[QUOTE="Feir Fireb, post: 1326349, member: 14074"] [out of order with the other pages] Matteo had been nodding to many of Marcus' points, "Bene, primus Marcus! I am agreed that a group of us ought to leave to scout out a site at which to establish Lumen Montis as soon as you have come to an agreement with Marie of Bonisagus. For my part, I too have some experience in bargaining from my youth." He furrowed his brow and gazed down at the table for a little with his sole eye, "My father was a merchant in Lombardy and Burgundy, and I learned a little of his trade, in what time I had with him." Matteo brought his gaze back to Marcus, "But I do not doubt your skill, and it is good that our leader should represent us in this matter, as one in whom we place our confidence." At this, he brightened, "In any event, I will gladly offer such advice as I can. Laurentius taught me well that a skilled investigator ought not rely solely upon magic to understand a person and his motives, and so it is likely that I know a few things of the ways of the magi of Lemannus that not even they know of themselves." "While I would be glad to join the scouting expedition and may be of some use there, I suspect I may be better put to the attainment of books for our library if sufficient others have interest in going to Monthey. Given sufficient effort, we may find ourselves with the opportunity to create additional copies of our first texts, which will be useful for trading with other covenants." "I believe that I have already made known the texts in which I have interest." "Of the vis that we request from Lemannus, I would advice much Rego, as I suspect that I and others of the covenant are likely to have much use of it in the future. Perdo would be good, too, as I suspect we may need help as a group in studying it. This may also be true of Aquam and Auram. Corpus and Animal will be important for those of us attempting longevity potions or familiars. Mentem and Ignem are difficult to find and hence valuable to us, though they may be difficult to repay if we cannot find good sources. Vim will be useful many things, including casting the Aegis, and is more easily obtained. I am also likely to have personal desire for Intellego and Mentem vis at some point in the future. We should also consider what manner of vis we are to offer in exchange for books." "And unless our primus has any other duties in mind for me, I think I should like to participate in the Certamen tournament," Mateo grins, "if only to see what skills the covenant has to offer." [Matteo favors Creo and Rego as techniques, Vim as a form, and to a lesser extent Corpus. He is likely to decline the position if he wins, unless he does so overwhelmingly] "Also, I do think that Certamen within the covenant should preclude the use of communal Vis, and that the Vis keeper should have the primary authority here, deferring of course to the primus and council."
