Market Bazaar
May 2nd 1066
Orgoth finds a leatherworker, a small shop selling bags, boots and boiled armours. He takes the spear and can produce a holster type hood but he will fish around for a few engravers to commission the etching. You can collect it the next day completed. (-3gp)
As for a town council. A weekly small council of the senior patriarchs and merchants meets, it would be chaired by Lord Krothos, his advisor Ollis, the Vicar Othar, miller Hendon and a couple of others.
Helix village.
Re: Helix village.
Orgoth
"We have a deal." He doesn't leave the spear.
Orgoth will go to see the Miller. Once there he drops off 7gp, "This is my donation in the name of Crom to the village's needs. If you need help with anything when I am in the village just let me know. I am not good for much other then laborer work but better then nothing I suppose."
10gp deducted

Re: Helix village.
The Old Mill
Orgoth donates to the community purse, (+7 xp), the funds going towards repairing a purpose built public latrine and washroom. Cromm would approve. Hendon the miller receives the gift and gives you a receipt to keep the donation transparent for any official auditors sake.
If there are any suitable jobs he will let you know, advising you to consider a bulletin board notices so villagers needing plumbing, roofing, construction can get in touch.
taken from the tribute topic.If a PC is in town on a festival day, he or she may donate any amount of cash (and cash only) to assist in the celebrations. That PC immediately gains XP equal to the number of gold pieces donated, and of course the appreciation of the community.

Re: Helix village.
Sven tries to remain calm after hearing the torc is worth more than the total in coins he made for the entire expedition.Spearmint wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 12:22 am The Rosy Quartz Jewellery and Money Lenders

The proprietor takes out a monocle and magnifying glass to examine the two trinkets recovered from the zombies encountered in the moor.
"The torc, solid silver braids melded and twisted together, the elasticity is still okay to slip it around your neck. Hand design rather than heads. Maybe custom made for a thief rather than a chief. Worth more in the city than here, if you want to sell I would offer 60gold.
The ring, hmmm, aah, yes let's see, loose in the fold and the gold is just nine carat. Old mine cut not the royal cushion facets, characterised by a large culet here see and deep pavilion there, low crown mark." he hums a few critiques, rather like a man buying a wagon going around kicking the wheels and complaining he prefers the 10-spoke model. Still the shock on your face as he coughs a little and whispers the amount. (pm sent)
He nearly chokes when he hears the value of the ring. “Well……ah……ok……ummm……really?”
“I guess opals are my new favorite gemstone then.”
He wipes away the sweat developing on his upper lip. “Do you rent safe space here?”

"Thanks I will consider that." He wanders about the village, looking for the boards.

The extra-Rosy Quartz Jewellery and Money Lenders.
"We do have a safety deposit scheme. In the vault I have a few secure boxes. You pay a monthly retainer on insurance which covers fire, theft and damage though the more high end items would be shipped to the Aerik Duchy Bank in Ironguard. My, that place is a wonder. I hear theft proof. All sorts of arcane and physical bio-securities, curses and guardians."

“What would it cost me to leave this ring here for a month?”
Re: Helix village.
The Rosy Quartz Jewellery
"Let me see now Master Jolly. I can offer storage at a weekly holding fee of 1% of the appraised value. To be redeemed no later than three months.
Pearls? Horace, we got any pearls about?". A gnome artisan working on some intricate trinkets goes to the backstairs cellar to check.
"No imports recently. Got some cultured ones from the clam slitters. Couple of nice teardrop shaped ones, probably from the mussels
in the Moorwash silt. Pale skyblue one with speckles of white. Milkwhite one with a black spot, nah that looks like a rotten core. Another milk white one, rolls true, nice sheen. Some freshwater oyster ones, small. Ain't had enough nacre to cover the irritant. You looking for variety or value?"
After some inspections, a pearl worthy of spell use is found, 105gp.

Re: Helix village.
"You do have a nice selection, don't you? I will take the best one there for 105 gold and I will ponder your fair offer on the safety box for now."
"If you don't mind, can you set this one aside and hold it for me momentarily? I will return with the coin in a short while. And if you find any more like this one, please set them aside for me as well. I might be a regular buyer of these spell grade beauties."
In absence of a private thread, I will send another PM about this shortly.

Re: Helix village.
The Axe and Anvil
Sven departs the jewelers and walks to the blacksmith next, smiling from ear to ear. He lays an armful of chainmail out on the counter.
"Hello there, master craftsman. I was wondering if you could make the proper necessary adjustments to this suit of armor I found. It is man sized, but needs to be altered to my smaller stature for a better fit, you see."
"Also, do you have any light weight grappling hooks for sale here?"

The Axe and Anvil
Karl Barrelgut
"New chainmail, hot off the anvil, I can do, made to measure in a couple of days. 80gp. Tightest links and looser round the crotch so you don't keep rubbing your danglies. Refurbished I can do after Mayday, new buckles, reinforced seams. Fresh coat of sheen and clean the blood off. 20gp.
Ropes and grapnels I can fix you up. 50'ft of hemp and single hook 8sp, double pronghorn on silk 1 gold.
Sounds like you setting off somewhere."

Re: Helix village.
Sven looks around at the other items in the shop.
"I like to go out exploring the moors and the mounds. I found a wagon stuck in a stinking bog out there recently and the mule pulling it was half submerged and quite dead. I thought that if I had some rope and a hook, I might be able to pull myself out somehow if I ever get stuck so I don't have to suffer the same fate."
"I will take the lighter rope, please." Sven pulls out a gold coin and puts it on the counter.
"How long have you been here in Helix, if you don't mind me asking?"

Re: Helix village.
Orgoth
Orgoth heads out to wander the village and ask about any newcomers that anyone has seen today. He will focus on asking children when possible. "Have you seen anyone new today? Maybe someone you haven't seen before? Could you point them in my direction please? If you can bring them to me yourself perhaps I will have something for you." He will give them each a cp.
Chr check (10) [3d6]=13
He will then check the roads into town and see if he runs into anyone.

Re: Helix village.
The Axe and Anvil Forge.
Sven goes to the forge. The main smith is Karl Barrelgut, he has a few apprentices who craft various tools, shoe horses, hammer out new blades, especially broadswords which arm the Duchy militia.
The forge is also the focus of dwarven worship to Moradin, one of the Angarach or gods of the old ways. Because dwarven clerics have a covenant tie to their forge, they rarely venture outside their region of influence. Hence dwarven clerics, while permissable in terms of class are never characters.
Asked about how long he has been here he answers, "Several years. I herald from clans past the Moon Peaks. Took over here to serve the community. Fanning the embers of faith as much as bellowing the forge works.
Many dwarves pass through and we try to make it a home for all."

Re: Helix village.
Helix village
Orgoth goes in search of new faces and budding explorers. He gets various responses, some children direct him to the 'man in mail' at the end of the field, which turns out to be a grinning scarecrow. His tour takes in the various cottage industries, a few scattered farms, the seedier tavern. You come to the conclusion that the adventuring types are enrolled via the mercenary guild or the tavern. The urchins agree to 'spread the word' of his recruitment.
In response to his bulletin board adverts, looking for work as a labourer, you are enrolled on the dry stone wall renewal gang which is repairing and fortifying sections of the village boundary. Each day's pay can keep you sufficiently in basic accommodation at the tavern.

Orgoth welcomes the work on the wall and thanks the children.
How many cp does he spend?
