"I'll do ya one better," Zack said, a smile on his face, Hows about I just pay for the thing, we -still- have the contest, and If I win, I keep my item. If I lose, you get the item. You literally have nothing to lose in this scenario."
((It's not allowed, but I will buy the thing and give it to you if I lose the match. Sound good?))
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You sound like a self-help book! I don't know if you're going to try to hit me or charge me $99 for your seminar! ~ Benimaru Nikaido to Ryo Sakazaki
"I'll accept that, though I'll pay you fifteen hundred gold if I lose... just to make it fair for both of us. That way I do not feel as if I have let my item go without due diligence."
((So, if you win the item we fight. If I lose I'll pay for half the item. If I win, I pay nothing and get it. Not exactly even but if you're down for that I'll take that agreement. Plus, I can shake off my rust. Lol))
Jack clicked his tounge as the bidding shifted to challanges. It wasn't the first time one of his auctions had devolved into fists, but the lack of smashed chairs was a nice change.
"Actually, if you both agree, I would be happy to hold onto the item until this duel is completed. I'll take the money as you've agreed. Heck, I'll throw in a prize for the loser from my bag of crap."
Arphenion waved a finger towards the auctioneer, nodding knowingly. "Here is a man who loves an unexpected about face. Will fifteen hundred from each of us, to cover the last bid made, be adequate to hold the item sans another wager from someone aside from us?"
"Hmmmm... very well. I'll take 1500 from each, and upon the outcome award the gloves."
Out of Character:
“Thank you for the wait ladies and gentlemen. I bring somewhat disappointing news. There has been caravans disappearing enroute to this humble auction house,” Jack held out his hands, calming the murmur of annoyance that spread through the crowd, “Do not fear! I’ve been told the merchant guide is rallying people to deal with the threat shortly. In the mean time I have a few additional items that I can sell you!”
“I call this the Protection of the Thaynes Bundle! Starting bid is 400 gold!”
Khal'jaren’s Hope: This is a small glowing ball, no bigger than an egg and covered with ancient forgotten script. It can provide a small amount of light in an emergency, but its main purpose is revealed when in contact with someone’s skin. The ball can casts away fear and doubt, from even magical sources. It doesn’t affect rage or confusion however.
Cloak of Draconus: This is a sea serpent cloak, of excellent craftsmanship. While it doesn’t have any magical properties, it provides excellent protection against frost and fire attacks. It should be noted that sustained heat or cold can still affect the wearer.
"I'll put in my 400 gold, and play by the rules this time."
"600 gold, I'll toss the orb to the half elf for free. I can't use it anyways..."
