Turn 5 –The Shopping Spree (Part 4) and The GCSGranite 1, 251
It is late afternoon.
Mahtan Anarion’s POVContinuing to explore, [6] you find a medicinal herb.
In Liwaalisa, “Strike Bud”, Forest RetreatAlana Teucer’s POVAfter buying from the shops, you meet your sister in the clearing of the grove, sitting on a nearby boulder.
”Alright, I won’t guess. What did you bring me?””If I said clothes, would you be surprised?””Come on, silly. I know how to take care of these agarments in any weather – you taught me.””Alright, alright. You sure are excited to go on an adventure.”
“Go ahead, open it,” your sister says after pulling out an object wrapped in rope reed cloth and rope.
”I had to find something that would keep my memory with you, so I etched something into the tip of the hilt. Check it… later on.”The twine unravels quite easily under your fingers, showing a Copper Dagger, with the insignia of the Liwaalisan people on the hilt as a white pine. The hilt itself is nothing out of the ordinary, but you can feel the value of the simple object radiate from your hands. [6, 3] You then notice a small engraving at the metal tip of the dagger.
This is an exceptional Copper Dagger. Engraved in the hilt is an image of the elves of Liwaalisan. Engraved in the tip is… an image.
This is an engraving in a *Copper Dagger*. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. Engraved is a picture of a dwarf and a demon of slade. The dwarf is cutting the demon in pieces. It menaces with tiny spikes of slade–Producing about ten meters of rope, your sister says,
”A good adventurer always brings rope, don’t you think? Though… I’ve exhausted every bit of coin you left me, none of our special armor, sadly…”You end up buying two scrolls, a set of writing implements, ten meters of rope, and a copper dagger… engraved with an
image.
”Don’t you worry a bit, sis. I’ll be trekking the land and slaughtering goblins and dwarves like they were nothing! I’ll bring something home that would prove my prowess!”
“And you can keep the rest of the money; It’s the least I can do when you’ve helped me this far.””Hah, I’ll be sure to see you off better than I would.
”I’ve… delayed long enough. But could you do me one favor?”
“Sure, anything.”
”Accompany to the border, plea–”
“You want to go leave… now?”Looking back at your sister, you see her putting on a
very depressing expression, and this time, unlike most, it felt genuine.
”Well… we’ve got nothing to do an–”
”You mean you’ve nothing to do!”
“Whoa, don’t get mad here.”
”Dusk is nearing, and we’ve got a long way to go… home sounds like a better place.”
“I mean, one more day couldn’t hurt; you’ve just graduated!”
“Good point. Heh, now that I think of it, I may be rushing too fast…”
”Good! That means I can tease you more and tell you more stories!”
“You’ll never change, won’t you?””As long as you don’t. We made a promise on that, remember?”
“Now… how about another tale of the boogeymen, hmm?”You and your sister go back home.

At Jonicmon, “Basement Holy”, Capital
Gregory Gianovich’s POV”It’s a bit late, but I guess we won’t be attacked by those creatures of the night, since we are travelling together. Hey, having company may actually be useful for something,” Staltih says, laughing.
”I’ll finish my stuff here and we can get going, unless you want to sleep in the city and start on the way to… Arane… Araneomu tomorrow, after we get fully rested… I think I’ll buy bows from the elves, they must be cheaper and better than these imports.””Of course having company is useful! Would you rather take on a group of goblins by yourself, or with someone you know will watch your back? Anyway, I think we’ll be alright on the road. We’re in a group after all so we can take turns watching over the other one while he sleeps,” you say while shouldering your pack.
”Let’s go visit some elves, right after we get some more… stuff.”You go to the well with Stalith, refilling both of your flasks. You then go to the carpentry shop, where Stalith buys two wooden blocks, one iron saw, and one iron axe.
”Huh, it seems like the sun is going to set in a bit… and by a bit, I mean two hours. Though, even so… do you think we should stop and rest now, or should we just wait a day?”Stalith Ngirathil’s POV”It’s a bit late, but I guess we won’t be attacked by those creatures of the night, since we are travelling together.

”Let’s go visit some elves, right after we get some more… stuff.”You go to the well with Gregory, refilling both of your flasks, then [4 vs 4] getting a 5 meter length of rope. You then go to the carpentry shop, buying two wooden blocks, one iron saw, and one iron axe.
