"Thirteen hundred!" the merchant shouted roughly, then coughed.
"Uncle Steppenwolf?" Emma caught the large tuft of pink hair amongst the crowd of mostly average sized people. If the gentle giant wanted the item so badly, she would be damned if some chub outbid him.
"Sixteen hundred!"
Bury me. How much money do you have, pink-puff?
"Seventeen Hundred!"
"Two Thousand!" Emma shouted, her anger starting to well up within her.
"Two Thousand Three Hundred!"
By the depths, Emma! I'll take you for a ride off the castle's highest tower any time you want, the merchant fumed, considering whether the entire 'rich merchant' act, while habit, was actually worthwhile here.
"SOLD!" Jack's teeth glistened. "May I say what a fine purchase for a fine woman? Next up gold sand that gives you immortality! Ha just kidding!"
The attendees didn't get the joke, but Jack knew who he had just made a deal with.
"Up next we have another scarf! It seems that someone is having a clothing sale! This scarf is perfect for... um... I guess tying people up?"Quote:
Gold deducted! Please link to this post for proof of purchase.
Yedda’s Cloak
This is pure white scarf, about two metres long and twenty centimetres wide. It functions as a normal scarf, but when the wearer jumps into the air it rapidly spreads down their back with plumes of white feathers that glide upon the air. The wearer can control the direction with two hand holds, otherwise it will glide in a straight line. The length of time the cloak can carry someone is dependent on the wind, but generally quite a distance.
Colour is up to you!
N’Jal’s Shawl
A spidersilk shawl, a metre long and 30 centimetres wide. The shawl is a strong as steel, but flexible. Once a day it can be activated with the phrase ‘Stuck Fast’, and the shawl becomes extremely sticky, holding onto whatever it touches like a spider web. If it gets cut or torn, it can easily be reattached with no reduction to strength.
"Wow, that's a lot of money flying around," thought Fox as he reflected on the last item sold. "Well, maybe this one will be a bit more affordable and not end up in the IK castle..."
"200" came the first bid from the crowd.
Out of Character:
"250!" Shouted Talen. The other thayne toys be dammed, Talen wanted the N'Jal item.
"400!" Two shackled hands came up. They belonged to none other than Althanas most infamous criminal, Zack Blaze. "It'd be great addition to my hat."
"700! Each shit pretty boy!"
"750," the words came under the brim of a hat, held low to hide a face.
"900!" Zack's shackled hands shot up once more.
"Sooooold!" Jack brought his hand down and signed the deal.
"Next weapon ladies and gentelmen is this... rather tasteless flail..."Quote:

Hogrimah's Balls:
This is a two chain and spiked ball flail made from titanium. The chain is two foot long, with a three foot wooden handle. For most people it would be wielded with two hands. As well as the normal damage such a weapon would inflict, once blood is drawn, the balls become wreathed in fire. This weapon is also called Hogrimah's Great Balls of Fire.
"Bidding starts at 500 gold!"
"Question!" Emma Orlouge's hand shot up, "Can we rename this weapon? I don't feel comfortable putting something called Hromagh's....balls into the Ixian Vault. It's embarassing."
"You can call its Fluffy Rabbit once its yours, do I smell a bid?" Replied Jack.
"Another question. If no one starts bidding on this... 'weapon' can we see another item since there apparently isn't that much interest in such a 'thing'?" Fox asked.
"But... The titanium...." Jack saw he was defeated. "Fine. I'm dropping the starting bid on Hogrimah's Balls to 300. We'll also auction another item as well. Make sure you specify which you're bidding for kids."
Jomil’s Circle
The Thayne of rebirth adorns this large mythril shield, in a design that has been described by some as the most beautiful to adorn a tool of war. Jomil’s slender form seems to pop out of the shield, such is the detail of the etched figure. Once a day the wielder can call upon the power of the thayne in one of two ways:
Decay: Jomil’s form comes to life and the pale blue god stretches out from the shield two metres. Her visage moves slowly, but everything it touches decays and ages. Wood rots, flesh hardens and stiffens and metal rusts. It won’t kill someone, but it’ll slow them down in a painful way.
Rebirth:
This effect can be used from the front of the shield or the back onto the wearer. Jomil’s form caresses one person caught in her form and heals them back to full health. It should be noted that this only affects physical damage or poison. Magic curses are not effected.
"Not kidding around d with this one kids, starting bid is 700 gold."
"700 for the Shield!" Sorish said as he raised his paddle. He was a shieldman, he won't be able to go much higher than the current price though. But he has to at least try. Plus he could probably waterproof it later.
"300 for the Hromagh then!" Emma shouted.
"800 for the shield!" Shouted Talen.
"350 for the flail," called the stranger.
"850 for the shield" Sorish called, it was the highest he was willing to go.
"450 for the flail" Emma cried out.
"870 for the shield!" Called Talen. It wasn't the highest he'd go.
"Hmm, not really into weapons and armor but that shield sounds interesting..." Fox thought. "900!" was his attempt at wining the auction.
sorish is a friend... black showdown thought. He turned to his translator who repeated what he said.
"I'll add 150 to the giant coral creature's bid and he can keep the shield! 1000 for it!"
Quote:
OOC: sorish's 850gp bid is still in play adding Shadow's 150gp bid. So Sorish's now ha a bid of 1000gp for the shield.
"Oi! What did I say about no split bid!?" Jack point at the Fox, "Fluffy tail over there has the shield at 900 so far. Any more bids?"
Out of Character:
"935 for the Shield!" Shouted Talen.
"1000 for the shield" Emma shout, then looked over to the overly tall bidder "Since Copyright Infringement Jack wants to be a jerk, I'll just give the thing to you and you just give me what you have in exchange, deal?"
Sorish looked over at the lady that offered a trade. He didn't know if she meant the shield or the money. "I agree to your terms my dear. I also thank you."
Out of Character:
"Got to win something or all this time sitting here instead of gather supplies will be wasted," was Fox's annoyed thoughts as he called his new bid of 1050 gold for the shield.
"1100 on the shield," emma said as the would be benficiary looked towards her client, unsure of how high he was willing to let her go.
Sorish looked over to Emme before he wrote down a top price for her to reach. He then slipped it into her hand before he looked towards the front.
"Damn humans! And whatever that thing is..."
"1200 gold" came Fox's borderline angry response to being outbid yet again on the shield.
"1400!"
"Well then little miss money bags, it seems you have yourself some shiny new items." said Jack, refraining from making another double entendre.

Please link to this post as proof of purchase. If you want to give away the shield, please make another thread in the bazaar where you swap it and whatever gold you like. Gold will be deducted.
"Next up we have some resources for all you budding craftsmen and craftswomen out there." Jack pointed towards a crate that was being brought onto the stage as the last two items were taken off. “Seems a shipment of metal has fallen into our hands, and time to move it to yours.”
Steel (3)
Damascus (2)
Delyn (1)
Prevalida (1)
“Shall we start the bidding at 400?”
Out of Character:
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.
Damascus: Magic imbues into this light gray metal easily, but at the same time damascus provides little resistance to magical attacks.
Delyn: An alloy of Dehlar and Damascus that is a blend of both magic-resistance and magic-imbuing potential. It is a good all-around material for many weapons. However it tends to release its stored energy explosively when broken by a significantly stronger material.
Prevalida: Although stronger than mythril, this blue metal is slightly heavier than Delyn. Prevalida is both resistant to magical attacks and capable of channeling the magic of its wielder to new heights.
"400!" Shouted Talen.... he really wanted that sheild... perhaps he could mug Sorish after the swap.
"Well... that was a depressing sale..." Jack tapped the lecturn.
Out of Character:
Please link to this post for proof of purchase, I'll get someone else to deduct the gold.

“Oh boy! It looks like we have a special deal tonight. The Jester, a famous assassin and clown has just died of old age. Seems like we have some of the old farts possessions to liquidate. Today I can offer you a 'Jester Bundle'! All these items form one block, so please bid on the whole thing. Get it now, starting bid is 400!”
Jester’s Knife:
This small Mythril knife was named after the assassin that used it. The Jester was famous for dazzling his opponents with colour and light before striking them down. This knife creates sheets of fine silk the size of large bedsheets that unravel in the air and hang for a moment before dropping to the ground (and then disappearing). Although it is incredibly hard to use, a talented and agile fighter can move around these silks to hide their movements. While the defence is purely visual, it makes up for it by having no limit on use. Every post the knife can create a two sheets of silk (colour of your choice) within five metres of it. They dissapear within a few seconds of being created.
Flash Potion:
This is a peculiar mix of chemicals inside a small round glass bottle. When thrown it explodes in a flash of light, blinding anyone caught looking at it for a brief period (one post strong effect, weak effect for another two posts). The downside, you can only carry one of these bad boys a day, so use it wisely! (One use a day, another one is given the next day from ‘The Supplier’)
The Red Ribbon:
This is a three foot long, one inch wide red ribbon. It is made from fine N’Jal Spidersilk, and is nearly unbreakable. A fantastic fashion accessory for anyone with long hair.
The Blue Robin:
A small metal robin, expertly painted to resemble the real thing. It can sing, fly around and generally be awesome. It can be used as a distraction through a psycho-kinetic link with the owner that allows he or she to control where it flies. It also contains as small amount of gunpowder, which can detonate in a flash of light, and burning anything it was touching. It is enchanted to recombine overnight.
Philomel looked up from her seat at the back of the auction hall. Her furry legs were propped up on another chair opposite her and to either side of her sat a trusted member of her brave, adventurous female crew. She paused for a moment, thinking of the interest that had grown around the items before - the mirror, the shield, and then the sad single bid on the prize that was the materials - then she raised a hand into the air.
"I will start you at 400 gold, darling," she said in a bold, loud voice.
And the bid from the faun was set.
"450 for the jester stuff!".
