Trading Sequence

Accost this new person. He's going to take this card off you whether he likes it or not (as long as he gives something in return, that is).

Might also be worth asking him if he knows anything specific about the Deadly Cave of Fire, or where you could find a shovel.

Oh yeah! This guy's the only person you've seen in town who you haven't already spoken to and can understand, so it makes sense to trade with him. At the very least, you might hear about another trading opportunity!



"Dammit, I know I dropped it in her house. But how am I supposed to get in while she's waving that sword at me?"



"Good day, sir! Can I interest you in..."
"Leave me alone, kid! I'm in a real jam here, and I gotta think hard about what to do!"



"But I have a special deal today and..."
"GO AWAY! Whatever you're sellin', I ain't interested!"



Well, that didn't go so well. It doesn't sound like he's going to want to tell you about the Cave of Fire or a shovel, either. Why's he in such a bad mood, anyways?

Okay you are not doing very well at trading the ace of spades. You are clearly not being aggressive or creative enough. If people wanted to buy things they would seek traders out. So chances are they don't. Therefore it's your job to convince them they want what you have to offer.

Practice your sales pitch on the fountain man. He seems like a good person to try stuff out on because he doesn't seem to understand you. You can mess up all you like.

Now there's a thought. Your approach must be off.



So you'll need to practice. And the strange guy in the fountain is the perfect test market! If you can get him to trade with you even though neither of you understand a word the other says, then you're set!



"BLORK!"
All right, you've found him again, and it looks like you've got his attention. Time to get down to business.

What are you going to say to him?
