The Warehouse
Arriving at the warehouse just a little after 6:00am, Angelo sees that the wareshouse is slowly coming to life with stevedores already shifting merchandise from ships and wagons.
A door is located on the right hand side of the building with a sign painted saying "OFFICE - Lou's Warehousing"

Tetsu
Tetsu will open the box and examine the contents. I'll likely be able to convince a fair number of people to move here even without monetary incentive. I'l keep my eyes open for anyone of decent character looking for an out of the way location to set up a homestead.
"I think this should make us a fine start! I'll look at the tower remains and pick one that seems suitable. We should also be able to find some hardy fighter types old enough to be ready to settle, but young enough to suit admirably as a 'police force' for our little township."
For GM Only:
[sblock]Todd, I'm thinking of starting a mercenary company. Starting very small, and staying very specialized -- light skirmishers and scouts. Adherence to a strong code is a must, and I don't want anyone who particularly enjoys fighting. I'm planning to promote the philosophy that mercenaries are the best choice for fighting wars, because we can do it better than anyone else and with less needless loss of life. As the mercs get older, they can settle here and start a township and winter quarters. The 'retired' mercs and teach the younger/new recruits, and as they marry and start families we can also replinish our numbers from our children. The town will need to build a reputation for a trade item as well -- I'm thinking horses, since they'll be a must for a company of the type I envision. I'd eventually like to start my own breed - light warhorse size, but bred for both speed and stamina, sure footed for mountain trails, and with an intelligence more akin to that of a dog than a horse: far more trainable than most horses would be. To that end, I'll be taking some skill points in Knowledge skills related to horses/breeding/etc.

Stepping into the office which measures about 50x50 feet and has several glassed off offices and meeting rooms within it. A twenty somthing young man is sitting at a desk looking over a journal entry while several other young men, bewteen 15 and 18 are working in the warehous proper. Seeing Angelo and his party enter the young man gets up ans says "How may i help you"

Tetsu - Lunch with Etta
Opening the box, Tetsu is startled to discover that it contains 20 flawless rubies that have yet to be cut and an additionaly 10 flawless emeralds also in their natural state. Each stone (uncut weight) is perhaps 2.25 to 2.5 carats. Care to roll an appraise?
For Tetsu Only [sblock]The use of mercanary companies is quite common throught the fourlands especially withing the human community. Nobles often find it cheaper in the long run to hire them as needed rather than to keep a large amount of armed retainers on a year around basis with all the expenses that entails.
Horses would be proably a good chocie, but will be tough to get established here due to it's location withing the mountains. Having said that, the mountain pass and the valley that at one time was protected by the towers would be most suitable for livestock, providing enought winter feed was availabe and some shelter consturcted to keep them out of the most bitter of storms.
Roughly guessing, Tetsu would say that at one time, the towers would have house upwards to 3000 people within it's walls.[/sblock]

Tetsu - The Gems
For Tetsu only
[sblock]He is not for sure but Tetsu thinks these gems, given their almost idential size and their identical coloration would be worth roughly 500gp each, and perhaps even more if sold to a jewler for a special necklace or matching set of jewler[/sblock]

Angelo - The warehouse
Taking the offered recepits, the young man looks at them. "HMMMMMMMMMMMMM, a couple of these are kinda old, they may have been moved from their original location or even have been sold if the storage fees were not paid on time.......but these, holding three receipts should be easy to get as they are on the lower floor and are recent deliveries. Where do you wish for me to load the goods"
