A large blue-eyed raven has set up a table in the marketplace, with a selection of items placed carefully on it and a large ‘FOR SALE’ sign. Each item on offer has a messily-scribbled note next to it. It’s clear the raven cannot speak, but it has a ouija board laid out …
A Scimitar of Wounding. Vintage item, do not be fooled by its rusted appearance as this is by design to increase its woundingness. Perfect for necromancers, warlocks, also potential applications in improvised surgery. Extremely messy when used properly.
List price 2,400gp, open to offers over 1,500gp
A set of Rock Bands. Unique and fashionable bracers created in black and gold marble, ideal for image-conscious musicians who like to rock but don’t have time to practice. Grants proficiency in all musical instruments and allows casting of the Stoneskin spell once per day. *Requires attunement*.
List price 2,000gp, open to offers over 1,000gp
Bracers of Flying Daggers.
Selling on behalf of a group. List price 860gp, current bid 675gp (Bella)
Bidding will remain open until 9pm the 20th Mirtul, at which point any remaining items will be sold on the grey market in Port Ffirst.

Rux, one of Wik's parents, wanders through the marketplace in the mask of a young halfling woman. Wik had always asked them to keep an eye out for anything interesting, and it is this she consider as she approaches Mac, eyeing the crow, the ouija board, and the wares.
"I know someone who would appreciate those Bracers of Flying Daggers. If 600 gp is acceptable to you, they could retrieve the item in a tenday?"

Mac nods at the halfling and reaches into a pouch, emerging a moment later with a wooden tile bearing the letter ‘R’. He places it on an abacus next to the bracers of flying daggers and moves the beads to represent the number 600. The bid is logged; the familiar intends to observe the full bidding period, which ends 3 days hence.

Bella would approach "I would be most interested in Bracers of Flying Daggers I could offer 675g if you would consider that a sale?"

Mac nods at Bella and changes the letter on the abacus to ‘B’, adding 75 to the total.

The young halfling woman returns the next day, inclining her head at Mac.
"Some competition, I see? Then please update my bid for the Bracer of Flying Daggers to 700 gp."

The raven taps the word ‘YES’ on the ouija board and updates its abacus.

A pale young man walks up to the table, a large murder of crows following behind him. One by one, each of the crows caw a greeting at the raven.
The young man points at the scimitar of wounding. “Seven-fifty,” is all he says.

The Raven nods appreciatively, clearly impressed with this mysterious stranger's taste in both weapons and animal companions.
He reaches into his pouch of tiles and emerges with one that carries an image of a crow. He places it on the abacus next to the vicious-looking scimitar and uses his beak to move the beads, logging Crow's bid.

Bella notes the recent activity, Ok seems like I have competition on those Bracers, Ok I can offer 730g.
Regarding the Scimitar of Wounding (List price 2,400gp, open to offers over 1,500gp) , I see the bid has gone up to 750g , tell me would you consider trade in goods i.e Potion of Speed (590g)+ Oil of Slipperiness(590) for the Scimitar of Wounding?
I note you mention "remaining items will be sold on the grey market in Port Ffirst." Out of interest would this be the emporium ?

A few hours before the close of bidding, the halfling woman returns once more. Her arm is wrapped lazily through another's, that of a much taller beautiful elf.
"Make it 750 gp for the Bracer, then."

The Raven shakes his head at Bella, forlornly. Clearly Mac is not allowed to barter. He updates his abacus with the fairy's bid.
A few hours later, he registers the halfling woman's bid for the bracer.
Current bids:
Rock Bands - no bids
Scimitar - 750gp (Crow)
Bracer - 750gp (Wik)
