Maribel Quest Continuation: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, I think I'll take the potion and the cube, in that case, on the remainder of my credit."
>Obtain said items

[UncertainJakutten]

>Wait.
> "Um, actually what about the Green Yo-Yo and the Jar of Corn?"
> Examine those

Sorry, I really, really, REALLY like having my nonconventional toys for fighting. If they cost too much then I'll drop them.

>You start to leave, then consider a few other items.
>"The Yo-Yo is exactly what it looks like," says Rinnosuke. "The Jar of Corn Kernels, however, has a curious enchantment. If thrown over a tilled field, they'll plant themselves."

[UncertainJakutten]

>"Hmm, interesting. Well, the Yoyo certainly interests me. What about the Bag of Birdseed, the Jeweled Box, the vial of sand grains, and the Bolt of Silk?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hmm, interesting. Well, the Yoyo certainly interests me. What about the Bag of Birdseed, the Jeweled Box, the vial of sand grains, and the Bolt of Silk?"

>"The Bag of Birdseed is just that. The Jeweled Box is a container, well made but nothing else interesting about it. As it the Bolt of Silk. The Vial of Sand Grains is an interesting artifact. It has a grain of sand from all the known continents of the outside world."

> "What would you like for them?"

[Kasu]

> Yuka mentioned that we could use that flower she gave us for trading, so give him that.

[UncertainJakutten]

I think the flower might be worth more than the items I asked for. Hence why I'm having a look at what we have. I should be able to trade something more trivial.

[E-Nazrin]

I'm not sure how a silk flower would have ANY practical worth.

Granted, a lot of the others would only be good for us as presents, but...

[UncertainJakutten]

> Does Byakuren want the floating stone back? I think she wanted it back, didn't she?
> Inquire about the worth of the silk flower to Rinnosuke.

[E-Nazrin]

>Byakuren wanted her magic branch back for sentimental reasons, but said that the enchantment on the stone will fade with time. If we can take off on our own with ease (its original intent in helping) then it's probably worthless to us. Unless it helps with that.
>It'd be easy to test by just leaving it on the ground once and seeing if flying is any more difficult, but that'd look rather suspicious to Rinnosuke, wouldn't it?

[Hello Purvis]

> Does Byakuren want the floating stone back? I think she wanted it back, didn't she?
> Inquire about the worth of the silk flower to Rinnosuke.

>She does not want the Floating Stone back.
>"Hmm, I might give you a couple of cheap items, or one moderately valuable one."

>It'd be easy to test by just leaving it on the ground once and seeing if flying is any more difficult, but that'd look rather suspicious to Rinnosuke, wouldn't it?

>She does wish to have the Branch back. You have not used it or the Floating Stone in some time.
>That would likely be a good test.

[UncertainJakutten]

> "What does the bolt of silk qualify as? And the Yoyo?"
> I don't think we need to test the stone since we haven't been using it as a focus at all.

[Hello Purvis]

> "What does the bolt of silk qualify as? And the Yoyo?"
> I don't think we need to test the stone since we haven't been using it as a focus at all.

>"The bolt is a little more than moderately valuable. But...perhaps. It would cover the Yo-yo, and one other small item."
>You have not been using it as a focus since this morning.

[UncertainJakutten]

Hmm. Well, how do you all feel about the spellcard?

[Kilgamayan]

I have a hard time giving the spellcard away from a storytelling standpoint, since it's Baby's First Capture and all, but I guess I have no 'logical' objection, which I imagine is what you guys are more concerned with.

[UncertainJakutten]

Nah, I can understand not giving up the card. How do we feel about the wine?

[Kilgamayan]

I have no particular attachment to the sake.

[UncertainJakutten]

> "Hmm...how much is this sake worth to you? I imagine it's at least somewhat decent stuff since Yuugi gave it to me."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hmm...how much is this sake worth to you? I imagine it's at least somewhat decent stuff since Yuugi gave it to me."

>He considers it for a moment. "That is worth more than a bolt of silk. I would give you the Bottle of Soft Light or the Powder is Somnolessence for it."

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

> "Hmm...can you tell me more about the bottle of soft light?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hmm...can you tell me more about the bottle of soft light?"

>"It is approximately a day's worth of condensed sunlight," says Rinnosuke, "Quite pure and ready to be used as an enchanting component. Unfortunately, its shelf is only a couple years."

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

> "And how close is that shelf life to expiring?"

I think I prefer to light. Does anyone want the sleep powder instead?

[Hello Purvis]

> "And how close is that shelf life to expiring?"

>Rinnosuke glances toward it. "It's fresh. You should have a while yet."

>_

[Kasu]

> Go for the light.

[UncertainJakutten]

> "Ok. So, the floating stone for the yoyo, and the sake for the silk and bottle?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ok. So, the floating stone for the yoyo, and the sake for the silk and bottle?"

>"Ah, I didn't say that I would give you the Bolt of Silk and the Bottle of Soft Light, just that it was worth the Bottle of Soft Light."

[UncertainJakutten]

> "Ah, right, sorry, I misunderstood. Is there a chance I could get the Yoyo and the Bolt for the wine?"
