*Takes out a singular piece of the silver and turns it over in my hand, inspecting it with mild curiosity*
You’re making me feel like this is a lot of money to just be walking around with.

@Magnanimity

You'll be fine in this part of town. We do need to be careful where you go now, though.

Maybe. But ideally he keeps that thing as a decoration on his wall like he was implying.
*Opens the sack and peers inside*

@Magnanimity

*Inside is a set of twenty irregular circles with some kind of imprint micro-etched into the center of their surface, along with the flare device and an extra copper*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

It did.
*Turns around to make sure the door is closed and that he’s gone*
Even if the trade was a scam for us, which I’m not sure if it is or isn’t, I don’t really care so much.

@Magnanimity

Twenty silvers is about a month's wages. I think the gunshot really impressed him.

Thank you, Mr. Stergey. This will make a nice starting fund to get on my feet in town here.

@Magnanimity

That worked out.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I was really considering keeping the gun. But it sounds like your deal’s so good that I just can’t say no.

@Magnanimity

If you really want to keep it, we could ask someone else?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Ah, yees. Fair price...
*Rubs my beard*
Ye know what ye have. I geeve one price, very fair. Twenty silvers for all.

@Webmaster

*My jaw drops*
Silvers?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Nods*
Counting on you.

@Magnanimity

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Another cube similar to the one that fell off the shelf skitters from my pocket and down my coat, with an appearance not unlike a brass spider with the corner of the cube facing the ground, and shuffles its way into the impact zone to retrieve the remains of the bullet*
How much?

@Webmaster

*Turns around with an expression only marginally more intense than my normal face and slams my hand on the table with enough to make noise but intentionally not enough to result in a splinter*
We're in the market for a fair price. What've you got?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Grabs your shoulder and turns you around, whispering back to you while facing away*
It’s just occurred to me that I have no clue what the buying power of the money we’re asking for is.

@Magnanimity

*Nods and glances up, as if pondering something, and then whispers back*
Don't worry, I think I can get us a fair price. A nice mini-wardrobe is going to be at least 15 coppers, so we need to stay above that.

@Webmaster

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*The round seems to just be some kind of metal alloy, at least as a coating*

@Magnanimity

*Whispers*
How are your negotiation skills?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Lifts the gun out of the case, aims at a dented and scorched metal plate on the wall, and fires*

@Webmaster

*Takes a few steps back and tries to wipe the dust out of my eyes*
