Amenophthis: Ah, more people are arriving

BlueGrass: could we not trade them for some of the goods you have to offer?

McArine: Hello again Amenophthis :-)

Khaemwaset: Greetings Amenophthis

Amenophthis: A good day to you McArine

Amenophthis: I have some certain items in mind for those, BlueGrass

BlueGrass: Very good

Amenophthis: I also have some Puzzle Granite, something which I believe is very hard to find in Egypt

Amenophthis: I am open to any offers from people wishing to buy either gold or puzzle granite.

Khaemwaset: For what goods Amenophthis?

Amenophthis: Specialities of Egypt

Amenophthis: Assorted herbs or Mushrooms

Amenophthis: Or

Amenophthis: I do have a rather special commodity

Amenophthis: As I have pointed out, the soil in Egypt is not of the best quality

BlueGrass: now that I'm interested in

Amenophthis: However, there are techniques developed by sciences in far away lands that have managed to improve the quality

Amenophthis: This substance is known as 'Fertlity'

BlueGrass: that we could put to good use

Amenophthis: Or at least, that is the translation to your language

Amenophthis: The name given by the creators was...

Amenophthis pauses

Amenophthis: Sorry it's rather an odd word

Amenophthis: I believe it was 'Nkambtha'

Amenophthis: However

Amenophthis: I only have 100 db of Fertility

Klangdah: What is the use of this substance ?

Amenophthis: Applied to crops, it gives a substantial boost to their yield

Casino: can "fertily" be reproduced?

Amenophthis: I only have 100 db of Fertility

Klangdah: What is the use of this substance ?

Amenophthis: Applied to crops, it gives a substantial boost to their yield

Casino: can "fertily" be reproduced?

Casino: or duplicated in a lab?

Klangdah: Does it help growing seeds, or fights the ground pollution ?

Amenophthis: it helps the seeds to grow

Amenophthis: Ah Casino, you would have me sell one of the greatest additions to my Caravan?

Nissim: works also with herb seeds?

Amenophthis: I'm afriad not Nissim

Klangdah: What would be a decent trade item(s) for this substance ? Herbs and mushrooms still ?

Numaris: Casino's question is a good one. 100db won't last Egypt very long the way we grow our crops... would you also sell the secret of making it?

Amenophthis: Herbs are rather more complex and changing

dedenav: coucouille les filles :)

Amenophthis: I'm not sure it would be beneficial

Khaemwaset: Forgive me Amenphthis, but what are the drawbacks. We have some basic fertilisers which sadly can pollute.

Amenophthis: Let us see if you find it of use

Nissim: ou tu vois des filles?^^

Amenophthis: After that, we will consider

Amenophthis: Basic fertilisers?

Klangdah: Chuteuh !

Amenophthis: For crops?

Khaemwaset: Well weed repellents.

BlueGrass: Barely

Khaemwaset: I did say basic, sadly our camel dumg was not what it used to be

Khaemwaset: *dung

Amenophthis: This substance may be applied to vegetables and I've also had promising results with flax

Klangdah: I'm willing to trade 6 leafs of the very rare Wild Lettuce for it ! *crosses fingers*

Casino: i am in the position as we stand here to offer you 2 Golden Sun Mushrooms for some of your "Nkambtha"

Amenophthis: No, I have a special request in mind for this

Klangdah: Would you be so kind and share it with us ?

BlueGrass: I think then we would be interested for the good of all egypt if we could learn to reproduct this Nkambtha

Nissim: yes indeed

Amenophthis: Very well

Amenophthis: I am willing to sell 5 db of Fertility, for the price of 20 bottles of well aged Egyptian wine, 5 vintages or older should do it

Amenophthis: Egyptian wine is most prized in the noble's courts.

Khaemwaset: We are glad to hear our wine is prized

dedenav: ok i bye 5 db

Amenophthis: To be most fair, I will only trade once per person

dedenav: let me 5 mn to go to my chest

Amenophthis: I shall await your return here.

hitoriki: i would like to offer you the finest quality shovel there is in egypt whit your name on it for 5db of the fertility

logosmaid: And what is this prized Fertility?

Khaemwaset: Ameophthis- are there any --shall we say- side effects to the use of this substance on the crops?

BlueGrass: I don't have enough wine that is old enough for you

Nissim: in the meantime can we learn a bit more on ways ro reproduce it?

Casino: yes, the reproduction of this will benefit us all

Amenophthis: I am unaware of any such effects Khamewaset

Amenophthis: The reproduction is a very very secretive affair

Amenophthis: I would require a sufficient payment to divulge it

Nissim: need to be paid to deliver that secret?

dedenav: i have 20 bottles of a very old vine

Klangdah: What kind of sufficient payment ?

Amenophthis: Excellent work!

dedenav: i give it to you ?

dedenav: or in a chest

Amenophthis: Please, give them to me and I shall give you your Fertility

dedenav: voila

Numaris: I'm prepared to trade some as well.

dedenav: thx

Amenophthis: My pleasure sir

dedenav: yw

dedenav: so now in what plant i can use it ?

Amenophthis: does anyone else wish to buy any?

Numaris: I do, Amenophthis

dedenav: for a best result ?

Amenophthis: You may use it in any vegetable crop or flax plant I believe

BlueGrass: We might be able to give what you require for the secret of Fertilty?

Nissim: yes

Crestalina: in my eyes youre not a trader

Amenophthis: It only needs one db per use

dedenav: i harvest the plant

Klangdah: We would rather discuss the tuition for the receipe.

Amenophthis: This recipe is one of my most guarded secrets

BlueGrass: Name the price?

Nissim: sure but you said that it was for sale as well,so..

dedenav: if we have the recipe , can we do it ?

dedenav: or we dont have the good technology ?

Amenophthis: *If* I were to give you the recipe I believe you could

dedenav: hummmm

Klangdah: What would be a payment that would turn that *if* into a when

Amenophthis: As I mentioned before, I am interested in mushrooms

Nissim: sounds ecological lol

dedenav: is it a chemical recipe

Amenophthis: There are certain mushrooms that have some very odd effects on the body of a person

Klangdah: Could you be more specific ? Nissim: halucinogens?

logosmaid: I also am very interested in mushrooms

dedenav: but we can don nothing whit shoom

Amenophthis: not halucinogens Nissim

Amenophthis: One of them is very hard to find, and I believe it is found here

Klangdah wonders if torture wouldn't save some time

dedenav: behive .... . Khaemwaset: Beehive?

Nissim: oh not beehive again ..

Amenophthis: I am able to make a drink out of it that is very much sought after in the courts of certain nobles

Amenophthis: I do not know the name of it

Khaemwaset: A sort of nectar of the gods Amenophthis, eh? *sits back on his haunches and sucks his teeth

Amenophthis: However, I have one with me

Klangdah: What shape and colour is it ?

Nissim: iron knot? acorns?

Amenophthis: It is not the god that it impowers so much as the drinker, if you understand me

Khaemwaset smiles

Nissim: show it to us please

dedenav: can we see the shoom ?

Klangdah: Would you please show us the mushroom ?

dedenav: beehive

Nissim: beehive!

BlueGrass: BeeHive

dedenav: lol

Numaris chuckles.

Amenophthis: There are two other msuhrooms wich I must use

Klangdah: How many of those would you accept as a bri... payment ?

logosmaid: ahh so that is what that rare mushroom actually looks like

Amenophthis: Let me attempt to find those

Nissim: let us guess,,, peasant foot and goden sun?

dedenav: lol he need 2 k :)

dedenav: ha ha niss

Amenophthis coughs

Amenophthis: Please, look, but dont touch

Khaemwaset: You are aware Amenopthis that even our most famed and resourceful hunters have problems finding this shroom

Klangdah: (sorry wrong move)

Nissim: golden sun

Nissim: sun star is it?

dedenav: c'est pas tres rare ca ?

Amenophthis: I am aware indeed Khaemwaset

Klangdah: How many of each would you require to make that drink ?

Khaemwaset: I had thought so Amenophthis

Amenophthis: the drink... for such a healthy man, I do not think that you require my drink

Amenophthis: Unless you are having problems with the ladies?

Amenophthis: But no matter, we can discuss that later

BlueGrass: rofl

Khaemwaset: A sort of Aqua Vitae then!

dedenav: maybe you can help us to see some beehive ?

Nissim: viagra

Amenophthis: You wish to buy the secret to Fertility

BlueGrass: yes please

Casino: aye!

dedenav: because we never see it !!!

Nissim: yes we do

Klangdah: yes we are, so how many of each are we talking about ?

Amenophthis: I will sell the secret of it to the highest bidder.

dedenav: no !

Nissim: pfff

Nissim: that is lousy

dedenav: we juste need the secret of beehive !!

Alicesmile: 2 sand!

Klangdah: How long do we have since we meet again ?

Amenophthis: A beehive is worth 100 knah, and a sunstar or Golden sun is worth 50 knah

Numaris: Heh. Well, while everyone else discusses that... I still have some wines to trade for some of the Fertility you have on you.

Esther: would you trade my 20 bottles of wine for 5 db fertillity ?

Amenophthis: Excellent Numaris

Amenophthis: and Esther!

Amenophthis: please, give me your wines and I shall return the fertility
