As the season of Doldrum is 47 days into its 60 day run, for once, there is a blessed breeze. The temperature is still very hot.[/gm][ooc]Blather:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Charisma (Collegiate Task) +</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mind + Knowledge + Persona +</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Commercial + Mercantile</li> </ul>This active task applies to any attempt to convince another of the speaker's opinion. It also applies to haggling for favorable commerce, whether buying, selling, or trading. This task only applies to spoken intercourse.Opposing Tasks: SkepticismSheldon: 38(Charisma) + 38(Blather) + 70(d100) = 146Tor: 34(Charisma) + 36(Blather) + 72(d100) = 142Merin: 48(Charisma) + 37(Blather) + 87(d100) = 172Indigo: 34(Charisma) + 38(Blather) + 70(d100) = 142Sannit: 31(Charisma) + 39(Blather) + 81(d100) = 151Bolo: 39(Charisma) + 37(Blather) + 81(d100) = 157Saemund: 34(Charisma) + 38(Blather) + 85(d100) = 157Vadin: 26(Charisma) + 38(Blather) + 96(d100) + 23(luck) = 183[/ooc]Trading Silk:Sheldon, Sannit, and Merin negotiate with the weaver for the silk. While 3 bags seems like a lot to carry with such a small group, it unfortunately does not translate to very much cloth. The 3 bags of Yellow Silk will translate to 3 bolts of cloth of 100% coverage each. Yellow Silk is favored among the soldiers of Boga City as woven material for flexible armor because it has a greater deflective strength than Ansylin or especially Eastabin silk. After favorable negotiation, the party receives 562 ocrin.[ooc]As a reminder, the silk belongs to Southroad Fair and the Seekers agreed to a 20% commission; therefor, 450 ocrin (same value as a clam) needs to be returned.[/ooc]Trading Cattle:Indigo, Bolo, and Vadin negotiate with the butcher for the value of the 4 cows. The price is determined for the value of the meat and for the value of the hides. After favorable negotiation and a bit of luck on the party of Vadin, the party receives 7,712 ocrin.Trading Iron:Tor and Saemund negotiate with the metallurgist for the value of iron in the 8 mining mauls, 8 spikes, and 40 bricks of raw ore. The total mass is considered at 52 bricks. After favorable negotiations, the party receives 1,554 ocrin.Completing Trade:All Seekers speak Centrin well enough to facilitate their own trade without the need of Thomas, the clerk, to translate. At the completion of each negotiation, Thomas gives the party a voucher signed by the trader for the value of the negotiated coin. The vouchers are exchanged just inside the gate by way of a small window and pass slot from a manned, stone vault. The party physically receives 100 Plates, 200 Dublins, 80 Rupees, and 28 Ocrin. The coins are equally divided among the party for ease of carry, safety, and convenience while within the city.</blockquote>
