The Four Lands - The Colony

Pandak

Pandak's down to 34k Silver - I'm torn between investing the rest in NCD and keeping a little aside. In either case there's very little left.

[sblock=Pandak]If the company isn't interested in the spirits operation, Alvar will be willing to invest in a joint venture. I might even be able to find a market for some of our product. I suggest we hire a couple of brew-masters and secure a couple of tons of equipment. A small operation shouldn't require too much to get started.[/sblock]

[sblock=Alvar]Pandak welcome's Alvar into a partnership in the distillery/brewery business. JA quoted me 20k for a 'small' brewery/distillery - we could up that to 25k for equipment and see what he'll charge us for a master brewer and a master distiller?[/sblock]

[sblock=Pandak]I too am beginning run short of funds, but I can swing my share of the brewery. You want a controlling stake of say 15000 to my 10000 and we'll split the cost of the brewers?[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Alvar will be happy to provide some cranes to the company in exchange for more silver shares. I'm still waiting on a price from the DM.

As to the household goods--I was thinking pretty basic stuff to start. Mostly survival level stuff like warm blankets, food preparation and essential hygiene needs. A simple table and chairs, some sort of beds that's about it. We'll likely be in some sort of communal living and food preparation setting for most people in the first few months anyway, so individual stuff could be pretty basic.

[sblock=Alvar]Sounds good.[/sblock]

[sblock=JA]What will a Master Brewer and a Master Distiller run us, O Kind and Benevolent GM?[/sblock]

Shopping

Mowgli
[sblock]After much searching in the city you find a set of twin brothers...one is a master brewer and the other a master distiller, they are named James and John. You find out that while exceptionally talented they have been dismissed from many companies as they tend to get a little wild in their experimentation on brews. Having said that..their skills are impeccable but more important they have a natural talent for their jobs. They ask for 5k silver up front with a hesitant expression and 50sp a month plust a percentatge of the profits.[/sblock]

Alvar
[sblock]The cranes will cost you 2.5 k silver each. They are made from well seasoned oak reinforced with steel bands. They are rigged so they can be used singly or in pairs. Each is capable of lifiting 2.5 tons with a safety factor of 1/3 built in. The man can also sell you a pair of heavy cranes for 7.5 k silver each....These are true dock/cargo cranes and can also be used as a pair or singley. Each can lift 10 tons of cargo with a safety factor of 1/3.[/sblock]

Household goods
The cost to equip a basic houshold for a family of 5 is 200sp per family.
A bachelor household will run you 50sp per person..
Make your caluclations on how many you need and you have your price.

Hennett will be more than happy to arrange for a consultation with the local druids for advice regarding this matter, and, hopefully, to smooth things over with them. Hennett will be actively trying to get on their good side, so that we have at least some allies among the local populace.

Having spent the day about their various tasks the party reassebles that eveing for dinner. Promptly at 7:00pm Viscount Archer enters the dining rooom "good good" he says "I am glad everyone made it back safely. I trust that your shopping and prepartions went well" He then moves to take a seat and begins to help himself to various portions of the food laid upon the table.

[sblock=ooc] Thank you for noting the purchases, J.A. Does the fact that you didn't mention the price for the last bullet point mean that we get them for free?
As for the foreign druids, Hennet and me will discuss the matter with them.
Also, for 30.000sp we get the basic household tools for 750 people. they may not be families, but the company encourages multiple people in the same house [/sblock]

Ederin sits down and replies that everything went fine. He is happy to see that matters are proceeding, and proceeding well. His mind, however, is still busy in calculations and plans, and he wonders when the duke of Sunbridge will pop up.
