[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

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.

Ran's a fairly frugal man, but he ain't a cheapskate when it comes to his friends! He'll pay $1200, $1500, and $1500 for Byron's, Roarck, and Mystery Person's gifts, respectively, because they DESERVE as quality product he can reasonably afford! I'll let you determine what Gemstone sends to Roark (As Ran would know what they like and which gemstones he doesn't already have), and he'll send that and Mystery Person's gift to their PCs ASAP with the messages I specified! Byron's will have to wait until later, but it should be worth it!

As for the Type Gems, he'd be fairly interested in them (As he's heard rumors about how good they can be), and would go over to the Sales Associate and asked if he could buy 3 Dark Gems, 2 Ghost, Normal, and Fire Gems, and 1 Fairy and Steel, for a total of $3200 Poke. 1 of the Dark Gems is going to be offered to Diam to 'try out' (Read: On nom nom nom) to see what happens after the purchase, as he's curious what a Type Gem would do for her. 

(Note: He'll have her 'Try Out' the gem well far away and outside the jewelry store, as if he lets her out in there she's going to cause problems, one way or another! Unless a Sableye's bite marks on gemstones increases their value in this universe, like it did in Iron's, but even then it be terribly rude to let THAT happen, so he won't.)

Finally, as he purchases the Type Gems, a thought suddenly strikes him: 'Wait a minute......Dragons love wealth and treasure. Especially gold and gems. Hmm....maybe Zorn would appreciate a gift from here. Deserve one for helping me win our match, at the very least....'

With that fancy crossing his mind, he asks the Sales Associate if he could also buy a Dragon Gem and have it set in a 'cool/tough' looking gold necklace. If that's feasible, it would be a fitting present for the Mean Dragon, one that he could easily carry around without worrying about where he's going to hold/horde it. How nice, convenient, and thoughtful of Ran!

Though he was the last person someone would call sociable or the most understanding of others, even he could tell a smidgen of what's bothering Zorn, which just manages to confuse him.

".....I'm going to take a wild stab, and guess you're down in the Muk dumps 'cause you found your tussles against Candice frosty 'Mons to be wanting? *Shakes head* If that be the case, can ya tell me why? Frankly, you did plum excellent against them, and helped us all earn a big fact victory against Miss Jackie Frost, so I don't figure what's bothering you about ya performance....."

In an effort to better understand Zorn (and others in general), Ran Insight increased by 1 for 30 XP, giving him 4 Insight! Now his more of a wise guy than ever!
