1. Would like to enquire around town and see what it would take to purchase
some Silver tipped Sheaf Arrows.
Angus the Smith will be happy to provide these at
3£ & 3 s. for six .
NB Silver tips never survive being fired into a
hard surface only one in six misses and two in six hits are recoverable, also
they only do 1-4 h.p. of damage to creatures not magical, ie. orcs.
2. Would like to stop by the church and provide a donation in exchange for
a few vials of holy water.
Fr. Petras is happy to take your donation of at
least 10£ , and will give you the insiders price of 35£
per vial.
3. Would like to convert 500£ into some easy to carry gems.
Tanya or Frank will sell you good pieces
of amber worth 50£ for 55£ each. Generally speaking you will lose 10% for each
step of conversion, 55£ to get a 50£ gem, which would be worth 45£ when you need
to pay your bar tab with it. In the city there are banks that will store wealth
at 1% deposit and withdraw fee, that is you store 1,000£ then you need some of
your 990£ so you withdraw 500£, leaving 485£. There are account minimums and the
F antasy D eposit I nsurance
C ompany does not exist, so if the bank fails, your money
is just a memory, You need to trust your banker big time. Money changers are
also a great way to lose your dough, most cities will inspect your goods and
cash upon entry and exit converting to local currency, sometimes restamping your
own coins to make them legal tender within the city often this is charged at 1
to 10% and goods are taxed at 5 to 15%. Building and maintaining walls
and guards costs plenty and costs are generally are out of your pocket, not the
Overlord, Burgher, Duke, or Pasha’s.
As these are good questions, I will post them to the
forum.
