Trading in Darkbridge

AK510-32 Low Spring Start Week 4
[Charon Watching, Shale Watching, Cycles Guiding]
(Festival of The Scythe: Cycles, Life and Death)

Jo of Kell hunts down a Slevakor single handedly and brings the most choice butchered pieces to his friend in the Tipsy Fish. They spend most of the next two weeks experimenting and Jo manages to concoct a brace of healing salves. And blow up some stuff.

Oz Harvest (Todd) spends several days making contacts among the traders of Darkbridge. He sells all of the mountain of arms and armor that the party had dragged into town with them. He takes over management of The Hungry Horse Inn and makes it an exclusive outlet for Woodhaven apple pies and candied apples. The party all join the adventurers guild in Darkbridge in order to avoid paying taxes on their adventuring proceeds. Todd manages to sell a large quantity of poison to some underworld contact and this is worth a substantial number of gold pieces. The others dont ask any questions.

Having cashed in all their assets they realise that they now have enough gold to realise their goal of buying the Deed to Woodhaven from Zengarion Torc. They form a delegation to persuade him to honour the standing offer of 10,000gp for the deed within the first year.
Todd and his many aliases are busy with his many affairs so he doesnt attend. Ivellios Tharanian is Zengarions representative on the town council so he leads the delegation. Vedic Tim Tanner, Sheriff John Appleby and Jo of Kell the Alchemist accompany him.
Thanks to the excellent work of the well paid bards, Zengarion is very well informed on the status of Woodhaven and is better appraised on the village and its inhabitants than they would like. Ivellios puts forward a very strong case as to why Zengarion should allow them to purchase the village. They others then join in and all but threaten to leave if they cannot. Zengarion stops them there telling them that the threats are not required and that he is of a mind to sell to them. They manage to hold their tongues. Zengarion then inquires about investment opportunities in the village and they agree to set up a distillery, a brewery, a lumber mill (with a replanting program), a tannery, an armory and a smithy.
They try to persuade him to invest in a mine but he has little interest in that once they admit that they have no idea where t find a mine.
Zengarion them magically summons the village deed and they all sign it. The next day Bob Charmer and Oz Harvest sign the document. Sir Eagon has no interest in it and cannot reveal his identity even if he wanted to. Ethans name is signed by Tim Tanner.

Over the next few days the party attempt to recruit more settlers for Woodhaven. They hire Geneis from the Hungry Horse Inn to assist them and together they canvas the docks and the new arrivals at the south gate. They convince 8 families to come to Woodhaven and Oz arranges transport for them with Cheno Melek. Sir Eagon sails with the settlers to ensure their safety. Oz takes care of more private business in the town.

For the following few days the party each go about their individual business.
Todds activities are too numerous to mention but involve astute mercantile pursuits as well as other more nefarious activities.
Jo Of Kell delves deep into the mysteries of Alchemy using a tome copied from the Master of The Drunken Val-roi. He looses his eyebrows and patches of skin in several modest explosions but manages to heal himself with healing salves. He decides that a much bigger alchemy lab needs to be built in Woodhaven and discusses designs with Jeremy Stonesplitter.
Vedic Tim Tanner mentors his acolyte in the ways of the church. He spends many days praying to the gods, who reveal further magical powers to him in reward for his devotion. He composes a new Chant and decides to use it to bless Woodhaven with it on his return.
Bob Charmer and his bees scour the countryside hunting down Slevakor. The bond between the ranger and the swarm becomes more powerful and the hive mind becomes more intelligent and more dangerous.
Ethan continues to learn the ways of the Bard in the Tomb of Setanta Fochlachan.
Sir Eagon Trains in the Temple of Charon and prays in the Temple of the Cycles, then escorts the new settlers on the long ship with Cheno Melek.
Sheriff John Appleby, walks among the trees bringing and communes with nature. He meditation is rewarded with more powerful druidic magic.
Ivellios Tharanian, meets the Sarah the Mason and they discuss their homeland. The majority of his time is spent in the Temple of Shale studying the libraries and researching new spells. His efforts are rewarded by Draiocht.
