Wanting to buy a new bow

[Petoux]

I would like to buy this bow:

Bow and Arrow (http://th03.deviantart.net/fs31/300W/f/2008/213/9/2/920efa37f2f83fa45ff98a0e2902a17d.jpg)



Sara walked into the nearest market after her triumph in the tournament. As she walked in several people looked at her, talking behind her back with some comments and disses alike.

One of the small children ran up to her and said "Can I have your autograph Sara?! Word spread quickly that you won the Tournament Of Champions!"

Sara smiled, and signed the excited little boys piece of paper as she headed towards the counter with a HUGE bag of gold.

She looked at the many bows available, and one of which caught her eye.

"Sir? Excuse me sir? I would be interested in that Myrthil bow (http://th03.deviantart.net/fs31/300W/f/2008/213/9/2/920efa37f2f83fa45ff98a0e2902a17d.jpg) over there. If possible, I need the arrow shaft to be made out of an average/durable wood, and the head of the arrow to made out of steel. I have 2,695 gold, is that enough? If you could hurry, that would be great. I need a new bow before the next tourny starts."

Sara anxiously waited for a reply, for she knew she wanted and needed a new bow for the next tournament.

Please hurry, I'm in a rush.



You'll have to chose a material for the bow and arrows shaft/head. That will cost a pretty penny as well.

...

Mythril: Mythril is exceedingly strong and light. When unenchanted, it is weak to magical assault, but when enchanted to its threshold it will repel magical assault. A white metal, it is excellent for swords and other precision weaponry.

# Steel: Providing a bit more strength than iron, steel also costs a bit more. Many an adventurer, including the great Devon Starslayer, used nothing more than a simple steel sword.

# Akashima redwood: Named after its place of origin, this beautiful crimson wood is very strong and difficult to break, making it an extremely good wood for quarterstaffs or arrowshafts. Redwood arrowshafts are thick, though, and can be burdensome to carry in large quantities.

Talymer: A light, waxy, and shiny wood, talymer is perfect for larger longbows, as it requires intense strength to pull the bowstring and can send an arrow straight through full plate mail at 200 feet. Although such bows take longer to draw and expend energy quickly, they pack a very real, very powerful punch.

Ulder: Dark brown in color, ulder is the best wood for regular-sized bows and horsebows. It gives a moderately powerful draw, and can therefore be drawn from horseback, and it does not require intense strength to pull the string. Where talymer gives power, ulder gives mobility and precision.

"Hold on there lass. I have a few questions, and that mythril bow, its not for sale. No elf such as yourself could even draw the string back let alone fire the damn thing. Its a display model, made purposefully so its light enough to be held and give a feel for the weight of some woods, and so no one tries to steal it because its impractical to do so, and you'd look pretty stupid trying to sell it," The man said as he looked up at the bow. A sigh left his lips before he brought out different wood samples.

"Arrows are cheap I could get you some normal steel and oak arrows for two gold a pop, and I'll throw in the quiver for free if need be. As for the bow itself, how much draw are you looking for? What kind of wood would you like? And how much time do you want my bowyer to put into it?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

Sara sighed in return.

"All I need is one arrow of the one you suggested, my quiver will do the rest. I don't think you would understand something like that unless you were an elf yourself, no offense. As for the bow wood, I would like it to be made out of Ulder which gives it a moderate draw. As for time, the best quality and as magnificent as possible for 2,695 gold. I'm in a hurry too, tourny starts in a few days and I need that bow as of yesterday."



Masterwork of course prefered, but above average or excellent works too if and only if I can't afford Masterwork status (See quote in OOC in my previous post as a reference).

Thanks.

Tourny starts the 31st according to you.

Thanks again.

:D

"225 for the bow, and two gold for the arrow, though I don't know what you mean by need only one. I know plenty of good shots around the world, none of them are usually able to recover their arrows in a workable way, especially if they hit," The shop keep replied.

He then thought about he declaration of a lot of money before he said, "You know, you want any enchantments on their? I'm sure I could come up with one or two to knock the socks off the brutes in the tournament. If I heard the rumors right, I might even be able to set you up against some of the big names in the tournament, should you be forced to face them."

[Petoux]

"I'll pay for whatever you can add to it for all my gold. The best of the best, but please hurry, there are only two days left. You have a little over 2,400 gold to play around with to add to the bow. Max it out, I have no need for the gold. Interested? As for needing only one arrow, I knew you wouldn't understand. But like I said, one is more than enough, trust me."

Sara smiled at the man, hoping to give her feminine beauty powers to persuade the man to give exactly what she wants.

[Tainted Bushido]

"Well missy here is the problem, I have no clue what kind of archer you are. I could put a range enchantment on it, and it would be worthless to you, because you're more of a horseback gal. I could put a flaming enchantment upon it, and it would be again, useless to you if you are the type that rarely uses a bow..."

"So just pick out some idea of what you want this bow to do, and I can do it for you, but telling me to go hog wild, while good for my wallets is bad business. Especially if the bow ends up useless. I want to be able to point at you and say, 'This here bow, is hers. She built it from the ground up and she chose what into it. Its as much an extension of her will as it is a showcase of my artisans..."

"So, if you have no clue, get the bow come back later when you know what you wish to enchant it with..."

[Petoux]

Sara thought for awhile.

"I have two ideas. One being a fire enchantment, like a fire arrow. Or a mix of fire and ice. I use a bow all the time, and you are right, a horseback kind of girl. Would that work? Add the best enchantment and most powerful enchantment you can. Remember, I have 2,695 gold to blow here."

[Tainted Bushido]

"Alright, fire and ice...I suppose I could do this for you...I can enchant it so when you say one command word, the arrow will explode in a torrent of fire upon impact, we're talking a good sizable blast that could ignite some of the lesser cloth garments. For the ice, you say another command word, and it'll instead fire an arrow that will cover the target with a light layer of ice starting from point of impact. It'll slow your opponent, possibly shock them, but ultimately you're looking at it depending on the type of guy. If the guy has great stamina or willpower, they might be able to force their body to shrug it off after a little bit. If they're weak of mind or frail of body, you're looking at them having problems. Add in the masterwork quality of the bow, and I'll do you for 2500 gold. Sound fair?"

[Petoux]

"It's a deal! Sold!"

Sara didn't need to say much, she got what she wanted.

"Pleasure doing business with you."

She blew him a kiss as a reward, and anxiously waited for him to give her the bow with the enchantments with masterwork quality no less.

Grabbing the bow he nodded before he went to the back. Only moments later he returned with a bow similar to the one he had described and handed it to her. He then carefully collected the gold before tossing it in a barrel, "Best wishes to ye Lass..."
