Chillin' at the Base of the Waterfall [OOC Thread]

[Kavala]

Welcome Charon!

I had a question. Is there a place in Riverfall my pc can go to buy some books? She needs some on poisons, philtering, and the use of a blowgun. I'd like to also self-mod a blowgun (and dart) purchase in the armory along with three bolas if thats possible. I'm not sure they carry that stuff, but if they do I'll go ahead and self mod it. Their prices are on the price list.

Thanks!

[Kavala]

... oh and a cookbook. I desperately need a cookbook.

[Charon]

Hey Kavala!

Please feel free to self-mod your purchases at the armory. All sorts of weapons and accessories are there as it also serves as the armory for pretty much the entire Akalak race.

As for the books, I have plans to create the Valkalah Academy where classes for Akalak young and old will be held and among other things, will hold a rather large and continually growing library. I hope to have it up by the end of the weekend, but if you need to use the books in a thread then you can RP getting the books and timestamp it accordingly after I've posted it.

Just let me know if there's anything else I can do!

EDIT: I decided to go ahead and finish the write up for the academy- you can find it here.

[Kavala]

Thanks Charon!

So, we can't actually buy books there to keep, but we can indeed go look up whatever we need? That works just as well (and saves a lot of coin!). Kavala can take writing supplies and copy down recipes etc. I think we just need one more quick location (and no hurry on this) to be a functional city. It would be nice to have a general store type place, or market, etc... where we can get misc stuff (like blank books, pen, ink, etc) or anything else we might need.

Again, thank you so much!

Kavala

[Charon]

No problem Kav-

In the write up, I did mention you could buy some books (I think...) if they have more than one copy. This would apply to common books like your cookbook, but most likely not to the others. Also, some books can be "checked out" as I mentioned the attendant keeping an eye on which books leave and with whom. Even though you may be able to check out a book concerning poisons, he may make a note by your name to keep an eye on why you would need such a book! Of course, to avoid any suspicion you could just keep the book within the library and take notes of what you need like you said.

Concerning the market, Coatl had in the linkmap "Zhongjie Warren (Bazaar)", so really all I have to do is create the place. But as far as I'm concerned, anything that you wouldn't really find at a particular store should be available at the bazaar once I have it up. I'll put it at the top of my to-do list so we can have that fully functional city like you mentioned.

[Kavala]

That's a great setup, for the library I mean, because its not everyday you can go into a city and lean on their collections without dishing out coin. And I totally understand about the poisons etc. Kav wants them for defensive purposes - she's not a killer but gathering herbs on the Grasslands isn't exactly always safe - and would be open about that. I figured poison darts (Akela's suggestion actually - thank goodness for bloodthirsty big sisters) would work far better for my pacifistic PC than defending herself with a sword or other such violence. Ali called it 'old man's weapon' so it sounds perfect to me. But to make poison darts, you need to know a little about poisons, I figure. . Thank you for putting time and effort into this city and its denizens.

BTW absolutely lovely new signature!

[Kavala]

XP requested here. I think we're finished. I delivered a foal (animal husbandry) with Sorian and Danica's help, gave a tour, did horse care, cooked, and worked on medicine after Sorian burned himself. Danica asked lots of good questions, did horse care, helped deliver the foal, and faded from the thread (shes missing from the site). Sorian helped take care of the horses, helped deliver the foal, attempted to cook and ended up brawling, burned himself, and angsted a whole lot.

Thanks for looking at it when you get time.

[Charon]

It was fun to read, to say the least! XP has been awarded for you guys.


Ooooh, and a heads up to everyone- get ready for the Day of Revival celebrations... Those rains must be just around the corner somewhere!!

[As'Fien]

Ahhh... where can a fortune-telling cook find work?

[Kavala]

Awesome! A new person. Welcome As'Fien! If you want to meet any more Konti, there's a couple of us at Sanctuary.

Charon... I have another XP request here. It's Akela, Sorian, and I doing all sorts of things too numerous to list. Sorry its a long read. We have a lot more of these coming as we wrap up Winter stuff. I apologize ahead of time for the number of requests forthcoming.
