Quote from Fitz_Coulson >>

(once the exchange between Birdie and the shopkeep has finished, Ceesh will go back to the lady and say;)

"It does catch my eye, but the most I'd be willin' tae pay fer it would be.. Seven fifty. Look, I don' know you, I don't know yer reliability, and no offense, bu' I don' know if I can trust yer product. I might be willing to go up to Fifteen Hundred, if you throw in a couple of those pearls, a bit o' the scrap metal outside, and I'll even take some of that pond water off yer hands so ye dinnae have tae worry aboot it. Wha' dae ye think Cass? She migh' get more business if we clean the place up a bit,"

At this, he'll wink at Cass, showing that he's got an idea for all of this stuff and knowing that looks, will indeed, help her foot traffic.

"And if we like what we get, I might even consider sending some extra business yer way! Fair compensation fer a bit o' gold I'd say!"

 (Um, who is this "Lady" you talk about? im a bit confused)

"Seven fifty? No, no, no, you underestimate this iron beauty. She can blow a man to smithereens at a distance of half a mile, and smash a hull at half that distance. I daresay that type of power is worth at least a gold or two for every foot it can shoot. As for the pearls, they are quite expensive, I can't turn a profit if I offer any discounts."

"What do you ahve in the way of spellbooks that help magic wielders spells become more powerful?" Robin asks as she steps forward. "I am looking for one that simply aids in making my spells hit more often, or are harder to resist."

Looking for a Arcane Grimoire

"Spellbook, spellbook, hmmm. Yes, Yes I have just what you want! These 'ere dusty old books will do the trick! I dunno how good these are, but I'll sell one of your choice to ye for three fifty!"

Make an Arcana check to see which book you pick out.

 "Ah yes, but ye see, ye wouldn' be losing any money on this! We would get rid of your waste problem, help make your shop cleaner, and help you get more traffic! We might even come back every so often and bring you more business! We'll need quite a bit of magical help to defeat some Crimsons! But, I understand the need to make a profit. So, if my co-captain agrees, we'll pay the full two thousand, throw in a couple pearls, and we'll even help clean this place up a bit, send out word of your shop, and come back! Mayhap we can get a discount then eh?"

"Two thousand, five hundred, 'an ye got yourself a deal."

“Aye.  Curious t see whot ye does wit all of it Ceesh!” Cass says 

"Ye drive a hard bargain. Ye got yersel' a deal, many good fortunes and a pleasant day tae ye,"

(Additional question, is glass something we can make easily? Just wondering, for no reason. No reason I would want all that pond poison and an easily shatter-able casing for it, nope. Not up to something here :)

(You have 8 empty bottles, and a variety of other storage containers back at the ship, I know full well you want toxic grenades, and I'm all for it.)

“I’d be happy to help bottle the noxious stuff, but would ask that I be allowed to attune to my new ‘luck’ gear first.” says “Birdie” to the Captains.

Robin Arcana: 10

 You can tell there's probably a better one somewhere on the shelf, but the best you can find is an Arcane Grimoire +1

"How about this one then?" robin says, holding up the book.

 You get one more chance at the arcana roll.

Arcana: 18 (If bad, use another lucky point: 16) Add guidance of 4 to either one that is better.

Arcana: 27 (If bad, use another lucky point: 15) Add guidance of 4 to either one that is better.

 (of course you get a 20. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH WHY WHY WHY) 

You pore over the bookcase, brushing off thick layers of dust, revealing an Arcane Grimoire +3 bound in red dragonskin with gold details. Strong magic emanates from it, and the title reads "The Tome of Treachery". Searlus notices the ornate decorations.

"Say, that's a mighty expensive lookin' book ye gots there. I know I said that everything on that shelf is 350, but I could get more than that just for the dragonskin on the cover! I'm gonna have to ask a 700 off ye for that book there, it looks mighty valuable."

“Now hold on, who else would you sell it to? My friend here is one of the only wizards capable enough to cast anything stronger than a slight breeze and it seems you forgot you had this anyhow. Again, I understand the need for a profit, so how about 500?”

(haggling for haggling’s sake, if it’s too little at such a “high?” Level with such a big party I’ll stop, just trying to get the best deal!)

 (Strictly speaking, an Arcane grimoire +3 should cost ~50,000 gold, so I'd say 700 is a steal)

(Understood! Plus, dragon skin aesthetic? Amazing)

(OK, lemme see if I got this right;

2500 for cannon + pearls + scrap metal + Pond Poison [I vote we call the poison "Pond Scum" but would love any other recommendations]

350? For the cursed pot luck

and stealing a dragon book for 700

so 3550 total? and we had 4200 right? So we are currently at 650? am I mathing correctly? If so, is there anything else we want? I know there was some talk of a cloak of elvenkind? Where did we fall on that interest/price-wise?
