LOST TRAILS OOC

[ewancummins]

So the governing people of this huge city (thus the guys that effect the average person's life the most) are hereditary. The Overmaster is for life and the councilors serve for 10 year terms.
Republic. Right. Shining exemplars of democracy that would make Pericles shy in shame.

Oh, you should have seen it in the old days!

Metagame note:

Seriously, though, IMC Sembians make no pretensions to their republic being a 'democracy.'
That's some sort of weird Chessentan notion, isn't it?

Sembia is in effect an elective monarchy with the constituent cities mostly being aristocratic republics.


In the published sources, it had been listed as either an autocracy or a plutocracy, but my timeline has advanced a century past 3E stuff and there are differences.
It's not only the merchants who vote, now.

If someone turns innocent toads to ladies?


How far can Chara go with 50 silver pieces? Is it enough for 10-15 days? I want to give her enough money for them to get by for 10-15 days if needed or to buy a few nice things if everything turns up OK.
And has anyone told us that the week here is 10 days?

And, yeah, that money should be quite helpful.

Turning toads into ladies is possible! Not considered evil. Just...odd.

Raen will go to the Uni.
How much the carriage ride cost?

Raen will go to the Uni.
How much the carriage ride cost?

As little as a cooper piece per passenger, per ride.
But how many trips/stops does he plan to make?

Is he just looking for a trip to the University?
Or does he want to visit multiple places and have the driver wait for him at each stop while he looks around?

[alhoon]

What I meant is that he is planning to visit the University with Benn when he sees the sage.
About sight-seeing... how much would a "tourist guide" ask for to ride with Raen and tell him about the main sights and places as they pass them? He is looking for a respectable looking man or woman (perhaps a widow? Perhaps a friendly person?) for a couple of hours. Offering to buy them a meal or something as a thank you, but money would do too if they ask.

Klokulf would want to be present for communicating with the sage. Aside from a copper for a carriage ride to the university, how much does he have to pay for a room at the boarding house? He will also pay for Alwina's room, I assume.

1 gold piece (10 silvers) will cover lodgings, bathwater, food and drink for him for a day.

Since he's missed breakfast, drop that down to 7 sp.

Ditto for Alwina.
7x2= 14 sp.

Or 1 gp and 4 sp.

If he doubles up on the room, now, he can save money.
H'ed save 5 sp per day, doing that.


Mothe Falchett might not object. Or maybe she would?
Who knows what the local customs are regarding strange girls rooming with CHR 18 foreign priests?

Alwina presumably wouldn't object. She tries to stay near Klokulf much of the time.

Well, if Mother Falchett doesn't have a problem with a strange girl rooming with a foreign priest six years short of twice her age (Klokulf is 30), I am not averse to saving money on lodgings and food.
If she does have a problem with it, my diplomacy modifier is +8.

That makes a DC10

If the old lady has a problem, Klokulf's winning smile is enough to convince her to let it go.

I am absolutely sure that in a metropolis, a priest or a married rich merchant etc sharing an inn room practically unanimously with a younger girl is a shocking event that they have never ever heard of. /sarcasm.

My first 19 in like a month and it is about gather information... I guess Raen managed to snatch a student of local history and architecture in his day off...

Just that!

He falls in with a talkative young draughtsman who has been employed in several projects of urban renovation.
The fellow's name is Kendrick.

Mother Falchett is a matronly type who likes to keep her place in good order with no common harlots or rakes hanging about.

Of course, that handsome, charming, well-spoken Klokulf is obviously a gentleman.

And his coin looks as good as any paying customer's.
