“Not at this moment. Perhaps later i need to do some work on them after today.” Tar’Lak says as he looks over the bone head of his spear.

Draco hums to himself as they walk the streets. He listens to his two companions getting along, he nods approvingly. He thinks to himself outloud: "I should have probably asked to get my sword before leaving the Smith."
They reached the edge of Hangshu District. Rickshaws are pulled along and patrons of shops are roaming about as they buy and sell whimsically. The sight of people mixing in with each other is a strange feeling since New Canaan is famed for mixing of races. But then again, Heifong is no normal Shurifon city.
Draco feels he could answer any questions the two have to pass the time.

Draco feels he could answer any questions the two have to pass the time.
Draco thinks to himself and uses his fingers to count off some items he had in mind: "Let's see ... Elder Root, Nightshade, Agave Fruit, Jutta Leaves, Bliss Leaves, Powdered Poultices, Saltpeter, Granulated Sulfur, Holden Dust, Coarse Grandfather Seeds, Falker Powder and ... I want to say whatever seeds we can carry.
Our shopping list is full and we're buying it all in bulk to save us a trip back. However, Shifu isn't a very subtle tradesman. His partner Judora isn't very 'friendly' towards our kind but she does remarkable work. I may purchase some of her potions ... If she isn't too smug to shoo us away like last time.
Been here several times in the past, not a common place for the likes of myself but useful when traveling south of here."

“Oh she will be.” Tar’Lak says with a grunt. “But as long as you deal with the elves then you should be fine.” He says with a shrug.
To Jibril:
Draco: "Glad you asked. Sou'jure, Fjornia's slaver capital. Kane wants us to scout out the city, gather troop locations, patrols, mapping out the city and find out who is in charge, who does what. It's a large scale scouting location to be sure. We'll need to wear disguises to blend in with the usual crowd.
I plan to send our survey teams into The Rift after we gain permission from the Lich King to travel through Baldur's Gate separating the Rift from Genosia. I'll be asking Kane after we finish our business with Sou'jure for better equipment and supply rations. If we're lucky, we may travel in one of his 've-hick-les' to provide us safe passage ... May need a driver as well ... Hmm.
To Tar'lak:
Draco: "Hm? Oh, of course! I'll handle Judora, she may act high and mighty but she has a soft side ... If you can find it some where in that black heart of hers. It should be fine. Hopefully she remembers me and doesn't use her magic. Can't stand that potion she uses. Gave me Scale Itch for weeks!!

Draco with a sigh: "I hope it doesn't come to that. We really need everything and the shop has everything we need in bulk. I really don't wish to find another supplier but I may have to cut our loses and pray we find someone along the way home that can at least fill our orders.
Jodura has some powerful potions but she won't part with them and she makes the powders we need. If she isn't willing to cooperate, we may have to leave with what we can get. Rather not risk a fight, it's rare to find someone of Shifu's botanical skill with Earth magic. If he doesn't work with us, then the vendors along the road will have to suffice."
Draco says with a heavy heart: "I can't bear the thought if we fail to get anything here. We're only delaying the enviable back home, I trust Kane and his disciples but I have doubt everyone can be saved."

Finishing up their conversation, the three arrived at the Apothecary & Tea Shop. Just as Draco and Jibril enter the shop, Tar'lak approach the door and leans up against it with his spear next to him as the two go in alone to negotiate the price for the supplies.
[Jibril]
Draco and Jibril into the shop. Marble floors, rows of planters on knee length counters, the dim light above basks the saplings Shifu created earlier. Shifu is with Judora as she's speaking to a pair of Shurifon's Royal Guardsmen. Draco groans: "I don't like the looks of this. Please be polite, I'll do the talking."
The two approached the two partners, one short elf and a talk busty high elf stands with her makeup still messed up from her episode with Tar'lak. Shifu sees Draco and slowly approaches him with a soft greeting placing a hand on Draco's leg as he pulls the two off to the side.
Shifu: "Baelfire. It has been a long time, it's been a few months since your last visit"
Draco, concerned: "I've been busy, old friend. What happened here? What happened to Judora?"
Shifu shakes his head and looks up to Draco.
Shifu looks to Judora throwing a fit behind them: "She was violated earlier this evening. A Lizardman came in looking for aid and went to see her. He was bleeding so gave him some bandages for his wounds. But then another customer, Shimbala, came in to discuss a shipment of herbs. We were discussing the price when we heard a scream."
Draco: "Oh no"
Shifu, furiously: "That thing was on her like a deranged animal having his way with her. Shimbala offered to deal with our guest and escorted him out in bindings. I felt compelled to call the guards to have him arrested!! They came not long after you did, we're telling them what we saw and hopefully they catch the culprit. Speaking of which, did Shimbala see you along the way here? I don't feel right letting someone else do the work of a guardsman. Judora is furiously upset, not thinking clearly. I mean, what was she thinking letting him leave with Shimbala?

[Jibril]
Draco takes his thumb to his maw and bites the tip of his claw with one of his many teeth. He contemplates his next move: "Unfortunately, no we have not crossed paths today. But since she spoke about our herbal needs, is there any chance to discuss our price. We're desperately in need of them"
Shifu strokes his beard and thinks as well: "Normally, I wouldn't discuss such things after calling the guards. But you ARE in dire straits, I think I can bend the rules a little for an old friend"
Draco sighs in relief. He touches his breast plate and bows his head to the short elf in appreciation for the inconvenience.
Shifu: "For my stock, I'll need to be compensated for the entirety of the ..."
The two discuss the finer details on the deal. Ten minutes of this back and forth and they reached a consensus on the terms and Shifu is smiling as the two share a laugh together.
Shifu: "So let's just say, umm, 20 Gold for everything."
Draco is taken aback by the price: "20 Gold?!"
20 Gold = 2000 Silver. 2000 Silver = 20,000 Pewter
Draco: "That's outrageous!
Shifu shrugs: "I agree with you. But what you're asking is most of my stock in seeds and even the rarer plants. I must charge that to replace the seeds, time and labor, not to mention I'm using my own magic to accelerate the growth of your order. For a large shipment such as this, the plants, herbs and seeds need to be stored away in our containers for safe travels. That's no small task, mind you, and they are safe! So none of the shipment will be damaged"
Draco: "But 20 Gold? Our blacksmith asked for a single Gold and 500 Silver. For that we could have our own armory and greenhouses!"
Shifu: "I know. I know. What I ask is a lot, but I run a business that always replimenishes regularly and I can handle most small deals. This is a burden for myself and Judora taking a big risk like this."
Draco checks his coinpouch: 10 Gold Coins and 100 Silver. Not enough.
Draco: "What about 10 Gold? There other half I can get from home, pay back the rest"
Shifu: "I'm afraid it's now or never. I recommend the capital if you're in desperate need I can recommend a few of my students and their shops but that is going to be my final offer."

[Jibril]
Draco wants to shush her but Shifu is intrigued by the Nagini's suggestion.
Shifu: "Hm, interesting offer, Nagini."
Shifu strokes his beard and conjured up a ledge and a monocle for his bad eye. Summoning a detailed book before him with leather binding and papyrus sheets fluttering open. Shifu looks through it and hums to himself as he lets out some curious Hm's and Ah's. Draco keeps his mouth shut as he thinks this could lead somewhere.
Shifu: "I do need some fungi and saplings from a Willow tree found in New Canaan that only grows there. Arid climates are the perfect breeding ground for the Shomu Fungus I've been wanting to cultivate in my shop. Very rare outside the region. Since New Canaan Republic has control and the fungi there are in bloom. If you can bring me a bushel of the stalks and roots, acorns of the Willow tree, then I don't see why I can't bring down the price at a discount."
He looks over the ledger again: "There's some letters that I need delivered to the capital city. My students require advice on growing Hissho Sap and we've been delaying our shipments until they received the letter with the instructions. It would help us considerably. For that, I could wave the price as a gesture of good will between us. New Canaan can have my herbs and we're better off in the war arriving our side of the coast."

[Jibril]
Draco leans into her and whispers: "Better to be couriers than bontanists. I'd say take the letters and beat it out of here before the changes his mind"
Draco clasps his hands together: "We'll handle the letters, we're on our way back that way anyhow. What's a few stops?"
Shifu removes his eye glass and nods: "Very well, Draco, I'll get my golems to do the preparation for the trip. You can come by in the morning to pick them up "
"Wonderful" Draco answers, Shifu leaves.
Draco nudges Jibril: "Quick thinking!"
Meanwhile, Judora is positively livid about her experience with Tar'lak that she is ranting to the two male Guardsmen who are having a hard time listening and containing their laughter. Judora is still swollen in the belly as if she were pregnant with someone's child ... Or several.
Draco us hesitant to walk over to her. He turns to Jibril: "Maybe you should try and talk to her. I'm not good with small talk with her when she's like this. I'll just follow your lead and stitched away from the conversation if it gets too rough for you"

Jibril
Judora speaks with the first Guardsman but they're having trouble getting a description of her attacker. The two Shurifon Elves look at her confused, the other explained to her that her description of the Lizardman matches many others like them. Unfortunately, they said they'd look into it (not really) and depart. Judora is exhausted from venting her frustration out. Jibril approaches her with a calm and collected posture and she sees her coming towards her.
"No. No" Judora says halting Jibril from approaching her, "I'm not dealing with anymore of you swamp things!"
Draco comes up behind Jibril and speaks up: "Judora, I'm sorry to intrude on your time. But we're looking to settle a deal-"
Judora centers her gaze on Draco.
"Draco! I'm in NO mood for this" She stresses to him, "I'm having a break down. I have been violated. And you're here to make a deal!? Are you kidding me?"
Draco: "I'm sorry. But if we don't see this deal through, we'll leave. We're troubling you for your help, we're asking you as a friend."
Judora: "As a friend ... Right, some friends-"
Draco: "Shimbala came and helped you, didn't she?"
Judora calms down: "Yes. Yes she did"
Draco: "We'll handle him. So can we please finish this transaction, please?"
Judora touches her pressure points then huffs then she looks to Draco with a light smile.
Judora: "You're lucky, that I like you."
Judora crosses her arms and looks to Jibril: "Who is she? Your girlfriend, or something?"
Draco says deadpanned: "No. Absolutely Not"
Judora: "Sure she isn't"
Jibril looking her in the eyes: "We need your potions and the powders the ... Dark Elf asked for"
Judora looking to Draco: "You want all of my poultices, all of my saltpeter, fined ground sulfur, Holden Dust in bulk order, Coarse Grandfather Seeds that I just made and the rarest batch of Falker Powder."
Judora looks back to Jibril: "Why would I even consider giving you such hard to come by ingredients? Matter of fact, what do you plan to use Holden Dust and Falker Powder? More importantly, Saltpeter in such high volume? Don't you know the stuff is found in graveyards? If I didn't know better, you were getting yourself into some trouble, Draco."
Judora says with a mischievous smile. Draco clears his throat and nudges Jibril to speak for him.
"We just need the supplies for the healers back home. What the other materials are used for, I don't know" Jibril says with a stony gaze: "So I'll make this very simple. Either we take the ingredients and save this charade we're having and we'll be on our way. We're here on business and that will be the end of it."
Judora steps closely to Jibril using her height to look down on her: "You want my alchemy ingredients?"
Jibril: "And the potions"
Judora grins wider: "Then you have to do something for me"
Jibril: And what will that be?"
Judora fingers her index finger to Jibril's chin and looks her in the eye: "I want that man that violated me earlier. Bring him to me alive so I can pay him the kindness he showed me, I'll part my ingredients for 5 Gold Coins. Consider it a favor, do this and I'll consider you a valued customer."
Judora removes her finger from Jibril and looks to Draco: "I like this one, Draco. She has the look of you when you were her size."
Draco: "Don't remind me"
Judora: "If you find him, bring him here in chains. Have my money in tow, I'll have my golems send word to your 'Commander' that they're ready for delivery."
Judora waves them away and then rubs her belly with a redness in her face. She moans slightly as Jibril and Draco turn to walk away from her. Jibril turns to Draco as they whisper to each other.
"Didn't she look a bit-"
Draco: "Aroused? I can smell it on her."
Jibril: "You don't think it was Tar'lak, do you?"
Draco: "I'd like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. But in this case, if the boot fits, I may have some words for him once we're outside."

[Jibril]
Draco pulls Jibril closer and hands her the five gold coins from his pouch then cranes his head to her 'ear'.
"What ever you have in mind, don't forget that we need Tar'lak to come with us willingly. Too much of an inconvenience and he will leave, he's not under any obligation to follow our lead."
Jibril: "Why are you telling me this now?"
Draco: "I asked him to come with us to New Canaan. I have my reasons but if he sees we're using for our benefit, he might leave. He already distrusts surface dwellers, I rather not screw things up as much as it is. But I'm not walking away empty handed neither."
Draco and Jibril meet outside to find Tar'lak standing there obviously bored.

[Tar'lak]
Draco and Jibril return from inside the shop. Tar'lak has been standing there for a reasonably short thirty minutes if that clocktower across the district is right.
That is a clock, right? It's a very strange contraption given that it doesn't have a traditional clock face just strings or red and green pips moving up and down a tower with the green pips slowly moving while the other moved quickly into the tower to signify Minutes and Hours.
Tar'lak had never seen a tower like this but does know what a clock does, so this thing surprised him at how complex it was for the time as the sight of smug and pompous Shurifon Elves walking about seem to disregard their manners bumping into commoners and mistreated their servants. He could only imaging what slavery would be like under their care.
His thoughts turn to Jibril and Draco when they sigh in relief as they look at him.
Draco: "We've managed to sort out some of business here. But before we go, I wish to know what it was you did to Judora."
Draco folds his arms very disappointed. It's obvious that they know, maybe taking advantage of the healer wasn't such a good idea. But something tells Tar'lak that there's something else to this 'business' they've been hiding: what sort of arrangement did they make?
However, this was Tar'lak's doing, he knew what he was getting himself into when he came. This may get ugly if Draco and Jibril don't like his answer.

In silent confidence: "Yes, but we're not looking to break the relationship we have with her over it. If this was a one time thing, I'd suggest it. But this is our only place to get some of these potions, she will not be pleasant or pleased if we steal from her." Draco says, he rubs his chin: "But if she doesn't notice a few missing, i can live with that. Better than nothing"
