"If he wants an good match, oh will he get it" sell flintlock for more hammery goodness, maybe axe for better armor?
Press the shiny red button labelled "Kill Everything"
I put on my robe and wizard hat Fancy Blue Velvet Hat and tighten my cloak. It's going to be a looooooong trip.
Friar Greenmoore takes out the Blood Rosary and offers it to the salesman. "Will you buy this merchant? It's begun to wear on my soul."
Pay gold to have my cutlass sharpened.
Trade the weapon i got for more armor! "Aye, the count shall get more then a match, he's gonna get a beating."
Wait for the others to finish their tom-foolery. I don't have much to buy or sell.
Wait for the others to be ready.
Malleus approached Rinaldo first, laying his axe and rifle on the counter. He asked if, perhaps, he could get his warhammer and armor upgraded in exchange for them, and the shopkeeper nodded. "It will take some time, but I was planning on giving all of you a room, anyway. You'll be safe in here." The merchant took the warhammer and armor and placed them aside. Next, Claire walked up and plunked down a bag of gold, demanding moar sharpness for her cutlass! Rinaldo put the cutlass with Malleus's gear. Frenz took the opportunity to hand in his dire mace in exchange for upgraded armor, and his was set with the rest. It looked like Rinaldo was going to have a busy night!
Last but not least, Friar Greenmoore approached the counter with his rosaries. "Will you buy this merchant? It's begun to wear on my soul," he said, placing them on the counter. Rinaldo looked the artifact over, turning it in his hands a few times. "I recognize this," he said. "The blood of a vampire hunter trapped by the transfigured soul of a vampire." It was fairly valuable. "What would you like for it? Gold, or perhaps armaments?" Once Greenmoore had made his choice (you'll get whatever it is next turn, whether it's a bag of gold or an upgrade or such) he leaned on the counter. "I almost thought no one else would make it this far," he said, gesturing to Beirnat. "He made it inside the gate only two days ago, defeating the former gatekeepers. A witch and a large werewolf, I believe."
Rinaldo rubbed at his beard. "But the trick is that no one can get inside the castle on their own. You must have seen the five towers on your way in; two are accessibly from the courtyard, two from inside the castle, and the last... well, that's where the count himself waits." He reached under the counter and produced a rather crude map; it was merely an outline of the castle. "To get inside, you'll need to ascend the towers in the courtyard, Magic and Science. At the top of each tower is a seal; in the tower of Magic it's a blood seal, in the tower of Science it's merely a heavy lever. To open the door leading inside, a magician must banish the tower's guardian - thereby eliminating the seal - so a strong man can throw the lever. If the lever isn't thrown within one minute of the seal's removal, the guardian of the tower of Magic will be reborn and must be destroyed again."
"There are rooms that way," he said, pointing towards a door in the far corner. "Do you have anything else you wish to ask?" Meanwhile, Wymar was pressing a red button! It didn't do anything, no matter how many times he jabbed it. *poke, poke* Nothing. Zathyran, Biernat, and Pierre merely looked at him like 'uh, wtf are you doing?'
