"This is hypothetical, but I've heard that the tax lowerings to come will all apply to import products. That'd make local farmers, carpenters etc. lose some of their profit when the cost of imported stuff becomes lower."
Timonthy pulls out a pipe from a pouch in his belt and proceeds to fill it.
"And the groom, I know him. We used to learn reading and writing together. He's one Kain Glimmervein, a nice lad. Just not too bright if you ask me."
Finished loading his pipe, Timonthy takes a tindertwig from another pouch and ignites the pipe. Quickly the smell of tobacco spreads to Lorcan and Durban's noses, accompanied by something else, maybe some kind of herb.
Horros
Samantha takes the six golds from Horros.
"I pretty much guessed you would but decided I'd make the offer anyway. Do you want something else?"
Haplo
"I'd rather have if you could begin right now, we have a mind master who can make both you and your animal friend invisible to the naked eye. We don't have too much time, considering the wedding is to be held tomorrow."

"Hmm, so it would seem unlikely that your friend is in any danger. The local guilds might well be the place to start looking for suspects, if the tax cuts will have the effects you say." Lorcan takes a swig from his mug of ale, drumming his fingers on the side as he thinks.
"Have any of the local merchants or guilds been particularly outspoken against the tax changes? Do they have the support of any of the local nobility?"

"I think that's about it. It's a pity, though, since I see lots of quality stuff that I like, but my purse isn't up it at the moment." Horros smiles, "I guess I'll have to return here someday when I'm more able in the cash department."
Horros stops to think for a moment and says, "Actually there is something. A handaxe. Usually someone else in the groups that I travel with carries one, but I was recently in a situation that required one, but we had none. Swords aren't suited for jobs that axes are meant for, and that fact almost cost us lives. Now I'll be prepared for the next time, and carry one myself."

"I don't know about any particular cases."
Timothy puffs out a cloud of smoke from the corner of his mouth.
"But I've heard that the thieves' guild in particular will suffer since smuggling won't be needed as much.
And no, Kain won't be getting the position by marrying. A new mayor gets elected by the city council when the current decides to step aside."

Samantha smiles.
"Tell you what? I'll give it to you free if you tell your friends about my place."

Horros thinks Samantha’s words for a moment, "I'm not very comfortable taking anything free from you, maybe you could give some kind of a discount instead. But either way I'll spread the word off this place."
