We can only bless them and hope for the best, as well as prepare enough food supplies to keep us alive for one year if worst happens. Do you need any financial support on something?[sblock=JA]Your fault, you are getting me fired on this, so prepare for a long post. I had 15000 gp leftover, witch convert to  375.000sp, plus 2500gp from the deposit, so another 250.000sp minus 10.000 as upfront for the title loan, and another 20.000 for a baronet title. Thus, at the end I have 595.000sp and debts for 90.000 sp. Let's say that for now, I am keeping 195.000sp as personal reserves (minus 15.000sp for the mercenaries, thus 180.000sp), and I am willing to invest 400.000sp in the Nascent Company for Development. Given the leverage of 2.4:1 that they are providing, it would allow me a credit line of 960.000sp. It would be useless to take those money if I can't exploit them, so:The major point is: do I have access to any amount of workers that I wish to recruit? Meaning, if I were to buy 3-4 ships, would I be able to fill them with workers? I realize that there are many people who would do it (poor paesants and such), but it could prove difficult to gather them in 3 days. However, I would try to make recruit as many as possible, and given that number, decide the needed investments. (see the communet: I ask a question about it)The following day I cast a commune, asking the following questions:1)  Is the D'shai Emperor aware of our plans to build a colony in his ancestral land?2)   (if no: Is any other D'shai powerful person aware of our plans to build a colony in       their ancestral lands?)      (if yes: Has he already taken steps to stop us?)3)   (if 2-no gets yes, then repeat the question 2-yes referring to them)4)  Is there going to be any problem in using teleportation magic between this continent and the ancient D'shai continent?5)  Are there any secret plans made by one or more of the five founding nations regarding the new colony that could be harmful to me, my companions or the Nascent Company?6) Regarding the events of today, is the responsible a member of the Church?7) Is he a member of the city's governement?8) Is he a member of a powerful merchant family?9) Is he a noble?10) Have I ever heard of him?11) Is it possible for me to recruit more than 150 workers willing to undertake a travel in the next two days?I will phrase the remaining 1/2 questions after I hear your answers. For the day, I prepare 2 scrying, 1 greater command, 2 divinations and 2 commune (one already gone) instead of some of my usual spells.Also, do I get an answer from Sunbridge? [/sblock]</blockquote>
