In reply to Clarence Montague (msg # 210):

Clarence can go collect his parcels, locks cost upward of $50 each, and outfitting the rooms should cost about $400 per person, less if you buy cheap.

Each point in base gets you one status higher from the -2 start; 2 points gets you an average apartment within the home.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 211):

Ok. Clarence already has 2 points in base. He will spend $450 to get a lock and outfit his room, selling the flail but keeping the rugged lantern. How much will he get for the flail?

I'll drop the $400, but knowing how little good locks do against someone who's not just an opportunist, he'll go for a cheap lock ($25?).

Also, did I miss a point award recently?  Last one I have recorded is from April.  Regardless, I have a few unspent, I'll go ahead and spend the 2 cp on Base to bring up the status of my apartment.

She buys a good lock and spends up to $500 to fix up her rooms and the outside of the building.
She knows the lock is not perfect, but the thief who tries to pick it in her absence will not succeed regardless.

The Vejovians have been keeping the place clean, and whitewashed the fronts of the buildings, and some have even removed the bloodstains from the floors.


They report to you that there have been people with guards and fancy clothes inspecting the area.

In reply to cultist (msg # 215):

"Wha manner o swells? We hae tae deed tae this property.
Who comes tae 'inspect'?"

the Vejovians are a little uncertain, but describe well dressed folk in some kind of uniform
who are neither wearing the blue cl9aks of the local guardsmen
nor the purple robes of the Hadereum.

What color robes were the Cultists using? The ones who were worshipping Chaos / the Devourer/ aka the Saturnines?

"Those cultists were in dark brown -- I think someone said they were using dead squid and cats to dye the robes for some reason."

She looks at the Vejovians So a dark Brown color?

In reply to Jocelyn Lemru (msg # 220):

The vejovians shake their heads and hash out a conflicting set of descriptions that involve
 blue and yellow stripes and lots of gold trim on ornate gear.
There were armed guards with them, wearing blue and yellow.
Most of all, they were kind of snooty and looked like they smelled something bad.

In reply to cultist (msg # 221):

Do we recognize any of the descriptions?

Character may well know but the Player is clueless.

"My business is cracking. That may be some of the reason..."

This is where his shop is located, right? What percentage of his business is from Adventures, including this party?

In reply to Benito Drake (msg # 228):

A guy from the guild named Oren bought up a lot of the armor; he apparently hires out guards to caravans.
That was a good chunk of his trade;
he also made some locking hardware for a Shevnian innkeeper
a couple blocks up.
Benito was working in the basement when
the envoys came.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 229):

The Vejovians assist in installing the new furnishings.
They may need expanded quarters, and it might noot be a bad use for
the prior cult headquarters, especially as the Vejovians worship
underground.

Do we own that too?

"That is a long way down...how far down do they own to give us?"

In reply to Benito Drake (msg # 233):
"Hae dinna ken wha tae inhabitants ae tae lower spaces think abou all o tha, but tae Hadereum seems tae think so."

"I guess one could question how deep Hades is, but I don't think we'll need to know any time soon.  As far as pushing any inhabitants down there out of our space, I guess it'd depend on what inhabitants.  I don't think I'd want to try to dispute ownership with that monster worm we saw down there, so big it filled the passage.  Nor, I think, with the adults of Clarence's friend Lefty.

"Then again, if they were to pay us a little rent..."
