Mining Expedition!

Post by TheRingBearer »

*The following parchment has been placed inside the Wayfarer.*

Mining Expedition!

It has recently come to my attention that a vein of rare high quality amethyst has been discovered north of the Vineyard in dangerous orc and ogre lands. These amethysts, I have discovered, are the solution to my own supply woes concerning my Gem Wards of the Second Circle that unfortunately and unnecessarily inflate its already expensive price even higher as those few who have brought one can surely attest to. Thus it is my... reluctant desire to travel there and have them mined. I hope that this advertisement will alert some strong and able guards and miners to assist me in this task. I do not know the way there myself, however I was able to enlist the assistance of hopefully both Keldorn and Caine to guide us there.

Due to the fact that I will be requesting ownership of every such amethyst and gemstone we find in this mine, I will offer to each of the following persons who assist me on this venture a complementary Gem Ward of the First Circle. There will also be an additional twenty-three crown bonus to those who sign up as a miner. We will split anything else we find evenly. If one is interested in obtaining an amethyst we find, please seek me out for additional negotiations. Please sign your name below and mark if you are coming as a miner or not.

Vincent of the Crimson Company.

_-=OOC=-_

"Recommended" PC level: >=6 (But I surpose there are always exceptions, but I've been warned that under 6 is likely too weak for this area.)
Minimize number of PCs: 4 (And 8 is the max, but 7 is a good limit too... Don't want to go broke paying all you guys...)
Estimated Time to completion: 4 hours (But who knows really :/)

Caine and/or Keldorn are Mandatory PCs for this trip. If both of them do not show up, then the trip will not happen... Because I have no idea where the mine is. In the event one of those two drop, their spot can be filled by someone else.
This is (so I've been told) dangerous Orc and Ogre Country, so beware...
Date/Time: I am looking at Friday the 6th at 7:30 pm EST (Because for once I get to inflect my EST time preference at the expense of everyone else :twisted:) However I am willing to push it to 8:00 pm.. and perhaps if we are really desperate we can try "picking up" late-coming hitch-hikers who logged in at the Vineyard 15-35 mins after we start.
Location: We will meet and leave at the Dragon Dale well yard.

And forgive me if I fumble this up... first time I'm trying one of these things.

Hopefully if all things work out, we'll have 240ish gp lvl 2 gem wards for sale! (Instead of +300ish)

[Keep posting if you like, more alternates are always good.]

*A cloaked man strolls into the smokey tavern, setting down at one of the
tables near the door. With a sharp nod he draws chelies attention and orders a bowl of hot soup, slipping her the required coin and a littel extra with a smile. As he waits for the meal to be delivered he reaches to his pack, pulling a rolled parchment of pressed leaves fourth. Pushing away from the table he heads to the wall where a myariad of postings have been tacked and begins to post up his own note before one catches his eye. He reads on , nodding and mumbling to himself until he reaches the end.*
perhaps i should go north on this one.. see if any that do go would have more interest in similar work..
*carefully he re-rolls the pressed leaf parchment back up and etches his name on the bottom of vincents note before returning to the awaiting bowl of hot chicken soup*

*the elf reads the written words carefully a few moments from beneath the hood of her cloak, her head bobbing with each line not unlike a bird. She reaches to her pack and pulls a thin worn down nub of charcoal and etches a simple picture of a fox head and the word "Isendyl"*

((I may have to be away on a business trip that weekend, but if I can make it I will. so I guess put me as an alternative. I shoud know definatively soon))

*reaching up under his hood and scratching his head, caine slowly reads the postings. A small smile crosses his lips as he spys vincents, then he carefully adds his name to the list in plain block letters*

*A short figure carefully examines several notices moving his lips as he reads them... After several minutes he runs to the bar, grabs a stool and rushes back to the board. Placing the stool before the board he deftly scrambles up to the seat and stands on it, pulling a small vial of cheap ink and a raven feather from his pack.
In crooked and unpracticed shorthand he writes*

"Iwill go on mining expedish (crossed out) expedition with you if is OK.
Neville of Clan Kneebreaker."

*the small figure then hops off the stool and heaves it up over his head to rush back to the bar*

Thenks for let use stool Bodrik!

*Rory pulls up a stool, hops on top, and examines the notice, nodding slightly to himself. He scribbles his name at the bottom of the list, then hops back down, and heads for the exit*

If this goes ahead on Friday, Mathel will have to back out as I won't be here to log him in, if for Sunday, I'm game. Rory or Isendyl will have to take his spot. Sorry.

Thanks to Keldorn, Caine, Quinn, Neville, Paul, and Mati...
I know the trip didn't really turn out all that well, only finding a single amethyst, but I hope we all had a good time doing it.
