merchant covers shop

In reply to Narrator (msg # 399):

Ah, what professional skill is appropriate then?

In reply to Benito Drake (msg # 400):

it is not needed.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 401):

Trading with Trolls:
everyone gets 6 pts
base pay is dependent on pt value:
$200 for 250pts
$150 for 125pts
$75 for 62pts

egg sales are $1500, landing everyone a $100 bonus

Grohm'Tahl gets a total of $450 back on his $300 investment

collective bonus from Rushagorn for saving his bacon and avoiding loss
is $175 extra each.

Nice, thanks!

If I can find Spielgud, I'd like to learn Haste and Lighten Burden.  I've also increased my Energy Reserve by 1 (for 3 CP).  I'll save the rest, leaving me with two unspent (saving toward ST increase).

Thank you!

Well, yes, there's that...

In reply to Tommy (msg # 405):

that can be done... once you get out.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 407):

Oo I need a teacher for any of that? If not,  why do I need to wait until we get out?

Tommy will also seek to make the following purchases:

- Fine, balanced Sylvan Silvercoated Short Baton, $240, for 2' fishing rod...
- Waterskin, $10

Grohm will sink another 2 CP into Survival: Underground/cave to bring it up to 11.  He seems to be spending a lot of time down there.   Should be a useful investment of CP.

In reply to Tommy (msg # 409):

a silver coated baton would have to be made of metal- you need to roll a 6 to find one with all of those qualities otherwise it will be available in two weeks time.

Survival underground is a good buy in!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 411):

Ok, rolled an 8. Since Sylvan and Silver are incompatible, is 8 good enough to find this?

- Fine, balanced Sylvan Short Baton, $220, for 2' fishing rod...

In Into the Vale:

$18000 worth of gold alchemical tools

the formulary msy be worth more...

It might well be, but I'm still ethically torn on whether we should sell it at all.

In reply to Evelina Grattan (msg # 414):

"I think with appropriate warnings it could be something we can benefit from. There are many instances every day that demonstrate that we cannot protect people against their own greed, but we can warn them. That is what we should do, but it would be remit of us to deny the research that cost the alchemist his life just because we could not trust future researchers not to kill themselves with their own greed. Indeed, it can be used to pay for their recovery."

This was missed?

In reply to Tommy (msg # 416):

that is available.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 417):

Thank you! Will purchase that then.

In reply to Tommy (msg # 418):

Are spells still $20/fp cost, plus a Thaumatology roll?

most of the cold spells aren't available from Spielgud-the earth and lightning spells are, but beyond cold and resist cold he has no other frost spells... but there is one you know pf who does, as seen in a firey vision...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 420):

Yes, I was going to come to that next...does anyone in the guild know cold spells? They would be the best place to start about that investigation...

So spells I can get now are

this goes well... until Spielgud critically miscasts lightning... and the resultant storm ends up zapping you both for 2 pts plus stun...

In reply to Speilgud (msg # 422):

Christine is willing to accept a discount for him teaching the rest to make up for the pain...
