A dwarven dagger sold by a human? That’s pretty interesting. Most humans don’t really sell dwarven items, so you decide to check it out.

“Interested are you?” He chuckles to himself and then he brings out the dagger that you had your eye on. “I see you are taken by the dagger, or should I say you have an interest in it, I don’t think you want to be taken by a dagger.” He smiles, revealing his pearly white teeth.

“This dagger was made by human artisan that was raised in the mountains with a dwarven tribe. I believe their name was Redhammer. This was one of his first pieces, a failure in his eyes, but it holds a little magic. It only has three charges of magic before it becomes a normal dagger, but each charge allows the user to deal more damage. Not a huge amount, mind you, but more damage indeed.” He nods his head.

[Roll: D20]

Roll: (5+2) 7 - Failure

You’re sure you’ve heard the name Redhammer before from your mentor, but don’t really remember much of it. You probably were caught up in a project of yours to really pay attention. You do recall they were smiths, so perhaps you zoned out.

“I can part with this piece for a sum of fifty gold, if you are so inclined.”

You recall you have 32 gold pieces at the moment, but doubt that they will drop so low. Magical weapons don’t really get discounted.

Are you interested in the dagger? As you gaze upon the runes you notice the magical dwarven rune of “Hurt”. However, it is pretty faint. It will allow you to deal an additional D4 damage three times, but you can go without it. It would be useful for you if you find something that has resistances or immunities to non-magical damage. You could always tinker the blade to amplify it’s ability in some way too.

You can decline and browse the rest of his wares, leave, or try and find a way to get the item discounted.

Make your choice.
