Raslen Rad - Read This

[Fantômas]

They are swarms of insects, some quite large that are in both Beastkin world and Melwix world that the people of the worlds have a strong dislike/fear of.

Borax munitions it is, then!

Doc Shadow Walked us to some zone where the ground was made of precious gems. There were volcanoes in the distance and large flapping birds around them. They appeared unnatural and unholy from a distance. After a while it seemed to take an interest in us. Not a good idea to stay there for too long. 2 packed golf bags of uncut, unrefined gems were left for Raslen to deal with. One bag was given to the embassy to help with costs and expenses.

Raslen, you have work to do. Get to it.

[Jaypay]

Need some new golf clubs then, eh?

[Scott]

Wow.

You guys might want to get in touch with a gemcutter. Cut gemstones are typically worth an order of magnitude more money. And that way you can tap into 2 different markets for finished and unfinished stones.

[PotatoJedi]

Doc took the golf clubs out but he still has them. And yes, finding a gem cutter sounds like a very reasonable idea. We will leave that in the capable hands of Raslen.

[PotatoJedi]

The gems are barely worth anything. Turns out if you don't know much about the shadow you are trying to go to, i.e. if you don't know anything about gems, then you may not get what you desire due to your limited knowledge of the subject.

[Jaypay]

Right - I'll have some jackets bedazzled for the lads.

You're not taking that jackwagon pawnshop guy's word for it, are you?

[PotatoJedi]

No. Hornsby, one of the DORAs who is very competent in mining and gemology, told us this. He was working at the Embassy at the time before Raslen hired him for some other work.

I have spoken with a shipping magnate who owes me a favour and told him that I consent to you calling in the favour for whatever you need. <Details on who it is, where they are, etc here as this was part of a mod>.

Also might I suggest that you eventually get to Vorus and do a couple jobs for Detective Young. He will supply you with ID and all that. There is a rather hefty bank balance which is just dying to have investments be made with it.

[Jaypay]

Thanks, mate! I'll have a Captain Cook.

Hey Raslen. You should definitely go and check out Guri when you get the chance. Lots of trading and whatnot to be done there. Plus we have a spaceship as a base where you can store things. Only way to get there is by Clem's or shadow walking (I would not recommend shadow walking). Read the word salad pamphlet over in one of the other threads for more information on the zone. Trumps don't work.

Word of warning though: figure out a way of paying off your 2000-credit debt [before the end of the season] lest you have a bounty put on your head. You need a trader's license in order to sell goods (2000 credits [for the season]) legally. Your credit limit is 3000. Lastly – every transaction you make incurs a 10% tax. Every. Transaction.

Good luck! If you need anything, let me know.
