Isles_DM: You wake up in the morning, lying in your room in Taly's bar. You have quite a headache from all the sake you drank last night.
Slayzer: hangover... what fun...
Isles_DM: What do you feel like doing this morning?
Slayzer: getting up would be good... yes..
Slayzer: I guess I should go see the execution...
Isles_DM: Ok... so you head down to the Mayor's house

Vinisleg: "My employer could use a man like you"
Slayzer: Adn who might your employer be?
Vinisleg: "Senator Lerkov Vlakozha of the city of Finnara on the Isle of Linya"
Vinisleg: "He's retired from the Senate but still has a variety of business interests"
Slayzer: Hmm I see...
Slayzer: What kind of work do you have in mind?
Vinisleg: "He wishes to retain your services for whatever he needs. Anything from bodyguard work to escort services to retrieving items"
Slayzer: Hmmm seems like a full-time position
Slayzer: How far away does Senator Lerkov Vlakozha live?
Vinisleg: "Not necessarily; the Senator is very flexible."
Vinisleg: "Just the next island over. He can arrange transport."
Slayzer: Hmm .. and how long do i have to accept this offer?
Slayzer: I would like to see if this village needs my assistance any further before I leave
Vinisleg: "The offer remains open as long as you need to decide. Should you decline, the Senator will allow you to change your mind at any time."
Slayzer: Ahh I see

Faing: "Argor was a bandit that Fedor converted to worship of god. Those who struggle against tyranny venerate him."
Faing: "Taris was a druid of the forest who Fedor converted. He watches over those who were converted from the druidic faith."
Slayzer: Hmm
Faing: "Ailov was the Sori every Sori wants to be: Huge, strong, an immensely capable woodsman, soldier and leader. He kept Fedor alive when he was exiled to the wilds of Kadiya. He has the widest following of all the saints."
Slayzer: *ponders*
Faing: "Mikhail was a crazy barbarian who tried to free Fedor when he was captured by Emperor Anto IV. He is followed by soldiers and warriors."
Faing: "Ventars was an assassin who tried to kill the Emperor after he ordered Fedor's death. He is worshipped by assassins and those who desire revenge."
Slayzer: that leaves one more
Faing: "Navinolan was a thief... pure and simple. He tricked Fedor into making him a saint. He watches over thieves and tricksters."
Slayzer: Hah I see
Slayzer: Right well... let's return then

Mayor_Ivanija: "Who is the prophet of your god?"
Slayzer: The Prophet of our god?
Slayzer: Hmmm that would be He who Walk's in Righteousness

Mayor_Ivanija: It's about two days march west from here.
Slayzer: Let me put it this way.. how many ships have you seen?

Slayzer: I am looking for a shipwright
Slayzer: if there is one
Slayzer: hah
Isles_DM: Nope... the best you find is a fisherman who's willing to rent out his rowboat.
Slayzer: Hmmm can he take it to Garkanii?
*** Isles_DM is now known as Fisherman
Fisherman: "Sure, that wouldn't be a problem. 'Course, it wouldn't be much faster than the road."
Slayzer: I will need it later.... I will be back in 2 days
Slayzer: I may need the boat for an extended period I am not sure
Slayzer: what is your rate?
Fisherman: "No problem, stranger."
Fisherman: ".1 yen per day."
Slayzer: (how much would that be today? haha)
Slayzer: Alright I will be back then
Slayzer: Fare you well *nods and the leaves*
Slayzer: Let's head from Lunkiba
Fisherman: (Well, let's see... a good sword today costs about $1,000 and in YB! it's 2 yen. So 1 yen = $500, and .1 yen = $50 per day)
Slayzer: (I was joking about japanese yen

)
Fisherman: Faing: "Lead on, sir."
Fisherman: (Probably about 1.2 billion)
Slayzer: *leads them to the next stop*
