[Glorantha] Its a deal its a steal! Honest Guv! Issaries Traders

[Robert Davis]

Hi
   
  There is a lot of opinion on 'how Issaries merchants' act. Yes, we know the cult, and the archetype - but thats what makes it so fun to have people who are a bit different!
   
  For example Thunder Rebels informs us that if you commit adultery then you will suffer divine retribution. YGWV but Ian Cooper suggested that slavish adherence to this black/white view of the world robs us of some fun stories. Real people don't always behave correctly or how you would expect, and that alone can be worth a good story.
   
  Thus, in my game, when the Issaries merchant says 'all I want is a fair exchange guv!' he will then proceed to bargain his ass off to get the best deal for himself a lot of the time. 
   
  In the words of the saint, 'This aint a freakin charity I'm running here! I got Overheads*!!' 
   
  Regards
  Rob
