"As to hulls, this first one might be of interest. Only a certain type of purchaser would be able to benefit, but the price is right. The ship is the Cyrstal Princess, a luxury liner. She was on her way back from a major overhaul with a skeleton crew when pirates fell on her. The crew scuttled her rather than see her fall to pirates. She's been on the bottom in fairly shallow water for just over a month. Insurance has paid off and she is now fair salvage if you could raise her. I could sell you a map to her exact position. She's intact. I know that is not exactly what you had in mind, but it is real prize for the man who could raise her."

"That sounds like a most promising lead. How far away would you estibmate here to be and at what cost the map or would you settle for a percentage of her resale profit/"

"Well, obviously, I can't say too much about her position, but she is less than a week away." He frowns, "you give me quite a delima, I can't charge too much for the location as the ship is only worth so much on the bottom. Her resale potintial is great, but do I trust that you'll be able to do something with her. I was of a mind to charge 2000 gp for a detail map of her location."

"2000 does not sound that bad but alas i also face a deliman. I must be away North soon, and I do not know if I will have a week to spare as I have numerous trading stops on the way to Bronholm. Let me think on this particualr offer and perhaps consult one or two of my officers in the way to timetables and feasability. Would that put you at an inconvience if I dealy this decsion till perhaps after we load the already agreed upon cargo's?

"The second ship is really more of a barge and truely a hull. It was converted to use as a dance hall here by an interprizing fellow named Jadavan, but the shortage of available women here and the frequent fights over the ones who were there kept the overhead too high. He then tried his hand at a casino, but about three weeks ago the upperworks burned. Some say angry patrons cheated by Jadavan's games did it, others say it was Jadavan's competition. All I know is I can get the rights to the hull, which is still solid. It's a large almost square barge hull."
