Yay! Doing what girls do best. Shopping!

These blades were forged from iron sand more commonly used to create slashing blades like the katana and wakizashi. - Small 1 handed melee. - This blade is extremely sharp and will punch through light armor as easily as cloth. - This blade can be thrown as a projectile but must be retrieved. - $175. x2
The Rogue's Kiss - A beautfiul set or armor for women only, the effect would certainly be lost if worn by a man. - Clothing, no defensive value. - The wearer of this dress may poison their kiss... - This is a slow to kill poison, but ill effects are quick to manifest. - The user's kiss may also cure the victim. - This poison may be cured via Healing Magic or Medicine of a higher or equal to level than the wearer's Thieving skill. - $300.
Absorption Cloak - Whilst not the grandest of magical items, the absorption cloak has saved many an unwary adventurer's life time and time again. - Additional Item. - Once per day, this cloak will reduce a magic attack's damage to the wearer by half. - This happens automatically on the first spell against the wearer. - $175.
Foof Falls - The Foof Fall line started out as comfortable slippers but recently moved into outdoor footwear. - The user's footstep's make drastically reduced noise. - $75.
The Whip Belt - Because you were running out of places to hide knives... - This belt actually converts into a whip! - The whip can be wielded as a one handed melee (large) weapon! - Not entirely obvious as a weapon. - $100.
The Observant Protector - Well, if the guy who made this was so observant, how'd he lose it? - Once per adventure, this amulet will block an attack from any source the bearer is not aware of, eg: a surprise attack. - This will trigger on the first such attack. - This item does not protect from traps. - $150

Wyrmleathers - Made from the tanned and treated hide of juvenile Wyrms. - Clothing, no defensive value. - The user becomes heavily resistant to climate and environmental exposure. - Wearing this item will magically harden the user's skin, giving them a natural medium armour defence. - This effect is dispelled upon removal of this item. - $400.

Someone already approved you buying "The Kestrels", correct? I seem to remember deducting the monies from your character. You can post that purchase to your character thread.
