@MiddleEarthRoze Good enough for me, you and Leo can both go post your chars.

[Leidenschaft]

Oh, yea, I can post Solveig in the Char tab, right?

And if you want, I could make a movealong post, just PM me an outline of events you want to happen and I'll make them happen.

[ButtsnBalls]

Go ahead.

I'm actually halfway through, gotta dunk a cup of coffee and power through this.

Hey look, Gcold made his post.

[Peik]

Have we received payment for the action? If so, how much? Also, how much would that silver ring go for after some haggling?

[ButtsnBalls]

Grey Quarter: 40 gold

Nord shops: "Get that ashskin shit away from me."

@gcold

Aw goddamnit, I'll sell it later.

Wait, this raises a different question. How much would Edith get from selling them?

@Peik

Less from Dunmers but Nords actually buy from her.

A bit more than Sadri, ~45g/ring.

@gcold

Aw hell. Meant for a later haggle, I guess.

And how much were we paid after the attack on the redoubt?

[ButtsnBalls]

I'm thinking around 80. Too much? Too little?

[Peik]

Well, a landsknecht received 4 guilders monthly, and veterans received 8. And then there was of course the battlefield booty, which I believe would make up a more important portion of larger sums of money. And their monthly expenses would take up a quarter of it.

Calculating daily expenses as two loaves of bread, a cabbage potato soup and a bottle of mead, we get an expense of 14 septims daily, basing calculations off Skyrim. Multiplying it by 30 means that a mercenary would spend about 420 septims at minimum. If that were a quarter of a mercenary's expense (Landsknecht, I believe, paid for all their expenses on the road, no free food from the company), that would mean that they would be getting about... 1680 septims monthly. Which is about 180 septims more than a Daedric War Axe.

Skyrim's economics come off as kind of fucked to me. Maybe we should use Morrowind's calculations. At least weapons can get damn expensive that way.

EDIT: Going off Morrowind's prices, daily expenses taken at two loaves of bread, one portion of saltrice and one kwama egg, it totals at about 5 septims a day, multiplied by 30 it makes it 150. If that were the quarter of our pay at minimum expenses, we would be getting about 600 septims monthly, which, by Morrowind's standards, is somewhat more reasonable. Comparably, a labourer would be getting about 1.6 guilders, which would be about 240 septims monthly by Morrowind's standards.

So, figuring our monthly pay as about 350 minus loot, since we're not Landsknechts but just a simple free company of not much strength, I think you have initiative to work out payment for a small-scale siege.

Righto- time make Sylvanis' introductory post!

[MacabreFox]

In the process of writing a post, will have it up shortly. I can't wait to bust Leif out onto the scene (; better watch out ladies!

[Leidenschaft]

I'm looking forward to the point in time where Leif tries to get at Solveig.

@Leidenschaft

It may be sooner than you think! And Vurwe too, and Edith, and Roze (; and anyone else female.

[Leos Klien]

Me and Rose are doing a Colab, since Sylvy and Rhas are friends.
Should be up tomorrow ^.^

[Frizan]

I spent longer on that post than was really necessary. Sudden writer's block/brainfarts are annoying.

[ButtsnBalls]

@oak7ree Still with us?

[Haeo]

@gcold, how many feathers would a single hawk yield that would be suitable for potion making? I'm working on a transition post and Utu's been busy again.

@Haeo

What type of potion and what kind of hawk?

@gcold

Healing Potions, but I was only aware of one kind of hawk in Skyrim...
