The warrior (david@key.com) gathers the coinage into a pouch.  Looking at the
heavily tanned traveler (zamick@topax.rutgers.edu) he says, "Ber?".  Now,
facing the room, people can see the end of a heavy scar peeking from the edge
of his dark-brown beard.  Those that look closely can see the distortion of
a once-broken-and-badly-healed jaw.  The dark brown hair is shot with gray
and his blue-steel eyes flash almost fever-bright.

"You rea' post?", he says in a somewhat fighteningly quiet voice.  The accent
is strange and harsh.  Looking the traveler over carefully he follows him back
to the table.

"Buy sell loot coin?", and once again dumps his coinage.  The coinage is a
jumble of familiar, distant and unknown mintings.

Sorting the coinage quickly, most of them are of small value; copper, brass,
iron, lead, and tin.  What would catch someones attention is four carved disks
of amber each with the image of a pine tree,  a stack of flat gray coins, a
"silverish" carved metal heart and a small loop of wire joins a dozen silver
coins together.

Quickly gathering back the heart back into the pouch, he looks expectantly
at the traveler?
