"Aye lad, it's a fine day!" Yorri says, "Finer still with the carnival beginning tomorrow. I'm trying not to let the thought of the taxes ruin it... I'm still hoping the Graf will change his mind, and if he doesn't I've got your pal Julian's offer of a job to fall back on. Now, you say you're looking to compete in the minotaur fights? Those are pretty rough, but I reckon you'd have a fair shot. You could make two or three hundred crowns if you won. More if you get your friends to bet on you. Do you know the rules though? No armour to be worn, just a shield. And you have to use a club to fight with - not supposed to kill the beastie. Still fancy it?

"We've got some good breastplates too. You can wear one over chain if you don't mind the extra weight - and the heat too, at this time of year. You need a back plate too, mind, unless you count on no one sneaking up on you. Here's a nice solid breast plate for 70 crowns. A backplate will cost another 50. We don't do a lot of fancy stuff here - have to go to another forge for that! But why spend more than you have to.

"Now if it was me, I'd go for the coat. Save up and get a breastplate when you can."
