A one-shot quest

>>46158971
>speak to the servants
Discretely ask them about their masters and their interests; if one of them is fascinated by the occult, we know he'll be interesting is buying our cheap grimoire knock-off (which we claim is genuine).

>>46159059
we are only here to buy and sell the stuff at a higher price somewhere else.

right now we only have 10,000 gold.

also hello anon.

>>46159089
In that case, I say we talk to the nobles to find out their interests (to see what they might out-bid us on), then talk to the auction owner to ask what's for sale.

Hello OP.
What are you practicing for, by the way?

>>46159059
You approached an elven servant in a degrading dress. The owner of the auction house , Belarose, is widely known about his obsession with elves, the second great war did flood the slave market with hundreds of elves.

"Enjoying the night my lady?" the elf asked, politely.


"What is your name? how long have you been here?"

"M-me? I am Zeltheil my lady. t-two years...eight months and seven weeks." she sounded bitter but she was powerless like the rest of her kin.

"Look ,Zelthiel,I am seeing a lot of new faces here, maybe you can help me out. you know something or two about them, share it with me."

Her eye flickered, she nervously tilted her head left and right "I-i can't,I...do you need anything else, my lady?"

to get my writing Mojo back. I still have a couple quests on hiatus and i don't like to leave things unfinished.

>>46159254
>I will buy you from you master if you helped me...
>But only if you help me earn enough money for it

>>46159254
>threaten her
Say that, if she doesn't help us, we're gonna lie and say she struck us (as well as a snarky comment about how improper it is for people to leave their pet un-leashed in public).

If we don't have enough money to buy her, we don't buy her. We promised as much. Doesn't mean she won't work her ass off grasping at this sliver of hope.

>>46159367
you have a point, I suppose.

Lets start with offering to buy her, and threaten if that doesn't work.

"I am sure master Belarose would be furious of a drunken knife ear harlot spouting slurs at his respected guests..."

"What?! I..I-" The slave remained silent for a couple of seconds. tears slowly started to trail form her azure eyes "Wh-hat do you want?"

The Elf looked at the morbidly Obese Doge with disgust "Master Belarose is a pure angel in comparison, he loves any form of art that involve nudity...male nudity. But the man has his limits when betting....1000-1500 gold coin to be precise."

It wasn't a surprise as his gigantic arms coiled around with young men with fair complexions. The Elf soon left you to serve other guests cursing you in her native tongue,

With a guest's servant, to be precise. Best inside source.

>>46159940
ditto. Lets find as much info as we can before the auction begins.

>>46159940
>>46159981
Few of the guests brought their personal servants. You doubt you would get anything useful from them.

"Lady Maria." A servant bowed before you " Master Ludworth wishes to speak with you." the servant pointed towards his master, the one eyed dwarf, he looked impatient and slighlty worried.

"listen 'ere you. this stone be mine fer yer own sake. don't bet on yer life , lass." he dismissed you to 'warn' another guest. looks like it was something personal.
some guest were already taking their seats.

>>46160994

>>46161167
you approached the shadowy figure, his voice was barely audible "Aaah a potential customer," he spoke from under his cloak "I can tell you the true value of the trinkets which will be shown shortly; some are hidden treasures while others worth naught...A thousand gold per item, that is all i am asking for..."

Get a job, you bum. [Leave]

>>46161326
>How much could one potentially profit if one knew the true value of every item? Depending on your answer, I can cut you a part of the profits instead of your paltry fixed price.

"No, no,no...I take my profit in sweet sweet coin, I have no time any future transactions but here is a free tip: the master of his house will show twenty baubles intersected by a small rest after the tenths trinket, he loves to show the best of his trinkets at the very end..."

there was a pause " So, what will it be?"

>>46161547
forgot my trip, sorry.

>>46161547
can we see the trinkets you're offering first?

>>46161601
he offers some info about the trinkets which will be shown in the auction house. He is selling his knowledge for a quick coin. he doesn't have any trinkets

>>46161547
>[leave]

>>46161640
we're not paying 1000 gold for information.
