Scenario
Setting: a trading booth in the weekly market in a town frequented
by humans and dwarves.
Person M(ahar): A human merchant, specialized in small gifts,
selling mostly small trinkets.
She is trying to sell what she has in stock.
Try to convince the customer on what would be a good gift.
You have some nice poetry books for 12 silver pieces.
Person C(asar): A dwarf, looking for a gift for a potential fiancee.
He is initially thinking a nice throwing-axe or something similar.
He does not really know what she may like, and is looking for advice
on making a good impression.
Try to buy something for less than ten silver coins.
