"You'd have my wife and kids go hungry tonight, with prices like that. We'd have no need for a spice pouch, for there'd be no food on the table to season. Seventy-seven.", the merchant counters with a twinkle in his eye.

"Now, now, I'd doubt it'd be that bad, but alright how about seventy, or I might not be able to buy anything to use the spices with." Mixtli answers with a wink, enjoying the bartering just as much as the merchant seems to enjoy it.

"Well alright, 75 it is, you drive a hard bargain good sir" Mixtli answers as he puts out his hand smiling. After which he takes out his pouch and counts out the 75gp.

"Hmmmm," Trencher ponders as watching the bartering going on. "I wasn't really thinking about spending my earnings so quickly, but I have the same amount to buy something with. What might you have that could enhance my axe for a while if needed?"
"Axe enhancement... let's see...", he keeps up a running commentary while periodically going back behind the curtain and retrieving items, "don't suppose you are a magic user as well? Have a gem that'll let your axe serve as a magical focus. You look as if you're pretty good at swinging that, but uncertain footing can make for an unsteady swing, I've an amulet that can ensure that nothing goes wrong on at least one swing a day. Hmmm... might not enhance your axe, but this helm will cut quite the imposing figure, beyond all the angles and the sweeping wings, it's got illusion to it that's shroud your face, but make your eyes glow bright red! Last thing I might have of interest is this flammable gel... though I'll warn you that it might take the temper out of your axe if you use it too much. Mostly used by performers who aren't using whatever they light up in combat. But it's cheaper than illusory flame, and can actually burn... I can do the illusory flame, but it costs a fair bit more... one fifty, and is only for looks, though I'd wager any ne'er do well who saw you running in their direction with a flaming axe isn't going to stick around and see if the flame is real or not."

“I cannot do a lick of magic. The helm seems pretty interesting but I think I might have to save up my money for something a bit more practical. I will be back when I’ve saved up a bit more.”
"I really don't know what I'm looking for. I guess I heard in a story once about a sort of metal ring that can be attached to the hilt of a weapon. And the ring can be used a few times a day to give a magical effect to the next attack the weapon does. I wonder if something like that really exists or if it was just a tall tale that they were telling."
"I don't have anything of that sort, but if you want to fill out your information and where you can be reached, I can look into it and let you know if anything of that sort comes up?"

"hmm...... it would be useful as a testing material, and an ingredient source....." Liber makes various balancing gestures, plays out the cost-reward cycle in his head, and goes "Alright, 75 it is, Provided that the hat is in New condition, and undamaged in any and all manners, shapes, and forms."
"I'll let you inspect it, but I should mention that what it summons are only facsimile creatures, though a challenge anyone to try to tell the difference. But they will vanish after an hour, or if they are harmed."
A black top hat with a red band is placed on the counter. The ivory colored silk interior is empty.

"ok, that word did not work. what i was trying to do was activate the hat, ser merchant." Furrowing his brow, and holding the hat opening towards the table, he tries again. "Krii."
"As entertaining as it might be to watch you try to guess the command words, should you succeed, I'd rather not have critters roaming around my shop, however temporarily. I assure you that it works, and should you purchase it, I'll provide you with the command words and you can summon as many as you'd like... up to the three daily charges... outside of my shop. I hope you understand, I am running a place of business, don't need other customers seeing vermin running around the premises..."

The pouch in question is produced, and Mixtli's 75 gold promptly swept from the counter, weighed on a balance, and tipped into the till.

"how much for the hat of creatures?"
(sorry, notification's weren't rendering, and afk due to adhd+sick)

"The hat would be... seventy five?"

Liber looks at the hat, holds it with the interior pointed at the table, and says "LOS" .
"Loss? No, I'm not willing to take a loss on it, I thought we'd agreed on seventy five? If it passes your inspection, that is..."
