Pre-ramble to the big boom

November 5, 2000

Gaederon enters the Smith Booth.

Smith Booth
The inside of the booth is packed with shelving, displaying the various things that are sold here. Along The back wall is a rack, which contains several new flamethrowers which are for sale. There is a stool and desk by the window so that the supervising Master can monitor both the booth and the events going on as well. Above the door is a sign which reads, "Please contact a smith Master for help purchasing an object."
You notice Display case and Smith Journeyman Goarin (NPC shopkeeper) in the Smith Booth.
Asleep in the Smith Booth are Myra and Dale.
Niyati and Natali are in the Smith Booth.

Hungry Appies

Gaederon enters with a question, "Any of you hungry? I have some spiced meatrolls and a few regular ones." He sets the wrapped food items down and then pulls a skin from his shoulder "And juice, if you want."

Natali shakes her head "No thank you...I'm not too hungry..." she says, in response. Yeah, she's not hungry because her tummy is full of butterflies as she gets to teach her first lesson in just a little while. Where's the masters? Did they set up the flamethrowers for her? Wat if they didn't? Then what is she going to do? What if something goes wrong. Oh, she's just a nervous wreck!

Niyati jumps, having had her back to Gaederon when he entered. "Wha? Oh, food." Yep, she's observant. "Yes, I am a bit, but I have to finish cleaning this shelf off before I do anything, don't want dust keeping our profits down."

Gaederon nods "All the tramping about out here in the courtyard does stir up the dust. A good sprinkle is all it would take to hold it down though, and drive people into the booths, out of the rain, and their marks into our pockets." he winks at Natali "You look a bit nervous journeyman, is there something I should be concerned about?"

Natali rolls her eyes "Please, just Natali is fine....a bit nervous? Yeah, I guess you could say that....nothing really that you can help with unfortunately..."

Niyati spots the breaded concoctions and grins, taking one up as soon as her dusting is done. A bite is taken and she sighs, sitting back and chewing before speaking again. "Wonderfull... just like I used to get back home." Homesick? Nah, just missing the food. "Maybe I should ask to be put into the kitchens as one of my chores.. everyone should try these at least once." Natali is given a glance. "Nervous? What about?" Talk about tact.

Natali shakes her head "Oh, nothing really...I'm just getting worked up over nothing, really.." Is it really that noticable? Wuick, resume normal state!

Gaederon nods at Niyati's comment "Well, I went to the same tent and asked for the man you mentioned, gave him your name and he made them the way you like. Mine are hotter." he holds out two more he has wrapped up and sets them down, removing the covering and sits to eat. "You can always have one later Natali. The spiced ones are very hot, but the others are regular. Very jucy for a meatroll." He then takes the skin and looks about for glasses or mugs to pour.

Reighan enters the Smith Booth.

------------------------------------------------------------
Reighan (#19266)
Gender: male
Title: Smith Senior Apprentice

------------------------------------------------------------

Reighan looks around for a few moments, nodding to everyone before sitting down

Natali squirms at the thought of spicy meatrolls "I think I'll just have a normal one later...I don't take spicy foods very well...thanks for the offer..." turning her head slightly, she senses movement from the corner of her eyes, and gives a wave as she makes out the form of a fellow smith "G'day!"

Gaederon nods at the other smith senior apprentice. "Gaederon, and you?"

Reighan quietly says, "Reighan.." before sitting down out of everyone elses way

Niyati is still munching on one of those spiced rolls, not so much inhaling it anymore. Reighan is given a nod and, after swollowing, she gives her name: "I'm Niyati." She offers, not adding her title but, instead, muching on the roll.

Dragon Cards Anyone?

Gaederon looks at Reighan "You got any dragon dice, or a dragon deck? Be good to have something to do to pass the time before the crowds flow in."

Reighan reaches into his pouch and pulls out a dragondeck

Reighan drops Reighan's Dragon Deck.

Reighan gathers up all the cards and starts a new game as the dealer.

Reighan deals Gaederon into the Dragon Poker game.

Reighan examines his hand.

Gaederon smiles at the other apprentice "You looked to be someone who would have some. Thanks." He examines his hand.

Reighan looks around, "anyone else want dealt in?"

Your hand is: Five of Crafts, Six of Weyrs, and Seven of Crafts.

Niyati shrugs as she munches the last of her roll and then moves forward. "I'm willing, as long as you don't mind loosing to a girl?" She teases, pulling her hair away from her face.

Reighan deals Niyati into the Dragon Poker game.

------------------------------------------------------------
Brellan (#18745)
Gender: male
Title: Keroon Beasthold Manager
IC Age: 21 Turns, 2 months, and 11 days
------------------------------------------------------------

Niyati examines her hand.

Your hand is: Seven of Crafts, Six of Holds, and One of Crafts.

Reighan examines his hand.

Reighan takes his new cards.

Niyati looks over at Brellan as he enters and, forgetting the game, speaks up. "Hello, sir. If you need anything, please feel free to ask someone." There, friendly enough, right?

Gaederon glances up at the newcomer ahd folds his hand, setting it down. He stands and declares, "Knives and other metal items are in the cabinet, glasswares to your left, wood to the right. I believe I also saw some jewelry and things of that sort in a smaller case when I came in."

Brellan nods at the apprentices, obviously enjoying a hand of cards. "Just looking for a knife thanks." he wanders about looking at this and that, and settles on the cabinet.

Niyati hrmphs at Gaederon, muttering "Show off" to him under her breath and just loud enough for hearing, and gives a chuckle before sitting back and trying to look completely innocent. "I'm sure one of the males can help you." Poor, dejected, trodden upon woman.

Reighan glances at the others, "call?"

Gaederon nods and says "There is a good selection sir. Perhaps the journeyman could open the cabinet and let you select one." he looks again at his hand.

Niyati examines her hand.

*Natali picks up flamer rack.

Your hand is: Seven of Crafts, Six of Holds, and One of Crafts.

Natali tosses the keys over to Gaederon "Here you go...I have to go set up..." sneaky, isn't she? hehe...

Natali leaves the Smith Booth to join the rest of the Gather.

Brellan looks at Natali "Yes, this one with the solid looking hilt, please." then grabs the keys in midflight "You are far too trusting." he says in a dark undertone.

Niyati stands and placs her hand down, stepping forward just a bit with an extremely calm smile on her face. "The keys, if you please sir? I'm sure that we have all learned a most valuable lesson." Her tone simply oozes with sweetness as she moves forward slowly.

Brellan hands Niyati the keys. "Very well miss. If you would not mind."

Samhain has arrived.

------------------------------------------------------------
Samhain (#1241)
[feline]
Owned by Niyati.
He is 2 months and 15 days old.
------------------------------------------------------------

Reighan picks up Reighan's Dragon Deck.

Reighan steps away for a while.

Niyati drops Samhain.

Samhain meows.

Gaederon holds out the knife for Brellan to examine. "As you can see, it has been crafted skillfully, and ..." he stops, and looks down "A feline?" he asks, curious. "Yes, as I was saying, it is made of the finest iron, and has been tempered and sharpened. You can also obtain a sharpening stone to maintain it in the best condition. A bit of oil on the blade now and then would not hurt."

Brellan nods "Yes, yes, I know about knives. I will take it... How much?"

Niyati looks down at the feline and then bends, petting the young animal and handing it a bit of unspiced meat roll center. "Oh look.. poor dear, it's practically starving." She sees cute, run while you still can. "Well, this won't do.. I suppose we just have to deal with a feline now."

Gaederon nods and gets down to the barter,"Two and a half marks, sir."

Brellan raises an eyebrow "That's a bit steep for such a small blade, son. I won't give more than one and a half for it." he begins to turn away.

Gaederon calls out "Two marks?"

Brellan turns quickly "One and three quarters, last offer."

Gaederon nods "Very well sir." he hands the knife over

Niyati places the kitten into a small crate with strips of cloth and places a bowl of water and another of torn up meat bits down before it.

Niyati leaves the Smith Booth to join the rest of the Gather.

You hand Gaederon's Generic Knife to Brellan.

Brellan pays you 1 mark.
Brellan pays you 3/4 mark.

Gaederon nods "Pleasure doing business with you sir." he says, as the man turns to leave.

Brellan leaves the Smith Booth to join the rest of the Gather.
