I'm having a large amount of trouble working out how to create capital for the future. Any help would be appreciated.
i'm trying but not sure how to do the rolls and how to work ut the effect of influence, labour etc if I chose to go for them instead?
Hey all, I'll have limited posting ability for the next 4 days, when I can it'll be phone only.
Sakaan is watching the ship in his own subtle way and Osik is keeping watch for any subterfuge in getting slaves to the pier.
Sakaan realising what he had done... he says in a low voice hopefully audible only to those very close "Korrin you saw and heard nothing now sscoot, Ssorry my friend, luckily we are here and not in public" Now a bit louder "Yes I think the captain will find talking with you very interesting my Chelaxian friend"
Luckily for Korrin Sakaan has spotted his conference whilst doing his rounds and ge strides over "Hello Namelesss... you musst be here to confer with the captain, well I'll esscort you over to the sship and you can sseek the Captains attention" Sakaan indicates the direction to go and walks to the ship
Seems ok to me atm persist a bit more...can't be easy working out the dynamics of this group to progress the story.
"Of coursse it would be my pleassure.."
"It doess not appear that we have anything to go on at the moment. . I will continue my dutiess and advisse ass I can" Sakaan walks back to his office to get a status report on the maintenance of the ship
"None at all Captain"
Sakaan is standing still observing the interactions and looking for an opportunity to guide the interactions.
Sakaan waves in return "Goodbye Fisst"
"Yess it iss ussually a very quiet pier but your fame has brought sseveral partiess here that wissh to catch your attention Captain, I wass attempting to determine if their pressence here would be a valid usse of your time"
"I would not be suprised if I did at that,I shall have to compare with Osik, that knowledge may come in very useful actually, thankyou"
"Illegal sslaver? What iss illegal about the captainss operation pleasse Fist?"
"Jusst to be an alternate voice, maybe Maricelli painted thiss sship while it wass under a different captain and purposse, I have taken ssome of your classses and found them profoundly usseful, not something Maricelli would have found in sslavess"
"Ssuch a sscandal a sslave merchant at my pier. ..why would he come here.. especially with my and my peoples hisstory with sslaverss. I musst attempt to handle thiss correctly."
Sakaan looks at Turanerra a little strangely "Mysself and Ossik run the Lizard Pier, it iss ours, that iss why we are here, but out here observing the goingss on iss becausse there are many people traipssing around our dock" "Any information you have on the sship, it'ss masster or cargo would be welcome though"
"Yess you sshall and then we sshall have wordss"
Sakaan approaches the ship and calls out from the pier "I wissh to sspeak with the firsst mate"
"Captain Veddig Gorn iss not here currently but hiss firsst mate iss.. I'm ssure he'll answer any questionss" With that Sakaan steps aside and then walks to the pier himself and shows his companions the ship.
Sakaan and his company come striding down to the pier "Ahhh good Korrin looking after thingss I ssee, how can we at the Lizard Pier help you? Sakaan is looking at Amara and Esha when he says this but doesn't seem to recognise them.
On bis way back to the pier Sakaan casts mage armour on himself and uses his extend rod as well.
I've setup an alias for the foreman of the lizard pier. . Should I post with him in game or just use Sakaan and ooc for any interactions?
"The captain iss not pressent at the moment only his firsst mate which may be advantageouss to uss as he will be more ssussceptible to influence. I have Osik to protect me if it'ss more than I can handle. I sshall head back now pleasse make hasste before the captain returnss." Sakaan gives a short bow and sweeps out of the room with Osik in tow making his way back to the Lizard pier at pace.
"Yess that is correct, but we have no accesss to the sship ass it iss forbidden, but sseeing as they may have live cargo ssome ssubterfuge iss called for."
"Well thankyou, the bussinesss and my people are thriving, you remember my friend and aid Ossik. Sakaan motions to Osik, Osik bows to Sirith. "I see you have company. .. Namelesss, Essha it is good to ssee you both, I can come back later if you wissh, but I have a sship at my dockss called The Broken Bough under a captain Veddig Gorn. You all are excellent purveyorss of information and I wissh for information on this sship and it's captain"
As they are wandering through the streets making their way to the city centre, Osik is always on the lookout for potential threats. "No I sshall not revere your Ssmiad, the Empyreal Lord is the pitilesss Dragonsslayer and it would not be appropriate to my racial coussinss for me to pay tribute to him. I do resspect his goalss of defeating opponentss no matter how difficult though." Sakaan puts his hand out to forestall Osiks next words, he looks at the Temple before him "I think we may be here, The Heart of the Ocean'ss Passsion if I remember correctly, Ssirithss temple, the beautiful watery themess in the artwork givess it away, lets enter and se what we can find" Sakaan and Osik enter the temple giving a small obeisance to the image of Calistria
"I bow to your wissdom friend, yess I musst force myself out, letss go find what we can then, maybe one of the Templess of Calisstria?" Sakaan heads into the city central with Osik in tow.
"Ossik go find information on thiss sship and it'ss captain pleasse, I sshall sstay here and "Clean" the sship, we don't want any ssuprissess"
Namelesss you could alwayss climb up on my workshop roof for a great view of the port.
I like it..
I wanted to make a slight change to the Lizard Pier anyway but it's there... i'll change some things to make them easier for you to find. The Lizard Pier: Dock (15) Earnings gp, Goods, Influence, or Labor +12 Create 7 Goods, 2 Influence, 6 Labor Size 10–30 squares Office (+6/21)
2*Storage (+12/33)
Artisan's Workshop (+18/51)
Bunks (+18/69)
Craftspeople (+9/78)
I'll have my work cut out for me in ssome wayss but I have no objectionss
Do we need another martial type to cover that asspect or sshall we manage.?
I am sstuttering with antici-pation
Or it sseemss not ssorry *wink wink*
Josephus Fynch + Benjen Grachs:
Sakaan would have used Josephus to find good stolen from a client of his on several occasions and as a source of information on how safe it is to do business with the various types. Sakaan in return would be able to provide information on goings on in the docks. Osik makes for an excellent investigator, interrogator and he can cast healing and restoration. Turanerra Kalidoksis and Kvallen Marnev:
Sakaan would be checking this place out for artwork that may take his fancy, Sakaan if acceptable to you would have enrolled in an artwork class, as appreciation of artwork is important to civilised society
and Sakaan needs to know what it is all about. Amara Ishu and Esha Meshva:
There are no real dealings between the two unless Amara initiates it. Sakaan has been subtly (Like a brick) studying Amara, as she is a more powerful caster and there is something about her that he can't figure out, she's an enigma and it bugs him. If Sakaan is observed or noticed he Osik for his part does not like them, he is very perceptive and a keen study of motivations and intentions. They play way too many games for his liking and he can't figure out Amara's secret and he doesn't like that either. Dolgrin Girndmar and Lithandra Lilandria: Sakaan is fond of sending business Dolgrins way, he is sure of the services offered and they are the complete package forging and enchanting as necessary. Sakaan tries to use Dolgrin for any ship parts that are needed as well and even tries to get Lithandra to enchant ship items as his customers sometimes want an extra edge for their ships (prows, sails, tillers and magical bolts etc.) Sakaan will wait if Dolgrins shop is not available and reluctantly goes elsewhere, sure good service is worth the wait. Sakaan has made it a bit of a game to go himself to the shop and make
requests to Dolgrin, trying to use his vast diplomatic skills to get the Dwarf talking in the hopes of future increased business dealings.
Sakaan has been in place at the docks operating thr lizard pier for about a year now. He has also done several adventurer jobs as another possible avenue for contact. Sakaan goes out of his way to make friends and he is very diplomatic.
Sirith and Prakar:
Sakaan and his people having had their own brush with slavery, would sympathise with Siriths goals and because of this likemindedness would go out of their way to utilise her their services. Maybe hiring Sirith for her water manipulation powers (cargo overboard or retrieval, difficult boat repairs) and just being their to listen to her perform (if she does so in her Temple). The Services that Sirith offers would be very tempting to Sakaans people even his Liardfolk who are very appreciative of music, baths and massage. Yes Sakaan would definately be up for providing a safe haven for slaves in his warehouse before getting the former slaves aboard a ship docked at his pier, it would be a chance for him to do good amongst a sea of compromises he has had to make lately. The Nameless Librarian and Fist, of Absalom: Fist would probably only be an incidental contact due to Sakaan pursuing the Nameless Librarian as a person to talk to on the docks. Sakaans people would probably do a brisk trade at the shop selling stuff they find but also to get information for Sakaan about the goings on in the docks
"Ssakaans posst got eaten... only Sakaan doess the eating."
Thankyou for the opportunity Ssakaan is very happy for hiss people..
Besssst of luck to all
Player Tharasiph
Aye i've been jumping around thinking of and making Sakaan all week, so many ideas, so interesting to get it all together.
May I present Sakaan the owner of "The Lizard Pier" ship docking, supplying, repair service and portage. Sorcerer extra-ordinaire and paragon of the community. His faithful human companion
Tis still a little rough around the edges and needs work which I shall be doing today.
