You come to a crossroads near the outskirts of town and find an old man scurrying around a wooden wagon which has clearly seen better days. His clothes are a bit dusty and worn, but you can tell they were once well made. His beard is long from his time on the road, but there’s a twinkle in his eye when he looks up and speaks to you.
“Well there, a potential customer! Glad to make your acquaintance. I’m afraid I just left the market and am sold out of most of my stock. I wasn’t able to find a few things I was hoping to pick up though… If you happen to have what I need, I’ll make you a sweet deal!”
The trader passes through town periodically and will offer specific deals for items that may be expensive or hard to find otherwise. These deals may or may not change each time he comes through.
Limit one of each deal per customer (player) each time the trader is in town.
Any player may access the Traveling Trader's deals.
