"Armor's always good, as long as it doesn't slow you down too much.  If I were made of money, I'd like to get something harder that's been lightened by magic -- but that won't happen any time soon.  This will bring me closer to getting a quiver like this one," he gestures at the quiver with a single arrow, "but with silvered heads, or maybe a magic arrow."

Mario excuses himself and goes to his own room briefly.

I concur with Charlene getting a half share and the odd $5.

In reply to Jocelyn Lemru (msg # 207):

you all have returned to your lock of row houses, which could use some whitewash, roof tiles, bedding and locks.  The places are cleaner, thanks to Nodwin's collection of Vejovian  cultists doing upkeep.
The druid in the new grove behind the houses has increased the greenery in that yard, and Benito's shop on the corner is doing well.

Upgrades needed for the home place, eh?  Locks, definitely, roof tiles we should get (leaks are bad), and bedding is a very important luxury.  Whitewash?  Well, it does protect the building materials...

Let's ask around and see what the structure repairs/improvements will cost, and ask in a different place about bedding (mattress ticks and straw, rope and frame beds, blankets, pillows, maybe even sheets...

Mario doesn't remember sleeping between sheets, though he's well aware some folks do it every night.  Might be a nice novelty.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 209):

Are Clarence orders all ready? I think I remember something about them being ready now...so Clarence will clamber off to get them, and sell the items he no longer needs.

In reply to Clarence Montague (msg # 210):

Clarence can go collect his parcels, locks cost upward of $50 each, and outfitting the rooms should cost about $400 per person, less if you buy cheap.

Each point in base gets you one status higher from the -2 start; 2 points gets you an average apartment within the home.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 211):

Ok. Clarence already has 2 points in base. He will spend $450 to get a lock and outfit his room, selling the flail but keeping the rugged lantern. How much will he get for the flail?

I'll drop the $400, but knowing how little good locks do against someone who's not just an opportunist, he'll go for a cheap lock ($25?).

Also, did I miss a point award recently?  Last one I have recorded is from April.  Regardless, I have a few unspent, I'll go ahead and spend the 2 cp on Base to bring up the status of my apartment.

She buys a good lock and spends up to $500 to fix up her rooms and the outside of the building.
She knows the lock is not perfect, but the thief who tries to pick it in her absence will not succeed regardless.

In reply to Jocelyn Lemru (msg # 214):

The Vejovians have been keeping the place clean, and whitewashed the fronts of the buildings, and some have even removed the bloodstains from the floors.


They report to you that there have been people with guards and fancy clothes inspecting the area.

In reply to cultist (msg # 215):

"Wha manner o swells? We hae tae deed tae this property.
Who comes tae 'inspect'?"

the Vejovians are a little uncertain, but describe well dressed folk in some kind of uniform
who are neither wearing the blue cl9aks of the local guardsmen
nor the purple robes of the Hadereum.

What color robes were the Cultists using? The ones who were worshipping Chaos / the Devourer/ aka the Saturnines?

"Those cultists were in dark brown -- I think someone said they were using dead squid and cats to dye the robes for some reason."

She looks at the Vejovians So a dark Brown color?

In reply to Jocelyn Lemru (msg # 220):

The vejovians shake their heads and hash out a conflicting set of descriptions that involve
 blue and yellow stripes and lots of gold trim on ornate gear.
There were armed guards with them, wearing blue and yellow.
Most of all, they were kind of snooty and looked like they smelled something bad.

In reply to cultist (msg # 221):

Do we recognize any of the descriptions?

Character may well know but the Player is clueless.

Anyone have area knowledge: Northport ? If so, roll at +1, if not IQ-3.

"My business is cracking. That may be some of the reason..."

This is where his shop is located, right? What percentage of his business is from Adventures, including this party?

In reply to Benito Drake (msg # 228):

A guy from the guild named Oren bought up a lot of the armor; he apparently hires out guards to caravans.
That was a good chunk of his trade;
he also made some locking hardware for a Shevnian innkeeper
a couple blocks up.
Benito was working in the basement when
the envoys came.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 229):

The Vejovians assist in installing the new furnishings.
They may need expanded quarters, and it might noot be a bad use for
the prior cult headquarters, especially as the Vejovians worship
underground.
