Information
Much as last time, this gather will have no fixed end date, you will be allowed to go on RPing as long as you like. Flitt eggs prizes will be given out when things seem to slow down.
This gather counts as an event of the purposes of rank requirements (remember you must be an adult rider to start accumulating these), but you must have at least 10 posts (that are not one liners) in here to count it.
Feel free to begin posting now!
What's going on when?
Posting in the gather
To keep things from getting confusing please indicate in bold at the top of your post what area your character is in: fest tables, stalls, dance area, or wherever else they are.
So far as IC time goes, we're playing fast and loose. Please put in bold at the top of your post the vague time your posts are taking place eg 'late afternoon - fest tables' or 'early evening - stalls'. This means that you can have your character manning a craft stall part of the time and enjoying themselves either before they set up or once they sell out. Don't worry if you are RPing in the afternoon while some others are RPing in the evening, but only interact with people in the same vague place and time as you! You can hop around places and times with your posts, you can even RP the same character at different times concurrently if you want!
There's no post order here, or limits on how fast you can post.

So what can I spend?
Money money money!
- Different characters have different levels of wealth. Listed below is the marks a given character has to spend. If your character fits in more than one category they have the higher number of marks. If your character received money or goods in a previous event (such as the pearls given to riders in one threadfall) you may add that to your total provided you give a link showing the the value of the goods they received and are assumed to have sold. The base money characters had in the last gather cannot be carried forward, but money they made there as a crafter can.
Mark denominations are 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 5,10, and 100. 1 mark is equal to about $20 USD, while 100 marks is about $2000 USD.

What's for sale?
NPC Stalls
- If you choose you may try to haggle rather than just paying the marked price. If you do so roll 1d20 and see the list below. Characters who are stated to be charming or smooth talkers in their profiles may add +1 to their rolls! If they are stated to be abrasive or awkward sorts you get -1. You may make only one haggling attempt per item. If you at least journeyman - or an apprentice haggling with an apprentice - in the same craft as an NPC, you get another +1 to haggling!
- If you would like to buy something you don't see here, let me know and I will create a new stall for you or add products to an existing stall!
1: You have insulted the stall keeper with your measly offer! They won't sell to you; not the item you were haggling for, not anything! >[
2-10: The stall keeper stands firm, that's the price so take it or leave it.
11-17: The stall keeper agrees to a small discount, you get 1/4 a mark off their price. If the item was under a mark to start with, you get 1/8 off. No discount for items under 1/4 mark.
18-19: The stall keeper must be in a good mood! You get a mark off their price for items above 1 mark, 1/2 a mark off 1 mark item, 1/4 off an item under a mark, 1/8 off if it was below 1/4.
20: Woah, you got 50% off their marked price! Either you've got a silver tongue or they really like the look of you.
Stalls:
Master Smith Peya - A tall powerful woman with dark skin and a greying fro-hawk, she's in her forties but is fresh-faced for her age. Her hair is a thing of beauty, be awed by its glory. She has a rich alto voice and a sultry air that could be intimidating to some.
Standard dagger - 1 mark
Daggers of various lengths and weights with simple designs. They are not made by the master herself but by journeymen working under her and she personally guarantees their quality.
Brass knuckles - 1/2 mark each, 3/4 marks a pair
Nothing fancy about these either but they pack a punch! Easy to hide in a pocket or the folds of your clothing they'll get you out of some tight corners. The metal is painted black so as not to cause a tell-tale gleam.
One of a kind - Diamond knuckles - 5 marks
If there is a better way to propose to the terrifying love of your life we don't know what it is. Lovingly crafted by Peya herself these diamond 'knucks are as deadly as they are lovely. Sold out!
Four Three available - Fancy daggers - 4 marks
These are indeed some swanky daggers. Two have One has a brass wher's head grip (missing neck spikes for the sake of your hand) with garnet eyes. The other two have bone handle, and metal pommels in the shape of snarling feline heads with tiny emerald eyes.
New One of a Kind Item: Minimalist Masterwork Dagger! - 3 marks (to Ralla)
'Stooping for a moment she reached under her stall, soon straightening back up with a bone-handled dagger in a black leather sheath with brass fittings. Drawing the blade she held it flat on her palms hilt out to Ralla, showing that the quality of the blade was just as fine as the more ornate weapons. "If minimalist beauty is more your style how about this? Three marks to you." Actually it was a blade a friend of hers had ordered, but friends could wait when there was business in the air.' Sold out!
Sr. Journeyman Leatherworker Vakus - Light olive skin, dark brown hair, middling height, average build. He wouldn't stand out at all if it weren't for his eyes: the left is an average Pernease dark brown, but the right is pale watery blue. He has a big smile and no fewer than five firelizards buzzing around him - three blue and two brown - and he is dressed in brown leather britches with a blue leather vest over a creamy shirt. Apparently he enjoys drawing attention to his usual attribute!
Wher saddles - 3 - 5 marks.
There is only one of these on Vakus' stall, because each one is made to order. The price varies depending on how fancy you want it to be. The one on display is pretty fancy; it's made of russet red leather with beautiful knotwork embossed onto it, and has a tall comfortable looking horn and cantle that will help you keep your seat if the wher stops suddenly or changes direction. This one also has simple 'flying straps' for those occasions where you might get carried into their air by a dragon so you can be dropped on a boming mission behind enemy lines.
Chest armour - 2 marks
There isn't much difference between the armour fashioned for men and for women, just slightly more space up front. Available in various shades of brown, black, dark green or dark blue.
One of a kind - Beautiful chest armour - 3 marks
Made of the finest black leather this piece of armour has a rampant wher embossed on the front and lots of detailing with studs. As well as looking cool it is slightly more flexible than the cheaper pieces. Sold out!
Knee boots - 1 1/2 marks
These boots were made for kicking, they have steel toecaps and fasten with buckles down the outsides. Available in black or dark brown.
Bull whip - 1 1/2 marks
Six feet of flexible plaited leather. It's none of Varkus business why you want one! They come in black and brown.
Sr. Journeyman Baker Jorman & Apprentice Baker Jossi - They're father and daughter and you can tell; they're a small pair with chunky builds and the same dark blue eyes. Jorman has chestnut brown hair, but Jossi's is honey blonde. Jorman looks around thirty, Jossi maybe twelve. Both have their hair neatly tied back. In quiet moments they can be seen conversing softly with many chuckles/giggles and affectionate jibes passing both ways.
Cosmic Cream Cakes - 1/8 mark each
Light pastry filled with delicious fresh cream, topped with glazed fruit. Various fruits are available. Truly out of this world!
Decadent Sweet-Dough - 1/8 mark per half dozen.
Well back from the public is a bubbling pot of oil. Balls of sweet dough are fried it in to order and then rolled in your choice of cinnamon sugar, plain sugar, or brushed with a coating of syrup and sprinkled with chopped nuts.
Sinful Sweetroll Swirlies - 1/8 for two
Swirls of sweet pastry. Some have jam in the swirls, some have thick syrup and nuts, some have dried fruit. Some are iced, others dusted with sugar.
Other delicious things - probably 1/8 mark, just ask!
There are various other sweet treats on offer but they seem to have lost their descriptions and prices. Point out what you want and the stall holders will help you out! ((For those who fancy a bakery item I didn't list!))
Master Vinter Killian - Killian is somewhere in their mid thirties, and as androgynous as they come. With a fine boned face, short fluffy blonde hair and big blue eyes they are a beguiling one, whatever they keep under their clothes! Their voice is rich, deep for a woman or high for a man? Would they be insulted if you asked...? Anyway, they are very welcoming and as smooth spoken as a Harper.
Hot spiced wine - 1/8 mark a cup
The red wine used to make this is distinctly average in quality but the drink as a whole, oh my. It steams lightly in the cool air and the spices in it positively dance on the tongue. It is lightly sweetened in the vat but Killian is happy to give you extra sugar if you would like it.
Benden red - 1/8 mark a glass, 3/4 marks a bottle
A dry fruity red wine that will please all but the biggest of wine snobs. There are a couple of jugs of it on the counter, because Killian says that serving it straight from the bottle with no chance to breath is a crime that should be punishable by public flogging.
Malvren white - 1/8 mark a glass, 3/4 marks a bottle
Fruity and sweet this one is a good drinking wine, or one to enjoy with desserts. Like the red there are jugs of this, but the jugs sit in deep trays of ice. Just to show off, if you order a drink of it to have at Killian's stall they will have their brown firelizard sweep out from between and drop a frozen grape directly into your glass.
Fancy wine - 1 1/4 marks a bottle
Red, white, or rose of various kinds! Just tell Killian your preference (Sweet? Dry? Fruity? Heavy?) and they will be happy to recommend one you will enjoy.

PC stalls
- PCs can set up craft stalls to sell their wares or skills. To have a stall just fill in the form below, post it here in the thread, and I will add it to the list of stalls. Non crafters can set up a stall too if they think they have a marketable skill: fortune telling booths, dating advisory services, whatever you like!
- The value of the goods you have should not more than double the total marks you have to spend at that rank. (NPC stalls don't necessarily follow this rule). This means you will need to list a your total stock, either that or close up shop if you take the maximum possible. Having a stall costs 1/2 a mark per apprentice manning it, 1 mark per jr journeyman, 1 1/2 per sr journeyman, and 2 marks per master. You should deduct this from the marks you have to spend initially, but of course any money you make by selling is added to your total!
- For those who have a stall but no craft rank use the years you have been practising as a guide to the value of good and services you can go up to. 1-8 years = apprentice equivalent, 9-16 years jr journeyman, 17-24 = sr journeyman, 25+ = master.
- You may make joint stalls, the above rule still applies to your own goods.
- Feel free to haggle away to your hearts' content, obviously PCs are not subject to NPC bargaining rules.

Fine steel arrowheads – 1/8 mark for a dozen, or 1/4 mark for a dozen ‘dragon-killers’
Stronger and more durable than the standard stone heads, metal arrowheads are a bit pricey due to the rarity of metal on Pern, but if you really need something killed… T’arn’s are well-balanced and wickedly sharp. There is also a limited quantity of larger, barbed heads for use against dragon hide.
Pendants – 1/4 mark for leather cord, 1/2 mark for metal chain
A variety of semi-precious gems, neatly polished and placed in settings of either silver or gold – whichever one T’arn felt would set off the color of the stone better. For ease of browsing, he has thoughtfully arranged them by color in little baskets. (T’arn himself proudly sports a charming aventurine pendant of his own.) These pendants come with either a leather cord cut and sized to fit, or a metal chain matching the setting of the gem.
Wher figurines – 1 mark each (3 in stock)
These carefully sculpted little whers are small enough to fit easily in the palm of your hand, but their heft indicates that they’re solid metal. There are three: one is in a playful pose with its fore end lowered and head angled up, with tiny chips of green stone for eyes. One is reared up on its hind legs with its jaws open and tiny teeth on display, with red stone chips for eyes. The third is curled up and apparently asleep. T’arn encourages visitors to pick them up and examine them more closely.
Talon sheaths – 4 marks each (2 in stock)
There are only two sets of these: one sized for small whers (green through small brown) and one sized for large whers (large brown through gold). He is quick to explain that they are for purposes of decoration and intimidation only, and have not been tested in actual combat yet… but boy do they look impressive. Gleaming, polished steel, lovingly engraved and reinforced with sturdy bands at the base of each, they fit onto a wher’s forepaws like a gauntlet.

These pendants come with either a leather cord cut and sized to fit, or a metal chain matching the setting of the gem.
Wher figurines – 1 mark each (3 in stock)
These carefully sculpted little whers are small enough to fit easily in the palm of your hand, but their heft indicates that they’re solid metal. There are three: one is in a playful pose with its fore end lowered and head angled up, with tiny chips of green stone for eyes. One is reared up on its hind legs with its jaws open and tiny teeth on display, with red stone chips for eyes. The third is curled up and apparently asleep. T’arn encourages visitors to pick them up and examine them more closely.
Talon sheaths – 4 marks each (2 in stock)
There are only two sets of these: one sized for small whers (green through small brown) and one sized for large whers (large brown through gold). He is quick to explain that they are for purposes of decoration and intimidation only, and have not been tested in actual combat yet… but boy do they look impressive. Gleaming, polished steel, lovingly engraved and reinforced with sturdy bands at the base of each, they fit onto a wher’s forepaws like a gauntlet.
(Note: T'arn encourages IC bartering and haggling!)

Competitions
There are various game stalls scattered around the place and some of them have great prizes!
Splat the tunnelsnakes!
"Gather round friends! Try your hand at splat-a-snake! The more you hit, the more points you win! Top score at the end of the gather wins a firelizard egg, yes handlers and riders a firelizard egg guaranteed viable! Just one eight mark to have a go!" - A tiny tiny lady in her late twenties with delicate features, a huge voice, and a black patch over her right eye. A big blue wher is flopped near by gnawing contentedly at a bone.
To play:
- Generate a random number from 1 to 15, that is the number of socks with sand in, I mean deadly tunnelsnakes, you manage to splat with your bat of justice as they shoot out of a tube.
- If there is a tie in splatted snakes at the end of the game period there will be a tie breaker!
- PCs may choose to forfeit if they want. They may also choose to give their egg away or to sell it IC! No OOC payment may take place, but if they sell it IC they may carry the marks they make over to the next gather or spend them at the stalls. You can't sell to your own PCs.
- You may only sell to other PCs present at the gather, and it's up to you what you ask for your egg. You won't get to see the firelizard until either you decide to keep it, or it is sold.

Lucky dip!
"Hey you! Yes you! Are you feeling lucky, punk? If you are come dip your hand in my pot and see what you've got! One eighth mark a go, just one eighth and you could walk away with a lovely prize!

You shove your hand among the scraps of cloth and pull out...

11-15 - A white token! You may choose from: a small plush wher toy, a leather hat lined with warm wool, a mug with a cheery slogan painted on it, or a bag of rather nice sweets.
15-22 - A blue token! You may choose from: a firelizard message harness, a leatherbound notebook, a small paint set, or a terracotta tea/klah pot with two cups. Alternately you may take no prize and have another go for free!
