Meanwhile, Ophion had replaced his robes with a fresh pair. He took over the store's operation for a little while, relieving Aurescia of her post while she saw to their guest. One of the customers was a brown-skinned kobold.

"Uh, hi there!" The little male kobold looked up at Ophion, who knelt down to speak to the little creature on a more even level.

"Hello. Do you need something?" 

"Yes. How much arganite powder can this buy?" the kobold extended his hand to Ophion, and gave him a pouch. It was filled with gold coins, much to his surprise. 

"Wha?! I... that would buy my entire supply, and then some. Do you work for a mining company or something? You could blow a hole in a cave the size a house with that much."

"Oh, no. My tribe gave me this cash to pay for explosives. I got here by a portal."

"I see. This is enough to cover the costs of an average kobold tribe for months. What could your tribe possib- wait a minute. These coins are fool's gold. What are you trying to-"

"-abort mission! Abort!" The kobold yelled into a little stone which had been crudely enchanted for the purposes of remote communication. A moment later, there was a flash and the kobold was gone. 

"He left his 'gold' here" Ophion though, setting the false coins down on the counter.

Kara led him to a set of target dummies, each one shaped like a dracon. They were fairly standard, each one being made from the usual tan burlap material and stuffed with hay and straw. Kara stood next to Smith as she pointed at them. "Now's your chance to impress me. Let's see what you can do to one of these dummies. Don't worry about wrecking it; we can get more."
