"Of course, I intend to pay when I've decided which items are of most interest to me. Surely you don't expect me to do so when I'm simply browsing and considering my options?"

THE SKEWERED DRAGON
Butler smiles "There a good lot, better than I was expecting really when I fell in with them, but we're still finding our feet with one another." he looks slightly uncomfortable for a moment and shrugs "I've had some.....losses in the past. I guess I'm just used to keeping most folks at arms length these days. Well, most of the time at least" he says to Cole with a grin, the ale making him loosen up a little.

The Old Xoblob Shop
"Just make sure it stays out of your pockets until you've paid for it!" the Svirfneblin spits back. He sits back down on his elaborate chair, watching Xelia suspiciously out of the corners of his eyes.
In fact, he's starting to look suspiciously at everyone now.

"Well friend, if you ever want to bring your mandolin back, you've got spot reserved."

"If you have some kind of bag or basket I could carry items in instead, that would be lovely!" Xelia gives him a warm smile that emphasizes the wrinkles and bits of grey fur around the outer corners of her feline eyes. She exudes trustworthiness. Surely someone of her stature would never need to steal.

Alastriona stares at the deep gnome with an expression indicating that Xelia's statement is so obvious, like any right-minded merchant ought to have such conveniences available without the customer having to say anything.

"A basket?" the grey-skinned gnome repeats, a look of surprise on his face.
"Why, I haven't had a person ask for a basket in... well, nobody has ever needed a basket before!" he stammers greedily.
The gnome reveals a stack of dusty purple wicker baskets, summons an Unseen Servant to carry it, and has the basket follow behind Xelia dutifully.
"We also have an exotic collection, viewable exclusively by appointment."

Vatra places the guitar down on the counter. Whats the asking price? A hit of annoyance in his voice after his snapping at Xelia.

"Exotic, you say? What sort of curiosities do you carry? I wouldn't want to make an appointment only to be disappointed." Xelia continues to circle the room, looking for anything else that seems to carry her likeness.

OLD XOBLOB SHOP
As you are discussing prices and private showings with the strange proprietor of the Old Xoblob Shop, the front door suddenly swings open. In stomps another Duergar, breathing heavy. Under his dark cloak you can make out weapons and armor. Outside you can see four other figures dressed in dark cloaks as well. He grabs the "open" sign and turns it to closed.
"Store is closed. Out, now," he says to the members of the party, his accent thick with Undercommon. He keeps his eyes on Alastriona. Even though she towers above him, he does not seem the least bit intimidated.
"Zemk!" Xoblob stammers. "Old friend! We were just conducting a lucrative business deal here..."
"It will wait until tomorrow! Store is closed!" the Duergar named Zemk demands loudly.
Xoblob doesn't put up much of a fight. "Erm, yes. Pardon, my dear customers, I must have let the time slip past us. Please, come back again tomorrow."

Alastriona keeps her eyes upon the duergar in turn, engaging in an impromptu staring contest while she waits for Vatra and Xelia. She does not move from her spot, her hand upon the shaft of her glaive.
OOC:
Should Vatra and Xelia depart, Alastriona will be the last to leave. She will otherwise not move until they do.Jan 1, 2019 6:02 pm
Vatra sighs, Ah well, I suppose I'll just spend my money elsewhere then. And with that, the fire genasi turns and walks towards the door. Would you agree Xelia?

Xelia considers the card for a moment, but decides to let it go for now. "Very well. We'll be back at another time, looking forward to an even better customer experience as I was truly prepared to do some shopping this evening. Ah, such a shame." With an air of mild annoyance at the interruption, she heads out the door with the others.

As you leave, you see that Zemk's associates are black-feathered Kenku. You notice a few other kenku lurking down the street, in the shadows. Nobody makes any move toward you.
OOC:
Looks like we're done here so I will close this thread up in a day or so. Post any last interactions. Otherwise, head on back to the chapter 1 thread to continue the story.
