[QUOTE="Bront, post: 3067041, member: 19696"] OOC: Actualy, very little was saved, because what wasn't already burning (It was lit for almost 45 minutes before you got there) now has dirt all over it, and it's still sitting out on the road. [COLOR=Magenta]"I think it's a personal attack. Someone wants me out of business. Not sure what I would have done to earn such spite though." "Slavery is accepted here in Rheim, and it's not uncommon for someone to sell themselves into slavery if they are desperate. The Harewinds were desperate when my grandfather was a young man, though I didn't quite get why, and head of the family sold himself and his lands to us, but that he be allowed to slowly pay off the debt over the course of 100 years. It was a little odd, but he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth, particularly for the price. He was a pretty scrupulious bastard though, and hid two clauses in there. One allowed him to sell the contract to someone else, and another that allowed a new purchaser to void the repayment. Fortunately, he got sick and died before he could sell it. Father invested some of the money from that into the clothing business, and with the help of the Harewinds, he did pretty well, and taught me the trade." At that point, the young elf woman returns with more roast and vegitables. She sets them down further down the table, so that the new arivals can have something in easy reach. "However, business has been down, and money's getting tight. And if I don't get some retun on our goods and work in the next two months, I won't be able to afford the taxes Riem charges, and the first thing the city does is sieze slaves and auctions them off."[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
