The GM definitely did not forget the gender of the rabbit for a while there, clearly the rabbit must be a shape-shifter in disguise.Rabbit suddenly switched genders on us.

A hand quickly reaches into your pack to clasp the sheet of paper you had prepared, the bag blocking out the light from your ability even as the words begin to rapidly disappear from the page. In moments you begin to notice things that you hadn't before, signs of slightly improper care being taken of some of the meats here as well as some obvious (to the current you) aging on a few cuts of meat. It doesn't take long for you to decide on a specific portion of vicious rabbit meat for your pet to eat later and you quickly call over to the butcher to get the meat prepared for you.
Moments later you find yourself at the counter of the store, your voice clearly ringing through the store as you engage the butcher in a battle of wits to test out your newly gained boons. Amazingly you manage to knock off three coppers from the price of the meat, citing what seemed to be a dozen different reasons before the man finally caved and gave you a three copper discount. Satisfied with your purchase you pick up the brown paper parcel in front of you and cram it into your pack for later before heading out into the street once more.
You look around for an acceptable looking food cart and order several kebabs for yourself and the rabbit to consume coming out to a total of five coppers which seems rather cheap for the fistful of meat skewers. You toss three to the rabbit beside you and crouch down to finish off your own next to it, the furry creature ravenously tearing meat and vegetable free from the wooden skewer with a crazed speed.
The mixture of sounds, and sights from all those plying the market street for daily goods is somehow relaxing to you and you find yourself reluctant to move on even after you've finished your food. Sadly, your boons from the paper are time limited and it would be best to see them effectively used...
What is next on your list? (Feel free to choose multiple shops to visit and I'll throw up all their inventories for you to work from)

Hopefully this won't be too difficult for the author to write out, particularly as he mentioned it them self. Given we're visiting Gerald's Apothecary perhaps with our new found haggling skills we'll be able to determine just what the value of the items we brought to the shop were, and whether we can use our current skills to gain a more favorable rate. The art of haggling is also about building relations as the text mentioned so there should be some benefit.
After that I'd like to go to the guild store while we have the buff, as so far there has been no specified statement that the prices of goods and services there are set without leeway. It's also a good opportunity to buy more lessons.

After finishing off the meat skewers you decide to hit all three of the stores you were recommended, even if you didn't end up buying anything it'd be good to have a general idea of items available. First up on your list is Gunnerson's Smithy, a rather inconspicuous building sitting between a large auction house and what you believe is a bulk goods trader from all the loaded carts around it. Entering into the store reveals a strangely quite, incredibly neat space with a well polished counter and well over two dozen racks spread throughout the room. All variety of weapons rest of the racks while pieces of armor are hung from the wall in a display that you can only really call expensive, but then again you guess that is the point of a store.
Behind the counter is a dwarf who looks oddly similar to the man who runs the Guild Store, a coin much like his being flipped between his finger except the piece is silver rather than gold. Without looking up the dwarf simply calls out to you,
"Take a look around, if you want to buy something then you can bring it up here. If not, well look if you want I guess."
You can't help, but feel your brow twitch at the casual and careless response as you turn to looking at the goods available.
---
After looking through the Smithy's stock you head to your next location, the General Store which was recommended to you, and quickly make your way inside the rather bustling store. Almost two dozen people are packed into the moderately sized building forcing you to squeeze past people, or ask them to move to give you room as you proceed to browse everything the myriad of shelves and displays have to offer.
---
Finally, you head to your last destination of the trip, Gerald's Apothecary, where you find the store utterly empty with only the constant flow of random noises coming in from the back room. You sigh and shake your head at the careless man before turning your attention to the gathered items, all of them seemingly haphazardly placed across shelves, displays, counters, racks, and even crates.

GM Note: Sorry for the delay, was having difficult writing for this for a bit, but then I got consumed by Total Warhammer 2. Here's the update!
Question for everyone though - Are you guys alright with how days are setup, or would you prefer if I start just outright listing available quests without having to waste an update checking them? It occurred to me that that might get a tad annoying after a while.

Currently it is weak and only grants you the power of Domination, but if you grow stronger and perform in a way that meshes with this Boon then perhaps its strength can grow.
Heroes can be Thieves Right? - In the name of Heroism you stole classified information from the Church of War without being caught. Now no innocent souls shall be ended with this dangerous knife, but ... yours might be if you mess up? Slightly increased chance of learning stealth and thievery related skills until discovered, lost if the Sealed Scroll is destroyed.
Ethical Scholar - A scholar's duty is that of facts, numbers, honesty, and boundaries. You have a devotion to the work of the written word that few would follow in the face of potential benefits. You seek simply to perform your work to the best of your ability and stand within the morals of your scholar code, even find yourself compelled to do so. Established personal Scholarly Code, sticking to it makes your work easier and better while going against it more difficult and with worse results.

GM Note: Sorry for the delay, was having difficult writing for this for a bit, but then I got consumed by Total Warhammer 2. Here's the update!
Question for everyone though - Are you guys alright with how days are setup, or would you prefer if I start just outright listing available quests without having to waste an update checking them? It occurred to me that that might get a tad annoying after a while.

We have 4 Silver and 88 Copper. We want to buy everything we probably want while we have the Haggling boost active, while also making sure that we keep enough money to rent a room for the night (25-30 Coppers).
[X] Leather Armor - 3 Silver, 20 Coppers
[X] Flint & Steel - 25 Coppers
[X] Skinning Knife - 75 Coppers
[X] Water-skin - 35 Coppers
-[X] Fill the Water-skin
Total cost: 4 Silver, 55 Coppers
Leather Armor because we need more defense than none at all. Flint & Steel because we'll be kicking ourselves if we don't if we ever need to start a fire, either for camping, lighting a self made torch, or something else. The Skinning Knife to get our best value out of any monster or dangerous beast encounters we overcome, such as more Vicious Rabbits. Water skin for drinking and for Herb harvesting while the vials are freed for potion stuff later.
We still have our penalties from being battered and bruised, so unless we're lucky enough for another Scholar job to have popped up, we probably don't want to take another Quest. I believe it's late afternoon too, so we don't have a lot of daylight left. So I want to try this to see if we can get our Evasion Training just over the line into usability before we have to turn in for the night.
[X] Check out the sparring option that guide puppet showed you.
-[X] You want to work out the last few kinks in your Evasion Training from this morning without risking your life for it in real combat. Actually, would your Rabbit be able to help, since she seems like such a natural?

Okay, lets see...
-We have 4 Silver, 88 Copper
-Basic living expenses are low enough that we can get along with just the coppers as long as we take SOME job every day.
-We have an Iron Hand-Axe for our best weapon. We have no ranged weapon
-We have no armor, no shield, and robes won't stop shit.
-We have no healing, but bunny is a meatshield
So:
-Smithy
--We don't need any of the melee weapons. We can get a bow if we want to support bunny from a safe distance, but arrows are expensive and we don't know how to aim.
--We can afford either a shield or armor, but not both.
---We can afford a really nice shield. A Kite Shield offers very good coverage and also makes a good bludgeon. However, shields take some skills to use unless we have a partner to cover the unshielded side. We have a partner, we can learn the fancy moves later.
---We can afford sort of poor armor. Leather armor wouldn't do much to animal attacks on our extremities. Or our guts for the matter
-General Store
--We don't have any food if we want to take an extended mission or save actions stopping to buy food.
--We don't have any light source if we want to go out(or are stuck) after dark.
--We can afford a Belt Pouch, it'd free up inventory space in the backpack to put small items into.
--We need more paper if we want to keep using Dominate writing. Paper is cheap enough at least.
--We can't use the oil we have because for some reason we don't have any flint and steel to start a fire with
--We only have 4 inventory slots left in the pack.
-Apothecary
--Literally everything is beyond us.
1 Silver, 38 Copper left, which should be enough to get room and food for a few days, or whatever tools we need for a job.
Keep at least a silver free
[X] Shopping Plan Value Buy
-[X] Iron Kite Shield - 2 Silver, 50 Coppers x1
-[X] Belt Pouch - 75 Coppers
-[X] Flint & Steel - 25 Coppers
-[X] Equip Iron Kite Shield, Iron Hand-Axe, Belt Pouch.
-[X] Move any inventory items which fit in the belt pouch(Flask of Oil, Flint & Steel) to the pouch
[X] Take a look at the Quest Board and find some more work.

Dominated Writing removes the ink and leaves the paper blank again.
We only have to worry about running out of paper if we're writing stuff down that we don't Dominate.
Between our hand axe, rags, and oil, we can just make our own torches of varying quality when we need to just by stopping by the forest. The Guide encouraged us to be creative and craft our own simple items instead of spending money on them.
