Taking the cue from Felix, Irommek bows as well, although a little more awkwardly and takes a gem from the pouch. Holding it up in the light and examining it with a Dwarven eye, he grunts in satisfaction and pockets his advancement.
“I take it we can find Prince Ekene-Afa in the Red Bazaar, correct? I’m not really very good at working with scrolls but a potion may come in handy. What do you have and what will they cost me?”
Kurma, who stayed silent so far - observing how bartering works - share his view. "Thank you for this trust in us, I think that we need 1 or 2 healing potions in case of something going wrong in the jungle" We also need a bit of equipment and some rations for the days where we cannot find any food on our path."

Gertrude is surprised to see that Felix is following her lead. All of a sudden she becomes quiet and her eyes turn dark with unimaginable pain. She is not ready to lead another group who trusts her and relies on her into their deaths. This time, she swears to herself, this time, everything will be different. She will give her life if they are in danger, this time it will be her life to save the other adventurers, who are slowly becoming her friends. She is trying to hide her emotions from them (deception3).
Gertrude gathers herself and turns to speak to the others: "Let's head to the Red Bazaar now. Kurma is right, we need some health potions. At 80 GP each, we won't be able to afford one each. Here's my suggestion: We all pay 40 GP each and buy three health potions total and share them between people."
She turns to the turtle: "Kurma, you always want to try out new things, how about you try to ride one of those dinosaur beasts in the race?"
OOC: We should all have the usual starting weapons and gear as described in the player handbook, no? Maybe we need more rations?

OOC: [I'm RP with common clothes just being shipped here straight from prison or this case a dungeon.]
Felix: " I think it would be better to discuss this to his employees instead of wasting his time. (Looking to the Merchant Prince. Felix will begin to push them out of his meeting area having no success because he's not buff.) We'll be going now Prince Wakanga!"
Looking to Gertrude Felix will try to see what's up because she wasn't all there earlier. While walking to the Red Bazaar.
Insight: 20
Felix: "You good? You seem off, look I'm not trying to be buddies here. You seem to natural take charge. If you're heads not in it let me know. Do want to die out there cause you can't keep it together." Felix not intentionally trying to be mean.
OOC: Irommek has basic gear as per PHB for a fighter level 1 build including an explorer's pack. Did we all say that we were going to start off with no gear or is it just Felix?
OOC: I have my priest pack, which contains backpack, a blanket, 10 candles, a tinderbox, an alms box, 2 blocks of incense, a censer, vestments, 2 days of rations, and a waterskin.
With a courteous nod to the prince, Irommek turned to Gertrude.
“Three health potions and the skills of our shelled cleric should be enough. Shall we make our way to the race and try to gain a few more golds before securing our equipment?
Here is what I propose for gear before we set out with Musharib:

Oniss nods to the merchant prince and takes a gem and kindly asks,
"May I grab one for the my companion who has not yet arrived. It would be terrible for them to miss out on your generosity. Your support knows no bounds and I fear without it we not last long in the jungle."

OOC: Before Felix leaves:
"There is nothing to see here, human. If you need a weapon, I can lend you my 4 x javelin and a handaxe until you find something on our first raid."
Until the races start, Gertrude heads back to the Thundering Lizard, trying to find people to challenge her at arm wrestling.
She offers each challenger a 1 GP wager. If she loses, she will ask for a double-or-nothing. If she loses again, she will once more offer a double-or-nothing. If she wins, the fight is over and she will try to find someone else to challenge. She will order a bottle of rum from Seven [OOC: how much is that?] and offer a drink to every opponent for free.

OK, maybe that last one is optional…”
Felix will try to work the streets for some gold.
Felix: "Well, guys I'll let you guy deal with the racing. I'll go a head and look for some armor and other things good luck!"
Felix before leaving will take his gem. Felix walk the markets looking for armor shops and clothes shops.
