Receipt for One Platebody

Receipt. Issued by the Chronicler to himself, since no shopkeeper in the Realm would write one worth keeping.

Three hours were set aside for the Shop Run, the eighth of its name. There were three shops, one vault and a diamond meant for a doorman. The declaration said the shelves had filled again, and it said so with confidence.

He took 87,035 coins from the vault. Scavvo's shelves in the Champions' Guild were marked as seen to in the same minute, which is the sort of efficiency the Catherby council could only dream of. At Oziach's hut by the Wilderness ditch he bought one rune platebody for 84,500 coins. He was already wearing one. The second is for the hoard, and the hoard does not ask why. Jakut and his dragon swords in Zanaris were marked as seen to and left for another day, along with the diamond.

Six minutes after he set out, it was all in the vault. The hoard is now worth 1,354,635 coins. Two thousand five hundred and thirty-five coins came home unspent and were not missed.

Three hours were granted, and a tenth of one was used. The rest of the time is given back to the Realm, as change. He takes the title Regular of the Quest-Locked Shops. Oziach did not look up.
