General chatter

[Anastasia]

I'm ignoring languages you can learn from someone on the farm, such as elven or sylvan.

Dwarven, kobold, draconic, halfling. More exotic languages would require knowing of them and doing some asking around. Most kobolds know kobold and a smattering of common and draconic. The kobold John brought up today speaks kobold and dwarven fluently, draconic almost fluently and fragmented common.

[Nephrite]

Then, if possible, I would like to learn Kobold, Draconic and Dwarven for the time being. Will I need to re-allocate skill points to do so, or do I need to wait for the next level?

[Anastasia]

Y'all are at home and at rest, so some retraining is possible. However, you can't learn that fast, so you'd need some IC downtime.

Keep it in mind for the next time the party has some time to pass.

[Nephrite]

Sure, no problem.

Before and during planting season John will likely spend quality time with Missy-Anne. Or Em in an ideal world.

[Nephrite]

Now would be a great time to start on Gildas' language studies, if that's possible.

He's also going to cast http://dndtools.eu/spells/players-handbook-v35--6/plant-growth--2852/ to cover the Holstet's farmland, if the energy from the green stones doesn't already convey this particular spell onto the area.

He would also be interested in purchasing some gemstones from the kobolds while they're cheap.

EDIT: He would also like to start researching who Ardaman of Bluespire is.

EDIT2: As an addendum to Ardaman, he would also like to actually start collecting knowledge and books to have a repository right there at home so they don't have to keep running off to other places to get information.

Myann's todo list:

Mushroom things. She has some various things she wants to try. This is largely off screen and leaves her available if needed. She'd also like to sit down and talk to Feather about a few things IC.

Duly noted, we'll cover that Monday.

Doable. As long as Cor doesn't propose something that requires going off (since he hasn't posted yet), assume you can do this and rejigger the skill points appropriately.

Okay. We'll need to do this IC, probably Monday or Tuesday pending other scenes.

> [19:23] <@Kotono> "Oh, those go-getters are still at it?" The Shaman asks, slamming the butt of his staff on the ground, "Speaking of trade," he says, "Rumor has it that the iron mines of the Steelhead clan had too many holy explosions and is down. I know that iron is trading at about 150% of its normal value. Raw precious metals are down to 50% right now, though it isn't impacting skillfully made jewelry and
> [19:23] <@Kotono> decorations. The demand for salt's also much higher, it's selling for 200% of normal value."

This is what's high/low right now. In other words, iron's trading at a 50% markup, while precious metals are 50% down. Salt's also at double normal value. It doesn't mention gemstones being up or down, so you can assume that trend has passed.

Sure. As noted when it came up in here, start with a K:A or K:D check. If you lack those, you can ask someone who does have ranks in those skills to see if they know anything. As for books, talking about the friendly neighborhood trading kobolds is a good start there, though you could certainly look further afield if you like.

[Nephrite]

Ah, I got gems confused with precious metals. Either way, he's interested in buying some while it's cheap!

As for the other, I think Feather is the only one of us who does.

[Anastasia]

Okay. Do you have any preference on metals? How much money do you have to invest into this?

[Nephrite]

2038 gold, assuming that the kobold payments go to the farm's upkeep rather than the heroes, and that we have not sold anything to the kobolds yet.

[Anastasia]

Okay, you get the following.

Gold ore, nuggets, dust and other unrefined gold: 1238 gold
Silver nuggets, ore and other unrefined silver: 500 gold
Platinum, mithral and other small bits of rare metals: 300 gold

Due to the weight of the metals involved, you'd need to keep these at home. Traveling with them handy isn't viable. Go ahead and add them to your sheet.

[Corwin]

I want a short scene. Do we know anyone who can make jewelry? Kobolds are fine.

She'd also like to sit down and talk to Feather about a few things IC.

Sure.

Trading-wise, I don't think we have iron or salt in any real quantities? A shame.

[Anastasia]

Re: Iron and salt.

Yeah, you don't have much handy. What the farm does have is essential and not for sale.

There's a kobold jeweler you can catch up to, sure.

[Nephrite]

Should I assume the value of those items to simply be double what I paid for it, or would having someone appraise it all to get a clearer idea of the value be a good investment of time?

If so, if Myann would be so kind. :)
