Yaima is one of the merchants of Orilla. A young, exuberant fishmonger, her hands bear the callouses of those who work for a living. She has set up shop in a sandstone building nearby the Nilakantha River, and now spends her days selling fishing supplies to adventurers and buying their catches of fish.

Fishing supplies

Deep sea fishing pole - 700gp
This pole is made of a heavy yet flexible jointed wood and is over six cubits in length. The handle is covered with a thick, dark-brown sheet of some animal skin that has been spiral stitched to the pole. Above the handle sits a largish reel and a spool of some line made of finely spun strands woven together. The line feeds through a series of metal loops decreasing in size from the reel to the pole's tip.
Simple fishing pole - 150gp
Made of a supple wood and seven feet long, this pole is capable of fishing all the waterways of Sapience. Tiny metal loopholes have been embedded into the lower part of the rod, and a very slim string passes through them from an ingenious mechanical reel at the base. The reel itself appears to be a whirling marvel of moving parts that allows the line to be reeled in or cast out with but a deft flick of the wrist. A short length of line has been released at the top of the pole, where you can plainly see a number of weights, a shiny lure, and a menacing, barbed hook.
Bait bucket - 200gp
Low and wide for stability, this wooden bait bucket is admirably adapted to its task. It has two carved handles with metal reinforcement along the top edge. The upper lip curves inwards, overhanging the centre in order to keep some of the more lively contents from seeking their freedom.
Small bait - 15gp
Worm, minnow, and sand flea for catching small fish in rivers and lakes.
Medium bait - 70gp
Shrimp, shelled clam and crab for catching medium fish in rivers and lakes.
Large bait - 150gp
Octopus and mudsucker for catching large fish in rivers and lakes.
Huge bait - 250gp
Rock bass and marble carp for catching huge fish in the oceans. Also known as medium lake fish.
