A Mountain Knight and ten musketeers are sent to talk.

We believe you sell guns, yes? says a young translator musketeer

[BRC]

Corvan nodded and looked to the shaggy wererat, who looked up at the wereshark and nodded in assent to the agreement. Corvan turned to the Steelflame wererat and spoke.

"This sounds like a good deal to us. However, we should make it clear that we will be checking all goods that come through our nation, whether it is from you, or anyone else, and we will supply some of our own security forces. Its a matter of security and I'm sure you'll understand"

DuBerry smiles. "Of course, to demand otherwise would be unreasonable. Was there any other business you wished to attend to, if not I have a matter I wish to discuss."

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Captain Corvan looked over his shoulder and then back at the wererat.

"Well, we brought trade goods of many kinds, we were hoping we could sell some of our goods here, if thats ok with you."

"Well, we brought trade goods of many kinds, we were hoping we could sell some of our goods here, if thats ok with you."

"Of course. I'll have the Appraisers sent down to the docks to inspect your goods and offer you a price."

[Lord_Asmodeus]

The Captain nodded and returned to his ship.

[Nerd-o-rama]

A small Seniholmn merchant force happens upon the immiet war, splitting up and entreating both sides for sales.

A captain of the Royal Army and a small guard retinue arrives, under a white flag so as not to be shot at by the trolls at this juncture. After an appraising look at the other side, he asks the merchant if he's got any mining equipment.

[Innis Cabal]

The trade envoy's bow to their respective representatives, holding forth a large scroll.

We are the Seniholmn mechant's guild

@Nerd-O-Rama: We do in fact sell mining equipment, and weapons, and bio-energy. We have noticed you are also at war, would you desire anything else for trade?

@Alex-We do sell weapons yes, concussion rifles, and other technological advancements few nations of this land have seen. But we ask for equal trade. What would you offer us?

[alexeduardo]

(just so you know, we are now in a cave with the king and ten musketeeers)
(do not question my logic)

hmm...we are good warriors translates the young soldier
We can offer our services to your king, a troll is a hard to kill creature, Unless you fight against enemies made out entirely out of fire, there's nothing that can stop us

[Nerd-o-rama]

"And some pressurised water cannons, if you have those."

[Innis Cabal]

The merchant envoy makes a tssking sound, shaking his head.

"We do not fight, my dear...smelly friend. We are merchants. Though envoies with our trade ships and parties would be most apperciated. We shall have weapons fitted for your size and...physical power within a week for transport. If this please's you, we ask that you agree to a full term mercenary contract with the Seniholmn Nation."

Edit:@Nerd-O-Rama: "We do not have pressurized...water cannons, but we can begin offer you powerful air compression cannons."

[alexeduardo]

The merchant envoy makes a tssking sound, shaking his head.

"We do not fight, my dear...smelly friend. We are merchants. Though envoies with our trade ships and parties would be most apperciated. We shall have weapons fitted for your size and...physical power within a week for transport. If this please's you, we ask that you agree to a full term mercenary contract with the Seniholmn Nation."

yes, rifles will be good

he takes a few seconds to find words

Also, mechanical bears and mechanical horses were used in battle against us, whatdo you want in exchange for those?

[Nerd-o-rama]

The captain hefts his rifle. "Already got our order of those for the year, but never mind. Our battle's pretty well over for the moment, and we should be looking at future strategy. Anything in the nature of force projection over a wilderness area? Some king of weapon you can use to hit a big area and still be able to move around without well-built roads? Something like our Steam Rams, maybe, but better for rough terrain?"

[Innis Cabal]

@Alex- We do not require payment for items we do not wish to trade for, your guns will be shipped to us within the week, please take this time to study our wears. Please prepare your tribes for full withdrawl.

@Nerd-O-Rama: The envoy clasps his hands, grinning wide

"We do in fact have something that very well might work. While they are not employed on the land for us, it is for the exact reason you desire. They are called Twilight Shields. They function in ways the tech of the mainland can not comprehend. We shall exchange 10 units and three crews to fix them should they break down. What will you offer in exchange.

[alexeduardo]

DFYRITUGOA!

um, the king is displeased



but he understands you need time to learn to trust us.





he has sent runners to every squad



is there a, um, a...rondevoo were we will meet? or will we meet back here?

[Innis Cabal]

The merchants snicker.

"You move with us, we move to other cities, to other profits!" You of course will be armed with the large number of rifles we hold with us now

*The merchant indicates several large crates"

"We would hardly not supply our esteemed consumers."

[Nerd-o-rama]

"Hmm...well, a big deal like this'd probably be at a national level, but we've got a few neat tricks. You all have guns that can throw lightning over there?"

[alexeduardo]

The merchants snicker.

were would we go first?, we are at war with the humans, so north is not a feasible option

[Innis Cabal]

"Hmm...well, a big deal like this'd probably be at a national level, but we've got a few neat tricks. You all have guns that can throw lightning over there?"

The merchant perks a brow

"Guns that can fire lightning? No, we do not have such...devices. We shall trade 5 of the generators for a reasonable number. The other 5 once we have spoken with your leaders."

@Alex: We march where we please. Nations do not hold us out of their boarders. If they have cause to be upset, we simply will explain the situation. Once we have regrouped with the other forces, we shall split up once more and go into the nations in the proximity.

[Nerd-o-rama]

"Hey, you guys started it. By the way, if they sign on with Seniholm, we're probably still going to engage in reprisals against their homeland. Is that cool, Mr. Seniholm rep?"

[Innis Cabal]

"Do as you wish, we have no concern's over the going ons with the nations of the mainland. So long as you do not kill every last one of them, we are more then alright."

[alexeduardo]

the king believes this to be a safe trade, though the process of uniting and convincing all the clans will take us long. maybe until orangeleaf time, were shall we meet then?


oh, and he also wants to know if you can provide with 4500 rifles?

[Innis Cabal]

"You may take all the rifles we posses here in the cave. You must be aware that you will be reciving damages from the nation you were just at war with as is fair trade in any conflict. But the appointed time is alright, we shall meet here then."

Belluaper, Romano Imperiat
A fleet of Airships arrive in the city bearing the Steelflame Industries Insignia. All but one Cloudcarg are obviously millitary, they all stay back. the Cloudcarg approaches the city under a diplomatic flag and a well-dressed Wererat steps out and approaches the city with a small security detail. At the walls he introduces himself to the Guards as Giles DuBerry, Ambassador from Steelfire Industries, and very politelly asks who he should speak to about opening an embassy in the city and, on an unrelated note, who he should talk to about answering the Call-To-Arms against air pirates.
Seaspray, Whatever the Lizardfolk Kingdom is called.
A Small Flotilla of rather large ships approaches the Lizardfolk city of Seaspray. It consists of two Sharktooth Class Destroyers and two Leatherback Class cargo ships. The Destroyers stay back but the Cargo ships dock, one of them opens it's big doors revealing what appears to be a cargo hold converted into a massive store. A small airship flies overhead and drops fliers all over the city, they read
"Steelfire Industries is Here! Come to our Floating Showroom at the Docks to
purchase a wide variety of goods. Consumer goods you know and need, plus Technological Marvels from the Island of Llya."

At the same time a Well-dressed Kobold disembarks from the second ship, and is escorted by a security detail to the nearest seat of government where he asks, very politely, to speak to whomever is in charge, on account that he has a wide variety of goods aboard his ship that may interest a government.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

The Wererat is informed that he can seek an audiance with the Romanis, and that he will be informed when the Romanis is free to see him. An hour or so later, the Wererat is led to a large throne room, where a massive, graying brown furred Werebear, a scarred veteran, and in every sense of the word, a bear of a man, sits on a huge Imperial Throne.

The Wererat is informed that he can seek an audiance with the Romanis, and that he will be informed when the Romanis is free to see him. An hour or so later, the Wererat is led to a large throne room, where a massive, graying brown furred Werebear, a scarred veteran, and in every sense of the word, a bear of a man, sits on a huge Imperial Throne.

The Wererat enters the throne room accompanied by a single Hobgoblin security trooper (Who surrenders his weapons of course). Close examination would reveal what appears to be a three-linked chain sewn into his uniform collar, a set of wings is sewn into the other side.

The Wererat Bows "Greetings Romanis, and thank you for granting me an audience. I am Giles DuBerry, the Board of Directors has assigned me the post of Ambassador to your great nation from Steelflame Industries. I came here hoping to establish a permanent embassy in this great city in order to facilitate trade between our two nations. On another note" Ambassador DuBerry gestures to the Hobgoblin "This is Air-Marshal Rocklid, here to aid you in securing your borders against air pirates. He is in command of the strike force currently hovering a ways outside the city."

[Lord_Asmodeus]

The Romanis looks over the Wererat, and thinks for a moment, before opening up in a deep, booming, basso voice, a voice clearly used to giving commands and handing out edicts.

"An embassy would be an excellent idea. I believe we would both benefit greatly from such, and the trade it would bring, both for you and for us." He turns to the Hobgoblin "As for the Call-to-Arms, the large floating city from which many of the pirates have been spotted coming from has been seen heading more to the north. This no doubt is a response to the failure of their recent raids, after additional troops were mobilized, and militias raised, they found our farmlands and villages not so easy a target. However this poses a problem, for now they are headed to the Imperiats new ally, the Schwerzen. Also, a number of reports of Air-pirates gathering around a city to the east have been filtering in. What this means is a mystery to me. Now, we have only a few airships over our entire Empire, and they are smaller, older models, most captured years ago from less organized bands of air pirates, but we will send them with you, they will be crewed with Avian weres for the most part"

([OOC] I hope I don't seem to know too much OOC knowledge.)

((You start, BRC))

((Who does Zlick-Zlick meet with? The Lord general or the High Council or the Secretary of Well-Dressed Kobolds. who?))

[Innis Cabal]

For Ascenion

The Merchant hails the airship, requesting a docking method so they may board, and show off their wares.
