>>6119408>Obtained Spirit Dust>Obtained Elfire Tome>Current Gold: 300gYour mind scours the items before you several times over as you try and determine how to best spend your limited funds. After what feels like an eternity of deliberating, you settle on purchasing a pinch of Spirit Dust, as well as the Elfire Tome that you had found earlier. So far, you have not needed to call upon your magic in any of the encounters you’d found yourself in. But that was likely to change the closer you got to Morfis. If you were to venture through a land of sorcery, then it was only natural you be able to play the part yourself. Spirit Dust was a rare commodity, even in Fodlan. You couldn’t justify passing it up.
“An Elfire tome?” Cassius asks you, eyebrow raised. “If you wanted some light reading, I’d recommend that book I gave you back at The Scrying Orb instead. You may find it more interesting. And as for that Spirit Dust…I’m afraid you’ll find it won’t be of any use to you.”
Cassius was unaware you could use magic, so his reaction was only natural. You empty the contents of the Spirit Dust pouch onto the cover of the Elfire Tome you had purchased. Lining it up neatly with a dagger that May handed you, you snort the magic powder, allowing it to course through your veins. You’d never actually used this stuff before, but you were sure that was how it was meant to be absorbed.
>MAG Increased +2“That was 3000 gold!” Cassius exclaims in utter shock. His eyes were ready to pop out of his head.
>“Worth every coin!” You say, feeling the rush of magical energy coursing through you. At least that’s what you thought you felt. You and your party exit the Solis Emporium and make your way towards the city gates, where Alvin and his men are waiting for you. Upon arriving, you find five wagons, most of which were filled to the brim with boxes that contain the ore the merchant captain had purchased in Rusalka. Attached to each vehicle is a strange, humpbacked animal, with a long neck and legs. You’d never seen such a creature before. Was this what passed for a horse in this strange land?
“Aren’t they cute?” Alvin asks, rubbing his hand across one of the animal’s neck. “They’re called camels!”
>“Not really.” Alongside the wagon are about a dozen men that you recognize as deckhands from the ship.They seemed to be coming along for the trip. Each was in possession of quality iron weapons, ranging from swords, spears and axes. What really caught your eye though was something else entirely. Next to the wagons was what appeared to be a cart, attached to what looked like a ballista. You’d seen ballista before in Fodlan, but never one that looked so compact and easy to move. An arrow was locked and loaded, gleaming in the sunlight.
