Though be careful of the kelpies, matey, they always like to come out after rains. So long as you avoid the coastal waters at night y' should be safe." He describes several of the landmarks Etienneshould look for to find the Verguenzas. "They'll likely be on their fishing boats till morning ends. What to trade with 'em? Why, same as the rest of us. Goods from the northern Americas are rare in these parts. They might be interested in pine pitch for their fishing boats if you are carrying any. G'luck matey. And welcome to our little island of paradise." He chuckles to himself, watching some of the hotel's serving women go about their chores.[ooc]About the Verguenzas? Nothing, since Etienne is new to Nassau and the family isn't well known outside of the island. About the Lucayans? They were a handsome peaceful Taino/Arawak-speaking people who subsisted on the sea, got discovered by Columbus, then shipped off en masse to Hispaniola as slaves in the 1500's.About the value of your cargo (and the percentage that is Etienne's), I think that would depend on if you want to take the Booty fortune or not. If not, then it's most likely wheat/corn alcohol, furs, pine pitch for boat building, and American herbal remedies like willow bark for pain; the value would probably be 200-300 gp worth, though the money would go to the company and he would only receive a 10% cut. If you DO take the Booty fortune, then that 200-300 gp worth of goods is all yours. Sound fair?[/OOC]</blockquote>
