<strong>DM: Though any of the three methods chosen would netted the result Mira desired, the combination of all three seemed less effective overall; serving to confuse the man she is trying to bargain with.</strong><br/><br/>Confronted by this odd combination of negotiation tactics, the vistani trader looked more perplexed than anything, not quite comprehending what her intent might be. He gauged the warlock carefully, as if unsure that she was in her right mind before addressing his next statement not to her, but to the druid who had been enraptured through his telling of events. He apparently thought her a safer bet to negotiate with.<br/><br/>"Your friend seems a big light on gold...perhaps you have the funds I require? I would be willing to go as low as 35 gold for the item, though at that price I am slitting my own throat. I spent more on just coming to this inn."<br/><br/>The druid considered his words for a moment, and then shook her head mildly, dismissing the notion. When she responded, her words were for both of them, and spoken with earnest regret.<br/><br/>"Sadly, I only have 15 gold which I could spend on such an endeavor. The journey has been long, and I have spent most of my earnings. Perhaps if we pooled our resources?”<br/><br/>The question hung in hopeful silence towards the warlock, an admission perhaps from the druid that she was not prepared to shoulder the burden of such a quest on her own.
