalist penning something into a rather thick looking book that had been in a fire. He can tell by the burnt marks and he could only guess at what pages had needed to replaced. "You got my money?" The disgruntled gnome asks and he nods.
Taking out a pouch filled with the amount, he tosses it onto the table top, it gently comes to a stop by the book top. "Here's a bonus for your troubles." He adds after catching the package the gnome tossed at him, this other pouch contains about five percent of the original payment.
With their business over, he leaves the tent but before leaving the site, turns and asks, "What are the flower crowns for?" He is rather curious despite himself.
"Oh, for the festival, sir! According to the priests and priestesses, it's to be a fertility festival at that!" One of the younger girls chimes as a reply.
"Oh? I would have thought now would be an odd time to hold such a gathering..." He murmurs with a slight frown. "Thanks." Kero states, nodding before continuing on his way.
He arrives at the tent and with a nod to the neighbors, honest folk who had been making sure nobody tried to steal from the tent. Kero checks his wards for tampering before sitting at the table, taking a book from a small pile. They were just novels and religious scripture, not many people looking to purchase such things but they keep them on hand none the less.
When Asa appears, he puts the book down. A line of adventurers forms once more, most look rather impatient about all of this, likely new arrivals to the refugee camp. It likely didn't help that they couldn't find another place to hawk their loot or to buy replacements.
"Would the first person please approach the table?" Asa asks and so they continue their business.

Kari
The settlement only possesses five family names, each being descended to five brothers. Not that she finds any of their history to be very interesting, mostly what interests her is that they were entrusted to guard something by a gold dragon. And whatever it is, might just help in finding the dungeon we need to enter to end this game.
Slinking towards the wall while in animal form, she's glad for the family feud that is slowly stirring within the human settlement. With evening coming, most of the locals are busy heading home to have dinner or get dinner prepared. The settlement possess walls about the heads of the five families, these are manned by members of that family while the final walls encircling about the settlement are manned by members of all five of the main families.
Ren trots along the wall that encircles the settlement. Her ears flickering at each and every sound as she sorts through each smell. She's relieved to find her way in still open and quickly slips through, heading for the spot where she left Karren. I wonder if she finish making more of those arrows...
Upon seeing Karren up in a tree, she shifts into her hybrid form. "I found the vault." She states to her partner as she moves to climb up the tree.
"You think they have any Seers among them?" Karren asks while watching her climb up. As she gets within reach, the Shifter moves and helps her up the rest of the way onto the branch.
"If they had any, it's likely more geared towards watching their neighbors as they seem to be on the verge of a feuding among themselves." She says as she gets comfortable upon the branch, keeping a hand upon the tree trunk until she has a greater sense of balance upon the branch. "If we do this, we might want to engineer some kind of incident that would distract them while we sneak in and grab our prize."
As she takes something out to eat, they discuss plans to do just that.

"Ah... Why did you give me this?" He finds himself suddenly nervous as he turns to speak with the rather attractive elven priestess. A part of him felt very much out of depth with the very idea of thinking of . . . women in such a fashion and that other part of him was just nervous at the idea of . . . coupling with her.
Instead of answering, the woman pulls him in and they kiss, moving into her tent. Hands begin to move on their own while something primal engages in a very old, ancient even, dance that men and women have engaged in for generations.

Patamon
Asa finds at least five flower wreaths about his head while two hang from his left and another two on his right. He's not sure why these nine had been approached him while he was heading into his tent but it seems to dawn on a certain part of him while that part of him that is merely Patamon says, "Err, did you want to come into the tent?"
As he turns and leads the nine into the tent, he feels somebody slap him on his bum. As he turns around, he is pounced on by the women. As luck would have it, he hadn't been wearing his usual leather armor so it was just some cloth shirt and pants that were turns into rags. He is merely thankful of the fact that Kero had insisted that they put something down on the ground to act as a floor as neither his or Kero's bed would have held up to so much weight of the nine women and himself.

Matt
He pauses to look east and northward, a rather odd sensation kind of blooms within his breast. A kind of knowing envelops, leaving him to wonder just what caused him look off in that direction. With a yawn, he glances over to Wolfclaw, wondering if his partner experienced the same sensation as he had.
Wolfclaw glances his way before getting up and exiting out of the tent. With a sigh, he is sure to grab his weapon before following after. Exiting out, he find the sun has yet to fully raise up. The rest of the party seems to still be fast asleep, well, except for the sentry.
"You know, for a bard, I sure haven't heard any music from ya." Mutters Martin, likely a poke at Wolfclaw through him. He glances over to the rogue before shrugging.
"It never felt to be the time for music." Is his answer to Martin's question. "Although, if you insist, I can play you a song." He adds.
"Well then, why don't you go fetch an instrument and play us a diddy?" Martin says and with a sigh, he heads for his tent, being sure to get dress before grabbing his guitar. Exiting out of the tent, he is sure find a spot to sit comfortably before beginning to sing:

As he finishes, he hears some clapping and turns to find Sayna and the others standing before their respective tents. His face heats up at the positive response to the song. He didn't even want to wonder why he felt something heavy lifted off of his shoulders at seeing Sayna's smiling face.
