Legend

You walk up to the merchant who immediately puts away what he was reading.

"So, you looking to buy something?" he asks
"I am?" you reply
"Well you better be. I'd hate to pass through this dismal place without selling something. So what'll it be? I have some things that might be of use to an adventurer like you."
"How did you know I'm adventurer?"
"Please. When you're in business as long as I have you can recognize your type from a mile away."

The merchant then begins to show you some of the things he has

Small bamboo flute: 2 gold pieces

Silver dagger: 10 gold pieces
Jar of metal ball bearings: 3 gold pieces
4 rations: 2 gold pieces (For each)
