[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Ran would buy ALL 6 Units of the Diamond Scraps then, as a $100 Poke for 6 of his gemlin's favorite meal is a STEAL for him! At their confusion, he'd politely explain he has a Sableye whose's favorite food is diamonds after he purchased all the unit from them (As he doesn't want them to jack up the price in response to his reveal), before he'd look for around the shop for a sliver or platinum necklace with a blue alexandrite pendant, a bangle with an almandine set into, and any impressive whole gemstones they may have on display for sale. He would want to buy them as souvenirs for his friends back in Canalave City, with the bangle going to Byron, the gemstone going to Roark, and the pendant going to a friend of his. If the bangle could be engraved with the designs of Byron's favorite Pokemon, and all the presents could be shipped to them ASAP, that would be nice too!

He'd also include a message with the gifts, if possible. They'd be written as follows, to the following people:

Byron: Was buying some diamond scrap for my little fiend, spotted this piece, and decided that it look good on ya or in your collection! Think of it another gift, for all you've done for me. Don't think I've gone sappy on ya now, though! - Randolph Schmidt 'Wolfe' 

Roark: Spotted this gemstone while shopping around for Diam, and thought you'd like it. Do with it whatever ya like, and never say I don't think about ya! - Randolph Schmidt 

Mystery Person: Got this for you, since I thought it look pretty on ya.  You've done a lot for me and somehow managed to put up with my attitude, so I think you deserve something nice like it. Take care, and don't stress yourself out reselving those book or doing ya research, lass. Again. - Ran

Despite his natural/default state of being stern and/or grumpy, the bristly blacksmith can't help but smile as all his partners enjoyed their meal, nodding in satisfaction as he thought they deserved such special treats.

All except Zorn, who was just.....moping and staring at the wall/floor. That caused Ran's smile to vanish and quirk an eyebrow at his subterranean drake. 

'Why is the big o' brute acting like that, after they pretty much secured everyone victory against Miss Jackie Frost?  This ain't like him at all. Hmm.....better go check out what's up with him. If something is bothering Zorn this much to affect his behavior, I can't let it go on festering quietly inside him. Even if he's a onrey son of a bitch, I prefer him like that than.....this."

Taking a deep breath and fortifying himself, he walked over to the not so mean right now Dragon and patted them on the shoulder and grunting at them with mild concern.

"Zorn, what's crawled under ya scales and is bugging you so much? Thought you'd be celebrating ya conquest over Candice's Icy beasts, not just......sitting around like a Hard Stone."

Alright, let's work out some costs for these items, then...feel free to pick your price depending on the overall quality of the item you'd like to get.

- Almandine Bangle: $500-1000, depending on how nice you'd like it to be.  They'll do custom engravings for $200 extra (though it will take them a little time to do the work as well.  They'd have that done after Encounter 1 tomorrow).

- Gemstone: $300-$1500, depending on what kind of gemstone we're talking about here (quality is a factor as well as type).

- Blue Alexandrite Pendant: $1000-1500, again, depending on how nice you want it to be.  Easily the most expensive of the three items because so much more work goes into making them.

And that's just the stuff that's 'affordable'.  This place has some REALLY nice jewelry if you're willing to shell out loads of cash for it.

Thanks to the wonders of the modern PC system, you can just send the items directly to the PCs of the trainers in question at no cost once you have the items, along with any messages you'd like to attach to it.

Randolph also sees a section of the store with rare, limited stock.  A sign labels the display case with bold, golden text.

Type Gems from the Unova Region

$400 Each

Limited Stock

See Sales Associate to Purchase

In the case is 18 different colored gemstones, one for every individual type.  The rainbow of bright and dark colors is quite pretty.

Zorn looks at Randolph, back at his food...

Shrugs.  

Insight + Contest + Empathy: (4)(5)(6) *whistles*  Okay then...

The Dragon seems to be...disappointed?  It's hard for Randolph to tell exactly what's bugging Zorn, but if the trainer had to guess, it's definitely something to do with the battle earlier.
