I guess I'll meet my client at the Colonial Hotel ?
That could work very well. I can think of 3 ways to involve Etienne at this point:
1) At the Colonial Hotel meeting a client, as you say. Since Etienne surely has some fine furs with him, it could play nicely off of [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION]'s character Nia Steeleyes who has the "Wastrel" ill fortune meaning she tends to blow money on frivolous luxuries such as some fine furs. Could be a good way to introduce Etienne to them, and maybe as a fellow Frenchman (well French
American) he might appear to the financier NPC du Tourbillon directly.
2) Alternately, he might be seeking out a dwarf known as Old Zef (@Fenris' character) who is an agent of the Dutch East India Company to conduct a bulk trade. Etienne would also know that Old Zef is engaged in organizing an expedition which might have something to do with La Gloriosa. He could show up at the Safehouse or Colonial Hotel seeking him out.
3) Alternately, Etienne could be relying on smugglers to handle a delicate trade the powers-that-be in the Bahamas (England & Blackbeard) do not approve of. In this case, he could be dealing with the smuggler Komodo Roy who [MENTION=23484]Kobold Stew[/MENTION]'s character Barrington is about to seek out. Komodo Roy is very difficult to do business with, so the characters could end up helping one another out.
The choice is yours. And feel free to post in the role-playing thread
