Yad Taddag\'s Gems and Sundry Ltd. Pt. Co. Inc.
Yad Taddag, the Last Thrall of Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh collapses into a ditch from sheer exhaustion. He had been fleeing non-stop for more than a month now, barely eating or sleeping, and always the gargantuan pink shadow pressing in upon his mind.
"No more, please, no more..." he whimpers, and he thrashes unconciously in the mud. It took a long time, but eventually he stills and slumbered. When next he woke, gone was the fear that had marred his fishy visage. In its place now shines a clarity of purpose previously absent in his long life of servitude. Immediately he sets upon making a wooden sign using pieces of driftwood and a chipped coral knife. Using pieces of rope, he ties the sign to his back.
"Yad Taddag's Gems and Sundry Ltd. Pt. Co. Inc."
"Will trade my Fire and Earth Gems for your Water Gems"
further along in fine print, it says:
"PS I don't have the gems yet but I will soon"
"PPS Looking for a long term trade contract with a fixed number of gems per turn"
