Turn ResultsRed: Wrong shop. Go to Bronze Works.Going to Bronze Works is definitely a thing you're going to do. You wave goodbye to the shop owner and head out along the main roads again. Eventually, using your keen Koopa senses (these may or may not be real), you find yourself at Bronze Works!
A scruffy human guy person greets you. He looks baffled to have this much business. Also, you see Joe and Zachary here!
Bradley: Go to the magic shop. For reals.You float pass the strange, childish humans and end up at the magic shop. It seems slightly different than the last one you visited. Books of varying potency adorn the shelves behind the Goomba that runs the place.
The Goomba shop owner speaks to you. Goombas have some difficulty enunciating words, but you can clearly hear him say "Hey! That mini-forge! I'll give ya' 400 for it!"
You suddenly remember that you've been lugging around that mini-forge all this time. You COULD keep it and use it to craft an extremely powerful piece of weaponry or armor... OR, you could sell it for some quick coins. You don't know which to choose.
Oomph: Sell the bronze shortsword, then attempt to buy iron armor.You tell the highly armored shopkeeper to wait one moment. You jog out of Ye Olde Armor Shoppe, and head to Bronze Works. When you get there, a bunch of idiots consisting a Toad, a Human and another Koopa are standing around doing nothing. You ignore them, and head right up to the shop keeper.
You put your useless bronze shortsword on the desk. He examines it carefully, and understands your intent to sell.
"My! What a finely crafted bronze shortsword! And in such pristine condition," says the shopkeeper.
"I'll give you 150 coins for it, instead of the regular 50."You don't hesitate, and grab the gold. You head out of the shop, and jog all the way back to Ye Olde Armor Shoppe. When you get there, the armor-laden shopkeeper hasn't moved. Not like he could, though, with all that armor.
You put the 500 coins down on the desk, and say you're willing to haggle for the iron armor. The shopkeeper eyes your Haunting Club, but also noticing something else in your inventory.
Only now do you notice you've been carrying around some other club. Is that... oh man, it IS. It's a genuine, straight-off-the-forge Koopaball Club from Bowserbowl '51. This is amazing. You have to keep it. Such nostalgia!
Now you just have to decide what else to haggle with. You're short 100 coins!
Fuzz: Imitate Oomph again.You put down your entire stock of coins for some iron armor. The shopkeeper says he would oblige, but the mean-looking turtle-like one is currently haggling for the only set. You can wait, or buy some bronze armor instead.
You decide to buy some bronze armor instead. Besides, you could buy some magic with the leftover money, if you wanted! You put down 300 coins, and receive bronze armor. Huzzah!
Zachary: Tip your hat, and ask for favors.You tip your truly high-class headwear shop-keeper-wards. Then, instead of buying something, you ask if he has anything SPECIAL for the heroes of the Kingdom.
The shopkeeper winces. Then he walks out from behind his desk, and heads right up to you, and puts his finger on your forehead.
"Listen, punk," he says. "I don't have anything for you. Do you know what happened the last time some bright-eyed, golden-haired '
HERO' wandered in and wanted something free?"
You shake your head. You're terrified.
"That kid stole my most powerful magical lance replica. Then he ran out of the shop, and headed out of the city before the guards could catch him," continues the shopkeeper. "So NO FREE WEAPONS FOR HEROES!"
You had no idea this was coming. But you wonder who this bright-eyed dude was?
Joe: Buy the bronze greatsword.You put down your entire stock of coins to buy the greatsword. The shopkeeper hands it to you, and is surprised with the ease at which you wield it! (wielded Bronze Greatsword)

Turn OutroSome plans go better than others. Oomph's is in progress, and looking like it's going to work, but Zachary's failed spectacularly. Oh well!
Okay so this is a problem. Fuzzy hasn't been on since the 2nd of this month. What do I do? I don't want to just replace him, but having someone else control him isn't as fun, I'm sure, as having their own character. And autoing is lame.
