Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bannock" data-source="post: 5639308" data-attributes="member: 6667040">Seeing the high prices all around the town, and the glut of refugees, Bannock sees opportunities abound."There's a lot o' defenseless people here, and so much hate for Ragesia. That, I can get behind! These people need help though. Weapons, armour, equipment, training - a man with the right supplies stands to make a fortune here, and smiths are always valued in times of war! Kirio seems to have the rooms sorted, so I'm going to go out and see what I can find, and perhaps sell some of our wares. If we have extra weapons or armor, I'll see what can be sold. I could use a fast talker, to negotiate and find supplies, as well. And hell, perhaps the battle mages of the Lyceum would appreciate some quality Bannock-forged steel!"Bannock, and anyone willing to follow, goes outside and strolls about the camps, looking for a place to set up. Bannock is equipped with a full set of smith's tools. All he would need to start repairing equipment is to find an anvil, and a place to get a hot fire going. To forge new weapons, he needs to be able to fold steel, and for that he would need to make a kiln, and he would need raw materials.He makes a circuit of the camps, picking up scrap lumber and driftwood that he could use to hammer together a crude workbench, and wraps what he collects into a faggot he slings over his shoulder.He walks about, shouting out, "Smith here! Smith for hire! Get your shattered spears and cloven swords repaired! Armour for sale! Smith for hire!"To anyone who answers his call, since it's already getting late in the day, he tells them to come see him the next morning at a certain spot in the camps near the town's edge. Meanwhile, he looks in earnest for an anvil, a cart, and a mule. He's also interested in a set of masterwork tools, if he can find any. He continues through the camps and back into town, and then spends some time marching up and down the docks, talking to harbour merchants, and merchant captains, asking after their trade goods. He is looking for iron, steel, raw or scrap, as well as checking for the cost and availability of rarer materials. In particular, he asks the ship captains if they have or have heard of supplies of silver, adamantine, or mithral.When he's done, he'll return to the inn and report his findings to the party. If it turns out that there is potentially profit to be made, he may have to ask for some financial assistance to buy what's needed to get started.[OOC]I'll provide any rolls at DM's instructions.[/OOC]</blockquote>
