Selling An End Stone(s)

[Princeton 396]

*Rasha frowns as he see's the lack of bidders "Nobody will buy the stone fromma Rasha?"

[LaCabra (Soda) 1519]

"Pss'! I go' somethin' other than pies ter offer, little cat..."

[Princeton 396]

*Rasha turns curiously "Whatta do you have?"

[Slic3man 484]

*A man in dark robes trimmed in purple begins to approach the small kitten, crouching as his robes disperse slightly. He leaves a note right near the kitten as he walks by*

"Little one, I plead to you that you give me that stone you hold in your hands. You know not of what it is, but I do. Onlany wishes it to be upon us, and it is something of our prayers. Please, once more, let us obtain it so we may worship in peace.

- Vitale Lamonte~"

*He then continues looking to the kitten with a desperate face, hoping to obtain his sacred stone*

*Rasha looks at the man and laughs "No minas, No stone."

[Slic3man 484]

*He crouches near the kitten, a frown upon his face*

"It is sacred to my brothers and I. We may not shower you in minas, but we will be in your debt little one. The stone is sacred to us, we need it small one... You are not to get anyone to buy it anyways, why not give it to someone whom needs it. Please, do not let greed envelope you..."

*He continues looking into the kitten's eyes desperately. His dark purple ones seething at his*

[Princeton 396]

*Rasha frowns and scurries away from the man "I will find someone eventually!"

((I wish an Assassin character would see the potential here, approach behind this Kha and teach him why carrying an item worth "10,000" minas is a poor idea. Perhaps something like this"

(Proposed RP, subject to change)

Drauka is on a special mission today. Seeing the Kha he watches the people as they pass by, the Kha shouting about its value and offering to take Diamonds or gold as payment. I have a better idea, I shall give him blood for his precious stone, if I am careful enough I might not even have to spill any of the precious material on the ground.

As he watches the crowd an idea forms in his head, quickly he returns to a shelter he secretly maintains nearby and enters the workshop. After nearly an hour he exits with something small wrapped in black cloth, and a vial of poison.

Returning to the same spot he watches for a little while longer and as he sees the day is fading away pulls the vial out and begins applying the poison to a small knife, The blade has been coated in a black substance so as to not glean in the light and give away its position. After affixing the poison he slowly makes his way around the crowd and the Kha until he is behind him out of sight. Drawing back his hood to reveal a face not his own but shrouded in magic to hide his identity. He slowly, calmly walks up behind the Kha, and ((7 out of 10)) inserts the knife into his back, loudly enough for any watching to hear. He asked the Kha to let him see the stone. The poison quickly doing its work the Kha is completely paralyzed not even his eyes betray such a well crafted combination of ingredients.

Taking the stone from this hands, he tosses it in the air back and forth. Mystifying anyone who happens to be watching. Hmm its lighter than I would have expected, saying loudly for everyone to hear, Doesn't seem to be anything more than carefully crafted sandstone though, surely you don't expect us to pay so dearly for common sandstone? As he looks to the Kha, You don't look so well perhaps you should sit and rest. He places a hand on the Khas back and "helps" him sit down. As he turns to walk away he quickly switches the new stone for the one under the black cloth he carefully crafted from sandstone and Illusion magic before he came, he drops the imitation stone into the Khas lap and walks off into the shadows.

(Please note that this is subjective RP, as I find that form based RP can take quite a while I openly write my full intentions and submit them at once, In this way the other people present can have there say as well, Such as. Should a Master Thief, or Illusionist also be present they could see though the tricks and deception. Or should my roll not be high enough to effectively sneak the target.)

In any case, This is only a "What If" Scenario, I am neither a master assassin, nor Illusionist however I hope someone will be inspired to create such a character as they would be most rewarding.))

(( My character is in the Cloud Temple with an ample amount of people around him trying to purchase or thinking about purchasing the stone. Don't you think it would be a little suspicious to have someone come into the middle of the group and take it out of my characters hands forcefully considering my character would never let anyone else touch it. ))

[domainoft 191]

((Of coarse it would, hence all the trouble of creating a duplicate stone, poison and well crafted speech as to "settle" the crowd, They wouldn't know much about you or the robed figure, and as his face is plainly visible would not raise any additional alarm, like you say. Who would just walk up and steal something right from your hands, sometimes the most unexpected is to be expected. The greatest of thieves will take what they want from right under your nose in broad daylight, as a crowd watches them, he will give them a show and entertainment, and leave them bewildered. And he shall disappear to the shadows of society before anyone realities what is happened. In this case few will truly care for you enough to even be angry, and you shall awake in the monks care shortly with little more information about the assailant than the passersby.

Like I said, I only present this to you so that you might learn, and strengthen your RP, I am neither a villain nor an Illusionist, but have seen the error in public auctions like this for some time. Please take from this, and should someone ever invoke this sort of RP accept it, It can provide great fun for everyone.))

Rasha looks around, checking to see if the priest is gone. He proceeds to shout "Some say they possess magical qualities!"

[Hobolympic 1093]

"I'll tell thee what. 300 dnurms for the stone, so thou do not hath to walk home hungry, okay?"

"I'll tell thee what. 300 dnurms for the stone, so thou do not hath to walk home hungry, okay?"

*Rasha turns to the man and raises an eyebrow "300? Are you crazy?"*

[Heero 4092]

Deke rolls his eyes at the Kha. Raising his dully as he calls out.

"Three thousand Minas for the stone. Happy little Kha?"

[hosper 77]

*Hosper watches the whole affair. He then walks up close behind Deke*

"If you seek more of said stone I to have acquired one piece of the stuff that I wouldn't mind parting with how does 2750 minas sound to you?"
