Island Empire - A Warlock Alone Part2

J. Alexander · Mar 27, 2012

Knowing the value of his cargo is handled correclty, Michale will seek out the most reputable and bonded warehouse and seek space large enough to hold the cargo as well as host an auction of sorts. The ship needs to gone over from top to bttm and Michael really needs to get rid of all the cargo he has amasse and finally convert it into cash.

His intent is to auction off the high end skins espcielaly the dire wold/dire bear and dire snow cats skins he have and the more exotice weapons playing off the interest in ICewatch which is sure to be had. These are items that can be certified as being from the fight per see so may command top end prices plus a premiume..to this effect he will hire appraiser to value the entire cargo..

OOC: Okay, lets make some checks how about diplomacy to get a good price on warehouse space and an appraise check to find a knowledgeable appraiser.

Micheal is able to secure a large warehouse space with a storefront which would make a good place for an auction and to show samples to potential buyers. The price isn't has good as he might have liked, but the space is quite appropriate.

He also finds an appraiser. The appraiser is a Gnome, Piater Nackbiddle. He is a very well dressed gentleman is a gray striped suit with silver spats and a very impressive mustache that curls into a spiral on each side. He has a pair of stout Dwarves who assist him. He is happy to make a detailed survey of the cargo once you get it into the warehouse.

OOC: How will you publicize the auction?

Michael will first take out an insurance policy on all the goods for 2.5 million gold pieces....that will great a huge buzz.....

Next he will have bills printed up to announce the auction but will not release them till the week of the auction..

He will hire a very reputable auction house to conduct it.

When he releases his crew to shore leave after his meeting with the port authority their stories and tales will generate a huge buzz..

Michale is going to auction off everything....including the very evil dagger..he will create buzz about that..i know bad..but it fits michaels personality...to hold on to it will only endager his crew and company even more so...best to have a watershed and get rid of it..

OOC: That's a lot of buzz, not unlike a swarm of angry hornets I suspect. Piater Nackbiddle can help you find an auction house should you wish. Is is still your intent for Remona to go out seeking arcanists?

J. Alexander · Mar 30, 2012

Yes Michael will dispatch her as well as Fraxin and Benji, the two ogiers lts', on recruiting missions with instructions to meet back on the appointed date.

Frax and Benji are to try and find some ogiers willing to relocat up north as well as to serve on the various ships and shore points.

Remona says goodbye to Nac'Losin and leaves with a couple sailors baring her trunks and her little pig familiar in tow.

Frax and Benji have a hushed conversation between themselves and then Frax says, "Ya know Captain. If we go up home way recruiting looking pretty much the same as we left, well that won't tell much of a story ya know? But if you were to spring for some new armor and uniforms and go ahead an pay us so we have some cash in our pockets, well we'll make the right impression on the boys back home. You get me?"

J. Alexander · Apr 2, 2012

Michael will bid the sorceress goodbye and offer her two cabin boys gor hepl

Your right to fraxin and benjinand give them 5 k in cash

J. Alexander · Apr 2, 2012

Then as if to make a very prominent point he will give them a squad of ogiers to go with them. Each to be in a fine chainmail haubrek and high quality weapons but with benji and frax it will be more ormate. Even the troops will have 250 gp in addition to the 5 each for bdnji and frax
