JA's "The Prince's Own" Scotley/Henry Northantis Solo/RG

[J. Alexander]

As he killed the perp..he really has no other axe to grind....he does accept your offer...

 

[Scotley]

After securing the oath, Henry makes a handsome offer for some work. The rates he offers are generous coming from the money he was given to 'enjoy the intake'. "I need a few things. Could you make me a pair of military officers campaign desks? Small and portable with folding legs, space for paper, ink, pens and other supplies as well as some storage. I'd like some of the storage to be hidden and protected by puzzle locks. They should be of quality woods with one utilitarian and slightly larger for my servant secretary and the other a bit more ornate and compact for me, still elegant and functional. In addition to these I would like a pair of comfortable camp chairs sized for my height and build and again elegantly decorative. Once those are complete I'd like you to start work on a third campaign desk, the finest of the three as gift for my father. The first two desks, and the chairs I need rather quickly, but you can take your time on the third. I am prepared to pay for all in advance so that you can pay for materials and tools as well as a space to work. I will also commend your work to my family in hopes of getting you some business to get started. There after I hope you'll be able to establish yourself, I'm told you are quite skilled." .

Henry makes arrangements for the release and arranges for contact with the young man once he gets settled.

 

[J. Alexander]

The young man accepts and says he can have them all ready in a fortnight

 

[Scotley]

Okay, will have Daniel track down a couple more books before our journey. A guidebook to the Capital and some introductory texts for the laws of the land.

 

[J. Alexander]

He can locate a few old maps and the local barrister has a semi current book of stautes

 

[Scotley]

That out of the way...

Henry bids his father goodbye and rides with his servant and pack animals to the local portal and is transfered to the outskirts of the Capital. Henry can't help grin at the use of such powerful magic as well as the sights of the city before him. Having spent a little time familiarizing himself with the maps his eyes immediately seek out landmarks. He'll make his way to the Palace and Green doing a bit of sight seeing along the way. Once he finds his tent he puts out his banners and sets Daniel to getting the household in order. He'll go to the stable he made arrangements with and get the mounts stabled. He'll give the stable hand an extra couple of gold to see that the horses are kept presentable as he hopes to sell them before the week is out. If the lad comes across a good buyer there will be a little something extra from the sale in it for him as well.

 

[J. Alexander]

For a modest sum of 5 gold the stable master will have them groomed for auction

 

[Scotley]

Pay the man. Set off to visit the local tailor I arranged to make some court fashion.

 

[J. Alexander]

The local tailor is in the shop Reubensteun and Sons.. Currently the fashion is for pastels ~

 

[Scotley]

I believe Henry had sent ahead for two outfits in the latest court fashion. He'll get a final fitting and hope he doesn't look too foolish in orange sherbet, salmon pink, cornflower blue and mint green. He'll try to get a little gossip about what folks are wearing this season and who the tailor thinks has the best fashion sense. Upon finishing there he'll go to pick up his uniforms.
