While we got a lot of successes on our roles for pre-auction shennanigans the role for the auction was HORRIBLE. We ended up getting MUCH less than fair market value for them. Oh well.
After the auction it's decided that the
Coranado will be repaired to 50% of it's full functionality, this cost about 35,000 firebirds, which the party had on hand, but it began running our funds VERY low. So the group decided in order to make a little extra cash they'd buy a cargo of rare hardwoods and take them to Criticorum (where we were already going to visit Galen's wife Octavia). Also, the group decides to have Svana go do some moderate stakes gambling, she ended up netting the group 1,200 firebirds in three attempts, and decided to walk away from the table. Unlike Drake, she doesn't have the greedy flaw, and knows when to stop. The group also takes on a noble passanger.
The group leaves for Criticorum where it nets 9,000 firebirds for it's shipment of hardwoods, so they decide to purchase some gemstones in Criticorum to take to their next stop Byzantium Secondus. Also, Galen's wife joins the group...thank gods because they are going to need someone with fiscal management skills to keep this money pit running.
It doesn't take long for Octavia to get into it with Drucilla and Svana, which basically ends the evening with Sir Joseph going off to drink with Drucilla, and for Svana to drag Sir Robert off to "work off some aggression" before she has to kill someone.
