Pinpoints

Errit had been browsing the books at the Auction House, there were a lot of interesting things, he read the section on the herbs that were for sale more than others.

'Tigers Claw Flower, Small. Basic Flower. Useful for brewing; 5cp each.'

'Fragrant Pappili, large, 5x5x3. Extremely healthy. first tier, basic tree. Creates inner fire, too much has a side effect of boils and flame belch. Use with caution; 25,000CP.' Errit looked at the pepper tree image, its corns were colorful but smaller than the ones in his possession. He took note of it and moved onto another book.

"Which book should I check.." Errit wondered about his weapons, they had done him little good. He had the Wandering Chains, but there was no guarantee that he could perform the action he willed. 'Weapons it is.'

'Black Heart Regiment Spear, extendable. Poison Tipped, its poison works directly on the hearts of its target, corroding it. Once Blackened, the Heart will die before brain knows. 5,000,000CP'

Errit was starting to wonder if Metal Weapons were the all going to be so expensive. He kept looking and eventually settled for a Stone Cutting Tree Wooden knife, it was able to carve into stone and very sharp. It cost him 30,000CP.

Knife in hand, he strode out of the City and found a rock to test it on. He was about to write 'Errit was here' but changed his mind. Instead he just wrote a single word. 'Kink' was carved deep into the stone with little to no effort.

He went back to the Auction House. Congratulating himself on a good purchase he chose to search some more and found the 'Magical Accessories and Tools' book. Inside he found a myriad of strange articles, like gravity boots, communication gemstones, orbs.. lots of orbs, a Rock that made water, frying pan that was always hot and a set of talking mechanical gargoyles were among the strangest.

Some of the more benign items were things like Maps, flares, compasses, magical tents, stun sticks, enlarging gloves and blackout hats. Errit bought a blackout hat immediately and considered buying an Earth Orb, its details discussed being a great source for nutrients. Instead he chose to buy a few more spacial rings for backup storage and a Map. The Blackout hat, map and rings had cost him 215,000CP, he had spend over half of his earnings.

Errit left the Auction house and went to the bar. The Mask was great, but he liked the idea of the hat, his face was always hot under the mask. When he found a corner, he stopped and exchanged them. His eyes were blacked out, shadowed from view. The Scar on his neck was gone, he perceived it as a blessing from the Goddess of the Water but the Mark on his forehead was still present and unwavering.

He smiled in a pool of water that had collected in the alleyway. 'At least his teeth were straight.' Errit thought. Then, he walked to the Bar. Along the way he pulled out the map. 'If I'm here, my marker is right here.' Errit thought about the carving he had just made, and a small pinpoint on the map appeared. Errit stopped in his tracks. 'I can mark this in real time?' Going futher down the street he found some daisies by the roadside, they had gone overlooked.

He marked them, and a holographic phantom-like image appeared on the surface.

The Bar was busy, lots of adventurers had come in for the evening. The Suns were starting to set outside and the color coming through the windows had changed the lighting inside. Lamps were lit. "Sweizar is gone, he had business to take care of." The Bartender came up and started talking to Errit.

"That's okay, bring me something to drink. Whatever is popular." Errit asked.

"Okay.. here ya go." The Bartender set a potion onto the counter. "Totoka Spirit Wine, takes you to places you've never thought about before. Spiritually of course." He looked over at the others in the room and pointed. See those guys, they just ordered the same thing. Its not harmful, but its a kick in the pants. 25cp each."

He paid and started to sip on the drink, the bartender told him to finish it quickly to get the right effect, Errit tipped it upside down and chugged it dry. "Okay, now wh.." Before he could finish the sentence, white came over his eyes and he was off in a vision.
