Needful Relics
« on: November 26, 2009, 03:38:02 PM »
***IC***

On a distant planet, in a town not unlike yours, a merchant tent has appeared on the edge of town.  During the night-cycle hours, the tent was setup, almost as if it materialized out of the mist that seems to be hanging around it.

Looking at this simple tent, with it's weathered sign bearing the name 'Needful Relics', a sense of curiosity comes over you.  How often does a merchant come this far out?  Especially in the middle of the night.

As you approach the tent, you can see inside a little.  In the hard morning light, the inside of Needful Relics looks like a sanctuary of the dusk.  Dimly lit, but not dark, the soft glow of candles in a few place.  As you get a little closer, on a small shelf of an old bookcase, you see....no, it can't be.  You have not seen one of those since you were a youngling!  Where did that come from?

"Welcome, sentient.  Enter freely, and leave some of the happiness you bring," a voice comes from the gloom of the tent.  A thin figure emerges from a pocket of dark inside the tent.  You feel a momentary and quite monstrous cramp of fear.  Then the glow thrown by one of the candles slanted across the figures face, and your fear was allayed.  It was an Ubese in an old and worn helmet, with equally old, yet still distinguished black long-coat.  This sentient looked very harmless.

The Ubese holds out his hand in a standard Galactic greeting.  You need to step over the threshold into the shop to clasp the extended hand.  The tent flaps close behind you when you enter, but you do not notice.  You have been too busy noticing the glint of light and color that reflected off the Ubese's visor.

You shake the extended hand.  The Ubese's grip was strong and sure, but not painful.  All the same, there was something unpleasant about it.  Something ... smooth.  Too hard, somehow.

"I'm pleased to meet you," you say.

"I am equally pleased to make your acquaintance," the Ubese croaks out. "I see you have your eye on an item from my collection.  Let's see if we can't make a deal, shall we?"

/way tatooine 2388 3419 Needful Relics

Needful Relics is normally outside of Mos Entha, to the east.  It is on a lot that is as close as you can build from the edge of Mos Entha.  1000m from the Starport, 500-ish meters from the edge of town.

Neeful Relics will also move, for limited times, to a few RP cities.  Needful Relics will also 'materialize' during Nomad Market events.  Currently Red Sands, Black Sands, and New Doros are RP cities that Needful Relics will make occasional cameos for special RP events.

RP store.  The theme is a 'cursed' store where the true price of an item is your soul, to be RPed out and utilizing special Holocron missions.  Any item is for 'sale' in the store.  If RPed out, items are given for free, in the agreement that you become part of a larger story.  If you just wish to purchase a Collection Item, Chronicle Relic, or Holocron vendors function normally and there are no RP commitments.

WE BUY AND SELL ITEMS WITH THE FOLLOWING FORMULA:

Chronicle Relic Fragments:  100cr per unit
Chronicle Relic:  1000cr x Quality x Quantity
Collection Item:  10,000cr
Generic Item that is part of Build Collection (like rug parts, gong parts, naboo sculpture, etc etc):  1000cr per piece

The items are sold for what they are purchased.  There is no profit to the proprietor of Needful Relics.  The intent is to get items to people while not asking for crazy prices.

Update

Now making relics in "bite sized" quantities. Now, most relic stacks are not more than 4 in a stack.  This keeps prices down but also does not give you a mass of relics that you don't need.  Need more of that relic, buy another stack.  just seemed silly to sell a stack of 7+ of one relic when you only need one or two.

Needful Relics will be 'open' on Friday evenings for RP.  The general store will always be open, of course, but for RP it will be open on Friday evenings.  Needful Relics will also open by appointment, if requested.
