To Mineral! (Moore, 88 days left)

[Nephrite]

Yes. He'll let Elena know where he's going to be if anyone needs him.

[Anastasia]

Once again you are on the beaches of Lunia. The gentle, wine-dark waters lap against your ankles as you stand at the very edge of the water. Before you is the illumination of the holy mountain, gleaming bright in the light of far away Chronias.

[Nephrite]

"I'm pretty sure we have enough adamantine." Moore says aloud to no one in particular, though he glances up as he talks. "But if you think we may need more... or something else, well... you know how to show me."

With that, he picks a random direction (that isn't towards the ocean, but maybe one day) and heads forward.

[Anastasia]

Make an immediate spot check, +7 sacred bonus.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 70 with the included bonus

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d100
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d100 --> [ 1d100=29 ]{29}

You fly along for an hour or two - two, on reflection. Simply traveling the beaches, before you see something ahead. Dozens of aquatic blue elves are on shore, simple tables set up as various mortals and celestials peruse them.

[Nephrite]

Moore will fly over to see what's going on!

[Anastasia]

What languages do you speak?

[Nephrite]

Literally all of them! I have Polyglot, for your reference.

[Anastasia]

It's a cavalcade of languages, but Elven, Aquan and  Celestial dominates.

"Fresh fish here!"

"Fine pearls from the River Oceanus!"

"Smooth lodestones from the ocean, right here!"

Trading goes on, both for coins and for goods, or sometimes nothing at all.

[Nephrite]

Hmm, Simmer did ask him to get some jewelry for Illsenine, didn't she?

He'll look around for something that matches her style -- or as best as he can remember. Something regal, maybe a pearl necklace or something like that?

[Anastasia]

Easy enough. You find a lank blue-skinned elf with an array of pearls and pearl jewelry, "A pearl necklace? Yes, here," he sgestures to several. "Which one do you like?"

[Nephrite]

Moore taps his chin as he appraises them.

Take 10 for 41, which one looks like it's probably in the 2500~ gold price range at a glance?

[Anastasia]

You find one. It is a necklace of pink and white pearls, well polished and connected by a single thread of silk. The pearls are large and smooth.

[Nephrite]

"Ah, this will be perfect, I think." Moore says. "How much would you like for it?" He reaches into his bag to get the correct amount.
