Re: Muglaroy's Odds, Ends, Widgets and Wagons (17)
Ben tries to smile as charmingly as possible at man, "good day, sir!" Thinking quickly, and not wanting to really tout that's he's looking for weapons to assault smugglers, "I'm passing through town as my Ship is under repair, you see. One thing that a man craves while on board is fresh meat - months of fish upon fish wears a man down - and the only meat to be had is of the flying variety you see. I was passing by your shop here and was wondering if you had anything that could help me bring down a bird from 20 or so paces away?"

You should both keep in mind that Ben has a Charisma of 6.ravenn4544 wrote:Ben tries to smile as charmingly as possible at man, "good day, sir!"

Yeah - i was thinking about that when I wrote this and was this close to weaving in his nasty scar with his charming smile but then forgot about it...
Re: Muglaroy's Odds, Ends, Widgets and Wagons (17)
Muglaroy eyes the man up and down ad cocks an eye before putting his glasses back on.
hmmmmm bring down a bird you say. well perhaps a simple sling, or a hunting bow.
he goes to a rack on a wall in the back and brings back a slim simple bow that looks similar to a childs archery bow.
Anything more powerful may do so much damage to the bird it would be unedible.
Now if you want something that will take down a man, I have more in the way of choice
he smiles as he takes off and cleans his glasses.

Ben's glance slides off of the bow and to the sling, "That seems relatively easy to use - and finding stones to restock on ammo seems an easy chore considering the rocky coastlines of this land. What's stronger then these that would take down a man?"he asks curiously.
Re: Muglaroy's Odds, Ends, Widgets and Wagons (17)
yes yes, I have long and short bows as well as various crossbows you see, follow me
He shuffles to the back of the store, cleaning his glasses all the way leading you to a wall rack of about 5 bows and 4 crossbows.
These 3 bows are typical short bows you see, they fire an arrow storng enough to penetrate a man at shorter distances yoe see. They are very popular with some of the ranger folks out and about.
these two though, these are yew long bows
he says pointing at two 6 foot long bows
not the greatest for small places, but very powerful and give you great distance. Some of the more skilled town guard use this type.
As for the crossbow, well you see it doesn't require as much skill. more guard use these smaller ones as they are light and easy to load
he says pointing at 3 different snaller crossbows.
But that one, well its a hefty crank for sure to load it but has lots of power behind it.
he says as he points to a much larger wooden bow with a steel crank attached.

Ben's eyes seem to lock on to the short bows. "This is quite amazing and unexpected - the cross bows you mention are certainly outstide of my ability.. no doubt. Talk to me about this short bow here... what price are you thinking?"
Re: Muglaroy's Odds, Ends, Widgets and Wagons (17)
he narrows one eye while cocking the eyebrow of the other.
well more than birds you maybe be hunting yes.
for the bow 16 pieces of gold.

Well, you never can be to sure and I'm thinking these may also help against any pirate who may take a fancy to our ship once we make way again.
16 gold you say? How about 14 gold and you include a quiver full of arrows?

Re: Muglaroy's Odds, Ends, Widgets and Wagons (17)
oh no no no, 16 is standard price you see. However if you buy the bow I will throw in a leather quiver and a dozen sturdy arrows for only 1 gold more.
