A Mexican Trade Off

[Salamanda]

[ModNote: Salamanda was last seen here.]

*The Slezey Salamanda had returned to his stall (after getting his tradeing permit from the local court house) to lern there had been a bit of a sceen a young woman had apparantly tried to rob an Oriental looking fellow just in front of it.*

*Not the best advertisment for his establishment but be that as it may. Salamanda started his sales pitch.*

"Roll up, Roll Up, Rollll up Senoirs, Senoritas and of corse the little bambinos to."

"Come and See what I....THE GREAT SALAMANDA, have in store. For I am The Trader Most Magnifico and I stock only the finest goods, how you say in the realm."

"Spices and robes all the way from my own dear Mexico. Brillaint jewles, food, weapons it is all here Senouirs."

"Roll up and trade with The Great Salamanda for I am The Trader most magnifico and I never fail to satisify!!"


*Out the corner of his eyes Salamanda saw a stanger pair approching his stall.*

[Raven]

*Raven looks at the stranger and raises an eyebrow. It is the first time she had seen a Mexican, and it is still a bit hard to beleive that this stereotypical character could actually BE a Mexican. Regardless she walks over with the Stranger*

[Salamanda]

"Ahhhh Senorita you wish to be the first customers of this fine day See?"

"And a how can The Great Salamanda how can he be of the assistance to you??"

*Salamanda smiled at Raven it was a over the top smile of well meening good natuer but gave away a bit to much of the Mexican's oily personality. Never the less he was a trader and Raven needed to trade.*

[Raven]

*Raven looked again at the stranger, and moved forward. She tries to remember what she was after before this whole escapade began*

Hi.... I need.. sickness pills.

*Raven frowns at what she just said and tries again*

Dungeon, Sickness Pills I mean. And Detect Powder!

[Young Grimwold]

*Suh Wok is no longer in the marketplace. While Raven was off talking with her mysterious new acquaintance, the trader must have regained consciousness, packed up his wares and fled, keen to avoid another confrontation with the angry dungeoneer. In his haste, he probably didn't even notice that he'd been robbed. [ModNote: Suh Wok is next seen here.]

However, some of the townsfolk are giving Raven suspicious looks as they pass by. If they recognise her as the thief and decide to speak up, things could get decidedly awkward. She may be best off finishing her shopping as quickly as possible. That is, if Salamanda will let her...*

[Shadow Voice]

*As Raven is busy engaging in comerse with Salamanda she dosen't notice Shadow Voice slip away back into the murky Shadows he had emerged from.*

*He has other buissnes else where....buissness conerceining the LOCKPICK potions he had just aqquierd.*


(OOC: Shadow Voice's buissnes takes place in A Shadowy Visit in Wolfenden Village)

[Salamanda]

*Salamanda grined polietly at Raven, but at the same time his mind was quickly sizeing her up. She fitted the discription given to him by his benefactor about possibal un-desierables and he knew what he was ment to do.*

"Ahhh yes Senorita The Great Salamanda he can assist you."

*Salamanda reached under his stall and brought out a bag that said DETECT on it.*

"Here is the Detect powder you seek, 12 Gold Coins and..."

*Salamanda reached into a colection of bottles on his stall. However what Raven didn't notice was the quick slight of hand that Salamanda preformed swapping 2 lables around one which said Sickness Pills the other said SLEEP.*

*He brought the bottole out and handed it to Raven*

"The Sickness Pills 10 Gold coins. So that 21 Gold coins in all Senorita."

[Raven]

*Raven passes the bag of gold to Salamanda, and takes the items. Casting a final wary eye at Salamanda (And privately smirking at the mexican) she steps away from the stall, and faces the Stranger. Only to find thin air*

Ah.... well...

*Raven reaches into her pocket and retreives the red ruby pendant*

TOM. TOM. TOM.

[Tom Troughton]

*As she speaks the final TOM, the Ruby pendant begins to glow and Raven begins to fade out of sight. eventualy she dissapers.*

*The Pendant homes in on its actual owner and transports Raven directly to him.......At least Thats the idea.*

(OOC: Continued in The Wolfs Howl "Slightly Off Course")

[Salamanda]

*Once Raven had dissaperd and he was appsalutly sure she was gone and that no one else was paying to closer attention. Salamanda quickly put a "Out For Lunch" sign on his stall, used a Safty spell he had recently purchesed to protect his stock. Reached under the stall and removed something wraped in cloth and dissaperd round the back of what was Catherine Barter's shop.*

*Makeing sure no one else was around Salamanda unwraped the bundle he was carrying to reaveal a Spy Glass.*

"It is time to notify my benifactor that The Great Slamanda he has arrived."

*Salamanda activated the Spy glass and waited.*

(OOC: Conversation takes place in "Bueno Senior Lord Fear" in Marblehead and Goth.)
