[ WP ] You run an RPG pawn shop . You haggle with adventurers who try to sell loot they 've acquired .

`` Ayy my man!'' a large, ironclad man yelled from across the room, `` Hey man, it's been too long!'' Cutting through the long line, he walks up to me and grins expectantly. The other customers do n't even dare trying to stop him when they see the back of his chestplate. 
 
 `` Oh. Hello BeastSlayer19. It's been a few hours since I last saw you. That's a fancy new chestplate you've got there today'' I respond in a bored voice. BeastSlayer19 was a hardcore adventurer, exploring even the deadliest of dungeons. No matter how far his travels took him, he always seemed to pop by my shop once in a while, selling all his rare loot and whatnot. It did help that I had a monopoly on the business, being the only shop in the world. 
 
 `` Thanks man, I got from a friend. Anyway, I got some sweet items for you this time.'' he says, opening his inventory to reveal a massive pile of loot. The first thing to catch my eye are tons and tons of Fluctuation Crystals in the stash. For him, a warrior, they were useless. Only wizards could take advantage of the rare energy units which contained massive quantities of mana within. 
 
 `` Alright, you can have it all...'' he says, rummaging through the pile. 
 
 `` Great. So that would sell for abou-'' 
 
 `` Wait, wait, nevermind. You can have everything EXCEPT these bad boys,'' he says, fondling the delicate Fluct Crystals, letting them spill through his enchanted leather gloves. 
 
 `` You sure about that?'' I say nervously, `` I mean, you ca n't even use those things.'' Those Fluct Crystals would sell for absurdly high prices, when I managed to get my hands on some. 
 
 `` Nah, it's fine man. I met a guy who has a deal I could n't resist.'' he says nonchalantly. 
 
 `` Wh-what? Nonsense. I can match his price.'' I blurt out, `` Just name it.'' 
 
 `` He said he'll give me a Sword of Aereboth for 250 Fluct Crystals. Apparently it completely ignores armor and defensive spells'' BeastSlayer19 replies, not noticing my exasperated expression. A sword that could completely ignore armor and defensive spells could defeat virtually any boss in a single hit. 
 
 `` W-well, h-how about this? I can pay you a special deal this time for those Fluct Crystals, alright? 25,000 a piece. It's a much better than that sword. After all, it's probably some scammer out to steal your Fluct Crystals. You know those damn wizards, right? Using illusory spells to trick honest fellows like yourself into giving them anything?'' 
 
 `` Nah man, I know this guy. We're just as close friends as you and me. Just take all this stuff, ok?'' he says, getting impatient. 
 
 `` How about 50,000 each?'' I say, hoping to lure him in. 
 
 `` Nah man.'' 
 
 `` 75,000 each.'' I say, determined to get a profit off of this. 
 
 `` So sorry, but-'' 
 
 `` 100,000. That's the highest I'll go.'' 
 
 `` Deal.'' he says, handing over the 250 Fluct Crystals he owns to me. A sizable sum of gold is transferred to his purse as he does. 
 
 `` Really?'' 
 
 `` Yeah man, see you later!'' he says, walking happily out the door. As he heads back, I notice the crest etched into the back of this chestplate. The Dark Wizards. 
 
 Suddenly, the crystals disintegrate through my hands into wisps of gas. An illusory spell. How could I have been fooled so easily? 
 The other customers, waiting in line, take notice that I can no longer afford to pay for their miscellaneous junk and leave, leaving me alone in the shop.
