It was just an ordinary, boring day for the silver-haired mage, Lehariel Leet. She wasn't wrapped up in epic battles and dungeon raiding like she was yesterday - instead, she was just lazing about in one of Genesis City's many inns. She'd purchased quite a bit to eat - mainly beef, and over that, many thoughts raced through her head. However, many of said thoughts were her thinking about how much she loved said beef. The rest regarded her plan - dubbed 'Skills to Pay the Bills'. She chuckled at the name quite often, thinking it was quite clever, for her plan made use of her skill - Astrology - and would help her pay the bills - by earning Renn. It was genius, really, in all aspects, even name. Lehariel was certain that her plan was, simply put, genius.

The young mage had considered pulling it off today, but she found herself a little too comfortable in the inn. She usually was quite energetic, but when she lazed about, she really lazed about. With a yawn, Lehariel scribbled some notes onto her scroll about what she needed, if she was to pull off her grand plan. Of course, she'd need a stand - not the one that floated behind you and attacked for you, but a stand that would work for a stall, as seen in a market. Along with that, she'd need a sign, to pull people over, so Lehariel could read their fortunes, divining them from even the most blackening of darkness. And then she'd need somewhere to hold all her money!

But a thought came to Lehariel's mind, surprisingly enough. [color=92278f][i]'Aww crap! If I'm remembering right, it's nearly night! Geez, I gotta pick up the pace if I want to buy anything!'[/i][/color] Lehariel rushed to her feet, getting out of her chair rather quickly. [color=92278f][i]'Those Wolf guys'll probably need my help soon, so I'd better buy some stuff! I can't have them hosers stealing Lehariel Leet's thunder!'[/i][/color]

Rushing out the door, Lehariel looked up at the sky... and her worries were confirmed. The umbral night was just about to arise, taking the place of the radiant day! She had to be fast if she wanted to buy some new stuff. [color=92278f]"I'll buy... some kickass new axe! And maybe... a wand! Then... some other stuff!"[/color] She mouthed to herself, feet roaring across the stone ground - each step with an audible thud.

Eventually, she arrived at the promised land that awaited her. That land? It was none other than the market, a place key to conquering this 'Talrae' thing. Better equipment means better performance, but better equipment requires one thing, and one thing only. Cold hard cash. After all, what made the world go round? Money makes the world go round!

Lehariel passed by various people as she headed to the Blacksmiths. Some of them looked familiar - in fact, Lehariel thought they might just have been her new teammates from the Legion of the Wolf. But she had no time to wait, as the promise of a big, nasty new battleaxe spurred her forth. Upon reaching the Blacksmiths, Lehariel quickly rushed forth to make her offer. Pointing forth at the Blacksmith inside, she spoke. [color=92278f]"I'll make an offer... in cash!"[/color] She spoke enthusiastically, still with her dramatic point. However, this segued into a question for the Blacksmith. [color=92278f]"So what weapons ya got, Smithy? I'm looking at axes - wait, did that sound funny? I mean, I'm looking for slashy axes. Not-"[/color]

"At the moment, I've got Apprentice's Axes and Bane Axes. Take yer pick. If anythin' else catches yer eye, let me know, lassy." The Blacksmith interrupted. "I've got me some regular old Axes, but I'm gonna wager a guess that you're looking for something a little better than that."

And then, it hit Lehariel Leet like a stack of bricks. 'Bane Axe'. The very words seemed to speak to Lehariel Leet on so many levels! It was no mere axe, for it was named, and what a name it was. Bane was a threatening word, for sure... and an axe was a threatening weapon! That was two times the threatening! Lehariel needed to hear no more to make her judgement. [color=92278f]"Give me that! I mean, I'll buy a Bane Axe! How much does it cost?! How much?!"[/color]

"250 Renn," The Blacksmith replied casually, serving quite the contrast to Lehariel's enthusiastic self. "Yer set on a Bane Axe, are ya? Can't blame ya. They've got some real bite to 'em."

[color=92278f]"Yeah, for sure!"[/color] Lehariel chirped. [color=92278f]"I mean, what sounds cooler? A eensy weensy Apprentice's Axe - like I'm an apprentice! - or a Bane Axe? There's a right option, and I'm picking it!"[/color] Lehariel then paid her 250 Renn to the Blacksmith rather swiftly. Only then did she lay eyes on the Bane Axe. [color=92278f]"W-whoa! That looks... that looks a hell of a lot cooler than my Axe did! I'll chop that guy up on Floor 100, no sweat."[/color]

From there, Lehariel exited the Blacksmith building. For... Lehariel Leet's spending spree had only just begun. She headed to every store she could, in order to buy bits and pieces. Things like potions an adventurer may need on their journey... along with well, just about anything that caught her eye. It wasn't hard to Lehariel to buy something on impulse... something that always came back to bite her.

But, eventually... she found herself done with her adventure in the markets, having spent quite a bit. And by fair a bit, Lehariel had managed to drop to a measly peasly 272 Renn - from 1257! [color=92278f][i]'Dammit... those guys at the store sure convinced me to buy like, everything! But how could I resist a Ring of Teleporting?! I'll go right behind the enemy and go 'nothin' personal, kid!' And that chain I brought - oh, I've got good plans for that.'[/i][/color] Lehariel gazed down at her newly purchased Bane Axe. [color=92278f][i]'I've got a real nasty plan for that chain, actually. A really nasty and really cool plan.'[/i][/color]

But a few other things Lehariel brought didn't have as clear cut of a use... for instance, the Flint Stones she'd purchased. [color=92278f][i]'He tried to trick me! It's not like I fell for it or anything, though! I just wanted these Flint Stones for... for... lighting fires! Maybe we'll need to burn down a forest or something.[/i][/color] Lehariel pondered. [color=92278f][i]'That bastard salesman... wait. Maybe I can learn from him! He made me - tried to make me buy on impulse. So, if I can do that for my Astrology store, then... I'll be rolling in dough! Big money, big fun![/i][/color]

And with that, Lehariel Leet's marketplace adventure was done and dusted. [color=92278f]"What a day!"[/color] Lehariel spoke aloud. [color=92278f]"But if I was powerful before, then I'm like, ultra powerful. This Bane Axe holds hidden power, I hear! And this Teleport Ring..."[/color]
