You have had a big ol sleep.

Part way through your slumber, you blearily recall hearing the distant rattle of the ship's engines being replaced with the rhythmic and pleasant beat of waves against timber.

You mulled over recent life choices in your head. Yesterday, you have never even seen one of those modern, multiple bullet pistols in person. Now, you own one, moreover you're learning how to use. Yet, you don't want to forget about your training. Magic and shit.

You consider just having even more of a lie in, but as you try to roll over, you feel a small, but sufficient weight on your chest.

A familiar voice talks toy you in needlessly weird voice as small hands pat around your face.

" I hope so, pal. You wanted to land in this place and now you're burning daylight. Grab what you need from your NIGHTSTAND, but make sure you see GILCREST before you go. He said he had some things for you."

>>3718257
"Alright. Go ahead, I'll ketchup."

Get clothed in the robe and grab our stuff.
Then follow Highball towards Gillcrest.
Maybe grab some breakfast to go.

Highball stops sitting on you and hops off the bed.

"No worries, Nabob. I'll see you by the front door."

You stand up, rubbing your eyes.
The sleep did you some good. You have recovered a little HEALTH and all of your MANA. You are still a little sore, though.

Your MAXIMUM MANA, it occurs to you, would be higher if you wore your WIZARDS ROBE, but you check your CLOSET and can't find it. Huh.

Your POCKETS are currently empty.

You check your NIGHTSTAND and find:

1 REVOLVER (6 bullets)
1 PERC PISTOL (1bullet)
1 CROWBAR
1 SMALL HEALTH POTION
1 LARGE HEALTH POTION
1 BLANK TRANSMOG POTION
1 HOUSEFLY TRANSMOG POTION
1 BATON
45 GOLD
14 SPARE BULLETS

Take all, or just pick? I'll try to get a consensus.

>>3718286
This. Gotta love those goblins.

>>3718325

Take loaded revolver, crowbar, all the gold and a small health potion. That should be all we need, leave the rest of the pocket space empty for picking up stuff onshore.

>>3718326
>>3718307
>>3718286

Too late by the looks of it.

This but with one extra bullet. It makes all the difference.

>>3718333
This is good

>>3718333
I like that, supporting

Also witnessed trips boio

>>3718333

On second thoughts, do we need all the gold? How much is 1 GP worth? If a day's trading can be done with plenty of spare change then only take 20GP and leave the rest on the ship in case we get mugged.

You wander to the BOILER ROOM, where the front door is, GILCREST and HIGHBALL are chatting idly when you come down the steps.

GILCREST beams when he sees you.

"Got that last locker upstairs unjammed! One of those guards took your WALLET - they ain't supposed to do that.

Point is, now your GOLD wont take up room in your POCKETS. Your wallet is separate, and doesn't take up POCKET room. But it can only contain GOLD and your SUDENT ID.

You can check your STUDENT ID any time to see how you're doing."

>>3718487
Buddy is fine. We're pretty informal I think.

GILCREST brightens and pats your wallet.

"But hey! I took the liberty of putting your cut of the profits into your wallet for you. DUNNLIVIN isn't big but it has a pretty enthusiastic tailor!"

We're his boss so he calls us boss, correct? I don't see the problem here.

>>3718567

let's get the lab tech to tell us what ingredients she'll need to make some mana and health potions for us to sell and use later

Hmmmm, how high of quality are those crowbars?

>>3718567
Seconded, sell em. We drug dealers now apparently.

>>3718586
Also what kind of crowbar we talkin, and what metal? lead, iron, steel, if it's lead then sell that shit its garbage. We might get a decent chunk of change depending on the model of it, so is it a goose neck, claw bar or a straight bar?

>>3718618

" Good thinking. It'll take me a while to arrange the sale, but your share of the take will be here when you get back. Basically means that even if you clean yourself out in DUNNLIVIN, you'll have some gold waiting for you here."

He looks around.

"Before you wander too much. Everyone else is already in town. I'm the only one on the ship right now. I have a CRUMMY MAP OF DUNNLIVIN for you though. That'll help you navigate. Might even have a little advice."

>>3718640

GILCREST stubs out a cheroot on his forehead before lighting another one.

"Here's what I know.

The Shipwright is grumpy , but good at his job. One of those blue, lumpy guys with the condition? Whatever. You probably cant afford anything he sells yet. He's fuel and ship upgrades.

The tiny house with 4 story silo on it is the general store. None of the dudes stock is on display, but there's a chance he has what you want. Good place for furniture and knick knacks. Sorta things to up grade rooms, make the crew happy. That sort of thing. Careful though...the dude who owns the store is eccentric. Only goes by 'The Baron'

SIARKA runs the chemist. You would need BREWERS MARKS to buy her ingredients - but don't worry. SURREY is on that. SIARKA will still sell potions and soft drinks to you, still.

MORDEN's is the tavern. Booze. Chow. Some regulars. Last time I was there - which was a bit back - there was a VITAMGUS and a retired FACTOTUM drinking there. Whatever that is.

Never been to the TAILOR."

You walk up to the bar.
Highball pulls herself up with her elbows, letting her feet dangle, and orders you and her a couple of Manhattans.

MORDEN does his best to answer your questions.

"Isn't much work as such around here. We're basically a stop over and resupply kinda town. The local buyfuglian pen was getting attacked by gopniks lately, but we have a guy on that and he's doing it for free so...yeah. Not much work."

Morden smooths his moustache.

"In terms of locals who are weird. Well, doubtless you've noted ZENJI my barstaff is a HAC"

The waitress turns around, only slightly irritated.

"Nowl." she says

Morden nods.

"Right. Nowl. But she's only really weird in appearance. The Baron - guy runs the general store. He's a necromancer who chose to run a 'everything under the sun' style general store in the middle of nowhere. SO he's weird.

Got my regulars here:
BURSTOCK -with the tattoos, just sits there destroying and then healing her own liver and rolling dice.

GOMERSAL - the ork there. He just wakes up late and drinks red wine and eats crisps. Apparently he used to be a FACTOTUM. He's retired, but I've seen him sell stuff or fix people's gear still."

Morden frowns.

"DOWLER, the shipwright. Is a blooch. Enough said on that."

>>3718936
Dowler might be a good addition to the crew if we run into trouble. Ask what a Factotum is. We should also see Burstock because she is cute and has big boobs.

>>3718968
Seconding.

Definitly should check out Burstock.

>>3718968

" I don't think DOWLER would join your crew, truth be told. He can't really pack up his whole yard to come with you. Also..I don't think he's ever gone work for someone again. Think he likes being his own boss."

Morden gestures to Gomersal, who can't hear him but raises a glass anyways.

"A factotum is one of those guys who actually cares about technology, either trying to learn something from what previous civilisations left us or trying to invent something new. All these marvels we enjoy today from your side arm, to your ship to the icebox and even those horseless carriages - are all thanks to people like Gomersal.


Well, maybe not quite like Gomersal. But factotums from the technical colleges of this world in general."

>>3719018
Visit the general store

>>3719018
Visit the place where we can buy potion materials, we are a business

>>3719018
let's put a pin on Dowler, we might be able to convince him later. A Factotum sounds pretty useful and Gomersal might be an easier recruit. I second going to the potion place, see how it works and maybe get some bearings on our own business.

I feel tempted to ask the Nowl about herself just because she looks so exotic and because I love the creature design (kudos to you QM). However, I'm not sure if she would be interested in joining or would have any interesting skills.

Go with Burstock first and if the opportunity opens we can get to ask her one or two questions when we order another drink.

" Part of life magic, basically. I can sense mana and auras and all that crap. I can tell you currently have SIX spells from the SPHERES OF MAGIC equipped. Whereas someone who has finished their qualification - like me or the baron - only has FIVE plus the ones from our chosen discipline. SO your either still making your mind up and taking a gap year OR you're a rogue wizard and I dunno...you seem nice.

"Not to shabby huh? The ones on my body are shift-ink, so I have to re-memorise them sometimes, but they help me focus on my own body. A must in my line of work."

Burstock is brough another beer by Zenji, and then opens it on the edge of her table.

"Dunno how you're gonna buy ingredients without brewers marks, but whatever you say. Regarding adventuring, that actually sounds like a good time.

Thing is. I've had a run of bad luck. I wanna know for a fact that your luck is better than mine."

Burstock puts two cups and 12 dice on the table.

"We both roll 6d6. Highest total wins. You can bet 30g to best two out of three or you can be a real mench about it, bet 130g and then you only gotta beat me once. First to quote the post where I roll with their roll is the one we'll use."

Highball winces and slides her hand across the table to Burstock, who grips it with relish.

There's is awkward two minutes where Burstock sighs happily and Highball blushes and closes her eyes tight.

Then it's over.

BURSTOCK smiles.

"Sorry, shortstack. I had to know. Thanks for that."

Highball nods quickly and avoids eye contact.

Burstock looks back to you.

"Well, you have yourself a vitamagus, bud. I gotta get some stuff out of my room here, but I'll be on board your ship soon...uuuh..assuming you have a room for me..?"

"General store it is."

She walks ahead of you, which you can't enjoy quite as much as you'd like. You briefly consider holding her hand but she's constantly snapping her fingers, so you suspect she's enjoying the freedom of movement.

You enter the GENERAL STORE.

If someone throws stuff - give them the board! If you need motivational posters - put them in you office! I got pool tables, disco balls and and an autobard. You could put them in the spare rooms, make them a funky place to keep your crew happy! Rock and roll is good for the soul! Except! I ain't got one!! Ha haa!"

The Baron puts a CATALOGUE on the desk.

"Take a look! If you want something and its not in my catalogue - let me know. I just might have it!"

The baron gestures to the skeletons.

"My boys take a while to move the stuff. But it will back on your ship before you next leave."

The baron looks around, says nothing and beckons you closer.

We should probably keep one cell to use as a brig but the other two could be converted into berths. Ask the guy if his spoopy boyz do home renovation as well as deliveries.

You and Highball (who is no longer avoiding eye contact with you or walking ahead) enter the chemist.

DUNNLIVIN is outside of the jurisdiction of the Grand Ternion Unity (basically the government) so you can sell and buy a lot of shonky things here. Good thing too as you already sold the MDMA and the CROWBARS for more money. It's no problem. This place will be your MEGATON, basically. Buying, selling, tricking out your house, getting weapons. DUNNLIVIN is a great first hub.

SURREY turns to you.

"Ah. Mr Donuts. I was meaning to speak with you. What sort of chemicals did you want me to make next?"

>B. You mentioned new potions. Glowbottles or mayonoise or something...? Tell me about that.
>C. We're going to war, SURREY. What can you make for that?

SURREY blinks and smiles a little.
" Second year of college and you've never had grink? Huh.

Well, basically its meant to be a health tonic. It's got coca leaves, kola nuts, some booze and a LOT of sugar.

It used to be marketed as 'Green Cola Wine" then "Green Cola" then just "Greenk" then eventually "GRINK". I guess the marketing for campaign of 'DRINK GRINK' basically wrote itself."

SURREY shrugs.

" Honestly, I think it's pretty gross. But it's very popular. It comes in a few flavours. In its most basic form it gives you a boost to initiative for the next three combats you have. GRINK RAK will actually hurt you to drink it, but it boosts you further as well as making you do more damage. There's also CLEAR GRINK - which only nostalgic morons actually try to get. It's the MOST disgusting. Also illegal and expensive - on account of its side effects."

Well now you can't leave is hanging there, we've gotta know the gory details.

If we get hold of some Crystal Pep-- uh, CLEAR GRINK, can Surrey analyse it and work out the recipe? Bootlegging fizzy pop to nostalgic morons sounds lucrative.

she turns back to you

"If you like, I'm sure I could find a little time to make us some vodka as well.It'll just be gravy on top at this point."

>>3720544
That's actually not a bad plan. Not exactly moral, and we might get a visit from the Coca Cola I mean Grink Death Squads, but there's probably good money in it.

As an aside, did we settle on the Silver Lining as the name of our ship? Now might be an opportunity to repaint the sign while we've docked.

SURREY waves her hand dismissively.

"Of course I know how to make CLEAR GRINK. It, along with ACID and BLANK TRANSMOGS were what I made for our last clients and then sold to SIARKA instead."

SIARKA waves, SURREY waves back. Then looks back at you.

"The side effects of CLEAR GRINK are alarming. Chiefly, it turns whoever drinks it invisible for a short time, maybe 45 seconds. Longer if they're tougher. But it also horribly weakens the bones, muscles and coagulants in the body for up to two hours afterwards. Basically, you'll take double damage."

My sincerest apologies. Rest assured, left to her own devices SURREY will make some of those as well.

>>3720556
So does this mean we have a reliable person to shift CLEAR GRINK to if we start cooking that up, at least while we find other (possibly higher paying) customers?

>>3720602
Alright, that's reassuring.

So I guess unless anyone's got other questions for the chemist, next stop is the tailor's for some sweet duds? Possibly en route the ship to get the sign repainted if we can get a third 'aye' for that.

>>3720640

Let's find out what the chemist is actually selling first, we weren't just here to see Scully.

Ask Surrey on how much it is going to be. Go to the counter, hear if there is anything to hear and ask the bill to be sent to the ship along with the product.

Then let's go to the tailor... we are the captain of a ship and we need something appropriate.

>>3720648
Fair, I'd half thought we were delegating that to Surrey but yeah, it's worth taking a look ourselves.

>>3720658
Tailor-wise, stop me if this sounds shit but since someone mentioned Gun Wizards last thread I've had the picture of something halfway between a cowboy hat and a wizard hat stuck in my head. Either gonna look incredible or ridiculous, but it'd stand out, I guess.

SURREY nods thoughtfully.


"SO, just so I'm clear. I am making whatever I like, brewing some vodka, making some clear grink and also throwing you some health and mana pots. Cause I can do that."

Surrey checks her list.

"It will require a pretty serious list of ingredients, but it's within the budget assigned to me for such things under my contract - so don't sweat that.

It WILL be less immediately profitable but it could work. Lot of bases covered. Also...unless I miss my guess you're planning on doing the ol' treasure hunting, questing type thing, huh? Good alternative source of revenue."

SURREY folds up her list.

"It will take me a while to collect everything, but I have it covered. Thank you for your time, captain."

>>3720728

Why the heck do you guys hate hand holding so much?

I checked out last night after winning the dartboard what did I miss?

>>3720728
I kinda agree, but let's not push it. She doesn't appear to be mad about it so focusing on it now will only make things worse. Possibly a proper apology and an assurance that we're not gonna do that kinda thing again, but if she says it's ok, best to respect that. Also, we got that gobbo a dartboard. Gobbos love dartboards.

>>3720735
Because hand holding is a SPECIAL THING that you do with SOMEONE YOU FEEL SAFE AND CLOSE WITH, not just holding the hand of any STREET VAGABOND for a few spare DOLLARYDOOS

>>3720735
>>3720740
Also as far as I know, specifically, goblins like to keep their hands free and moving at all times, so holding someone's hand is a Big Deal for them. Hence why it's usually so expensive.

>>3720719
I don't want to buy anything actually

>>3720744

Honestly I thought it was because they were joking about hand holding being sacred or some stuffs.

Didn’t know there was actual lore for this.

The quest takes place in "the Garlands" but I think lore info is sparse and hard to find.

Is actually on the money. The gloves make no difference, but to a goblin, interlocking fingers is a huge deal and holding both hands is practically unheard of.

I appreciate that the lore is a little sparce (wont always be) -truth be told its one of the reasons I'm running this quest and having so many job types and species show up. It's so you can explore and ask (only if you want to).

ANYWAYS back to the game.
