No problem, thanks. I believe that NCD and Academy will cooperate closely so no problem there. And ship from academy will use protection of caravans of your fleet and occasional cargo vessel may be under protection of Academy warship.

Interesting concept, Academy with warship in ownership

[sblock=Scotley]
Would you like part of your investment in library to be transferred to partial ownership of two ships?

Alvar

[sblock=Neurotic]Sure whatever you prefer.[/sblock]


"Yes, in spite of the storm last night I slept quite well. Given that you have called us to such an early meeting, might it be fair to surmise that your own night was more eventful?"

"The night indeed has proven most intersting" the spokesman says "It has come to our attention that our enemies may have gotten wind of what we are planning but not yet as to the scope or date...so we are going to accelerate the schedule...you will sail in two weeks..almost three full months before your original departure date. This however will put you crossing the seas during winter...and you will now arrive in Janurary instead of March..."

Ederin cocks his head to one side and replies: Our enemies have indeed gotten news of our departure. As a matter of fact, my divinations revealed that the D'shai emperor knows about it, but as I said that yesterday to the viscount, and he didn't react, I assume that you already knew this. So, are we speaking about other enemies, or the viscount wasn't paying attention?

Anyway, as far as I am concerned, we have no problems in sailing during the winter, as long as the captains don't freak out, hearing this proposal. We may need to buy some additional supplies, just to be sure, but that is no problem.

Suddenly he makes a dreaming smile "I have never seen snow above the ocean"

OOC: Neurotic has never answered my post#419 (repeated at post#460). It seems the academy will be independent of the Company, even without a reply from Neurotic....

[sblock=Randal' investments]
academy supplies = 20k silver pennies
very good library = 100k sp from Alvar + 50k sp
magic components for bards, spellthief and clerics 30k sp
Investment into NCD = 100k sp
Warship and library ship = 75k sp (as investment in NCD)
Nobility chart = 50k sp
--------------------------------------------------------
Total: 325 000 sp leaving about 30 000 sp for personal use
Total investment in NCD = 100 000 + 75 000 for total control of one warship and one cargo vessel

Personal (to be added later):
scroll of water breathing and scroll of water walking = 7500
bribes and information gathering = waiting for DM

OOC: Neurotic-Are you attributing Alton's 100k investment in the Academy to Alvar?

 

[Scotley]

Alvar

OOC: Alvar made an investment in the school too, albeit at considerably less than 100k.

"I should think an additional investment in cold weather clothing, fuel and early season crops such as cabbages would be in order."

Academy investments

I'm sorry, Lou, I guess I got confused by names (Alton/Alvar) and long intervals without reading posts.
I remember Scotley invested so I attributed 100 000 to him. I'll change the post so it says Alton has invested in academy.

Would you like to split your investment in something other then books? Like partial ship ownership or spell components? And you can say we bought sorcerer spell components too...

Scotley, how much did Alvar invest? And in what? Ships, books, spell components or academy in general (giving me control of investments), we will need to discuss ownership and 'High Council' of Academy. I'll put up something before the end of the week so we can hammer it out.

"So you will be ready in two weeks time then" the spokeman asks...

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Alvar wanted to invest 10,000 and would be putting it in the Academy in general though he would be interested in serving on whatever board or council is established and might also serve as a regular 'guest lecturer' if given a chance.

"I will be ready in two weeks." Alton smiles. "When will the formal papers be ready?"

OOC: If the Academy is to own the ship and all, then let's make the Academy ownership part of the whole and not piecemeal.
