Thinking about the amount of healing potions he now carried, Valen felt comfortable he might not have to get more for a while. A bit of a bruise last night had left him a bit tensed up, but he felt reasonably sure it wasn't troubling him anymore, and the ride out to see what lay at the last cross should take a while then. Nonetheless, he had to sell the light gems first. Entering the merchant's shop, he raised his voice in a polite manner.<br/><br/>"Hello, I was wondering if you had a bit of space for something interesting? I came across something rather intriguing a little while ago, and I thought it would be interesting to study. I found these." He pulled out a crystal, holding it so it shone light to the merchant. "Curious little things, they are magical in a strange way, they can take in the light of the sun, and contain it within them until needed. With a touch, they can give light that makes using a torch unnecessary, and besides, these don't run out eventually." He smirked. "Savings in oils, and no need to pack a heavy, easily breaking lantern either." He smirked.<br/><br/>"I intend to keep one to myself, but I don't think I'll do anything with the other two. I was wondering if you might feel like buying them, I would be willing to part of them for fifty gold each, a total of one hundred may seem steep but I know there's magical items that try to do the same that cost over twice that, and besides, a this is beautiful as well. I imagine a fine lady with one of these would amaze her guests, and a gentleman adventurer could do well to light his path with a crystal like this instead of having to rely on torches."<br/><br/>He did his best to present a good deal, but somehow he felt a little less than confident.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC - Diplomacy</div><div class="spoiler_body">Rolled d20+5 at Diplomacy, with a roll of 6, the Diplomacy total is just 11. Not sure if the talk adds any, but still, tried to at least have a nice chat to give, but figured the roll would mean he maybe didn't make the most reliable impression first time. He'll go to next store and try again, if the merchant is completely unwilling to go with 50 gp price. He's planning to sell 2 of the 3 gemstones, and keep one of the gems of light.</div></div>
