A few pouches of salt rocks. And the corkscrew knife for the gnome if she, u-uh.. if she can stay quiet about this.” You place a hand on the poster. The rogue rolls her eyes.
“That’s so weird. What? You scared your runt master’s gonna get jealous you’ve got your eyes set on a witch twice as big?” The gnome sorts. “Fine. I’ll take the knife, though.”
“Great!” You pack the poster into your frock, careful not to fold or wrinkle it. You lie to collect memorabilia and merchandise of your master, so this is just more of that. Yeah. “And if you don’t mind, I’d like to see your selection of live specimen.”
“Oh! Wonderful, wonderful. They make for great pets, servants, food–any need, really.” MUSHROOM MANSEL boasts as he leans into his sack, pulling a few iron cages from the towering heap.
[...]
“Ooh.. a basilisk?” You ask, poking your finger through the bars of the cage. The bird and snake both lunge for it, near taking it off. You smile. Very cool!
“Not quite, boy–a cockatrice! They’re close cousins, but they don’t taste as good–too muscular, dark, not enough fat on ‘em.” The mushroom observes the bird. “Good guard dogs, though. Feisty things. Watch your eyes–they can petrify you through them.”
“And the others..?” You peer over at the two–one’s in a jar, thin, white with a viscous, mucus-like texture, and the other is fat and green and bulbous.
“A base homunculus and a moss golem. You can raise both of ‘em for a real payout–moss golem’s got real potential for muscle, physical work, the like. The homunculus don’t quite have the same potential for physical strength, but you can adjust it to fill near any role you need as they grow, so long as you’ve got the right ingredients–magical work, sword combat, girlfriend needs. You know.”
You check your pouch. You figure you’ve got enough to buy one with what you’ve got left. You could probably trade in Bredbeddle to buy all three, but you’re not sure there’s enough room in the chapel for that.
