The trio ate then went to the goods vendor and saw the simple tent that he set up. He arrived recently and was with guards. He has a tent that has few meters wide and a table for the goods to be laid. It's foundation was a hard wood that was put in the center as a stand to have ample space inside. The hem of the tent was tied with a knot and was tied on the other end with a stick. Making it a decent tent to accommodate even several persons inside.
There were assorted goods there from weapons, armors, trinkets, rings, potions and several wands and staffs displayed. They were in awe as they saw the weapon rack meticulously arranged and the items were arranged splendidly.
They entered the place and the inside was lighted with candles. The old man welcomed them with a smile. Wiping his dagger with a table cloth. He has a leather apron on his waist and looked buff. His sweat glistened as the candle light reflected it's radiance.
"Good evening misters. What items do you want, Weapons? Potions?" He asked. "Or perhaps a Necromancer wand?" He added, his interest piqued as his eyes narrowed.
"How did you know?" Ren asked quite surprised. Rick went to scratch his chin.
"Well, as a vendor, you should know the market demands of the customers. Haha, just joking, I did not know that you are a Necromancer. It was a random guess," he smirked, showing his teeth.
The room smelled lavender, as Roan sniffed the air. There were lavenders and other healing herbs present on stock.
The vendor took a bread and gave it to . "Take that as an investment. As for your wand, do you want to loan? Treat that as a new customer promo." He said then stabbed the dagger on the table.
Commander Vale then entered and the trio were surprised. "Commander Vale!"
The vendor grabbed the wand that has an orb with an eagle's claw gripping it.
"This costs 120 gold coins. You can use it for now and pay me back later. Don't think of getting away as I can track you down with an assassin," he said then smiled again. This time it was of pure mischief.
"You like it? I will pay for your new equipments. Treat that as my investments." Vale added.
"Why are you doing this?" Ren asked curiously.
"Hmm? I need you three to help with another mission. Amara was her name. She lost her sons and daughter to the primordial evils. Please help her instead." He said then passed the wand.

He got a necromancer's wand for free from Vale. As for his plan with his last money. Then next was to buy a weapon that could be used with ice damage.
"Um, can I buy a weapon. Something that has ice damage?" Ren asked.
"Why ice though? Hmm, peculiar but I know what you are thinking. I have one short sword here in the back that has ice damage. For freezing enemies yes?" The vendor said to him.
"By the way, how improper for me, I am Lux Von. A Merchant Guild Leader, pleased to meet you!" He said then grabbed the sword. Passing it to him.
He had a short sword with ice damage now. With his favorite element. As it has freezing effects.

Vale then bought the sword for Ren with 112 gold coins.
Lux then went to his stash and grabbed an item. Rick then was passed with a Druidic totem. "I know you are a Druid. I got a totem here for you,"
"How did you know?" Rick was baffled. He was surprised.
"A random guess? You reeked with druidic items! One might be surprised if you are not! Hahaha!" He laughed.
Rick then watched the item and it gave him good buffs.

He then passed him another item and that was an axe.

"Whoa! This item is overpowered!" Rick shouted. He was pretty much overwhelmed at the moment.
Then after Rick, Roan was passed with two items. He was startled at first but Lux just winked at him.
"A Lycan yes? That items are for you!" He shouted then Roan was speechless."Wait, how?"
"You need to meet thousands of customers to make such instincts to guess the class of your customers." Lux then said, "Try it." Offering to try the items.
It was a claw weapon and they were a pair.

"Pfft! This item is insane!" Roan wanted to spurt all saliva he has as this item was too good to be true.
"Yeah yeah, you won't complain with another task yes?" He said to him.
"No sir! None at all!" Roan saluted.
"Go to the Priestess of the Citadel of Light. May she guide you to your next endeavors." He said and the trio went to the camp center.
He saw a priestess and she looked troubled. They could tell even with the robes covering her face.
Ren went to ask her what troubles she had and she spoke.
"I am sorry for getting troubled. I am Amara and I am the Priestess of the Citadel of Light. Please help us, I know you are a Necromancer and I hope you can help me," she said with hands gripped together.
"I am sent by Lux. I am happy to help you." Ren said to her with confidence and reassurance.
"At last, finally someone who listens. This camp will be on danger if this continued. There was an evil lurking in the cave nearby south east from this camp. Defeat the evil in the corrupted cave nearby that were amassing troops to attack the camp and you will be rewarded with a skill page. Do you accept?" She asked.
Ren was itching to fight and so he wanted to leave immediately. "Yes I accept!"
"Good! Tarry now and safe travels. Fight hard!" She shouted to encourage him.
'Now that's something,' Ren scoffed. "I will leave now."
The three immediately went to their travels and Ren was a dark Mage. He immediately grabbed the wand and saw the difference. A wand on his left and a sword on his right. A perfect blend of skill casting and combat.
With the three of them exiting the camp. They were watched with the other guards with awe. They knew that this three would be heading there as they have noticed.
"Well, wish you all the luck!" Someone shouted from afar. Maybe the guard of the entrance at the camp as what they guessed.
