Tidings, Viasha. If it’s arcane goods you’ve come for, I’m afraid you’re too late. Someone turned us in to the House of Wisdom, and the damned mages confiscated everything!

The Empire gives with one hand and takes with the other.

But, if you're in need of some general goods, I could surely use the Diyuul...

*[npc_0] laughs unpleasantly, a mix of insult and confusion crossing his face.*

Do you really think I'd ever sell to you again? You betrayed me...

You accepted those items, and all you did in return was double my fine.

If True

Between this and losing Jazemae...

*The owner develops a crazed look.* I have nothing to lose by taking my revenge on you!

If False

If it weren't for my wife, I'd kill you where you stand.

Leave. I don't want to see you in here anymore.

Greetings, Viasha. I must inform you the market’s taken a turn, and my prices have risen.

Now then… was there something you needed?

Hello, ameki! I saw you turn away that Enforcer hanging around the front of my shop.

You can scarcely imagine the burdon you've freed me of.

As long as you shop here, you'll never pay full price for a good, and I'll make sure you get access to our full inventory.

  • I'm trying to buy items of a more <i>arcane</i> variety. I heard you're the man that can help me.

    If false

    Arcane, you say? No, I’m afraid I wouldn’t know a thing about that. I keep tonics for vitality and salves for the joints - nothing more than plants and old village recipes.

    If I did have such things, I certainly wouldn't tell some outsider that walked in from the port.

    Would you like something from the display?

    Only when the player carries

    • (Lie)A companion of mine lies ill at the inn. The usual remedies have failed him, but I was told upon the pier you keep a restoration scroll.

      Requires a High check of Speech

      Ah, I see. Illness is no stranger here, and word of my stock has a way of drifting down to the pier. Very well - I’ve a scroll or two that might serve your friend.

      If you'd like to take a look, talk to my wife, Jazemae.

      When she's not here, you can usually find her in the market, up by the entrance of Akaga.

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • (Lie) I’m a reseller looking to stock up. I trade slates and scrolls with Bone Charmers and other cults. Worth it if I can cut out the Empire’s tax.

      Ah, I see. Then you’re not the first of your kind I’ve dealt with - word must’ve reached you through the trade routes.

      If you’re after my more esoteric wares, speak with my wife, Jazemae.

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • (Lie) I lost my trunk at sea. I'm in desperate need of Spell Slates and you're the only seller for miles. Please.

      Not unusual for a mage at sea I suppose... all right.

      I have a small stock. If you'd like to take a look, talk to my wife, Jazumae.

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • [Show Ledger] And I suppose you’ve paid the Empire’s due on these ‘special favors’ you’ve got written in the back of your ledger?

      Damn it all… should’ve kept that ledger under lock and key.

      All right - you’ve caught me. I move the odd spellscroll or enchanted blade when it keeps the doors open.

      So I’m asking you, Viasha… let’s just keep this between us.

      • And why, exactly, should I grant you such mercy?

        I… I’ve a wife to provide for. With the beacon dark, this was the only way I could keep pace with the Empire’s tax. Please, I beg you - don’t ruin me.

        Returns to the previous choices

      • I’ll let you walk this time - but see to it your dealings stay clean from now on.

        As you say. I’ll keep my hands clean... thank you.

      • I'm afraid my discretion comes at a price - and it sounds like you're short on Diyuul.

        You're right. I'm light on Diyuul with the lowered port traffic.

        What I can do is a hefty discount on arcane and general goods. What do you say?

        • I'd need some form of upfront, physical compensation.

          Very well. Take what savings I’ve managed to put aside… but speak nothing of this

          I hope your word is true… if the Empire hears of this, I’ll be ruined, and my wife with me. Let this stay between us.

        • I’ve no use for spell-slates. Show me something more fitting.

          I've more than spells - Enchantmented items, magic brews. Take a look and see.

          Returns to the previous choices

        • No.
      • You’ve lined your purse in the shadows. Now you’ll pay the Empire’s due, thief!
    • (Sales Ledger) I found your little <i>book of sales</i>. I suppose you’ve paid the Empire’s due on these ‘special favors’?
    • Of course, excuse me. Just common village gossip, I'm sure.

      Sounds like something the fisherman would make up when they've had a bit too much Koji. They hate all the merchants - call us pets of the Empire.

      Don't go around spreading such nonsense.

      Enough talk, then. Did you come for something honest off the shelves?

    (Beneath the Beacon's Glow) *The shopkeeper smiles.* For the [player_shortrace] who repaired the beacon and brought trade back to my door? I trust you to hold your tongue.

    If you wish to purchase from my more esoteric wares, talk to my wife, Jazemae.

    If True

    No. Not anymore at least.

    I gave that all up when Jazemae was killed... she never did like it.

    But that’s past now. You’re here for goods, aren’t you? I can set you up with whatever you need.
