Palathadric

"So you still have all those scrolls from back in the day, huh?" I notice, coming over. "I did not know Dragoons could make use of them. I suppose once a mage, always a mage." I chuckle nervously.

"I don't have a clue. I don't think I've seen him around here ever before."

"Then don't bother me with the morals of heroes on other quests. Any hero who has been here for any length of time can tell you this hall is now what it used to be. Your duty is to worry about your responsibilities and stop worrying about others and theirs."

"Arthur!" I say jubilantly as he enters, but then he heads over to Thormanil, so I decide to give him some space. From a distance, I admire the two young dragons. Beautiful creatures. My thoughts turn to Dastan once again and the magnificent beast we had saved. Good times! I think. I wonder where Maurice is now?

"What are you talking about, fool?" I say, annoyed by the intrusion on my thoughts and my discussion with Grimwald. "Morals of my teammates? Witch? Of course I'm ashamed that the witch escaped alive, but there was nothing I could do about it. As Grimwald can attest, she just blinded all of us and we were powerless. Don't accuse people of things you know nothing about." "Quite right," I agree with Throlar, turning my back on Lind. "Yes, I am Monk Pretzel. What can I do for you?" I hold out my hand to the dwarf. "Friend! Can't you see the mad part of the hall is over there." I point to Sorrow's corner. "Why not pester him with your rude intentions?"

Great quest. Great party.

I hand Germ the Items. I place Vindsval's knives on the table, and hurry away, before suddenly realizing... Did I just do business for a demon and an oversized greenskin? "He was alive. That's the problem."

I purchase 3 Remedies and a Shuriken for 60 gold. 80 * .75 = 60. I upgrade Vindsval's Bifrost Blades to WP:12 110 + 120 = 230 * .75 = 173

196.

"They do," I say automatically, not even looking up or noticing who was asking me.

"That'll be 68 gold."

Coming to the marketplace again. I set about getting our favourite "dwarf" to remove the Diamond from my Sword of the Paladin. I then purchase 3 Phoenix Essences. 200 x .75 = 150 Gold spent. 2421 - 150 = 2271

I give them an 85% discount and they still try to weasel whatever else they can out of me. I think, then shrug, ...life.

Surprisingly enough, he doesn't have a particularly bad relationship with Namyrra. They did some business if I can recall and I think we were on a Fields trip together, but that may just be wishful thinking.

I swear my reason for not responding is entirely because of the fact that I did not see your post and entirely not because of the fact that Pretzel is no fan of Fenarians.

I hand the bought items over. "It's actually 98 gold if you don't mind."

I come to the Marketplace and order 1 Phoenix Essence, 1 Remedy, 1 Shovel, and 3 Tonics. 50 + 10 + 10 + 45 = 115 * .75 = 87 Gold 98 - 87 = 11 Gold Profit.

Yeah, they've owed me since, like, before the beginning.

"It's probably suited for lower-leveled heroes." I shrug. "The SP is useless to me, and I can buy a petrification-preventing artifact for 30 gold at the marketplace. I can do maybe 40." "When we struck down Simon, there was something that made me believe he was not yet dead. If you had felt the same, would you have told Yu Shu to ensure his death? Would you have told Nerwen? Would you have lingered behind to care for him? Sometimes what seems right for the world, seems wrong morally."

1. I played in both of the last Ragnarok games for starters. 2. I should be. 3. I certainly wouldn't mind keeping Patrekr.

"Hmm...I just recalled that they sell petrification-protecting artifacts at Fabian's. Perhaps I won't buy for now," I say, wondering if the half-elf will go down much further or not.

"No. Sorry."

"How much for the Feathered Cap?"

"Sounds good to me," I say, handing Warlen the Magic Viper Skin and accepting the Gold when he gives it. "As Kiray said, you would have done the same, though I do say that Nerwen is a little more brash in her leading. She seems to prefer opening herself up to attack in order to damage the opponent, whereas I guess I am more cautious in my leading. It wasn't always like that. Back in the day when I was in the Paladin Order and we fought the orcs, I was always at the front of the charge..." Well... "...but as things are now, I'm more hesitant in fighting people like the Order Imperial. "Honestly, at points in the quest I wondered whether I was really fighting on the right side, but Bella and Simon dug their own graves. "Can I ask you two a question?"

"Indeed, it was. You got yourself some fine artifacts there. We really saved Nerwen and Grimwald." I chuckle. "Here, take 100 gold and remember, if you need any purchases made at the marketplace, I can get you a discount." I wink. I hand Kiray said 100 Gold.
