A Lumbering Merchant Approaches!

The Guild scouts spot what appears to be an enormously wide beast undulating down the road toward the Guild Hall. A moment before they raise the alarm, they discover it is in fact a huge man, carrying a ludicrously gigantic tree, several feet in diameter with innumerable smaller branches spreading from the main trunk, on his shoulders. The tree gives off faint waves of power, which become more noticeable as the man, who must have some giant blood running through him, approaches. Slamming the tree down on the ground, the man wipes a single bead of sweat from his forehead. "Hiya, folks," he says in a startlingly friendly tone considering the feat he just performed. "I think this here tree is magical or blessed or something weird like that! Sprouted right up in the middle of my farm last night, messing up my tulip patch... and with my wife's birthday coming up! Mighty inconsiderate of it, wouldn't you think? So I went ahead and ripped it right out of the ground. That showed it! Anyway, a crazy man with a giant chicken came by a few weeks back for a bag'a'feed and mentioned something about a whole herd of you magic folks looking for magic sticks and such down this-a-ways. If you make it worth my while, I can chop off some nice pieces off this here magic tree for you. My wife always said that I should sell my woodcarvings, anyway. I'll be damned if I don't have a present for her next week, so you better pay me honest or my wife will tear all our ears off!" He laughs boisterously, but with a tinge of nervousness in his voice... The large man will gladly carve up implements with up to a +4 enhancement for you for 60% of their listed price (40% discount). He has to be home before his wife's birthday, so he will leave Saturday, May 20 at 23:59 PDT. Note: Only Implement enchantments are available. You cannot buy an implement with a weapon enchantment.

Vaelin walks up to the lumbering merchant. "I am looking for something that can help me save my friends. None should have to deal with what I suffered through." The giant man nods and hands Vaelin the following item: Symbol of Security +3 (original price: 17000gp discounted price: 10200gp)

Althea has no idea what to do with an implement, but she knows a contender when she sees one and promptly challenges this hulk of a man to contests of strength.

Volke approaches slowly and carefully so as not to startle the big man with the enormous tree, wouldn't want him dropping it. He clears his throat and says, "Good afternoon sir, I'm new around here but I know a good offer when I see one. Perhaps you might be willing to assist me in what I am looking for." Death Shroud Ki Focus +1 (840 * 60% = 504g)

Habra approaches the merchant. "My friend, in being a shepherd to my flock I have found myself stuck in combat and unable to escape from a melee attacker. If you would, I would ask that you recommend something to me to aid me in escaping from such situations". The merchant nods and says "I think I have just what you're looking for". Emerald Flame ki focus +1 (original price: 520gp discounted price: 312gp)

Vhaidara wanders up to the man. "Aw, married? Such a shame. We could have had some fun." In any case, she acquires a +3 Staff of Sleep and Charm (Original Price: 17000, discounted price: 10200)

Vaelin approaches the wander merchant after getting back from her adventure and says "Thank you. That item you crafted for me was of much assistance. I would ask if you could craft me a seeing stone that would allow me to clear my mind when I am in the most danger.". The merchant nods and says "I think I know exactly what you want". Seeing Stone of Yandere +3 (original price: 25000gp discounted price: 15000gp)

Nexkile Hedrosh moves up to the merchant, small, puny, almost insignificant bag of gold in hand. After a brief conversation, he walks away, pouch close to empty, holding a rod and wand in exchange. Rod of Corruption(original price: 680 gp discounted price: 408 gp) and +2 Wand of Frost(original price: 4200 gp discounted price: 2520 gp)

Frorwim walks up and asks for a +1 Shielding wand, he then after the merchant  is done making the wand, throws 504gp (840*0.6=504) at the merchant and runs away with the wand. +1 Shielding wand (840*0.6=504)

Viktor sets down a hefty bag of gold before showing the lumbering big man a design for new prayer beads. +3 Rain of Hammers Ki Focus (17000 * 0.6 = 10200gp)

Habra walks up to the large merchant with a cheery disposition. "In celebration of my promotion from sister to cantor, I would like to request that you make me something that would allow me to help keep my allies alive in an emergency" says Habra. The large man nods and says "I have just what you need" and makes the following item for Cantor Habra: Staff of the Faithful Arcanist +3 (original price: 17000gp discounted price: 10200gp)

August has a conversation with the large man, speaking about something to enhance his ability to multi-task. The man nods and returns with a staff of sorts, exchanging it for a moderate sized bag of gold August tossed him as he walked off looking satisfied with his purchase. Staff of Spectral Hands +2 (3400 * .6 = 2040gp)
