Call to the Four Lands

[Nightbreeze]

I have a question for Lazybones:

At the wikispace, there is a son of a wealthy merchant, willing to invest in the new colony. How much are they going to invest, and how much could a noble, or a merchant, invest? I am asking just because I'd like to know how big is my investment pool (15k-20k) , compared with theirs.

Furthermore: is there already in the Southern lands the idea about the joint-stock company? Meaning multiple merchant investing in an enterprise, getting a percentile of any gains that it would yield?

I am not trying to be an ass okay but what your asking for would be the stuff kings and or great nobels would have.....it would just not be avaiable unless it were truly an old family heriloom taken from the dwarves some time ago....and I can not envision the dwarves readily parting with any.

I really do appreciate how you guys are thinking about your characters etc...and while i am willing to fuge a little on the personal interaction front..i just dont feel i can give on the metals portion as that is what makes the races unique and rare...

Sorry

Lazybones?

As far at the son of the wealthy merchant and the others they are all NPC's yet to be introduced to the party..i was just trying to get infomration up on the space for you guys to cross reference when play started.

Yes a joint stock company concept does exist as well as something very similar to Lloyds of London and then again you have the Great Banking HOuses.

15k to 20k is a respectable amount for sure.....

I nixed mithril etc so you need to change your brestplate..

Given that i have made mithril and such extremely rare I think it reasonable to assume that it forced the develepoment of high quality steel so thinking about folded swords and toledo/damascus steel I will allow steel breastplates that due to their forging are only 1/2 a heavy as their traditionaly counterparts.

Sorry, JA

I managed once again to bite off more than I can chew. I am already lost as far as keeping up with The Colony is concerned, and it will only get worse from here, so I'd better withdraw from the game while I can do so without causing much of a ripple. You had too many druids, anyway, right?

We dont strat till saturday ...so not behind at all...and actually not really scotely bowed out as a druid so that only leaves one in addition to you...

so feel free to stay..but i can respect being busy as heck so if not this one then the next one for sure..

 

[Leif]

Ok. I'll try to get caught up on wiki study tonight, then. I really do like Hennett a lot, despite the name thingy.

So... nevermind. Reports of my withdrawal have been greatly exaggerated.

I think you will like the pace of this game, it is going to be kinda slow and tedious at times as you build the colony so lots of time for thought etc...

But do they count as light armor like Mithril ones? Otherwise I'll need to step down to chainshirt. Which is a real shame for my conquistador image.

You might replace one of Performance skills with Perform(Dancing) so you can use Battledancer feat...also, Randal doesn't have dancing and usually doesn't sing being more of a historian then entertainer...

Cool, I'll check it out. I'm not familiar with that one.

Can any of you remarkably talented gents craft a suit of magical leather armor that protects as well as suit of magical armor of a heavier nature that wouldn't violate the armor restrictions of a druid? Apparently, Hennett will be with you after all.
