Shopping time

When you lived at your parents farm outside of hardwood, visiting the marked was a special event. You and your brothers saved your meager pocket money for several months before spending it on the market in Rockwall. When you became older, you helped your mother selling crops during harvest season and saw the marked very often.

But when you arrived in the capital, you were stunned how large the marked is. Markets you remember from Earth could not even come close to this. Almost daily, there were more than 200 merchants selling goods from all over Calitian. However, this is also why you lost interest in the market. You came here sometimes to get something for the guild and even came with Luna to a shopping trip. But your lack of money and the fact that you could come here literally every evening made you getting used to it.

However, Tocar gave you a great advice. He was right that you need a real adventure outfit. Something sturdy that does not limit your movement. You look around for about an hour. There are a lot of merchants who sell clothing. From cheap working clothes up to expensive ball dresses for nobles. You avoid spending too much time with an elven od dwarfen merchant. Both are too expensive for you.

After some time you find a local tailor who claims to have done some jobs for members of the adventurers guild in the past. There are indeed some interesting and affordable things among his goods. And his apprentice even offers you to alter some clothes for you for free. You thank him and ignore the fact that he >accidentally< dropped one of his scissors to sneak a peek under your robe.

The tailor was right about working with adventureres. You can see all kinds of clothing for travling and fighting. Sturdy clothes, clothes with added protection plates, belts with bags and holsters for all kinds of weapons and even some backpacks. You are impressed when you see a replica of the armor of the great hero Eric Flameheart, a legendary daemon hunter from the war against the second daemon king.

After some time, you decide for a shirt and pants made of rough but sturdy linen fabric in the color of your magic branch. They have small leather plates on your shoulders, knees and elbows as protectors. You also find a perfectly fitting leather belt with two belt bags and two straps for potions. You take a look in the mirror and decide, that you look perfect. Stylish, very figure hugging around your curves and ready to fight. The tailor and his apprentice seem to agree, because both can’t take their eyes off you.

You are about to pay, when you find something in a box. A black cloak with a hood. Simple but practical. The apprentice explains to you that this cloak is second hand. The former owner grew out of it and left it here. You could get it for free if you buy all the other stuff. You immediately agree and as promised, the apprentice alters your new clothes so they fit you perfectly. You get the feeling that he has a little too much fun taking your measurements, but after a few moments of sewing he is done and his work is great. You reward him with a kiss on the cheek, which causes a visible bulge in his lab.

You pay the tailor seven of your coins, which is a lot for you, but you think the new outfit is worth it. You can’t wait to wear it on your next mission. While you happily stroll over the market, you suddenly hear somebody behind you calling your name.
