Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I meant more damage, although sights would help! Could you also put a blade on the end of it so I can stab people at close range without having to put it away?" I ask cheerfully.

Willow:

{CON bonus: -3}
{Final CON roll: 6}
You notice the merchant getting a little hot under the collar, but he quickly composes himself with a shake of the head.
"That, ma'am, is five silvers," he says. "The sheath is included in the price."

Sand-Claw:
"Hmm...I think I could!" he says. "This is a pretty heavy-damage weapon as it is...I'm not sure I can do much about getting it to do more damage, but I can try. And I'll get a crosshair added quickly. As for the blade, that'll be a little trickier, but I think I can do it. If you leave it with me, I can be done in about half an hour!"

Layla:
Xiao purrs a bit.
"Are you sure?" she asks, her eyes already closing. "Didn't Nyx reprimand us for this earlier?"

Everyone:
Once Willow and Sand-Claw have finished their transactions, we can time skip if everyone is ready by then.

I nod and take the sheathe. I walk off to an area where I won't be in the way and contemplate just strapping the sword across my back or to swap it with the one at my waist and just take my battle prize back to the guild hall.

Layla:
"Mmm...let's take the grass, then," Xiao says, still purring. "But not too close to Apollo, please. The faceless thing creeps me out..."

Nyx:
You find Apollo sitting on a bench near the end of the road, just on the edge of the grass leading out to the castle. However, you also find Layla and Xiao talking about finding a spot of grass...one can only imagine why. But, Xiao is asking to avoid being near Apollo, as his mask creeps her out. So maybe you won't have to see or hear them this time! Also, your teleporter orb doesn't seem to have "guild hall" available as an option. Maybe Layla had it upgraded, so it's unavailable?

Willow:
{CON 16: 19}
{CON bonus: -3}
{Attraction bonus: +1}
{Final CON roll: 17}
The merchant can't keep his eyes off of your body! Thankfully, he knows to keep his hands off, though. You can tell by the way he's swallowing that his mouth is dry, and his slowness at responding suggests that he's trying to think of what to say but having a hard time doing so. You've certainly got him going! Were you such a person, you could probably get the blade for next to nothing, if you give him a little "personal time" with you...but then again, considering how well he's been controlling his hands, he might refuse out of fear of blackmail...
"Er...my...um..." he stammers. "T-Three silver? I-I simply can't go any lower for such an item..."

"Are you sure? What if" She leaned in closer, her mouth practicaly touching his ear "I were to give you something in return" her voice gre soft and quiet enough for just the man to hear "And it is, very, flexible". Her mind flashed to Lyirana for just a moment, she wondered what the girl thought of the situation. Her spare hand had met gently with the mans leg, and moving slowly up. "What do you say, mon bon monsieur?"

Layla:
You find a shady spot with a lot of trees, allowing you to be hidden. Xiao allows herself to be pulled very close. She is still purring.
"What do you feel like doing with your little kitten?" she asks.

Willow:
"What are you suggesting?" he asks breathlessly.
He getting very flushed now, his cheeks a bright red.

Nyx:
It doesn't take you long to find a nice-looking pair of daggers. They still only do {d4} damage, but appear much sturdier than yours and might even allow for better channeling of your electricity! The note between them says, "Four silvers (two silvers for buying one)." The smith at the stall smiles. He is a dwarf, and appears to have a lot of experience, given the old burns and cuts on his arms and hands.

"How good is your imagination" she practicaly breathed the words into his ear.

Once I find a suitable place to sit down for a bit, I get out the healing tome I bought and begin reading it.

//Time skip is fine by me when appropriate.
