Resolution of Canis’s Actions in Midmark, After Session 108
Antony Nicklin:
1. See Chuq’s post for dealings with Starchy.
2. Canis finds an open air bazaar in the Low Market district, near Talessin’s old tower, where a trapper named Justina Prikhors sells animal parts like bones. Canis can purchase enough bones for dog armor (90GP) and/or enough to augment human-sized leather armor (150GP) to make it equivalent to studded leather. You might wish to have the magic leather from Xen’Khel repaired instead, though (see Thorfus’s post).
3. Also in Low Market, Canis will find a half-elf leather worker named Gerolt Burdon who will create those bone reinforced armors (100GP and two days for the dog barding; 200GP and four days for the bone studded human leather).
4. Just down Copper Street from the Cock & Bull Canis will find the general store of Hendry and Hadwissa Wright who have a fancy backpack available for 400GP.
5. Between Tylic Eraclid (weapon smith), Orsebet Yorston (elven armorer), and Hendry Wright in the neighborhood of the Cock & Bull, Canis would be able to find buyers for all the mundane goods. Given the good name of the party in this area, they will offer 2000GP for all the normal chain mail, small shields, long bows, long swords, and short swords recovered in Vargen.
6. In the same Low Market bazaar as the trapper, Canis can purchase a guard dog from any of a number of merchants for 35GP; he also finds an animal handler there named Imblen Eikmeier who has an untrained jaguar cub for 350GP. Bone and armor for these would be the same cost & time as for Starchy.
7. Chickens in cages will be 1SP each and a pigeon 5CP; Hawks are 50GP for large and 25GP for small.
8. Keep in mind that you will need food for each animal or at least a couple of hours per day for hunting. Feed for most animals is 1SP/day (10SP/day for the jaguar, though).
1) Starchy can be passed over if he’s going for retirement (though he’s only been with the party maybe 6 months?) xD
2) Canis will buy the 150GP’s worth of bones, just so he has has the extra.
3) Canis will make note of the leatherworker and hold off momentarily, to allow the potential repaired armour to come to fruit. Will wait to hear off of Thorfus, Chuq and Edan about that.
4) Will hold off for now.
5) Taking the 2000GP, Canis will subtract what he needs (589GP, 9SP, 10CP), and give the rest to the Starchy Boyz, with an IOU for 200GP.
6 & 7) Canis purchases a dog, the cub, a chicken and two pigeons. (385GP, 1SP, 10CP) During the week, he will spend time utilising magic to train and speak to the animals. Dog as a guard/combat support, pigeons to scout/report and deliver messages, and the jaguar to just generally respect him and follow commands.
8) And also a week of food for each. (98SP)
Finklemur’s elderly nature rubbed off on Starchy — he just wants a comfy bed and warm fire.
John Carlson, XP shares for the weapon sale?
Each PC earns 400XP for the sale of the weapons.
Not too bad, Ronan. Take some gems in payment, get slammed in the back by living ink then take a ride through the negative plane just to earn a fifth of what’s needed to advance to second level!
