At his comment Michael says "Now the true test is if we will be able to withstand all the notions and plans of females planning a wedding".....Changing the tenor of the conversation and hoping to bring the Chieftian more on board Michael adds "What would you suggest to help our little venture here on Tergere?"

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Let me ponder that one a bit. I'll try to respond this afternoon.

OOC: Sorry real life has been getting in the way this week.

The Party

Sensing the Chieftians recluntance to share his own plans, Michael will turn the conversation to general matters. After the last course has been eaten and the coffee served...Michael will say "Shall we join the party before we come back for brandy, cigars and more serious discussion." The motioning to Grond...he says..."Grond please carry that coffer..it has the bride price in it"

 

[Scotley]

"I do have a venture or two in the works that might be of interest to our little group. I have have the formulations for a couple of dyes believed lost for many years. These colors are fairly expensive to make and due to their rarity could command a high price in the market. As yet I have not been able to assemble the capital to properly exploit the formulations, but I think our venture could do it."

OOC: My apologies, too much going on of late. Things should be back to normal for a while now. At least a couple of weeks. BTW, Branding Opportunity is looking for you. It would be polite to let him know if you've chosen not to continue with George.

"That sounds like a worth endevor indeed......that should perhaps be our first long term project...}

 

[Scotley]

"The first two are I have are called Amber Glow and Summer Shade. They are pigments for glass. Most Tregeran dyes are for cloth, but these are best for glasswork. The Amber Glow is particularly prized for lamps. It gives a warm light that is considered romantic. It was in huge demand a 100 years ago, but fell out of use during the Plague. Summer shade is a light tint for southern exposures that takes out the harshness of the sun without making it too dark or dreary like smoke glass or other shades. Summer Shade lenses for telescopes were considered vital to sea captains before the formulation was lost. Old lenses command a hefty price on the used market these days if you can even find one for sale." Amabar nods as the chieftan is speaking, and seems interested in the idea.

Seeing Ambar in agreement Michael will comment...."while we are working on the formula's I propose that we modify the klins i am builiding to accodomate both brick/tile and now glass goods. In addition as I sell north....i can look for several master glass blowers and lens grinders to come to Tereger on a year or two year contract to insturct our people in these arts thus providing a skilled but still cheap labor force for our goods as well as local control."

 

[Scotley]

"Very good, such an arrangement should prove productive. I've no doubt the people here could learn the needed skills with proper training."
