Stellas 19, 296 e.m.
Day 6,
Before any of us were awake this morning, Kyrainna apparently went out into the forest to gather a few special herbs and the like. I woke to a horrid smell coming from the boiling pot she was stirring over the brick fireplace(fireplaces being the only things made of brick in the entire town). She said it was a healing potion that would cure my shoulder wound faster than usually possible. It did not taste good at all, but the wound has started closing up and the throbbing at least has gone away, though it still aches when I move around too much.
After, when Kyrainna was examining the effects of the potion on my wound, there had been a very pleased twinkle in her eyes. Suddenly she had said, "I've never used a potion on a human before." That was reassuring.
Once everyone was awake, we all decided to stay in Salindil until tomorrow. If that was the case, I thought, it would be profitable to get some trading in before we moved on. It would have been impossible to get my whole wagon in, so I had Daeroth and Kadon carry a portion of the merchandise into the tunnels. Brilynn insisted on helping as well, claiming she didn't need to be a man to carry spoons and nails into the city. I'm not even selling spoons or nails!
It wasn't easy to set up a stand in the tunnels, and I had to make do with dragging a small table from the inn out into the main hall. Most of the people who came didn't have silver to buy with, and instead traded goods. Many of them wanted furs, as hunting was not allowed around the city, and they traded rich spices or jars of honey for them. All in all, I didn't earn any more gold than I had started out with, but the variety of my wares increased substantially.
Nothing else of interest happened today.
