Hirru 0 Posted March 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) The Traveling Flame It must have been during your last venture, but you feel tired. The stresses of your latest quest make you weary. It must be for that reason that you see something flickering in the distance, something that shouldn't be there. At least, you don't think it was there before. A low flickering flame that seemed odd, as it's flame was as green as emeralds. For some reason, you feel like you are being drawn towards the green light, beckoning you forward with it's gentle flicks and waves. Before you know it, you're in front of a large wagon. Several shelves and such protrude from the inner workings. Each seems to be well stocked in provisions, potions, and other necessities. It would be then, that you notice the robed figure standing under a torch, with the very green flame that brought you here. "Welcome, strangeh!" He gestures to the wagon before a menu appear in front of you. "Got some good things on sale, strangeh." Buy / Sell / Modify Buy Spoiler "What are ye buyin?"

Hirru 0 Posted March 19, 2016 Author #2 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) With his new shop under way, the hunter seemed glad to be helping out this NPC. Also, he seemed to gain the col that was used for any of the more common items too. He would need to name the NPC too, but he couldn't figure out anything to call him. The Mysterious Merchant was the best that he could come up with, so it would have to stick with that for now. Looking into his inventory, he pulled out some armor that he had not used in a long time. Pressing the fourth button that appeared for him, he wished to appraise the item. With the first slot already taken by an Eva +1 enhancement, he wondered what else there could be. [ID: 52210] [CD: 5] -1 Mat / Retry [ID: 52211] [CD: 7] -1 Mat / Retry [ID: 52212] [CD: 6] -1 Mat / Retry [ID: 52213] [CD: 6] -1 Mat / Retry [ID: 52214] [CD: 6] -1 Mat / Retry + 20 EXP After five tries, he stopped before he was drained of resources. There seemed to be a high chance that the cautionary yellow that allowed one to try again would occur. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any <Lock> red signals.

Unfortunately, the hunter got greedy and pressed the last slot. The entire weapon flashed red before a red X filled the last slot. The armor was now locked, and nothing could be done about it. That was fine though. He would give it to someone that needed it. -100 Col +1 Good Quality weapon Let's see what I can make with this. Object - Good Quality Weapon [ID: 52269] [CD: 4] -1 Mat / <<Lock>> Well, that's not right. A good quality got locked. Giving it to the Merchant, he hide it in his robes.

Seul 1 Posted March 28, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Seul had heard Hirru actually did decided to go through with the becoming a merchant, which happened to be great news as the young knight would now be able to waste his money on gambling for a unique enhancement. Half the battle was actually finding the place the man called his shop, but once he did he stopped at the wagon while looking over his shoulder to make sure no one else was around.

Hirru 0 Posted March 28, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) The robed individual that was the Merchant laughed when the shield / dagger user appeared before them. This was their first customer, but the Merchant with the yellow crystal over their head seemed to know what to do. "Not only will you need cash, but you'll need guts to talk to the Rune Scribe." "Please stop calling me, Rune Scribe..." That voice came from the back where a head of jade hair would pop out to see who had arrived. When he saw that it was one of his brothers-in-arms, he waved them over. When Seul finally reached the back of the wagon, he would find the Rune Scribe sitting on the end of the wagon. He would yawn once before taking a few mats from within the depths of the cart. "Hey.. Seul.. Come for the free trial? Five appraisals off the bat!" He would say as he took some of the good weapons from the back. -500 Col +2 Good Quality Armor +3 Good Quality Weapons "I only do one appraisal per item, so stick with me on this." With that, he took the first weapon in hand, and pressed the fourth button that came up. Three slots appeared from within, and he touched the first of them. [ID: 53719] [CD: 2] -1 Mat / Lock "Nope.."

It is designed in a special way to appear as if there are constant splatters of blood covering various points on the body. Regardless of how hard one might try to reclaim its once pure state, the stains never wash away and serve as a haunting reminder of those who have fallen at the hands of the coat’s wearer. "Well, I'll be.. Got some luck in ya." With that, he placed that armor piece aside and took another weapon out.[ID: 53722] [CD: 3] -1 Mat / Lock "Nope.." This time, he would try the last of the armor pieces.[ID: 53723] [CD: 11] [LD: 12] -1 Mat / Success // Enhancement: Evasion (Light Armor) Spoiler Name: Kun Fur Hat ID: 52723 (CD 11 / LD 12) Link: http://www.sao-rpg.com/topic/11476-merchant-unknown-the-travelling-flame/?do=findComment&comment=461458 Item Type: Leather Armor Quality: T2 Uncommon Enhancements: Evasion +1 Description: A hat made out of the hide, fur, and tail of a Rakkun. An uncanny instinct to scurry away from danger can be felt from the fold of its fur. ~ "You would think that a Rakkun would be smarter than to just run straight into a blade? Oh well, I got a new hat!" ~ "Another good session, if I do say so myself." He would say as he pointed out the two pieces of armor before him. "These are yours to have, from our free trial. The reason I don't do anything over Uncommon is because of the probability of locking the item. Especially when the item has a unique, like this cloak." +19 EXP Edited March 30, 2016 by Hirru Link to post Share on other sites
Seul 1 Posted March 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2016 He was in shock. Seul always did seem to have the Devil's own luck and there was no doubt that it saved him many times in the past already, but even this was almost too lucky. It would be his first time having unique enhanced gear and he was happy to accept the armor. "Whoa... Now I feel kinda bad about not paying for this. You can keep the other one, but let me at least give you Col for going through the trouble of making it." He opened his trade window and placed 100 col for the second armor in the HUD, sending it to Hirru as he took his new coat in return. [ +1 Regret ] [ -100 Col ] Link to post Share on other sites
Magda 0 Posted March 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The crimson haired woman walked towards the card and regarded it carefully. The sudden sound of the greeting offered by the one who attended it caused her to sidestep but when he gestured towards the wagon she relaxed enough to look at the menu that popped up. "Well hello," she said to return his greeting. She cycled through it and the more options she saw the more her brow furrowed. "You wouldn't by chance sell a custom fishing rod would you?" She turned her dark eyes to focus upon the one that had greeted her. She'd had some success at fishing but she hadn't managed to catch that one only spoken of in legends. When she thought a new fishing rod may help she immediately set off to find a merchant. Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted March 30, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Opal had been following the Crimson haired woman, Magda as they reached a rather odd and strange looking wagon or cart it seemed. But now that it became visible in sight, the woman had seen this before when Hirru came for the dungeon dive. In order to not sneak up behind Magda, the Vice Commander gave some time for her to make dialogue with the Merchant, Hirru. She then turned and looked at the familiar that was escorting the cart, giving a slight rub on the head. Opal smiled and found Hirru nearby, and gave a small wave of her hand to the Jade Hunter. "Afternoon!" She said, bringing up her trade window for the merchant and depositing 3k Col and 10 mats, "I know its wild luck, but anything with damage over time, or phase would be greatly appreciated. If not, I shall come back soon with more materials." Link to post Share on other sites
Hirru 0 Posted March 30, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) @Magda The robed one that called out to the red headed warrior laughed when she asked for a custom fishing pole. Soon afterwards, the menu would glitch for a second before a new selection would come up. "Got some new things on sale, strangeh." The robed Merchant would walk over to the wagon and take something from one of the shelves. It looked to be a fine fishing rod for the up and coming fisher-man/fisher-woman. A new prompt would appear in front of Magda with the Custom Fishing Rod +1 CD. Underneath was the cost of: 2500 Col. This cost too seemed to glitch out until a new price was shown: 0 Col. -2000 Col (Hirru) +1 Exp (Hirru) +1 Custom Rod (Magda) @Opal Around the corner, where the large lizard slept, the hunter sat with it. Seeing the Vice Commander come towards him, he immediately jumped to his feet. She was offering materials and Col for his services. "Alright, Vice Commander! I'll see what I can make."

There seems to be a constant golden aura surrounding it, giving off a celestial light with each swing of the blade. ~A holy maiden of light once gave the swords of her guard the power to smite the evil that came before her, with a simple kiss. The guards used them well, but with each kill, the light would fade. Questioning her powers, the guards would turn to her for answers, but would only come to silence. Soon, they turned on her. With a simple kiss to a random blade, she gained the power to quell their thoughts, and shatter their blades. "Thou strength does not come from me, but from your own faith." She answered. "Facing the evil before you, thou start questioning yourselves and your faith dwindles; so too does your light." The maiden then left the sword back where she found it, as it was not hers to take.~ "Quite the weapon, if I do say so myself." -600 Col +47 EXP Edited April 18, 2016 by Hirru Link to post Share on other sites
Grave 0 Posted April 9, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 9, 2016 What the... I grunted inside, puffing and holding my hip from my latest 'adventure'. What is that? I asked, silver eyes locked onto the green flame in the distance like a pair of heat seeking missiles. I stumbled forwards, limping on my right leg like some lame creature towards the flame. A silhouette slowly came into sight, and I began remembering where I had seen it; the green torch and caravan belonged only to one person. Hirru, the Jade Hunter. Panting, I peered in, facing a robed being. "Who are-" I began to ask, before the man cut me off. "Welcome, strangeh!" He welcomed me, and a menu popped up. So Hirru had become a Merchant, as told by the Buy/Sell/Modify on the UI. I tapped the Modify button, and the robed figure gestured to the back of the caravan, where I found the sleeping Hunter. "Wakey wakey, sunshine!" I woke the green haired boy, before flirting through my inventory and pulling out a pair of gauntlets that seemed to hum with electricity. "Since I stumbled upon you, may as well put your services to use. Think you could work your Merchant Magic on these two boys?" -1 Warvan's Sons Link to post Share on other sites
Hirru 0 Posted April 9, 2016 Author #11 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Waking up to find a certain platinum haired pugilist, the hunter yawned out loud before looking upon the item that Grave gave to him. Looking them over, they just appeared to be something that a fist fighter would use. With a slight shrug, he touched them once with his figure to get the four buttons to appear, then he pressed the fourth to make three slots appear. Two of the slots were already filled. Looking back at the pugilist, the hunter gave a concerned look. "Are you sure about this? If it's <<Locked>> I can't do anything else with it. It can't be converted either." It didn't really matter what Grave's answer was, as the hunter was going to give him a free session anyway. Taking an assortment of other gauntlets and such from the wagon, the hunter turned Rune Scribe. [ID: 55971] [CD: 8] -1 Mat / Retry The first try would flash a warning color of yellow.

Grave 0 Posted April 9, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I sat in cruel anxiety as I waited for the result on my gauntlets. The Hunter passed them back to me, and by the morbid look on his face as he continued on other works, he had cut real close to <<Locking>> them. "Please try again, Hirru. I will pay you all the Col I have for you to appraise it as many times as I can get you to with what I have." I said, materialising my 1289 Col in a bag in my hand. Link to post Share on other sites
Hirru 0 Posted April 9, 2016 Author #13 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) "Alright, I'll do it just once more time." Taking the item back into his hands, the rune scribe tried to focus on getting something that would be helpful to the pugilist. [ID: 55976] [CD: 2] -1 Mat / Lock Greed was said to be a deadly sin, and it has brought its punishment on this day. The rare item that Grave gave to him flashed red to reflect that there was always something to stop the greedy, and foolish. The Rare <<Locked>> Warven Sons were given back to the pugilist with a sadness in his face. "I'm sorry. They've served you well, and hope that they will continue to do so." +500 Col (Services rendered) +1 EXP Edited April 9, 2016 by Hirru Link to post Share on other sites
Hirru 0 Posted April 10, 2016 Author #14 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) Having become more powerful, the hunter started to realize that his current gear was nothing compared to his compatriots. Deciding that it was about time to make more powerful gear, he turned rune scribe for a few moments to prepare some equipment. [ID: 56098] [CD: 2] -1 Mat / Lock[ID: 56099] [CD: 2] -1 Mat / Lock Without missing a beat, the first two items were lost forever. The rune scribe scratched his head in annoyance.

Just a half-plate that didn't have any recognizable difference to his own armor, but a slight scrape of his hand would show the difference. His health would slightly decrease from simply grazing the armor. Opening its status menu, the scribe could see the armor piece.

Lawfer 0 Posted April 11, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Having heard of the man's profession, the golden haired dragoon just had to see if there was more to his new equipment than meets the eye. There were plenty of other things that would help the man in his growing pursuit to get stronger. But if there was a possabillity that he was sitting on something better, he knew he had to take it. Meeting up at the designated spot, Lawfer pulled up his map to make sure the meeting place remained the same. "Looks about rig..." He stopped mid sentence as he noticed a faint jade flame approaching. He knew that wagon from questing with the man before. "Hey Hirru! Mind appraising my equipment for me?" The spearman asked, as he raised his hand and transferred 6 Mats and 3k worth of col. Link to post Share on other sites
Hirru 0 Posted April 11, 2016 Author #16 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) The hunter was surprised to find that the dragoon would find his shop soon. Even though they had only just saw each other. The exhaustion from that trip would make him set up shop here. Lawfer seemed to be here on business though, as he traded several mats and plenty of Col. +6 Mats +3000 Col [ID: 56228] [CD: 4] -1 Mat / Lock Good Two Handed Spear<<Locked>> The first spear would become a dud.

At first, it would come out as a simple warning, but the dragoon came for a weapon. The next try would give fruit to another, and another, and another. Three different enhancements filled the slots of the spear. Looking into its stats, the rune scribe would smirk. "First time appraising a perfect."

Was once held by a significant king to slay a mad general. ~The light seemed to focus on the two combatants, as the storm raged on throughout the battlefield. The Righteous King stood with his trusted spear within the bowels of the other, a general whom had crossed the line into madness. Blood seemed to flow for eternity, as the mad man seemed intent on continuing the battle. The King could only look to him with pity before removing the spear, and ending the mans final days.~ [ID: 56233] [CD: 6] -1 Mat / Retry Good Two Handed Spear -> Good There was one more material that he had sent the rune scribe, but the yellow flash would show that it was not meant to be. He would take the one two handed assault spear that he had made, and handed it to Lawfer. "It's a fine spear, but if you don't want it, I can buy it back from you." +33 EXP -300 Col ------------------------------------------------------------------- After the events with Lawfer, the hunter thought about the armor that he created. It wasn't complete and would need a suitable enhancement, but nothing to be risked by the appraisal system. He used the item <<Essence of Steel>> to upgrade it one slot further.

Hirru 0 Posted April 18, 2016 Author #17 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Taking a seat in the back of the wagon, the rune scribe was taking stock in the back when he noticed a surplus of weaponry, namely one handed straight swords. Some seemed lacking in most things, but that didn't mean that they were useless. Bringing out their full potential was his greatest reason for being in the caravan. Taking a few of the swords, the rune scribe would start the process of unlocking their potential.

This one was a damage enhanced sword, which was actually a really good thing. Everyone wanted a stronger sword, but some didn't want to farm the necessary parts to make it stronger. The rune scribe set the sword aside to be sold to the right people.[ID: 56923] [CD: 3] -1 Mat / Locked Good Weapon -100 Col --> Locked A sad business to be sure, but that was the gamble. The sword would fade with the earth.[ID: 56924] [CD: 2] -1 Mat / Locked Good Weapon -100 Col --> Locked With the third failure of the night, the rune scribe decided that it wasn't necessary to continue.

Hirru 0 Posted April 27, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Taking a breather from the mass of hunts was something that he needed. While sitting in the back of the caravan, the rune scribe looked into his arsenal thinking about the coming storm. He would soon be needed on the front lines, but his current equipment was not up to par. For the most part, he wanted to hunt down his own equipment or appraise new ones at the shop. This would be his attempt at just that.

Yamato 0 Posted May 5, 2016 #19 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The most guidebooks that were available to players had mentioned that there was a merchant with a traveling shop built right onto a wagon. He was easy to find, or at least to identify, based on the green flame that marked his shop. The wagon itself was full to bursting with various items, but Yamato had not tracked down the merchant for the purpose of purchasing an item from him. Instead, the Irishman was after a different skill that the merchants had. The appraisal skill. The shield that the axe man had picked up for free from the mystery box was only rare quality, that meant there was a possibility that it might have some other traits and that was what Yamato was here to discover. "Can you appraise my shield," the warrior asked, holding out the shield for Hirru to inspect. Link to post Share on other sites
Hirru 0 Posted May 6, 2016 Author #20 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) The rune scribe was actually surprised to find that someone that he never knew had found his shop. Though, it didn't help that he was visiting Iggy on the first floor, so anyone could have found the wagon then. It wasn't too hard as anyone that even glimpsed the Emerald Flame would be drawn towards it, which reminded the rune scribe to put the torch away when visiting lower floors. The man that came to him today seemed around his age, maybe older, though it was hard to tell. He had asked for an appraisal for his shield, which he held out for the rune scribe. Taking it in hand, the initial step was to look into the stats of the shield, to make sure that it wasn't something already useful. Of course, he would notice the branding sigil of Mack's smithy, first. It was hard not to find one without it these days. "Hmm.. Bramble Patch, huh. Mack sure has a selection these days. Ha ha!" The rune scribe would look to the man before starting. "I'm not sure if you know, but appraisal is a tricky business. I could easily lock this shield into a rare state forever, and I have no control over that. It's fairly random. Let me show you." Taking a random weapon from the racks, which was shortly replaced soon after by the NPC Merchant that always tagged along, the rune scribe prepared the appraisal.

A fairly nice shield, if I do say. Not only will it hurt the enemy, but it will give you more energy as you go." He would say before giving it back to the warrior. It was a shield that would lead this one to victory. He just knew that it would. "I don't require any recompense for this one, but I'm happy to come help with anything that you need." "Come back any time!" Summary -4 Mats +17 EXP Edited May 6, 2016 by Hirru Link to post Share on other sites
