Karlan pays for a bed and a meal at the tavern, then spends the rest of the evening hunting rats.

Karlan: -15cp meal and board, 1sp 37cp remaining

After getting a room you get a hankering for a bit of rat hunting. This town might not be the towniest town but a town it is still. [2] Sadly the rats seem to be adept at avoiding you. [3] In fact if it wasn't for the fact every town has rats you would almost suspect this one doesn't.

"Magic.. I might know something about it then."
Attempt to discern it's purpose via psychometry, which would essentially be the psionic version of a knowledge check(?)

You hold the staff in your hand and focus upon it. [6] Suddenly a flood of information invades your head. This staff was made by an apprentice to prove himself to his master. While successful it is more of a training item rather than functional. The best thing that could be said about it is that it does help with the strain of spellcasting. Perfect for someone new to the craft. It is limited to the classical magic elements. While not an amazing tool, because of its ability to help beginners this item is worth more then a basic amplifier staffs. This is because nobles like them for their children to get an edge on commoner mages by letting them start younger without danger. The wood it is crafted with is from the branch of a 1032 year old birch. This was meant to represent protection and common everyday work instead of being connected to any specific order. The slightly glowing gem is a shard of quartz heart. While a common gem normally and just a shard at that this was a part of a gem heart. These are formed in only the biggest of veins at the very center and are naturally charged with magic. Used in the staff to represent clarity of mind forsaking the usual use of quartz as a power storage medium to the point that only the barest glow remains. The base of the staff is capped in copper which is used as a representation of balance and while unseen there are runes carved on the inside of the cap which further this and allow the remaining power from the quartz crystal to flow through the whole staff providing a minor boost to sturdiness. Overall the staff was well made and even its stay with the goblins couldn't damage it. You see that this item was indeed the source of the variant goblin. This staff was lost by a young and brash noble along the road at one point and stayed there for 4 years until a goblin newly born chose it as it's club. Over a month went by and as the goblin grew the staff promoted a clearer train of thought then any goblin has a right to. Finally the goblin using its clarity of mind killed the leader of its tribe and overnight its brain bulged out and it became a variant. The latest owner is a being with a squid head. He managed to loot it along with everything else the previous owners tribe had that was of value. You see that if sold somewhere that knows what it is you can get ~60sp and if you found a noble with a young child who hasn't attempted to learn magic yet you might even be able to get a gold for it though this is a matter of luck.

((Just as a note, classical elements in this case will be going with the Japanese elements. This matches the Greek elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire except instead of Aether there is Void. Wiki link for those who care))

Arienne inquires as to the title of the cheapest book.

Arienne inquires as to the title of the cheapest book.

[2] "hmph, if you have to ask you probably can't afford it. I also don't have a habit of telling people what information like that out as it just attracts thieves. Either give me a category your interested in or just be fine with what I have out on the shelves."

Ckaeyod blinked hard and shook his head slightly, it had been a long time since he had to use psychometry, and he had somewhat forgotten how sudden the flow of information is. Quickly righting himself mentally, he spoke- "Interesting.. Given that this staff enhances elemental magic, Yanethi may benefit from this. Not sure if that odd nature magic he uses falls under elemental magic though.. I'd like to see it if you don't mind, Karlan. "

Take staff if Karlan's cool with it, pay for private room, meditate for a bit and sleep.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

((Just to note it does not enhancing magic. All it does is help with the strain. If we were using a system where you had a certain amount of mana to play with this staff would reduce the cost of spells by a little and protect people attempting an elemental magic they don't have a skill for (basically negating some penalties for nat 1 rolls) that goes away once you have the skill. Oh and it would work for anything Yanethi does that is directly elementally aligned. Affecting the local weather would but affecting some fish to come near a boat would not.))

Arienne silently but angrily makes a rude gesture towards the old lady, before backing out of the shop. With a sigh, she decides just to head to bed.

You can't see it since your leaving but you can just feel her smirk and knowing look, judging you as being poor and unable to afford her wares. That out of the way you head to the inn and the off to bed after a meal.

((Okay, I must have missed it, even looking back I can't find it. What second head?))

When you go to order your drinks the guy behind the bar asks if you plan to also stay the night because getting a meal and a room together costs less and you get a couple drinks along with the meal.

((it's in her picture recall? So she's had it this whole time....))
"That sounds nice sure."

((Going to be honest. Didn't see it till you pointed it out))
