The moon peeked over the clouds allowing a few dim rays of moonlight to illuminate your surroundings just enough to see the dirt path and the outlines of the trees and bushes. You walk hurriedly up the dirt path hoping that you get to your destination, Cartwright Rest, which was a three hours walk away. Further along the path you began noticing some strange happenings around you, the occasional rustling of the leaves which seemed distant at first grew closer by the minute, lights flickering in the distance, and you swore you saw a silhouette move between the trees a minute ago. You curse yourself under your breath as you quickened your pace from a walk to a jog, you curse yourself for accepting a to work as a(n)....

You curse yourself under your breath as you quickened your pace from a walk to a jog, you curse yourself for accepting a to work as a Cartographer. Though to be fair the pay is good and you finally get out of your office, or your Ex-spouse's Basement.
After three hours of walking later you find yourself in the Cartwright Rest, a meager trading post set up by a bunch of /pol/acks three maybe four months ago. You ask around the outpost for a /pol/ack going under the name of MechaJew or as you'll have to call him now, Boss. Fortunately for you MechaJew has decided to stay in the Cartwright inn until the morning so you haven't missed them however unlike the rest of the crew you will have to be paying for your own room and board though you didn't mind all too much since you have a bit of money to spare that and you were too tired care as you had been walking for 12 hours straight.
You awake in the early hours of the morning and took advantage of T H E B A T H and washed your face and admire your Physique which was rather...

You awake in the early hours of the morning and took advantage of T H E B A T H and washed your face and admire your Physique which was rather Scrawny. Mommanon was right I needed to fatten myself up.
You walk down stairs and into the dining area where you notice a congregation of interesting and eccentric characters, and next to it was a table seating 3 other anons talking amongst themselves and who you presumed to be MechaJew.
"I am so sorry for being late" You said as you walked over to your Boss' table
>"Don't worry about it goy, now take a seat do you want something to eat?" MechaJew motioned you to take the seat in front of him
"Uhm eggs and toast please" You take off your satchel and place it next to you
>"WEAK BREAKFAST FOR WEAK MAN" Said or rather screamed the ushanka wearing anon sitting to your right
>"STRE/k/I YOU'RE TOO DAMM LOUD, sorry about that he's been shooting guns all his life guy can barely here anything. he's a great lip reader though, /out/zi pleased to meet you by the way" The /out/lander to your right extended his hand for a handshake which you of course went for.
"oh hey I'm...."

"Anon, Just anon."
>"Didn't you go through like a rite of passage or something to get your name or something?"/out/zi leaned back on his chair and eyed the waitress your table's order. You cringe for a moment as this was true seldom often do Anons remain named as Anons as they usually get a name after they contribute something to the board.
"I uh never graduated from inve/x/tigator academy" you wistfully say as the waitress placed a glass of water which you promptly took a swig from. /out/zi chuckled and patted you in the back
>"Don't worry about it" /out/zi looks at stre/k/i then leans in and whispered in your ear "stre/k.i There is pretty scrawny, hides it under a really thick fur coat. also can't hear shit usually, great lip reader though" He briefly glanced at the disheveled woman sitting next to MechaJew "She is a /trash/er trisha, /trash/a or something."
"And the boss?" You whispered back
>"He's a jewish nazi." /out/zi glanced at MechaJew
"What?"
>"I know fu- Hold that thought" /out/zi reached over to the waitress carrying our orders and grabbed his plate of sausages. The waitress rather annoyed quickly laid your tables orders which was eggs and toast, a bottle of wine and two tankards of beer for the /trash/lady, and pancakes for stre/k/i
"Is it okay for her to be drinking this early?" The group shrugged and began eating their meals.
>"It's fine don't worry about it" /out/zi gulped down an entire fucking sausage without gagging.
>"for the most part yes, and /out/zi." MechaJew skewered the steak and took a bite out of it like a shishkebab then began again. "it isn't professional to talk about one's employer behind their back. especially if said employer know about your....history" MechaJew glared at /out/zi
>"ANON CAN I HAVE EGG?" Stre/k/i pointed at one of your eggs with his fork
"Yeah sure, wait what did you mean by history?"
>The /trash/er slammed her empty wine bottle down and picked up a tankard of beer"/Out/zi got kicked out of his previous job for sexually harassing a horse. Also my name is nas/trash/a, Nas/trash/a not trisha nor trasha, nas/trash/a get it fucking right dammit" She chugged down the tankard of beer.
"What?" stre/k/i took your eggs and placed it between the pancakes and ate it like a sandwich.
>"YES HE TRIED TO SUCK OFF THE NOR/mlp/ERSON THAT DRAG CART FOR " Stre/k/i laughed heartily and pushed his plate and reached for one of nas/trash/a's beer
>"also something about sucking at least 10 cocks? but gossiping aside let's get to business shall we" The boss pulls out a folded piece of paper from his suit
"Yes we're supposed to survey the area right?"
>"No, I only said that to get the other /pol/acks off my back. What were actually here to do is look for this." He laid the paper on the table revealing an illustration of a frozen heart of ice
>"Do you know what this is anon?"
>No
>Yes(Lie)

You picked up the picture of the heart and looked at it more closely. The more you looked at it the more it resembled a heart of a tumblrite, witches that have yet to sacrifice their comapassion to acquire magics, yet it also resembled the darkened crystal core of a tumblrwitch, which arc/x/mages often use as sources of magic.
"a tumblrite heart, I think? but does it matter I'm still getting paid right?" you put looked up at your boss who had a wide grin on his face.
>"Close it's a heart of a tumblrina" MechaJew began and motioned for you to return the picture to him. "and yes you get paid regardless."
"Those are just spook tale stories that Momanons tell to make babynons behave. but it's your expedition so I won't judge." MechaJew stuffed the photo in his jacket and left a few shekels on the table to pay for our breakfast.
>"Fair enough, now we leave in the afternoon so you have..." MechaJew takes a moment to look at his wristwatch. "three hours to do what ever you want, then we meet back here. Sounds fair"

>>1448627
You nod and decide to go around the trading post looking for a place to acquire some much needed supplies and, if you're fortunate enough, a spell book under ten shekels.
It didn't take you too much time to find the general store as it was one of the few permanent structures in Cartwright Rest. Before you could go into the store however you spot an anon sitting on the side of the dirt road with a few books and weapons laid before him.
>Enter the store
>Talk to the Anon at the street
>>
>>1449798
>>Talk to the Anon at the street
Hmm lets see what he got.
>>
>>1449807
You back away from the store doors and walked towards the Anon sitting at the side of the street. As you got closer to him you noticed other anons we're beginning to set up a little flea market on the side of the road a few steps ahead of him.
>"This one wants to make a deal yes?" You looked down and found yourself in front of the Anon who looked up at you with a welcoming smile.
You swore you were much farther away from the anon a few seconds ago.
"how..I-" Before you could speak the Anon continued speaking.
>"How about a spell book?" He pointed at a book with a weathered looking book with a faded rune you can't quite read "A weapon perhaps" He pointed at a flintlock pistol, then at a shiv, and stopped at a long sword.
>Stay.
>Leave.

Rolled 11 + 3 (1d14 + 3)
>>1450128
The book, followed by the knife.
And if a roll is needed for the second object.
>>
>>1449949
You crouch down and take a closer look at the book and for a brief moment you saw the rune on the cover glow ice blue. You reach out for the book to inspect it closer however you're hand is slapped away by the Anon.
>"You touch you buy" The anon crossed his arms and looked at you expectantly "Buy now don't have all day."
"Okay, okay." You then turned you eye towards the knife and upon closer inspection you notice a few engravings on it that looked oddly familiar though you can't quite recall where you saw it from though you're sure it's magical in origin.
>"Buy now, stop wasting time" The anon pulled the tarp over his wares preventing you from inspecting them further. "Ten shekel for book, five shekel for knife, ten for gun, twelve for sword, make deal now or I move elsewhere."
Wat do?

No we need that for our job.
Unless we can do our job without it.
But we'll accept the seven for the book.
>>
Sorry I needed to rephrase that
>>1450230
"Ten shekels for that weathered book!? you've gotta be kidding me. No how about 5 shekels for the book." The anon crossed his arms and stroked his chin for a bit.
>"seven shekel and your kit for book and the knife, final offer."
"Wait how did yo-" The anon raised his hand before you could ask any more questions.
>"Deal or no deal."
Accept?
>>
>>1450319
Is it the cartographer kit?
Eh sure, we can always try and buy another kit.
Heck, all we really need is something to write with, something to write on, a telescope and a compass.
>>
>>1450350
Also curious if it is the cartography kit.
>>
>>1450350
Yes it is
>>
>>1450319
"Deal" You reach out for a handshake from the vendor to legitimize your deal though all you managed to get from him was a nod. He then pulled the tarp off his wares which seemed to have disappeared save for the book and knife.
>"The Shekels and Kit?" He held his hand and awaited for his payment.
"How did you? do that" You pulled out a smaller satchel, containing your map making tools, out of your satchel and handed it to him.
>"Hey, Anon whatcha doing here?" you felt someone's hand on your shoulders. you turn and see /out/zi with stre/k/i behind him.
"Oh, I was just talking to..." You turned back who seems to have inexplicably disappeared save for your book, knife, and a leather bound journal where he was supposed to be sitting.
>"Are you okay anon?" /out/zi had a look of worry on his face whilst stre/k/i.
"but he was right here..bu- how? What!?" you stand there dumbfounded and confused while stre/k/i picked up your the your belongings and the journal off the ground.
>"YOU DROP THIS" Stre/k/i yelled snapping you out of your confused and disoriented state. You then took the books and the knife off his hands then shoved them into your satchel.
"T-thanks, and I'm fine..I think" you shake your head and took a deep breath.
>"Okay..Anyway it's time to go nas/trash/a and the boss are already on the cart" /out/zi points over to the wagon stopped right outside the inn.
"okay. but I don't suppose tho boss have an extra cartographer's kit lying around?"
>"Why what happened to yours?"
"uhh...."
>Lie(write in)
>Tell the truth.

>>1453643
"I think a pickpocket got it while I was...walking?" you feign confusion in an attempt to make you lie somewhat convincing.
>"I see....I see so where did you get the book from?" /out/zi crossed his arms and raised his right eyebrow giving you the sense that he doesn't quite believe you.
"I uhh...found it after the pickpocket took it?"
>"Sure you did, and you probably saw it last in that flea market over there right?" he said with a sly grin in his face. "Tell you what, Give me the rest of your shekels and I'll help you lie your way out of this one. So how about it?"
Wat do?
>>
>>1454098
Well shit.
Fine, but you're gonna help me look for a replacement.
>>
>>1454105
Trying to convince him?
>>
>>1454154
Nah, just saying it to him, so it doesn't look like we caved that easily.
>>
>>1454098
"Fine, but you're gonna help me look for a replacement" You begrudgingly hand /out/zi your shekel purse which he promptly drops.
>"stre/k/i look" /out/zi pointed at your shekel purse with a surprised look in his face "A shekel, how lucky. Right anon?"
"Yes very lucky" You grumbled as /out/zi picked up the shekel purse and pulled out a shekel
>"YES WE HAVE MANY LUCK" stre/k/i took the shekel off of /out/zi's hand and put it straight into one of his many ammo pocket.
>"Anyway, we have to go back to the cart, the boss is getting antsy." the three of you began walking back to the cart however stops midway to fish something out of his pocket. "Not a word to the boss about this." /out/zi slipped something into your pockets and copping a feel making you jump and squeal a little.
"Jaysus christ what the hell" you slap his hand away before he gets too close to your nether region then checked you pockets to find, what seemed to be, a compass. before you could pull it out of your pocket /out/zi leaned in really close and whispered
>"Your resistance only makes my dick harder"
Nope, nope nope nope. You booked it for the cart and towards your boss who was much less likely to...
