	You apologise to your companions and ask them to wait 
Š	for you outside the tavern. Meekly they agree, and as 
Š	they file out of the door you assure them that you 
Š	will not keep them waiting too long. You then sit 
Š	opposite the bearded man and soon discover that he is 
Š	a merchant captain from Lunarlia. He is interested in 
Š	buying copper but he will only offer you 4 Nobels for 
Š	an ingot. It is a poor price and you tell him that 
Š	you will have to speak with Captain Jenkshi before 
Š	you can agree to his bid. 

	As you rise from your seat he tells you to wait a 
Š	moment. Copper is not the only thing that he buys.
	He offers to pay you 8 Nobels for any Special Item 
Š	(excluding the Moonstone which is not for sale) you 
Š	possess, 2 Nobels for any Weapon, and 1 Nobel for any 
Š	Backpack item. If you wish to raise some money for 
Š	yourself by selling items of equipment to this man, 
Š	do so now and adjust your ιAction Chartι accordingly.

	You bid the merchant goodnight and he acknowledges 
Š	the pleasantry with a snake-like blink of his eyes. 
Š	As you go he calls out to remind you that he can be 
Š	found here in the morning should Jenkshi decide to 
Š	sell his copper ingots for 4 Nobels each.
