The Traveling Merchant
Hello stranger- did I overhear you say you were looking for a potion? No? perhaps a set of nice shiny armor? Oh well... whatever youre after, I bet we have it!
Welcome to the Traveling Merchant's abode, this place seems like a mess, but its actually a small hoard of valuable treasure... treasure the odd duo might be willing to part with, for the right price. Of course the wont always offer everything in their various boxes... but what they do offer... is surely worth your time.
The Traveling Merchants, Elzada and Andraxas offer three ways to gain items from their hoards of valuables. The shop, a show of skill in crafting, and a good old try at bribing them.
The Traveling Merchant will open on a bi-monthly basis, during the month they are open, you may barter, prove your skill, or shop to your hearts content (assuming you have the CR to offer). During the month off, submissions will be entirely closed and the merchant will sort their stock. Each opening brings a new set of items for you to try for!
This shop will be home to many a rare item... slots, skill tokens, and more! Be sure to keep your eye out for the new items every other month!
The last day to submit, is the second to last day of the month.
Corrections have one month after the end of the quest to be submitted

A show of skill
The two merchant kukuri look at you skeptically, theyve seen it all... how can you teach them something new? Finding your offer amusing, they tell you that if you succeed in showing them something they hadnt seen prior, they may just give you something a little extra. Sounds like a challenge.
HOW TO SHOW YOUR SKILLS
The merchants aren't easy to impress, so break out your best tools, your best items... maybe a book or two. Its time to show off your skill!
Draw or write about your kukuri showing off, learning, researching, or otherwise crafting something. Do they need piles of books to figure something out? Maybe a little sparkle of magic for those that can use it!
-> The Merchant starters can, but arent not required to be present!
You may choose to craft any item that can be seen on the crafting page. This means you can craft anything from a tattered feather, to Elemental Armor! Submit this crafting to the Merchant's comment threads!
This activity still requires all ingredients, just as a normal craft would.

Bartering
Oh? You dont like our prices? Well fine, I suppose you can try to bribe us into lowering that price... what do you offer?
HOW TO BARTER
Some items, the merchants just have a bit too much of, or dont really care for. They might just be willing to sell you this item for a lower price than normal... You need to pull out your Cr and make an actual offer though, the higher the better. Or... maybe you can just try stealing the item?
Draw or write about your kukuri trying to bribe, sweet talk, convince, or even just steal from the merchants. Do they offer far too much Cr? Maybe they dont offer Cr at all and instead put a bone and a rock on the table? Or do they get caught stealing?
Make your offers carefully! You can only barter TWICE per merchant opening!
You will need to make a Offer of CR to the merchants upon submitting. Offering 10 cr for a celestial rock is very unlikely to get you what you want, where offering more might be more successful. The actual item values may be useful to reference when making an offer! No matter the outcome, your CR will be taken So make sure your offer is a good one!
Even if the merchant doesnt take your offer, they will still give you some items in return for your Cr. However... you may get exceptionally lucky and win a slot to one of the Merchant starters instead. Test your luck...
The highlight item is what you will gain if your barter succeeds. The Merchant overstock is what they might give you otherwise!
