Sure.

As for a name, we could use the Greyhawk name generator I downloaded. Most of the names it makes are pretty good. It's customizable by region/nation!

I rather have ewan give you what info is relavant . My character tries not stand out in a crowd unless it is absolutlly necessary. For what he is mostly investagator with a little bit magical punch thrown in(R2/WrMg1). But he only been in Rich. a 2-3 weeks. And Ewan I don't want a name that stand outs or is all that memorable if at all possible.

Skybolt's dude has a name, some background,etc. Ready to play.

Note: Adam- did you use wealth per level to equip Benn? You can now, if you didn't before. Magic items are acceptable, but they should have a backstory.

Right on! So, are we waiting for Adam to get back before we start the "down time" thread?

I'm back. Enjoyed the trip, ready to get going again.

In truth, Benn would like to search the ship more closely once Frauleine Sancerre is safely back with her father, or at least until he's sure she'll get there safely (IE she has an armed escort and is leaving the dock). The scene of the crime is fresh, and needs further investigation.

I figured you'd wanna do that.
Here's what you find:
Firts off, there's a paper laying on the desk in the little cabin. It appears to be an inventory-
Warehouse inventory [for the same building you all crossed through to get outside and fight the druagr]:
12 casks of gunpowder
20 bales of cotton
18 barrels of salt pork
6 bolts of yellow silk
1 barrel of printer's ink
14 ingots of pig iron
10 crates of dried tobacco leaves



other stuff [in the boat's cabin]

an ornate pocket watch [on a golden chain] about the size of a pear, in good working order

a small lockbox[ closed , locked, and a bit heavy- with some clatter and jingling when shaken]

a finely crafted magnifying glass of cut rock crystal, with a brass ring and cherry wood handle

a writing kit [papers, ink etc] in a leather satchel

an almanac, including high and low tides for the river Musarde and with a hand drawn map of the river's Richeumloise strecth tucked in the back

a set of silver letter openers in a velvet lined walnut box

two oil lanterns

flint , steel, and a tinderbox

-Elsewhere on the boat may be found ordinary boating tools and gear- a hatchet, some rope, etc. Nothing special. The cargo load lashed to the deck turns out to be food and water enough for several people to eat for a couple of days, and some changes of clothing for several men [nothing fancy about the clothes].

Questions?

If Benn wants to take any of the stuff he found on the boat, he can easily do so. The gendarmes aren't coming anytime soon.

I've advanced the timeline by two weeks. That gives all of you 14 days or so of do whatever-time. Benn can have done research as he likes. If you are creating some kind of agency or the like, you will have had time to set it up. Any stuff you wanted to do in the two weeks I skipped can be posted here, in the OOC thread.

If anyone wanted to invent a guest to the dinner party- he can certainly do so.
