[ModNote: Continued from H.O.Nesty.] *The man looked like someone the people of Wolfenden knew and yet he didn't. He rolled his cart into the Market square and stopped in an empty space. They all gave him a funny look then one walked over to him." "Excuse me sir?" "Yes My Good Man. What can I do for you this fine Morrning?" *The voice was rich and full and deffinatly unfimiler but it still reminded him of someone.* "I just thought I'd come over to warn yer. This is not a good place for a stall to be put up." "Oh and why might that?" "Well The last bloke who had is stall here was a criminal called Edward Deal. He was hanged a couple of days ago and well it might stier up some trouble of the spiritual kind if his space is taken over an we have seen enough of Mr Deal thank you very much." *Did the strangers eyes flare a bit when the name of Edward Deal was mentiond?* "I see. Well don't worry I have some holy water with me I'll sprinkle some of that around the stall to ward of this Mr. Edward Deal, By The way what did he do to get hanged?" "What didn't he do. Traded in Illegal powder's, set the local Inn on fire, assualted a young Elf maidern, Killed a fellow who tried to help her & aliied him self with the local assasin guild." "I see he sounds like a very unplesent fellow." "I that he was sir an no mistake. Well I must be off. Make sure you do sprinkle that holy water or god knows what might happen. Goodbye Mr........ Err I just relised I never found out your name?" "Hmmm.... Oh, Nesty. Henry Oliver Nesty at your sevrvice." *He smiled and bid the man good day, then after sprinkeling the holy water around the stall seteld down to wait for what would be his first ever coustomer in Wolfenden or would it!*

*FrightKnight walks, after a reasonably jovial drink at the crazed Heifer, back to the marketplace* (To himself) Ah. At last. I wondered whether there was anybody at this stall. Last time I checked nobody was here...apparently something was happening at the church... (To the trader) Greetings. I wonder if you are capable of sword repairing. You see, after an unfortunate accident during one particular encounter, this sword of mine broke in half, and now is practically useless. I wonder if you could fix it, or if it is preferable to replace it altogether? *FrightKnight looks at the trader and notices nothing unusual* (OOC: FrightKnight only got to see Deal from adistance. Previously, he had only heard of him as being an opposition trader, and never got to meet him personally. Hence no nagging deja vu)

*Frightknight may not reconise or know Edward BUT Edward knows who he is.*
"Certainly sir. I could supply you wit a new sword."
<In a low wisper so only FrightKnight can hear.>
"Always a pleshure to help out a fellow member of The Opposition." *Winks*
<Out Load again>
"Yes sir I have just what your looking for right here."
*He gose under his stall and pulls out a sword and sheithe. The sword has a gold plated handale the shieht is Green In colour.*
"Belonged to a Greenwarder Once but when she.......RETIERD and took up permiant resdences UNDER Mt Fear I aquierd it."
"Userwal price is 15 silver pieces But because of our mutuwal freind I will give it to you for 11."

*FrightKnight smiles when he hears that conveniently the new trader here is also from the opposition. He also smiles at the wit shown by this new trader when referring to the Greenwarden*
Seeing as 11 silver pieces for a new sword alone seems a good price, I'll pay without any need for bartering.
*FrightKnight delves into his suit of armour pockets and comes up with 11 silver pieces, noticing how in fact there isn't a lot of money altogether*
Here you go...by the way, trader, what is your name? You seem to be pleasant enough from my point of view...
(OOC: i.e. a FrightKnight's point of view, of course.)

H..O...Nesty...great trolls, that name sounds odd, if you don't mind me saying so. On the other hand, I'm called FrightKnight, so I'm hardly better.
How long have you been in this business of trading then, Mr Nesty?

Hmm, no doubt he was trying to replace the departed Edward Deal, and quickly.
So, what else do you have on this stall here?

"All sorts."
"Take this suit of ammour. I aquired this from a Knight. Sir Hugh I Think his name was, or something like that. Wounder what ever happend to him? Last I saw of him were some nice people takeing him to meet a Lord F."
"OR. This set of Pan Pipes. I got these following a spot of buissness with a Cavern Elf who needed to depart this place in a hurry. Well I took this as payemt for arranging for some one to come and "Collect" Her."
"I also have a lot of scrolls with very usefull spells on."
"Take this one for example this is the spell TRANSFORMATION. What could be more usefull when confrounting an enemy."

These all sound excellent, especially the spell (OOC: No it doesn't ;D, but I like the wit here... ). However, I think this sword will do just fine, along with the shield...

Yes, I hope you end up getting good business, Nesty, and I hope to see you again...
*FrightKnight leaves with a new sword and shield*
This looks really quite nice...not quite the one I saw that other time, but that was probably a magic sword, or too expensive.
*FrightKnight practises a few combat manuveroures away from the crowds, so as not to provoke anyone*

*Trying to slice a melon in half, Frightknight is shocked and appalled to discover the sword breaks up into 4 pieces. This isn't bad luck. This must be a faulty sword.*
I do NOT believe this!
*FrightKnight trudges back to the marketplace, ready to purchase once more*
(OOC: Sorry about this, Ed Deal if you wanted the matter closed, but this is quite important for another plotline eventually....I'll continue tomorrow, when I'm not so sleepy)

[ModNote: Continued from A drink with an ogre.] *At this point, Young Grimwold arrives. He sees FrightKnight dejectedly holding the pieces of his sword.* Oh dear. Unless you were aiming to purchase a set of badly-shaped knives, it looks like you've had a bad deal. And bad deals like that really MAKE ME ANGR... *YG realises that his ogrishness is slipping out. He stops, breathes, murmurs a monastic meditation chant, and then continues.* As we Latinists say, Caveat Emptor. Let the buyer beware. Perhaps I could accompany you back to the seller's stall, to help make sure that you get a decent product this time.

Ah, Grimwold, I suppose, if it would help me get a better deal... *Walks along with YG to marketplace*
