Destiny's Tears: Zykovian's Sidetrack

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: He's not in finanical debt, per se--he owes the Convocation a term of service, though)

 

[Keia]

OOC: So how long is the term of service . . . and is there a monetary equivalent mentioned?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: He has to perform a series of missions that are goal-based rather than serve for any particular length of time. These missions will generally be issued periodically with notice, such that the ship can be used for personal activities in the interim. No monetary equivalent was listed--they seem to want explorers and adventurers who will work with them rather than funds)

 

[Keia]

OOC: Well then the use of funds for that purpose is eliminated . It doesn't look like he can buy back Lyveria's belongings, they were destroyed most likely - correct? He has over 4,000 credits remaining . . . magic items would seem to be unlikely at that price. Are their any goods that would be useful to be sold on the comet from her that he could buy? Where would be a good place to check on something like that? Otherwise, it seems he'll be buying Lyveria some equipment . . . or renting his flat . . . or holding on to the money.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yes, they were most likely destroyed. That amount of credits could buy a +1 weapon, perhaps, or a Handy Haversack. Varylys isn't far enough from Eldiz to have pricing that is too distinct, particularly since traveling from one to the other is popular as part of longer trips. However, by paying careful attention to the ebb and flow of supply and demand, which would probably require checking both places and making a merchant's logbook on price fluctuations, it could be possible to make slightly profitable purchases and resales between the two, and slight profit can bring even more profit in bulk. Zykovian is probably not equipped to begin something like that right now, though

By the way, methinks that the fact that you haven't thought of how to spend it yet seems like good proof to me that the Bounty Hunting biz is lucrative enough to support Zyk's lifestyle )

 

[Keia]

OOC: Oh . . . I've thought of a lot of ways to spend it, but in the quantity that it is in, it is insufficient for any of those purchases. Things to spend it on . . . Enhancing his own bow - take too long . . . Deposit on the flat - insufficient for a full purchase with moderate risk of losing it all without benefitting from the flat (plus, Zykovian still needs to find out what happened with his family, and bountyhunting was a means of paying to get off of Eldiz and back into space searching - but no direction in that area) . . . Spell research - insufficient time . . . Merchantiling - insufficient knowledge. Etc.

Zykovian still needs to find out what happened with his family, and bountyhunting was a means of paying to get off of Eldiz and back into space searching

(OOC: The irony of this statement does not escape me (but only me, or maybe Molpe too) Fortunately, the Convocation provided him with a ship, so he should be able to do some searching in between missions)

 

[Keia]

OOC: Otherwise, you concur with my observations though? My computer is lagging terribly . . . finally got back on . . . I'm going to call it a night.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Mostly, yeah--it's a lot of cash, but not enough to do anything incredibly lucrative all at once, not after giving so much away to the Mojiin Good luck with the computer )

 

[Keia]

OOC: Yeah . . . don't know what's wrong with the thing . . . ubt it currently makes posting at home almost impossible. And work is being unfriendly to me (the administrators been here each of the past few days - making posting more difficult). Anyway . . .

*Zykovian headed out . . . the right thing to do was to get equipment for the woman, Lyveria, that was helping him. He went to go find her . . . and find an equipment shop that she could purchase proper equipment at.*

OOC: He's such a softhearted guy. Also, during the trip, did Zykovian have time translate Repair light damage into his spellbook?
