We just got a fresh shipment of clubs and maces, some wooden shields and spears. And another one with clovis-type arrows and fishing nets!

Iron! a fancy word spoken by our soothsayers while in trance! they say it's of indestructive nature and of mythical origin! search for it we must if to conquer the lands we shall.

Books?!?! what are these books you speak of?? ...another wizard in our midsts we have say I...
Seriously now, what do I put in these books? the things people barter, the inventory I have to barter with?

Very well, my inventory is as follows:

- 5 wooden clubs.
- 10 bronze maces.
- 3 bows with 35 obsidian tip arrows each
- 2 fishing nets (used but good)
- 3 bear skin (for all you explorers out there, you best keep warm)
- 1 copper sword (found in a cave, no one has claimmed it..yet)
- 9 goat's stomach water bags (best in the bussiness)
.....five golden rings!!!!......:lol:

That's about it. Since it's a barter house, I have no prices.

We have a new employee, Rangers85. He'll be the clerk at Atzin's house while I'm away on oficial business (tracking new merchandise, tomb raiding and the sort :D ) so, he's in charge if I'm away.

Yup, that's right, and if you don't come in and barter with me, I'll....errrr, the evil monkey on his own will will assault you on the street with a barrage of rocks and/or wood, depending upon what I....errr it wants.

I have some Magic Beans to trade!! I also have a ring that has some strange runes inscibed on it, you can only see them when you throw it into a fire though. Don't think it's worth much. Any takers?

EA, what can I give you for a water skin, a net and MY copper sword?

Zarn
Aug 25, 2002, 08:21 AM
No that's my sword. Now get out of my cave Almighty.

Almightyjosh
Aug 25, 2002, 09:15 AM
HA! This is MY cave. See, it's got my name on it!!
*Zarn informs AJ that that is in fact not his name but a crude picture of a buffalo*
No, over there
*Zarn is astonished to see ALMIGHTYJOSH printed on the wall of the cave*
especially since we haven't learned to read yet!

Anyway, I want a water skin and a fishing net and I have 5 magic beans, the one ring and Zarn's left arm (if he doesn't give up the sword that is) to trade with.

Zarn
Aug 25, 2002, 09:33 AM
That only means that we are neighbors. That is a different cave. See?
*Almightyjosh notices the words 'The Catholic Republican' on the cave with the crude buffalo picture*
Besides, I need the sword, in case my two lightsabers break (they take alot of time to fix). Not only that, but I made the sword. *Almightyjosh notices the letters Z-A-R-N on the sword. Don't mess with a jedi master. The lightsabers also have my name on it. Actually, I am making a lightsaber right now. If you want it, you can have it, when I am finished. I also need a padawan.

Almightyjosh
Aug 25, 2002, 09:42 AM
*AJ points out that the Z-A-R-N was crudely scratched on by ZARN about 30 seconds ago. He then proceeds to remove the blade from the handle and displays the intricately carved
MADE IN ASPHINXIA
label on the inside.*

Zarn
Aug 25, 2002, 09:47 AM
So intellegent for a caveman (Most cavemen would fall for it and believe that the sword was not his/hers). I am willing to take you on as my Padawan, but it won't be easy. Your lightsaber should be completed tomorrow, if you accept. Otherwise it would go to someone else.

Almightyjosh
Aug 25, 2002, 09:53 AM
Padawan, hmmmmm....
As long as I don't have to give up my day job, sure!

And EA, WHERE IS ARE MY WATERSKIN AND FISHING NET!!!
*rings little bell*

Zarn

Here is your first lesson. A jedi always has patience, my apprentice. Mediate, AJ.

A waterskin and a club for these two pots, EA.

But I would still like to have a waterskin and fishing net.

Sorry for the delay, I was out in the wilderness searching for more stuff to barter. Where is that assistant of mine?!? anyway... hmmm...yes, yes, let's see now..hmm... ahemm.. nice ring, put in on the table, I dare not tuch it...magic beans you say? well..let's have a look now, oh...yes..I know these, very special they are....I'll trade you these items for the net and the water skin. Now, about the sword, since it's yours it's quite valuable..a fine warrior like yourself has no doubt used this item countless times... I'll offer you..let me check what I've got...hmmm..maybe...yes. why not. (searches in the bags he brought from the wilderness) perhaps you'd be interested in these fine leather and bronce boots, finely crafted from a sacrified balrog, enchanted by the wild Luatha tribes to the north, they are quite magical..you can pass thru swamps and walk light as a feather with them. How about it?

Hmmm..let's see...quite astonishing, especially since we haven't discovered potery yet!...quite crude they are...are you sure they can support water inside them?...hmmm (looks at the second pot quite closely) this one is chipped at the rim...look at this.. tisk tisk...poor craftsmanship, surely made by the Israthlies from the east...I'll give you the fishing net for both of them. Do you agree?

Vegetables huh? ....I can always get them from the groceries. What do your vegetables have that are better? let's have a look...a golden sword is quite expensive to attain and only the finests warriors should have them...it's worth more than a bag of onions..

Yes, they are from another civilization. In fact, it is the Israthlies. I wanted a waterskin and club, though.

Ehecatl Atzin
Aug 26, 2002, 04:58 PM
Hmmm...let's see..what else do you have in those pockets of yours? perhaps a strange rock, a fine piece of flint? you have to offer something else besides chiped pots..a club alone is worth a cotton shirt at the least.

These pots were made for the emperor of Israthlies. There are no pots in this nation or in the nation of the Israthlies. They were wiped out by barbarians. They destroyed all their pots. You could find out how to make them. I, for one, don't have the time.

Attention! Attention!!

Our recent visit from the Aztecs have given me the oportunity to barter objects with them! I have a new, shiny pure gold sword!! now....who wanted a golden sword?? I have one.

Also, we have some fine obsidian daggers, aparently used for sacrifice in those regions, I recomend using then to cut cucumbers..unless you want to sacrifice a worker somewhere..... They have a solid silver handle with jades at the tip, the blade is pure obsidian that shines velvet black like the moonless night. We have 3.

And we have many (haven't counted yet) huipils they call them, they are a fine garment for women. Made of 100% cotton, they are hand made and addorned with bright, clear colors that make out animals, plants, gods and different patterns. Any takers?

Ehecatl Atzin

PS don't forget, we still have Almightyjosh's sword on display (points at the box above the entrance) and up for barter.

Rings? what rings? ooohh....the five golden rings bit? that was just a joke :D But we do have those obsidian blades, quite rare, made of pure silver and jade. They are among the finest things we have to offer. What's that now? you still want rings? hmmmm...let me check....ahhhh..yes..perhaps..(Ehecatl runs to back of the store and comes back with a paper envelope) ....Almightyjosh brought it in from one of his journeys..it had markings but they are now all but gone... it appears to be made of gold but I couldn't melt it. It has a strange power, I dare not touch it....but it is far more valuable than a dagger and some boots..care to offer something else?
