Kaldon sat at a bench in the market-place, watching Hogar talk to a wagon seller. Much as that dwarf annoies me, I have to admit that he does know how to pull off a job like this.

Hogar was deep in conversation with the man, discussing things quietly with him behind his table. "So, your willing to pay me big to give them one of the older models that doesn't last well in bad weather."

Hogar merely nodded. "Well, consider the deal made. Where's my gold."

Hogar handed him a small leather pouch. The man shook it, and the ring of coins met his ears. Glancing inside, he face broke into a happy grin. "This is the best deal I made in my life. Glad to accomadate your wishes, sir." He looked up. Hogar was gone.

"Strange fellow, odd for a dwarf to want a guy to cheat his customers. But of course, I'm not complaining...," reasoned the man to himself. His unluckly customers were soon in arriving.

*******************************

Bali strolled around the market-place, walking alongside his friends Burzdol and Eruantalon. "Look over there, there are some wagons for sale. Just what we've been looking for."

They walked over to him. "Ah, three fine young warriors looking to travel, and in need of a sturdy wagon no doubt. I have just the model you want. Check out this one, in near new condition, excellent treading on the wheels. Just what you've been looking for."

After inspecting the wagon, the three agreed it would fit their needs space-wise; for it would be carrying dwarves and a large amount of supplies. They made the deal.

After they had gone, the man chuckled to himself. He patted his coat pocket, which jingled faintly. The best deal he ever made... if it could be considered a 'deal.'

*************************

The three friends arrived back to the door outside the inn, and found that most of the party had come back. Astarielle had gone off to get horses, as she was experienced with them. The others awaited the arrival of her and the few others that were missing.

One thought raced through the mind of all present. Soon the adventure would begin!
