I've got a feeling I perhaps didn't add some gold due... that might be me being greedy though!

I've got to pay an engineer 20 crowns, but when i did work in the first quest I only got paid that. Will I find business charging 30 crowns or something?

could I hire one engineer to oversee it, then a few less skilled dwarves?

I think you probably have all the money you are supposed to.

Oh dear. I haven't thought this through. I suppose you'd get engineering contracts of various sorts, which would pay some amount of gold. Then you'd pay the staff out of that. So you'd make a profit, hopefully.

You can definitely hire one engineer and then a team of less-skilled dwarfs who do the work under his direction.

I would think that dwarf work would be considered of High Quality and Expensive and therefore only available on public building and very rich peoples palaces.   Unless dwarfs are more common in the Empire in this version of WFB fluff.

I would expect you would submit a bill.   Is Julian not a Master Engineer (or at least was he not getting paid as a Master Engineer in the first quest) so paying 10 gold crowns a day for your normal dwarfs should be enough one would think.

Dwarfs aren't uncommon in The Empire, especially in the big cities. They tend to do a lot of civic construction work. A dwarf engineer should get paid 20 crowns a day, and dwarf workers 4 crowns.


Anyway: stick around for Sigmarite Christmas tomorrow, or head off towards Grissenwald today?

We need to buy a cargo so we will hang around for as long as that takes I suppose.   Personally Mortus would like to be on her way as swiftly as possible and she is not that interested in Sigmarite Christmas.

By the way, how much would it cost to get a Torc created from gold in the symbol of Sigmar (or another of the Gods), made from pure gold.

200 crowns or so?

OK. Well, the Arch-Lector won't want to get involved in provincial politics. But he might endorse a letter attesting to the good works Klaus has performed, which might help his case.

Letter of recommendation of the AL if nuln would be super. Other than that i guess we should look for trade goods Klaus will get some more fancy dresses and some properly mastercrafted breastplate like a pistolier he will wear on adventure mode or parade stuff...oh and get a selection of hats.. one very witchhunterry one

Julian wants to ask the AL for help in Kemperbad, but it seems a bit trifling.
If we had a sort of generic letter from the AL… he must be one of the most important people in the Empire.

Julian is up for sigchristmas, seeing as he’s blessed us twice.

A plain breastplate is 70 crowns (and you'll want a backplate too, probably, which is another 50). So a fancy one costs however much more than that you want to spend! Fancy clothes as before. It's just as well you have a boat to carry all this stuff on! Buying a house somewhere is always an option too.

The stuff you took from Schmidt's boat can be sold of course... let's assume that money vanishes into everyone's living expenses for the time you've been in Nuln.

Also, I expect Klaus had Schmidt's potions analysed? I'll put the results in the game thread. Etelka's perfume was just perfume.

I think he can do that for you. After all, you have achieved something fairly significant in the service of his church!


Heinrich will take the letter. He announces to the others that he intends to leave for Altdorf early, while the rest of the group head for Grunburg. He will seek out his old contacts, and visit his brother, Tomas, a lieutenant in the city watch.

Hmmm, how early does he plan to leave the others? When they turn off into the River Teufel? That would mean he'd have about 30 miles to walk, which isn't too far.

There's no particular need to go to Grunburg at all. I just saw a chance to use an unused episode from Death on the Reik!

So feel free to skip it.

I would like to add a simple breastplate & backplate, plate bracers, and a chain coif. Also a second axe. I want to hire the fastest method of transport from Nuln to Altdorf too.

breastplate 70 crowns
backplate 50 crowns
chain coif 25 crowns
plate bracers 60 crowns for the pair (but wearing these over mail sleeves results in -10 I)
axe = 7 crowns


As to travel: the distance from Nuln to Altdorf is 270 miles.

- the fastest method of travel is by horse, changing horses at coaching inns. But Heinrich can't ride a horse.

- by coach, the journey will take 10 days and cost 70 crowns.

- walking will take about as long as going by coach, but is rather more tiring and dangerous.

- the Faithful Hound can make the journey in about 7 days, depending on weather conditions. It's faster than other boats because of its steam engine.

Grand.   Also how long would it take? A few days.   Or would she need to put in the order and get it back when she comes back to Nuln?

Mortus will want to trade, therefore there is a need to go to Grunburg, more so if there is an adventure in it.

You can have put the order in a few days ago, so you can collect it before you leave Nuln.

Fine. I'm sure she has some reason for wanting it!


I was looking at the strictures for priests of Sigmar, and noticed this:

- never refuse aid to a dwarf.


I hope Julian doesn't find out about that!


Also, it says the most important Sigmarite holy text is called the Geistbuch. Ghost book? Weird.

Ha!

I already assumed you'd ask for it, so I posted about it in the thread.


Right, it's time to get going.

So, as you can probably tell by the fact that there's a map, the three feathers inn features in a mini-adventure. First published in White Dwarf 94, apparently, though I have it in the 'apocrypha now' book. Yes, White Dwarf used to print roleplay adventures!

I thought I'd better say in case you thought it was just an incidental visit to an inn.

Billy comes over and joins them at the table. He and Sammy shake hands and introduce themselves - as they do, each glances down at the other's feet to see whose are hairiest (the standard halfling method for determining status). It's pretty much a draw.


this made me laugh in the office.

Do you think double fireballing the attempted thief would be frowned up on?

Yes, since it would kill half the people in the room.
