"HOW UNFORTUNATE! WELL, I STILL ACCEPT TRADES AS PART OF THE BARTER! IF YOU HAPPEN ACROSS ANY INTERESTING TRINKETS ON YOUR JOURNEY I WILL BE WILLING TO APPRAISE THEM!" The monster smiled widely before going into a demonic giggling fit that made Pylia, Shortfang, and Buddy slowly creep towards the door. He put the book away for a moment as he considered your question. "HMM!? CULTIST? WELL, I MUST ADMIT THAT OUT OF PROFESSIONAL COURTESY, I CANNOT DISCLOSE MY BUSINESS ABOUT MY CUSTOMERS WITH ANYONE! I BARGAIN IN CONFIDENCE YOU SEE, AND WHILE I DO NOT CONDONE THE EXCHANGE OF STOLEN GOODS, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DENY SERVICE TO ANYONE, AS WELL AS DENY INFORMATION ON ANYONE WHO I DEAL WITH. THAT BEING SAID YOU ARE MY FIRST CUSTOMER IN QUITE SOME TIME. WELL GRANTED I DID HAVE A RATHER RUDE MAN COME IN EARLIER, BUT HE HAD NO INTEREST IN PLEASANTRIES AND I HAD TO FORCEFULLY EVICT HIM FROM THE PREMISE!"

By now the rest of your party was ready to go, quickly. However the creature had a few more things. "NOW I CAN TELL YOU ARE A FAIRLY FRESH GROUP OF ADVENTURERS, DESPITE YOUR VAST WEALTH SO FAR. I WOULD WELCOME NEW CUSTOMERS! SO HOW ABOUT THIS: I HAVE A DEAL WE CAN DO IN EXCHANGE FOR THE SCROLL, AS WELL AS A QUEST SHOULD YOU WISH TO PROFIT FROM OUR BUSINESS." The creature smiled as he reaches underneath his counter and takes out what looks like a microphone? Except it also had a horn on the bottom. "FLYTING! WE SHALL CONSTRUCT INSULTING POEMS AND SEE WHO CAN DEAL THE MOST BOASTFUL, BAWDY, OR BLASPHEMOUS OF LYRICS! DEFEAT ME AND I SHALL ALLOW YOU TO TAKE THE SCROLLS, WITH NO CHARGE! IF YOU DO NOT... WELL YOU JUST PAY THE REGULAR PRICE!"
