Dinner

Smiling at her comment and before she turns all business Michael says "To bad the chef is not a woman, i would indeed propose marraige within the hour"...As she turns towards business Michael listens to her comments and says..."I truly appreciate your style, Madame, I often get tired of long drawn out not to the point negiogations so I will be equally blunt in my pricing....how does 6 silver a pound for the regular salt, 2.8 gold a pound for the pink sea salt, 20 gp an ounce for the black pepper, 12 gp a pound for the peppercorns, 1.5 gold for the cinnamon per ounce and 7gp an ounce for the ginger"

Popping a final bite of cheese in her mouth and chewing thoughtfully considers your offer. She washes the cheese down with a sip of wine. "What will you do with such a profit I wonder?" She smiles at Michael. "Very well Captain I agree to your terms. How would you like me to deliver payment?"

Dinner

Taking a sip of his wine Michael says "That i do not know yet, but i think you will also realize a profit in time also, that is an ability i do envy in the larger concerns, the ability to be patient and time the market right to maximize profits" Taking another sip, he adds "A draft if fine Madam"...then looking with a twinkle in his eye at them he says "Dare we chance champagne to toast our agreement,,perhaps with a few strawberries"

OCC: Sorry had a sick sinus headache/cold been out of it most of the night.

Obscene Profit

Calculating the profit mentally, Michael is somewhat staggerd, bewteen his lucky purchase of the cigars and his trading of them and now the selling of the spices he acquried he has went from an overextended postion relaying on his credit line at the Imperial Captain's Bank to bail him out and to finance other vetures to a cash rich postion. The profit from the spices, especialy the lucky purchase of the pink sea salt etc resulted in his free up 171,438 in captial and profit after the gnomes 3% comission of 5302. Added to that the trade with the gnome himself, Michael has totaled 197,800......this will allow him to pay off the debit with ease on the pirate magic items...as well as cover the cost of the refurbshing of the three ships etc which he was straining to have to do...... so DAMN .... and most thankfully allow him to establish a large cash reserve.............

 

[Scotley]

"An excellent idea." Says the gnome. Ms. Butterflake nods her approval. "They do have a nice cellar here. I'm sure they can find something that will do justice to the moment." Grond rouses himself to say "Here Here!"

OOC: I'll find some way to seperate you from the cash. You still have to extricate yourself from your troubles with the young dwarf, and I haven't presented the bill for the meal yet.

Sorry you are under the weather. Get some rest and maybe you'll feel better tomorrow. I'm about to call it a night myself.

Dwarves and Dinner

Michael will join the small group in celebrating the success of the dinner and business arrangement. As the party ends he will see both of them to their respective carraiges etc. As he helps Madame Butterflake into her carriage he will say "It has been truly a pleaseant and enjoyable experience, I hope I may call upon you sometime and take you to either lunch or another dinner".....then to Glimmerdwand he says "I am deeply in your deep Master Glimmerswang, I will send a draft to your place of bussiness tomorrow if that is acceptable or if you have time, please join me for lunch aboard my ship tomorrow"....Michale will then walk back in and settle the bill hopefuly it will be less than 5k but i just dont know while in there he will ask the matire de' if he could perhaps purcahse two or three bottles of Ms. Butterflakes favorite wine so that he may send them in a gift basket to her.

Settling the accounts, Michael and Grond will return to the ship and a peaceful n ights sleep. "I hope you enjoyed yourself old friend, I was so happy to have you with me on an occasion that just involved pleaseantries instead of bloodshed"

OCC: I have no doubt but i think i may have found a way to kinda buy my way out of the dwarf thing with a gift....

This cold things sucks i am either nauseous or have a headache or both...and no energy at all

 

[Scotley]

Having said your goodbyes, made arrangements for payment and pick up of cargo and paid the tab of 800 gp., Michael has a pleasant ride in the carriage. He sees that Ms. Butterflake and Glimmerdwang are riding in her company carriage, which looks something like a miniature rolling palace. "That was indeed a most pleasant and enlightening evening," note Grond. You return to the Retribution without incident.

Dinner

Upon returning to the ship, Michael will make a inspection of it and the guard posting before retiring to bed.......Sleeping peacefully hopefuly the entire night.

 

[Scotley]

The night passes uneventfully. The rain of the previous evening has died down to a drizzle, but it is a dreary day.

OOC: I'll get a proper post up tomorrow. I have an exciting day of X-Mas shopping ahead.

Dwarves

Michael will awake refreshed and after a light breakfeast will ascend to the quarterdeck where he will meet with the officers. "We have sold most of our cargo gentlmen so lets see to it we can get it unloaded in a timely and safe fashion. The household goods, the spices need to be all ready to go when their parties arrive so the crew is in for a long day of labor but if we get it all done then we will celebrate tonight that is if Master Willum has managed to engage entertainment for us and Master Guissippe has arranged for the food"
