A large man dressed in a leather apron is busily sharpening a fine Broadsword. He is seated at a grindstone that sends a shower of sparks high into the air every time he touches the blade to it. He bids you good evening and offers you the Broadsword.

‘ ’Tis a fine blade, wrought of Durenese steel. It can be yours for only 12 Gold Crowns.’

If you wish to purchase this Broadsword, mark it on your Action Chart.
