Re: (INC) Bellows of War- Crafting Thread Part II
Kamyol blinked in confusion and just sort of reflexively started sweeping the floor. He glanced over at Xerex and flashed him an 'I have no idea what's happening' look, and then glanced back at Ricard and tried to gauge what was going on. Sense motive: (1d20+10)[16]

Xerex shrugged and shook his head back at Kamyol, equally confused at Ricard's behavior, "Are you needing help or something, sir?" he asked, trying the direct approach.

Re: (INC) Bellows of War- Crafting Thread Part II
Kamyol chuckled sheepishly. "I think it's just old habits," he said. He propped the broom against the counter and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Ricard, if we're pretty settled on our arrangements here, there's... one more thing I feel I have to tell you before we go. After the mess with the demon was taken care of, we got around to sorting things from Kamoru's earlier salvage mission. And, well, we found some rather unsettling things that could have broader implications for our family, or just... others like us." Kamyol took a deep breath.
"We found Holy Human Crusade uniforms hidden in barrels of magical reagents. They came from a farm where there was evidence of some kind of black market dealings involved with the herbs. I don't want to think about what they were doing, producing and stockpiling high quantities of reagents like that. Whatever it is, it can't be good, and we probably need to be even more vigilant, until we can figure out what's going on."Spoiler: Aurora

"So there are no traders or merchants that deals solely in the selling magical components or ingredients?"

Sai frowned a little.
"Ebon would be the one to speak to. It looks like we are finished here, Ill take you to him, I know he could answer your questions."
As Nihisk Finishes up, she takes him to the merchant district to look for Ebon so he can explain things to the Ratfolk.Festival of Heroes:

Nihisk follows Sai closely, appearing to look like a tourist absorbing all the sights. While walking to their location he speaks to her.
"What do you do with in this vast city? With your skills something important I suspect."

Re: (INC) Bellows of War- Crafting Thread Part II
Ricard grunts. "Nothing to worry about. Human Crusade is always funding trouble somewhere, always gathering resources. I try to keep an ear out for them, and there's nothing special going on right now. You'd be better off focusing your attention on keeping people alive." Ricard stops cleaning. "I'd better get to work selling this stuff. You had best be on your way. I'll tell Jonyun you were here. Have a good one!" Ricard opens the door for Kamyol and Xerex.

Kamyol pursed his lips and looked unconvinced, but he walked out with the professor. Once they were outside and a short distance away, Kamyol sighed and raked his fingers through his hair.
"Well, that didn't go badly, though some of it I wish had gone differently. I forget, did you want to tag along to speak to the military nobles or no? Bartleby said he wanted to go, so I'll need to see if I can find him and head that way," he said.Last edited by Wolfykins; 2017-05-25 at 08:08 AM.

Re: (INC) Bellows of War- Crafting Thread Part II
Sai and Nihisk travel to the eastern half of the Market District. Along the northern edge is a blacksmith's shop. Its sign is a forgehammer with a sun shining behind it. They enter to see a muscular human man with black hair working a forge behind the counter. As they enter, there is a chirping sound. The man says, "I'll be done in just a minute! What can I do for you?"

Ebon Corley continues hammering, but shouts over the noise, "Well that was gonna happen! Can't say as I blame them. If you need a place to sell your things, I've got one! I was gonna rent the space out to Ebon Nebula, but, well, he's not gonna need it the way he is right now. I ask for 10% of your profits as rent! Not your sales, mind, but your profits! How does that strike you?"

Re: (INC) Bellows of War- Crafting Thread Part II
Sai hears a loud, firm voice say, "HOLD ON!!!" Sai and Nihisk hear a hissing sound, and hot steam begins jumping up to the ceiling. There is a clank of metal on metal as he places his project on the anvil. The muscular human turns around and wipes his brow, then wipes it on his leather apron. He walks up to the counter. Ebon Corley blinks slightly as he looks at Nihisk. "Thought you were Skrolk there for a minute, but no, you look different. Ebon Corley, Radiant Priest of Pelor...and you are?"
After introductions are finished, he answers Sai's question. "You ever been a merchant? It's like this- you've got a sword, right? And you paid a platinum to have it made, let's say. Those are your costs. If you sell it for that much, you broke even. If you sell it for more, anything above a platinum is profit! You keep a book, see, and it has all your costs and profits and rent and things in it, cause Goldenrod likes to take their share as well. But if you're using my stall, I cover you there. That's why I just ask for a share of the profits. It's not a very large space, but you get a chunk of the counter to put whatever merchandise is yours over there. Don't even have to run it yourself, if you don't have a mind to. Just means you'll have to trust my word, and my ability to sell your things, if you don't watch it yourself!"
Ebon watches Sai's reaction closely. "Does that make sense? Did I go too fast?" the human says amicably.Festival of Heroes: Aurix Kornari- 6' Human with golden scales on his skin, blond hair, green Draconic eyes, carrying a halberd, meets people with a warm smile.

Re: (INC) Bellows of War- Crafting Thread Part II
Ebon goes, "Humm. Well, that's up to your conscience, I suppose, but it's also up to your customers. Price is a delicate balancing act. The standard markup is double what you paid to make it. That gives you enough to make another one. This is generally called 'market price'. The actual selling price can go up or down. That's a complicated subject. It's basically this- how high do you want to- or think you can get away with?- raising the price without driving away your customers? That depends on things like how much they know or like you, how much competition there is, and heck, what the weather's like any given day!" The priest shakes his head. "I'm sorry I can't be much more specific. There are people who spend their whole lives dealing with this particular subject, and I'm more blacksmith than merchant. But hopefully that gives you an idea." He glances at the second counter to his left. "The space is there, if you agree to my price. Up to you. You're welcome!" Ebon Corley smiles at the woman.

Re: (INC) Bellows of War- Crafting Thread Part II
Sai ponders for a moment. Then nods, as if agreeing with herself. She sets her belongings in the place Ebon Pointed to. She gave a deep bow to Ebon.
"Honorable Priest. I would be most thankful if you could sell my items at 110% of market Cost. I will have more things to see in the near future. Let your customers know if they have requests, I am taking commissions, with a preference for bulk crafting. Such as they potions and Brooches"Festival of Heroes:

Re: (INC) Bellows of War- Crafting Thread Part II
Ebon nods. "If you could leave me a list of what's what and how much it's for sale for, and/or make signs for customers, that would be very helpful. I'll let people know otherwise. So 10% over market price, now taking commissions for potions and brooches. Got it!" Ebon does a half-salute, half-wave of acknowledgment. "If you wanna come in after hours and decorate or arrange things, that'll probably help too. The nicer things look, the more likely customers will buy from you."

Sai raises her hands up in defense.
"No No no... not just potions and brooches. Rings, Weapons, Armors, Potions, any knicknacks desired... "
She nods and quickly writes down the specifications of the Brooches, and the potions so Ebon will know how much to sell them for, and what their properties are.Festival of Heroes:

Nihisk, like his distant smaller cousins, finds a shadow to silently watch and observe. The slight twitch of his ears his only movement as he takes mental notes of the exchange of the two and seeing how bartering is done within this city. As his ears focus on the conversation his eyes scan the forge/store. Taking in what he seems to be working on, what is for sale, and what isn't for sale.

Nihisk gives a small smiles and walks calmly from the shadows. He moves towards the weapons looking them over with awe.
"Master Blacksmith you are an artist with metal. It is easy to see why Madam Sai brought Nihisk here. Though Nihisk was wondering if you dealt with a more specialized weapon? Nihisk is always looking to advance his weapon of choice."
He walks closer to Sai and pulls his traveling cloak to the side showing a pistol.
