Sometimes a dwarf can get lucky when he's mining. You want a ruby? Bid away, then!

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention. It's a Mineral ruby...

Oh come on, it's... it's like a red emerald, aye!

*Tath walks the road in Hlint muttering to himself and tapping his staff on the ground consistently when he's approached by a street vendor attempting to sell him a new pair of socks...*
"Err... no thanks. But I will give you a few gold coins if you'll read me the newest offers and requests in the trade hall."
*Tath hands the man a few gold coins and asks him to write the following*
I offer two-thousand gold for the ruby.

*Ketzia walks up to the note, reads it and shakes her head*

"This whole fishing thing, while relaxing, ain't doing it for me. Time to switch career paths?..."

She walks off, resolved to go find a pick axe....

*as the counter bid is read to Tath by the same merchant who tried to sell him the socks he mutters to himself*
"Geeze... is it only when people begin to bid on rubies that they become valuable....?"

Are rubies that hard to come by?

General_Ski · « **Reply #13 on:** August 04, 2005, 04:09:00 PM »

This makes me think I should charge a bundle for the alexandrite I found.
