Dried meat, herbs for potions and flavoring, and some nuts and berries from the local farms. You make a mental list as your search the village to look for provisions. You left the remainder of what you had with the young man. Of course, you tied a rope around his neck and left him to wait in a room at the tavern. Still, knowing he's watching over your scarce food gives you some comfort that you can afford to buy the best materials.
You come across a salesman who doesn't look like the other townsfolk. He stands by a large wagon with a hanging sign that reads "Anything for Any Problem!"
"Ah-ha! You look like a woman with a good eye," he calls you over and opens up a panel on his wagon, exposing a wild assortment of objects from daggers to books to shoes to food. "Anything you need, I'll have something for it. I won't even charge you gold."
"Is that so?" You eye him suspiciously. Most of what he has isn't special. While it's no assassin, you guess he might be a thief or a mischievous bard. Exposing him, if he is doing wrong, would be a step toward your path of light. "If you give your stuff way, how do you make money?"
He laughs. "Money is a thing, and I already have many things. I'm interested in real value. Sometimes it's a task I need done, or an item I must have. But whatever I want, I trade. No tricks, no scandalous money, only true and honest value."
You raise a brow and pick up a yellow fruit off the table. "You think anyone would bother to trade for a thing like this?" You wave the curved delicacy in your hand. It's not common in these parts, but it's just a fruit.
He smirks. "That would only cost a mere challenge. If someone wanted to try the banana, I'd give it to them, provided they could consume the whole thing in a single bite."
"And what value does that have?" you ask him.
"My entertainment," he shrugs. "It's as you say, the banana isn't my most valuable piece."
