The Bog Market

Bog Market

The huge Lizardman looked down at the glittering swagger, the tiny Goblin had laid out on the counter of his trading post. The Bog market was the only trading post open to creatures like Orc's, Goblin's, Minotaur's, Gnolls, and the like. Concealed in the Dread swamp one of the few places Human's and Elves almost never went. One could buy or sale about anything at the Bog market, Sssysrah looked the weapons and armor over slowly. "Elvish... high quality." He hissed amazed that a single small Goblin had such a haul, there must have been enough equipment for five Elves. "Impresssive... I'm not able to pay you what it's really worth." He warned just to lower the little Goblin's expectations, even as the little fella stared up at him unnervingly. The big Lizardman couldn't help noticing the brace of Elvish dagger the Goblin worn on his belt. All the other weapons, were far too large for the little fella to really use. "I can give you sixty eight silver Lordies and ninety five copper Ducats... that is only about a fourth of its worth but..."

"That's fine I don't use a lot of coin..." Kaxez snorted with a grin, looking around the market place with a sharp eye. "I'm more interested in trade for items anyway... I got plenty of food and drink. Slaves are always good... information about where I can get some more. I'd like to get a bottle of that paralytic poison you Lizards use, going to coat some arrow heads with it." Sssysrah hissed more and more impressed by this little Goblin, quickly he made the deal. Before inviting Kaxez to have a drink at the Bog Tavern next door, the smirking Goblin took his prizes and strolled over. Like everything else at the Bog market the Tavern was a open air type establishment, almost at once Kaxez spotted a table of his distant kin. His keen ears picking up their grunted conversation, it seemed this was a bunch of exiles from different clans. They were trying to get up the nerve to try starting their own tribe... something Kaxez was already well on his way to doing... Still he could do so much more with a gang of experienced adult Goblins, his offspring would be coming soon that was true. However he would have to train them, it would take at least a few years...
