Trading

With the history, theology and Ecology lessons finished, Yulia et al head to the trading post, "I think based on the map, the Mind Eaters are down the Dream Path thing... The exact location doesn't seem to be well known, so if we go down the path that leads to Ascension, Riches or Old Mind we'll have to be careful of them," Yulia says as they arrive at the trading post. There's a number of Drow and even one or two Driders hanging out at the trading post and you enter and see that inside there are a bunch of tables set up, people are hocking their wares from their tables. There's a Drow woman offering up enchanted jewelry, a Drider Woman offering up beautiful silk outfits, A Drow Male offering up weapons and armor and lastly a Dwarf Male offering up smithing materials. Other than that the rest of the traders aren't offering anything that seems useful.

"They seem to be trading goods and services instead of any kind of currency which is good, since we don't have any kind of currency," Cherchiel notes and Yulia nods. They leave the trading post for the moment and head to the auction house instead. Upon entering they are informed that the auction house is currently out of use, but that there will be another auction later that day. All items put up for auction are items recovered from the deep by special explorer groups and the next haul includes at least one special rare item that appears to be a spellbook that was lost in the deep when Liloth was **** out of the Drow society, there is speculation that the book may have belonged to Liloth herself.

Lastly Yulia and the others head to the Gutter. Entering the Gutter they find a Drow woman with white hair tied into pigtails, green lipstick, a nose ring, a tight black lacy corset that exposes a pair of ample tits, both of which are topped with a pair of jeweled nipple rings and a pair of crotchless panties that show off not only her smooth hairless cunt, but also that she has a rather large butt plug currently inserted, "Hiya, I'm Krea, what can I get you three lovely ladies?" she asks leaning forward on the counter, making her breasts hang down, swaying slightly. The store as expected sells a multitude of sex toys, dildos, strap ons, onaholes, double sided dildos and vibrators including a controllable electronic vibrator and switch as out of place as it seems.

"So... You don't use currency, how do I pay?" Yulia asks walking up to the counter, trying not to stare at the proprietors exposed tits.

"Well... There's a few options... You can trade me an item of yours for one of mine which is the simplest, you can offer up some of your services, sexual or otherwise, everyone has something they're good at right? Maybe someone will have need of it or lastly, well everyone has something they need done, you could always offer to do that thing for them in return for payment of an item, for instance... I make all these toys myself so I'm always looking for more materials. Unfortunately the best source of materials down here in the deep is a type of plant that grows near the water in the Aqua Regis area. It's dangerous to get and I usually have to pay plenty of sexual favours to explorers to get some for me. You get some for me, I'd be more than happy to trade you some toys in return," she explains.

"I see..."

"The same goes for basically any trade down here, you want something find out what they want or what they're willing to trade for," she continues, "of course given the nature of the deep, it'll often be something pretty dangerous since most often danger is the main reason someone can't just go get something themselves, it's why Explorers are such a respected job down here,"

"Right I've heard the mention of explorers a few times. What are they exactly?" Cherchiel asks.

"Well... some Drow or Driders are willing to brave the dangers of the Wild Deep or even worse the locations beyond the Dream to get rare or useful items, in return they're basically treated like celebrities. They rarely have to trade for anything since the service they provide is often considered more than enough, especially since it's not uncommon for them to... not come back," she says.

"I see... Well we'll come back if we need anything," Yulia says and Krea nods.

"Come back anytime!" she says standing back up straight and crossing her arms under her breasts, forcing them upwards with a knowing grin, "I'm sure we can come to all sorts of arrangements if you need anything," she adds with a cheeky wink.
