"Ooooww too late!" Jack point towards the Kitsune. "Sir Cat-ears over there gets the bow!"
Out of Character:
Crafted from fine Akashima Redwood, this bow once belonged to the fabled archer Artemis. Her skills with a bow were renowned, though there is argument on if the bow gained its powers from her, or her from it. As well as providing an excellent bow for normal arrows, this bow can create and shoot arrows of light. These arrows pierce as if they were tipped with Delyn as well as doing extra damage to undead and creatures of shadow. A skilled archer can use this ability on top of another arrow, imbuing that arrow with far greater damage. Whether shooting the arrows or imbuing them ontop of other arrows, the ability can be used five times day.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, friends and lovers, here is the box of depends! Wait, I mean dependables!"
Out of Character:
(Some of these items are single use. Pick a wise time!)
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’)
Red Maiden's Cloth:
This length of cloth looks like a normal crimson scarf. However, when wrapped around a wound it will instantly fuse around the skin and stop the bleeding as well as numbing pain and restoring most of any lost mobility. The cloth is a metre long, and twenty centimetres wide, making it good for covering wounds to the arms or legs. A gentle pull by the person in which it is wrapped around will loosen it, as well as when the wound heals or the person dies.
Fire Potion:
This mix of chemicals ignites to form a small radius of fire for a metre around where it is thrown. It is more than capable of setting flammable things within that metre on fire. Otherwise, the flames will last a short period (two posts) before burning out. Should this get on someone, it would do quite a large amount of damage. This is a single use item.
Healing Potion:
This potion is able to head serious wounds in a matter of seconds. Bones mend, flesh heals, but limbs do not re-attach. This is a single use item.
"Bidding starts are 150!"
"Question. How often can this 'Red Maiden's Cloth' be used? Also, I'll start off with 150 for my bid," called out the last winner of the auction house.
A hand appeared in the air. "170."
"The cloth can be used over and over, although given that it doesn't actually heal the wound it'd probably only be used once during a fight." said Jack, admiring his fingernails as the bidding continued.
"Would the cloth still keep its effects if cut up into smaller, say rag sized pieces?"
"It operates as one whole piece, with the magic running through the fabric. If its torn or cut, the magic would be made inert. On the plus side, it can re-join together if it is accidently cut"
"180, and you aren't accepting bids just on a single item, correct?"
"Thats corret my fine fox. This is a bundle!"
"200!" Cellar's tiny voice struggled to rise above the chaos.
"210" came an answering bid.
"And our vixen friend is the winner!"

"Next up my find customers, a fabled item from those mysterious monks of the Citadel. No need to ask how we got this, lets just say we did."
Justified Scythe:
This quill used to belong to one of the high level monks in the citadel who had taken a vow of silence. When that monk passed away the quill, which for a life time had been the conduit for every word of the monk, was passed from monk to monk. So with it, this quill copied thousands of words, from dozens of hands until finally it was imbued with a special power. Once a day the quill can write (on any surface, even the air) a single world of an intimate object and summon a two by two metre amount of it. For example, if you write sand, then sand shall appear in a square in front of you. If you write water, then water shall appear. This also works for certain types of energy, such as fire, light and even sound. Only metal does not appear when written. Once summoned, then the block appear, then take whatever action the material would normal do. Sand would spill and spread out, water drain away, fire burns out, sound dissipate (quite loudly) and so on.
"Starting bid, 300!"
"300!" Called Talen.
A vine-knit finger rose into the air. "Four-hundred."
"Five hundred!" I shouted with glee. Oh the things I could invent with that.
"Six 'undred!"
"Seven!"
"Seven fiddy!"
"Thaynes damn it, nine hundred!"
"Sold!" shouted Jack.

"Next up we have a special weapon, for all of you who lack the ability to pick just one, this is perfect!"
Blade of Lost Marbles
This falcon sword was crafted by an insane blacksmith called Reginald the Lumpy. Rather than crafting the blade out of solid metal, he used Delyn metal balls with a unique magnetic charge between them. The blade in its default form is a standard looking solid falcon, but it can be changed to be longer, thinner or even take on whip like properties while retaining a cutting edge. The sword is a metre long, but can be stretched to two metres and gain flexibility. The form can even be changed to similar weapons such as an axe or hammer. The only limit is the weapon must be a metre or less long if it is to be solid. The downside is that after the change the weapon needs two seconds before the balls harden their connection. If one were to change weapon mid-swing, the weapon would shatter. As a side effect of its ability to change form, should the sword be smashed or broken, it can recombine in a few seconds.
"Starting bid, 300!"
"300!", said Fox. Buy low and sell high was what merchants did, right?
"Well... don't everyone yell at once."
Jack looked around at the silence and one expectent Kitsune.
"Sold!"
"This next item will be the last before a short break, no no, don’t cry for me. Seems something has been disrupting the trade routes. We'll be back in action in a week or two I'm sure.”Quote:

The Claws of Draconus:
The Thayne of Storms is known for slow but relentless anger. Anyone that knows the sea knows this. These gloves have been crafted from Sea Serpent, and naturally provide excellent protection from cold, fire and acid damage, while retaining dexterity thanks to the thin material. This makes them perfect for smiths, alchemists or people who like to show off by holding lava. In addition they can channel the rage of their namesake Thayne and release a blast of air or water (caster’s choice) powerful enough to pick up and throw a person through the air. The blast is however limited to a metre wide and high and three metres in the direction the gloves point. As a downside, the gloves can only perform this once a day, but can be recharged if taken off and left submerged in water for a minute (1 post).
"Do I hear 400 gold?"
"400!" he shouted, hands still wiggled in handcuffs. "And don't leave us, we need you Handsome Jack!"
"500 gold pieces", a nondescript half-elf said from the corner of the auction.
"Six," Zack threw his shackled hands up again nonchalantly.
The half-elf shifted his eyes to the other bidder, curious as to how deep his pockets would go. Instead of bidding immediately he approached the auctioneer, intent on finding the value of the object in question. After a quick look, but no touching, of the material and assurances that the dexterity of his fingers would not be affected by the wearing of the gloves, Arphenion smiled. He estimated the upper price value of such an item at inflated Radasanthian Bazaar prices and figured a good round number to work towards. The added benefit of using the gloves against their namesake brought a devious glint to his eyes.
"I'll offer 800 gold for them."
"One Thousand" Zack no longer even bothered to raise his hands.
"Twelve hundred gold, that is my final offer." The half-elf said nonchalantly, money not one of his many concerns.
"Thirteen," Zack yawned.
"Just kidding... sixteen hundred."
"Eighteen"
"Twenty-two hundred."
"Twenty Five"
"Twenty eight hundred."
"Three thousand GP"
((Not sure if this allowed, but here we go...))
"In the interest of amusement," the half-elf said as he quit his seat. With a flourish of his jacket he walked towards the auctioneer and tilted his head in respect, as if to as for the floor. The man on the podium seemingly rolled his eyes and shook his head - as if the two at war with bids were not already the focal point of the auction house. "Thank you, kind sir."
Arphenion looked at the man who had last bid, and indeed been his opponent for most of the afternoon. A young human, good figure, and seemingly as interested in the piece up for grabs as the half-elf was. "I would pose a challenge, boy." He prodded, feeling the self-confidence rise in him at his chances of the plan coming to fruition. "How about both of us give this auction house two thousand gold, the item selling for four thousand total. Since we are in this lovely city, and the very heart of such an adventure seeking population, why not put that to use? I shall meet you in the place you call the Citadel, and challenge you to a martial contest. The winner will get the item, the loser shall forfeit two thousand gold. What say you?"
((The challenge is that you start a battle thread, I'll join in. Whoever wins keeps the item, though both parties loose two thousand gold. Down? ))
