Original X-roads-2003

    Jamie looked at the merchant like he had to be kidding. All he had on him was four hundred, he had lost the rest in the casino. “Nothin iz worth that kinda money.”
    “Oh believe me it is.” the merchant sat back in his chair.
    “I’ll give you fifty gold and that’s it.” Jamie dropped the pieces on the table.
    “I will tell you what fifty pieces buys then.” the merchant scooped up the money. “There is a spring on this planet that grants immorality to the drinker.” He then stood up and started to walk out of the tavern.
    “Hey!” Jamie yelled at the guy, “I didn’t just pay you fifty gold pieces for fairy tales!” He got up and chased after the guy.
    The guy turned to him in all seriousness, “No, you didn’t and for fifty more I will tell you what continent that spring is on, for one hundred and fifty I will tell you where to find Mark Chasarue as well.”
