Surraruthru in the Cauldron (Surraruthru)

[Iron Dragoon]

"... I am a Grand Weaver. I focus in counterspelling, aiding my allies, and rending my enemies to dust."

[Anastasia]

"Yes, yes, I see..." The half-dragon considers, before snapping his claws. "Alchemy is perhaps not your forte, and cauldron steel would ill suit a wizard. You do not wield a weapon? Of course not, you are a dragon. Perhaps special material components to bolster your spells? An expensive option but a rewarding one, my friend."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Expensive... It would depend on what you're offering..."

[Anastasia]

A small ball of amber appears in the dragonman's hand. "This is called unbreakable amber, harvested in the Wychwood of Sylica. When used in the casting of an abjuration spell or mage armor spells, it grants sacred protection on top of what the spell already offers. It is 400 gold for a single ball, which is good for one spell."

The stuff he mentioned first (alchemy, cauldron steel) is in the Cauldron's writeup over on the R&S board. Relevant for you so a link: http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103074.msg1056192.html#msg1056192

Unbreakable amber's stats are here, so you can make an informed decision.

Unbreakable Amber

This amber comes from trees deep in the Wychwood. When used with an abjuration spell (as well as mage armor, greater mage armor and other spells of that line), the spell grants a +1 sacred bonus to armor class in addition to whatever other defenses it offers. The spell also gains the good descriptor.

[Iron Dragoon]

"I'll... admit.. it is tempting. But I've parted with far too much treasure when I acquired my gift to Seira. I will certainly keep it in mind, for after I've gathered more."

Surraruthru inclines his head to the draconic man.

"I must say. I do approve of your shop's decoration. Another time."

He turns to leave.

[Anastasia]

"Come back anytime," The man says, Surraruthru heading out.

Going to check out the other two shops or move along?

[Iron Dragoon]

Move along. I don't really want to spend cash. I dumped a lot into the last purchases.

Surraruthru's just leaving the shops when he hears a voice behind him. "Excuse me, fairy dragon?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru puffs up a bit, as yes, he is indeed a Fairy Dragon. A glorious thing to be, assuredly, and turns to look at the person who called him.

[Anastasia]

It's an older elf woman, walking with a cane and with her hair kept in an iron-gray bun. She wears leather armor that doesn't quite fit her thin body. "My oh my, a fairy dragon," she smiles, stepping out of the way as a small air elemental zips past. Behind youa re shops, stalls and caves, all full of people buying and selling. You can see a dwarf with a flaming red beard arguing with a well dressed hobgoblin of all things, the two bickering over some pottery.

"I'm Flora, an artist. I greatly enjoy drawing dragons," she says, "Can I have a few hours of your time to draw you?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru idly considers... Perhaps allowing this elf to paint him would be a good way to spend time while Kascha and Afina finish up their business..

"An artist, hmm? As I am waiting for my companions to finish their business, I do have the free time... Very well. You may."

[Anastasia]

"Oh, thank you," She smiles and clasps her hands together, then leads Surraruthru on. It's a shop a little ways away, and inside you see it's full of painting and sketches. It's all fine work, portraits of creatures from the mundane to the amazing. A drawing of a dog is next to a sketch of an angel of some kind, which is besides a painting of a pegasus. You see more than you can easily count. "Please perch where you like," Flora says, ducking through a door to the back, "Let me just go get my supplies."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru looks around the shop for a suitable perch. Something that will lend itself to a noble poise.

[Anastasia]

There's a table, as well as a few chairs. Those could work, he thinks.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru chooses the table and assume a suitable noble pose.
