A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[Scotley]

"Alright, here's what I can get my hands on on short notice." Giraldii passes over a sheet of parchment with the following list:

25 suits leather armor

50 suits cork and canvas armor

8 suits chain mail

5 suits shark skin armor

5 suits studded leather (halfling or gnome sized)

20 chain shirts (10 are halfling or gnome sized)

50 long swords

100 short bows

2000 arrows

50 battle axes

20 great swords

50 pikes

100 halberds

100 daggers

50 tridents

OOC: Sorry for the delay, I have surveyers in so I have to be at work, but I'm battling a cold. Things should improve in a day or two.

Dinner with Giraldii

As you are finishing a review of the list, a standing rib roast is brought in. The paper crowns on each bone have been carefully hand painted with the Storm and Company Logo. The meat is tender, juicy and seasoned with a peppery blend of spices that hints of the far south. The roast is served with potatos and leeks in a cream sauce and a simple dish of green beans with a little salt pork for flavor. A dark red wine with a smoky flavor and lots of tanins complements the food well.

Dinner with Giraldii

Michael will carfully review the list. He will ask a few polite questions and contiue his review. When the roast is brought in, he will serve Girallii a generous portion as well as a mediume portion for himself and say "2500gp for the lot"

Giraldii

A look of shock crosses the man's face. "Sir, the armor alone is worth more than that. I expected a low opening bid, but I really must protest. The bows are worth more than you offer by themselves."

 

[J. Alexander]

Dinner with Giraldii

With a shark like grin Michael will reply "Pehaps we can sweeten the offer little, what figure did you have in mind."

 

[Scotley]

Giraldii

"Well, I really feel we may be too far apart to reach an accord, but since you have been a gracious host and generous with fine food and good wine...I'll say five times your offer, 12,500. Truely, in my heart I had an even higher number in mind."

 

[J. Alexander]

Dinner with Giraldii

Looking at Giraldii Michael will continue "You once again have a most excellent point. As I am hoping to establish a profitable and ongoing relationship pray tell me what your heart was set on and perhaps we can negiogate from there."

 

[Scotley]

The haggling begins in earnest

He takes a sip of wine to give himself time to consider. As the negotiations heat up he has hardly touched the roast, despite its quality. He glaces down as if noticing it for the first time and takes a bite savoring it as he considers. Clearly he is buying time as he considers what sort of negotiator Michael is, but also taking pleasure in the food. "I am content with 12,500 to start, as I too hope to see a long and prosperous relationship develop. Besides, we have other items to consider if we can't reach an agreement on arms and armor."

 

[J. Alexander]

Dinner with Giradlii

"Done then on the Arms and Armour. Shall we now look at the household items. If i am to take on so much arms and such then I will need somthing less conspcious and attractive to the authorites for my other cargo. "


OCC: Does Michael have any idea the type of market Arms and Armour has ?

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Well there is always a market for arms and armor, but you will be sailing mostly through Dwarven/Orcish lands and neither race will be inclined to buy much made by outsiders. Perhaps prospects will be better in Bronhelm, which though founded by dwarves has a large population of other races or even in the Crosscroft Isles, which is mostly Halfling. Perhaps even in far Icewatch you can do well. I'll try and get the other goods up later today.
