[QUOTE="Nephtys, post: 3309391, member: 31780"] [sblock=Voidrazor] ooc: Thanks :). Melanoce considers her options, pleased by the openings she percieves. The Kaydian situation was of particular interest. Modernizing an entire world and integrating it into the unviersal community would certainly be a long term undertaking, but it would if handled correctly give her both considerable profits and substantial influence over her neigbour, and though slave-trade could be a risky business it should perhaps not be dismissed all together at this time. Though considering the Citizen of Kaydia seemed capable of considerable divinative ability it would have to be handled very carefully. Unless an understanding could be reached, which seemed doubtful. Perhaps an exchange of information would get her some leverage in establishing herself on Kaydia... [B]She welcomes the Glietsel warmly, and asks to hear their offer while presenting them with pleasing mental images.[/B] Lord Direspirit, she smiles uneasily, what an interesting gentleman. Faerzress was certainly a valuable commodity, disgustingly so in fact. But would the source be reliable? Necromancers, for all their talk of eternity, could be very short-sighted people. She would have to arrange a long term relationship, but on which grounds? Oh, he would need magical supplies, she supposed, refined magic as opposed to the raw magic he would sell to her and she would pass on to others. Perhaps he would even be interested in a security-arrangement? She would have to gauge his character carefully to determine the true value of such a plan. Miss Seraphina could turn out to be a worthy advesary, or a valuable ally that would need a careful touch to manage. In either case she wold need a leverage, and the primitive state of her worlds finances presented just such a opportinity.
