"Heals lady go with Jorund, friends, get stuff. Important lady, sword lady, windy guy, scaliehorsieguy stay here."

That was Jorund's entire explanation.

[USEC_OFFICER]

"Heals lady go with Jorund, friends, get stuff. Important lady, sword lady, windy guy, scaliehorsieguy stay here."

That was Jorund's entire explanation.

"I see. What will we be getting?"

Nerea also waits for someone else to elaborate further about what they're doing.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Jorund looked up in heavy thought, one eyebrow raised and his enormous hands on his hips.

"Get... weapons... magic stuff...?"

The giant returned his attention to Nerea. That sounded about right.

"...Want drinks."

He wasn't sure if there was anywhere to get drinks around here, though.

Colt returned Altomorin a small smile.

: "A pity... Alas. I'll look into the matter myself personally later."

Then, Colt chuckled slightly and reached into his robes for his Wind Tome. This was going to be fun.
: "Just tell them you need something similar to this Wind Tome here, only stronger. I trust your judgment will be adequate. It isjust a simple acquisition after all."

Give Einar the Wind Tome.
: "If you can't find anything, or if there are more important things to buy, just bring the book back. I may see about this "enchanting" business as soon as I am done here."

[Swordstar]

Rolling his eyes, Einar muttered quietly, "ass" before taking the book.

"Well, it is very kind of such an important man such as yourself to entrust such an important task to a lowly one such as myself. After all, such a simple task for such a mighty mage as you might be seen by one who knows nothing nor cares nothing about magic to be a harder task. But you have been gracious enough to let my poor self have the honor of doing it."

He gave an over-exaggerated bow to the mage, and then turned his back to him. To Halldora and the princess, he added,

"We'll join you in the archives once we've found supplies. Good luck with your search."

With that, he motioned to the others who were coming with him, and headed out to the shops.

[Haspen]

"Yes. I was asking who can read - those who can could come with me to the Archives and read on history books and magic and maybe even that Jewel that brought us here... so we might find way home..."

[USEC_OFFICER]

"Yes. I was asking who can read - those who can could come with me to the Archives and read on history books and magic and maybe even that Jewel that brought us here... so we might find way home..."

"I see. Obviously I can read, but someone else would have to escort Jorund to the market if I am to join you, my lady."

[Haspen]

"Well then... Halldora wanted to go, and Colt seems prepared. I think it will be allright if you go with Jorund, Nerea."

The Princess turned to Altmorin.

"Can you take us to the Archives?"

"Of course. Prince Asoth had a Scholar's Permit hastily written for you." Altmorin handed a small parchment to confused Eleonore.

"Scholar's Permit?"

"Yes. If you're not of nobility or attendee of a magical university, you cannot enter the Archives to read books." Eleonore took a moment to draw a conclusion.

"...You mean most of people in the Empire are illiterate? But--"

"Emperor Revus the Second once said, 'Literate peasantry is dangerous peasantry'. Even today we still adhere to his strict rules on literacy and book-keeping." Altmorin moved down the street and Eleonore followed, waving at her companions to follow. She then rubbed her forehead a little.

"_{Oh, the things I'm hearing... Eternal Guardian, give me strength to bear with this madness.}" Altmorin coughed and Eleonore didn't say a word more.

The walk took a few minutes and few turns around the corner and the group stopped in front of rather large building with ornate roof that had at least five, if not more, little towers.

"The archives of this city. You might not find book on every subject of your interest, but the collection is quite large, for sure. If anything, you can always consult with the bookkeepers. I understand that only few of you are going to read books - where should I take the rest?"

"Yes. The rest is to find supplies and get new weapons and accessories. Could you take them to few shops?" Eleonore then opened the door leading inside the building and beckoned to Colt and Halldora to follow.

@Outside peoples:

Altmorin watched them go and then turned toward the rest.

"Where do you want to go first?"

@Colt&Halldora:

Eleonore sneezed a little as heavy cloud of library dust attacked her nostrils. This woke up a pudgy, short, elderly man with lengthy white beard sitting behind a counter.

"Can I help you?" Eleonore quickly turned to Halldora and Colt.

"I'm going to look at the local maps and learn about the Empire. Halldora, please take a look into history books... I remember Asoth saying something about Eferia being three hundred years in the past? So please concentrate on these dates. Colt, I would like you to check books on magical artifacts. See if there's any mention of the current location of Jewel of Wishing."

[Swordstar]

"Well... that depends. Your boss, the prince, mentioned something about a reward for killing those bandits. Is part of that coming our way or no? If it isn't... I suppose taking us to the shop where they sell healing staffs would be the best option either way."

[USEC_OFFICER]

"I suppose that does make sense, Einar. Do they have a place like that in the city?"

[Haspen]

"I remember that too but we didn't even reach the garrison before Prince Asoth told me to return. So I can't tell you anything about it. Same for the healing staves - we mostly use medicine today. I think we would first need to find a priest or magician of some sort that makes them." Altmorin thought for a moment.

"Or we can ask the enchanter. Even if he does not make these staves, he should know where to get some."

[Swordstar]

"Hmm.. that could work, I suppose. I'd personally like to visit the fletcher as well. But that comes secondary to making sure our group stays alive and healthy. My bow's still got some life left in it. I don't suppose there's any way you could check about that reward..."

[Haspen]

"I could go to the garrison and unless you want to tag along, you will have to look around the shops by yourselves. Each enterprise have a sign above the door and the name of the premises written on the doorframe. The local weaponsmith has a workshop called 'The Iron Pike' and the fletcher is 'Margoth and Son' if I recall correctly. There are two apothecaries, ran by the same group of healers. Their names are... hmm, 'Medicine of the Coast' is one. I do not remember the other one, though. The enchanter is simply 'Zenith's' and the seller of magical books have something about a Dragon or Wyvern in the shop's name. I'm pretty sure you're intelligent bunch and will be able to find these shops. I will try to be back as soon as possible." With that, Altmorin took off with a sprint.

You can now visit all of the mentioned shops simply by writing an action involving its name.

[Swordstar]

Einar heads to Zenith's first

[Haspen]

@Einar:

The enchanter's shop was rather small. The room that door opened to was sparsely furnished - barely a counter and a stool on which the enchanter was sitting; an average man in dark blue robe.

"Greetings! Cheap weak enchantments or powerful yet pricey ones, beneficial charms or hideous hexes, Zenith shall provide!"
