Surraruthru's endless quest for treasure (Surraruthru, Jaela)

[Yuthirin]

"What? But...b-but...do you not like me either?" Calleigh gives Surraruthru the Big Sad Eyes. Just for a moment. 

Then she looks at Adrian, all sunny smiles again. "I can repeat that if you like!"

[Anastasia]

"Please," Adrian says, "But with less run ons and more breathing."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I fear the chaos you would inflict on my lair and hoard."

[Yuthirin]

She turns back to Surraruthru, aghast, "I would never mess with a dragon's hoard! They're important!"

Calleigh turns back to Adrian, "Well, I can go slower. I suppose. For you, Adrian, since you're so pretty. So since we got Hamogan to join up, we now have a reliable way of obtaining items that will enhance our psionic abilities. And I need more wands. But we're broke! And we've gotten the feeling that most people here regard kicking in someone's door and or head and taking their stuff is a reliable source of income. That's not us, though. We've always profited by being in the shadows, and avoiding violence when possible. We're good at it, and explosions are pretty, but neither of us really like hurting people. Even if they're evil devil people. We will if we need to, but we don't like actively seeking it out. But we didn't know what to do! So we picked a person at random, who happened to be Drena. He's a nice guy. He told us that Sylvie and Tepen were conspiring about something, so we went to find them. They denied any conspiracy, but they are planning on creating some sort of hive mind with access to the Library. Dunno what that's about, but it's dangerous work. Anywho, Sylvie I think suggested some sort of slaad dungeon that Ithea's been involved with before. It sounds interesting, and we still might go, but Tryll had this idea to utilize the Aurora as a trading hub, since we have all of these idle people either just living or spending all the time whacking a training dummy with a sword until they pass out. He suggested a...merchant marine force. Sorta. Less marine, more heavily-armed merchants. They do interplanar trading when we're idle, and beat up bad guys when we're not. Sylvie and Tepen made it out to be a bad idea because we're an army and I don't think they can see the benefit of a steady source of income. We can though! Especially since so many people are out there right now 'treasure hunting' and risking their lives for money! They should be saving themselves up for big fights, not potentially dying to some mook that doesn't matter! Anyway, they didn't want to help and I think Sylvie thinks I'm dumb because she seemed pretty surprised when I knew what they were talking about with the hive mind thing. They told me to go show some of my art to Baleruk, but I'm pretty sure they just wanted us to go away. Which is fine. People do that. Not everyone likes us. We can...grate. We get it. But! We went to see Baleruk anyway and told him about Tryll's idea! He liked it so much that he gave us a ten thousand gold piece loan to get started in Brightwater! So now we're here, looking for goods to sell. There you go. Slower, with breathing and proper sentence structure. Sorta."

[Anastasia]

Adrian slowly exhales as he listens to it all. "Right, making a shop. Surraruthru's goods here would go fine in it."

[Yuthirin]

"Okay!"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Very well. We need to ensure the Phase Spiders get their cut, as well."

[Anastasia]

"What sort of numbers?" Adrian asks.

Up to you to parse out any nitty gritty with numbers. What sounds good?

[Iron Dragoon]

No idea. Never done crafting/sale stuff in D&D. What's fair?

[Anastasia]

Up to you. Honestly, so long as you throw out numbers and they aren't totally unfair, I'm fine with them.

[Iron Dragoon]

Uh, 10%?

[Anastasia]

Sure.

[Anastasia]

Anyway, numbers and stuff aside, what's next for both of you and this shop idea?

[Yuthirin]

I'll take all the silk stuff Iddy wants to give me. I'll also go ask around to others.

[Iron Dragoon]

I'm good with letting Yuth take the stuff. As for next, Sword of Myr, Grove, and Living Vault.
