T'was another fine peaceful day in Agronar, birds chirping, and the people going about their business in the bustling castle town.
There was to be a great celebration for peace between the fairer races and the more shall we say "evil" races at the castle. There was food, wine, and merriment abound and all were gay with may until one thing led to another and a fight broke out. Turn's out a group of assassins had killed the good King and assaulted his family, which the lesser races seized this chance and took over the land and a terrible king.
Every male heir to the king was thought to have to have met their end on a blade. However by a tiny, small stroke of chance, a heir did survive although a bastard would be the people's only hope to unite the warring people's into a kingdom of his own right, or maybe some other fate awaits him?
Who was he?
>A Hedge Knight: Arion may have grown up without a father figure but the knights of the realm proved to be a suitable lifestyle to strive for.
>Clergyman: Brother Lucius grew up serving the lost and Ill, never knowing his origin but was content serving his faith and those less fortunate.
>Outlaw: Robert spent his days on the wrong end of the law stealing rich and poor alike, he knew how to care for himself.
>Merchant: Graham was a shrewd businessman and made a pretty coin doing so. He knew the currency trade better than most, so he was always coming out with a profit.

Ah yes, Graham you sly fox of the Lowland's. From the salty Sea coast's to her Off shore islands and marshy wetland's. You made your dealings with the poor and less fortunate Folk from kobold's to orcs and ratfolk along races of such a caliber.
You were a young man in his early twenties and managed to work your way into the Merchant caste of society. You currently have made your first permanent hold in...?
>Ironscale Isle

The Bronze Coast, a fine place if you don't mind the dirt. This had been your home from the get go and you wouldn't have it any other way. Everyone generally tried to work together and we did alright under the thumb of the Ironscale Isles. You enjoyed life with Shana, although an "escort" she gave you and your half brother Rex a better life than most.
After you took off on your own you learned to be a Merchant and made sure she would never do another thing such as that again. Your moved to the Midlands to become somebody important or something, probably a politician or maybe the clergy you didn't know or cared much.
You were going to another town to do some business with Torba of Greenwood and you mustn't delay. You had your servant Marsa help you dress and eat as you bade mother goodbye. Maybe you should bring someone along...
>Shana
Your Human Ex-prostitute Mother.
>Marsa
Your Drow Assistant
>>45339601
I couldnt bare anything happening to mom.
So Marsa it is.
>>45339601

>>45339644

You and Marsa head out into the city Street and climb up onto the wagon as you whip the reins as the pull horses Clop and Clip through the earth down the road. Marsa shifts nervously in place, probably nervous due to being the first week she's been on the job. Hopefully she'll be more helpful than a hindrance.

"Hey, you okay Mar"? You inquire of the dark skinned elf, who turns away nervously. "Sorry but I'm okay Mr.Daventry. It's just Drow never really got opportunities like this usually".
Drow were kinda on the lower caste in society and they rarely if ever get the chance to improve their quality of life so this was quite literally the opportunity of a lifetime for her. You give a pat on the back reassuringly.
" You'll do fine, just let me do the talking. Just stand there, look pretty, and make sure nobody jacks my stuff". She mutters an "Ok" and tries to hide under her hood.

"Hey Marsa take the reins for a second, I'm gonna make sure all the stuff is in order". She gives you an affirmative as you hand her the reins as she takes control. You doing to the side as you get to the back of the wagon.
Pulling the tarp you take stock of your goods, furs, unrefined Ore, and a few barrels of wine lay neatly arranged in the back. You smile at how finely arranged it is and move back to the front of the wagon resting back on the seat.

The wagon continued along the path as the seat bumps and rumbles alongside the the Forest. The forest alive with the chatter of the forest as you spy a woman cloaked in grey traveling alone down the path keeping her head on a swivel and eyeing you with suspicion.
"Hello Sir, would be so kind as to allow me passage with to the town, it would be safer to travel with other's"? The black haired stands there supporting herself on her staff, strange black tatoo across the right side of her face. Marsa doesn't object leaving it to be your call.

The wagon finally pulls into the town as you pull up into the spot beside your stall where your goods would be bought and sold by Trader and citizen alike. You have some free time on your hands so what to do?

You make your merry little way to the Trademasters Office, a few Fellow Merchant's milling about talking about trade or trade accessories.
You wait around yourself for almost an hour until finally you were called in take a contract of your choosing. You take your time to read through the things wanted by a few cities before deciding on Drambull as it had the most potential for profit.
>What contracts will you take? Carry Capacity 200

>>45341527
Do we get the Slave as part of our pay?
>>45341527
>>45341579
Do we have 200 total carry capacity, or 200 remaining carry capacity after accounting for the load we have in the wagon already?
>>45341527
Wine
Metals
Furs
Pottery
Spices
Salt
Food
Let's go to the worrior's guild or something to hire an escort too
>>45341527
I suggest taking a supply of weapons and wine. That way we can use the weapons to defend the wine if it comes to that.
>>45341607
>>45341609
Slave is included in pay.
200 total.
>>45341579
>>45341639
I'd suggest not to carry weapons as it will atract all manner of rioting band interested in making an uprising in this troubled times
>>45341641
In that case, how much capacity do we have after accounting for our current load?
It might be smarter to come back when we're getting ready to roll our way out of town, when we know how much we'll be leaving with out of what we brought with us.
>>45341567
This sounds good to me
>>45341527
>Slave - 100
>Weapons - 50
>Wine - 50
>>45341621
If we wanted an escort we could just go back home:^)
>>45341681
We don't need to unload at all m8 we just take the fur metal and wine contracts (the good we have) and ship them to the contract town
>>45341699
Great Idea anon, Let's transport slaves and weapons on the same cart, that can't backfire at all!
>>45341727
Just to clarify, this is not a support vote in any way or form. This could be considered an unvote if such a thing existed actually
>>45341706
Good point. Assuming that we can fulfill the contract at a profit out of our own stock...
>>45341567
>-Furs 20, Low Risk, Low Pay

>>45341567
Perhaps this, weapons and food?
>>45341681
>>45341567
You were transporting the current stuff and unloaded it at the current city.
You take the Wine, Pottery, Spices, Salt, and Metals contract and sign off on it while Marsa heads off to get the goods needed. You give a nod and take your leave from the building back into the bustling town filled with life.

Before we go trying to grab more gold, we need to secure what we have. I wanted to vote to go to the Guild Hall, butit costs money to get guards. Going to the temple to ask for protection from the gods is free, and there's a chance that they might be listening and feeling charitable to the bastard son of the dead king carrying on the lost lineage of the throne.

You head over to the Guild Hall to get some extra muscle for at least short term and hopefully long term for the Convoy.
Entering the fine establishment you see individuals of different calibers and Mercenary Companies milling about, sparring and crossing blade, and conversing together in both camaraderie and rivalry. You do head over to the desk clerk and grab a list of Hiree's to enlist for you.

The clerk heads back once more and a orange little Kobold comes forth giving you a salute, "Sassa Sandstone at your service sir. Thanks for taking me along". You send Sassa with another Archer along back to the convoy.
You stop by the trade office viewing stuff and equipment to improve the convoy. You even head to the back of the building and to a dark shady alley with a suspicious looking Orc as you whisper the password into his ear.

You see that the goods were all loaded and D Jon hopped on the back while Marsa took the reins as you climbed aboard, "Hey boss, I see the new guy Jon will joining us. He's seems like a nice guy overall". She remarked as she bade the horses to start trotting forward to their next destination.
With some time to yourself, you began to think about the future and what you truly wanted to pursue the most right now...
