Alrighty, another post is up. As far as possession of NPCs goes, the commandeering of minor characters is fine so long as they act believably, and if you'd like to conduct business in a timely manner with someone more important you can either ask me for permission to act for them or we could work together on a compiled post. Apologies for not making this clearer.

Your characters will find that the market probably contains most anything they could find critical, though within reason (and perhaps not at an entirely fair price!) I'll go ahead and quantify the money here by stating that everyone has thirty coins to spend the pouches they were given by the king -- excepting Eve, who being affluent has brought sixty. If you want a price on something specific, PM me and I'll give you a quote.

This is also when [@Warriorbulb] and [@Hueman] can jump in.
