Will she get taxed on the amount of money that she has or the amount of money that she is carrying because she could well have banked some of it?

Also how will they know, have they wizards to check?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #6376 on:** April 29, 2013, 02:42:59 PM »

Just on the amount she's carrying. And yes, they have a wizard at each gate to check!

Klaus, you should add 20 GC. I've been carrying around the reward slip that Ragni and I went to go get. You can just assume I gave it back to you at breakfast. Been using the money to make bets

Finlay · « **Reply #6378 on:** April 29, 2013, 03:33:26 PM »

would mortus know about the tax beforehand?

also, I posted in the thread but it didnt do it for some reason! darn

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #6379 on:** April 29, 2013, 03:35:56 PM »

I think the Taxes were recently passed right? Mortus has been behind in the timeline a little, so maybe by the time she gets to Carroburg, she would start hearing rumors of the tax?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #6380 on:** April 29, 2013, 03:39:32 PM »

She probably won't know about it until she gets there. I was just suggesting to commandant that he work out how much money she is actually carrying.

Oh no! What did you post?

Finlay · « **Reply #6381 on:** April 29, 2013, 03:50:40 PM »

I was just facetiously suggesting that if mortus banked all her money before getting to Middenheim, it would reek a little of "using player not character information", which of course commandante never does.

To be fair though, she has banked money in the past.

No but Mortus banks her money as a general rule, she is paranoid. I will work it out after training.

Secret Agent Admund Auerswalder!

Probably more like undercover cop. I don't have the required seduction skill!

Depending on how much Mortus thinks that the travel will cost [taking into account that she has spent 1000 crowns up until now] I think it is likely that she will have 1000 crowns in coinage and the rest in bank notes. If she thinks travel will be more than that she could have 1500 crowns in coinage but no more than that.

The bank notes will be from the merchant house of Basanduine. I think that, as she is pretending to be a low level trading representative of the house of Basanduine it is likely that her personal wealth would be low but that she can draw on the house's wealth for trading.

The money levied from Mortus will certainly pay for all the damage our party will inflict on the city

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #6386 on:** April 29, 2013, 11:46:54 PM »

So how much does Mortus have on her when she actually arrives in Middenheim?

Is she still paying guards every day? Servants?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #6387 on:** April 30, 2013, 08:29:25 AM »

Does anyone want to do anything before Julian's challenge fight?

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #6388 on:** April 30, 2013, 08:36:14 AM »

Off to the smithy, then stop near the ale festival to talk to a brewer and have a keg shipped to Yorri, before going to the square to watch Julian fight.

When the party finally meets Mortus, I'm going to be just a clueless as Admund about who she is and what she's been up too.

She is still paying the servants, but not the guards.

She has 1000 crown - the cost to the coach and servants for the time it took to get to Middenhiem

Oh, I see. Tricky estimate! I've worked the cost out as 175 crowns.

Can be done later in the day if you prefer!

What does Windhund haulage do? Are they like delivery people? I'm trying to ship a keg of ale to Yorri, don't know if that would involve them.

Finlay · « **Reply #6393 on:** April 30, 2013, 02:02:46 PM »

they're probably a front for the cult, we dont know what they do.

i think

They transport goods into and out of the city, on wagons and mules. This puts them in competition with the city's two coaching firms (Castle Rock and Wolf Runner) who also transport goods. As you learned at the Komission, both firms have complained about Windhund, suspecting them of dodgy business. You also learned about a local phamacist who complained about them, then withdrew the complaint.

Those facts are possible leads for investigation! They are listed in the info post in the character sheet thread.

But they don't move individual kegs around the city!

commandant · « **Reply #6395 on:** April 30, 2013, 04:38:27 PM »

Also you gave the day for Mortus but what day are the others on?

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #6396 on:** April 30, 2013, 05:35:19 PM »

Have you guys told Klaus about those complaints? I think we should check those two firms and the pharmacist out first...they might even offer a reward should we find out something fishy

money money money.

Ah got it. That's what I was looking for. Thought the kegs would be an excuse to go into the office and get a look around. We'll find another way

Klaus, you were present in the Tax Offices and heard about the complaints against Windhund there.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #6398 on:** April 30, 2013, 06:31:16 PM »

I was....seems like AGES ago!

So Klaus will be off to the other firms talking to them before the Championing duell of Julian during which Klaus will cheer him on and drink several toasts of him....oh Rufus before I forget I mentioned that Klaus would offer some sacrifice in form of 10 gold coins at one of Ranalds hidden shrines before he went to bed last evening...I think I stated it during the day is that okish?=

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #6399 on:** April 30, 2013, 06:45:16 PM »

Klaus is quite the busy fellow!
