(Sat Oct 18 14:16:53 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~Steppes/Noril'sk~says to ALL: *Wind Racer lights just outside of the village, setting down the dead Slepnir and then hopping off to the side. Kori unhooks the saddle strap and dismounts....her face still bright, her smile making her look more her age or perhaps even younger by a year or two. She looks over to Wind Racer, not fully sure if the Tarn is understanding her, but enjoying talking to it nonetheless* Racer of Winds. Please be gaurding our prize. I am going into village to find buyer of beast. *And with that, she starts to stride into the village, looking for signs of someone wealthy enough to pay the price she will ask.*

(Sat Oct 18 14:19:21 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~Steppes/Noril'sk~says to ALL: *Her first and only other time here, she looked around with the eyes of a merchant and now, calling up what she saw, lets it guide her to a small house, surrounded by many large animal pens, containing the very large, Dominian boars. She walks up to the door and knocks on the door. A man answers shortly, looking at her, not sure what to make of the woman* Please to be excusing me. I am Kori, of the house Lanzadonii. I am merchant and I am having something I am thinking you will wish to buy. I will show you if you are allowing me to lead you. **The man thinks things over and decides to follow*

(Sat Oct 18 14:24:22 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~Steppes/Noril'sk~says to ALL: *She guides the man out to the dead Slepnir. He was thinking to conceal his face, to demand a lower price, but the short lived look of shock does not excape Kori's notice. She turns to him quickly to began negotiations* Yes, I am killing this beast far to the south. I am thinking in Noril'sk they are not easily getting such beasts. So, I am making deal with you, yes? *She smiles prettily, sighing purposefully to accentuate her breats...tilting her head down slightly to look into the mans eyes* Yes, I am making deal with you. This beast is being expense in Noril'sk. I am trading you beast for only one of your boars. And, I am not done with my deals. Kori is most generous. *She takes a step forward towards the man, who it would seem, is now giving her his full, undivided attention* You are making this deal with Kori and Kori is agreeing to bring more trade for you. Not just this beast, but I am thinking Noril'sk is not having seafood much? Yes, Kori is bringing sea food and many, many other goods to Noril'sk and she will be asking if you want first deal....if you are making this first deal with Kori.

(Sat Oct 18 14:27:11 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~Steppes/Noril'sk~says to ALL: *The man was set on bartering hard, but fails against the skills of this merchant. In truth, even despite her beauty and wiles, the offer of continued trade is truely agreeable. That and he does stand to make a few coins at the Mage's Tower for the Slepnir tail alone. He nods and speaks his acceptance. Kori suffers a short burst of laughter, lighting touching her fingers to her mouth, then, stepping forward and reaching her hand out, shakes the man's hand. She choses not to squeeze hard enough to break any bones, just enough to properly impress him. Now he seems to notice her and stature more then her breasts and full eyes. She turns and runs to Wind Racer, practically vaulting onto her back* Come, Racer of Winds, let us be claiming our fee!

(Sat Oct 18 14:28:49 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~Steppes/Noril'sk~says to ALL: *Wind Racer takes the sky, leaving the slack jawed villager to contemplate the Slepnir, or to shake the vision of Kori from his mind. The tarns flight is short as she snatches up one of the massive boars up carefully in her talons, then turns to fly southwards, away from Noril'sk.*

(Sat Oct 18 14:32:21 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~ish flying overhead~says to ALL: *Even carrying the massive, four tusked boar, Wind Racer still makes short work of the distances, though flying much further this time. The boar seems too fat to barely be able to use its six legs and, instead of taking this flight to protest, doesn't even bother. Soon, the foothills reappear from the forests below*

(Sat Oct 18 14:33:46 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~ish flying overhead~says to ALL: *The mountains start to wiz past, Wind Racer flighing slightly slower with the weight of the boar then she did with the weight of the Slepnir. Kori, with a wide grin is very pleased. She knows she made the far better deal, the boar must weigh at least twice as much.*

(Sat Oct 18 14:35:10 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~The BlackRime Sea/Beach~says to ALL: *Withing the next half hour, they come to the beach of a large sea....the water almost black. She finds she can not take her eyes off the deep, dark waters. She forces herself at least to give Wind Racer verbal directions.* Racer of Winds. Please be finding a fishing village? A village right along this beach.

(Sat Oct 18 14:36:37 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~The BlackRime Sea/Beach~says to ALL: *Wind Racer sets a strait coarse over the beach, in truth not much prefering to fly over large bodies of water. Weither the tarn would do such a feat on this world of magicians remains to be seen. Soon, she comes to such a village and lands near by, setting down the large boar. Kori dismounts, signaling Wind Racer to make sure the boar does not go anywhere before walking into the village.*

(Sat Oct 18 14:41:40 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~The BlackRime Sea/Beach~says to ALL: *Many of the villagers are out and about, fascinated by the presences of this giant eagle, but more interested in the dominian boar and the woman who brings it. She looks around and finds the most important looking person in the village at this time. In truth, some of their ships are out right now.* I am Kori of house Lanzadonii. I am merchant and I come to trade boar with your village. I am thinking you are not having boar often, yes? *Her slight grin relays clearly that she is not guessing, but knows this well enough.* Boar is costing you twice as much weight in seafood. *The man is not as ready to agree to this, but Kori never expects trading to be easy. They finally agree apon one and a half weight in fish. Many men, under his command set about weighing the boar and weighing out the appropriate amount of seafood....both fish and shellfish. In the mean time, the leader offers Kori one of the village's liquors, which they make themselves. The drink is about as alcoholic as ale. A green color and about as thick as eggnog, with a flavor walnuts and iced cream. She quickly decides she very much likes this drink and discuses future trade with the man.*

(Sat Oct 18 14:44:48 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~The BlackRime Sea/Beach~says to ALL: *The man offers her a small bottle of the drink...in fact, stored in an emptied coconut with a stopper in the hole bored into it. She accepts, shakes his hand and smiles brightly, then hurries back to Wind Racer, tieing the cord attached to the edge of the net to her talons and taking flight again. Letting her fly more slowly now, the weight getting more and more each trade she makes. But this time, the distance much shorter as she already knows who she will be selling this product too.*

(Sat Oct 18 14:46:02 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~ish flying overhead~says to ALL: *Wind Racer heads back over the moutains from the beach, flying North, setting a coarse towards the castle. Kori rain leans forward and hugs the tarns neck again. The day is getting better with each passing moment. Soon the castle becomes visable and starts to loom closer and closer. She sets in the finally coarse and has Wind Racer land.*

(Sat Oct 18 14:47:02 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~Great Hall/Kitchens~says to ALL: *Once again, she has Wind Racer guard her catch, mostly from the other tarns and the other riding beasts. She enters the upper baily and strides across, heading to the great hall and strait into the kitchen, seeking out the head cook.*

(Sat Oct 18 14:49:56 2003) ~*Kori Rain~ Merchant House Lanzadonii ~Great Hall/Kitchens~says to ALL: *She walks up to the head of the kitchen staff and speaks her business* Greetings. I am Kori, house of Lanzadonii. I am being merchant and I am having much seafood to be selling. Yes, even nobles at castle are not having seafood very often *smiles brightly* I am making deal with you, yes? 1 silver per pound. It is generous of me, considering what it cost me to be buying seafood. *The head cook immidiately starts to negotiate. The settle on a price inbetween. One silver for every two pounds. The dominian boar weighs in at close to 700 pounds. Kori's seafood came right around 1,000 pounds, possibly a little more, but today she is truely generous in her happiness and lets it slide, accepting 50 gold coins for the catch.*
