Throcken haggles briefly with Brycur, but when he realizes that his customer
is another merchant, he settles quickly with him and makes a good deal.

In a back room, Throcken displays three weapons to Brycur.  The first is
a bow of elvish make.  It is a standard weapon for elvish royalty; it offers
increased accuracy for 500 gold shekels.  The second is a shortbow for a
prince of a nomadic horseman tribe.  It has a pull weak enough that a 
child could string it and shoot, but arrows leave it with enough force
to penetrate plate steel.  It has very poor range, but still goes for
1000 shekels.  The last weapon belonged to a famous assassin before he
was captured and imprisoned.  At the touch of a stud, the bow collapses
into a disc the size of a coin.  It radiates non-detection.  It is
incredibly accurate, and does not need arrows -- when the bow is pulled
back, an arrow appears in the ready position.  This last weapon goes
for 5000 shekels.

These prices are final.  Throcken awaits a decision.
