You go to the castle and he greets you once he's made aware of your presence.

Cool. So, we should first head to the castle, and then to the meeting?

Drakilian · « **Reply #451 on:** January 27, 2015, 07:37:53 pm »

Depends on if you have enough time by then.

So, meeting first, then castle? I mean, we have 2 and a half hours to burn here. Can't be that hard to meet the prince, say, sup, and then head to the meeting.

Just shaddup and wait for it to actually get to that point Aman XD

The two places are literally right next to each other, it won't make a difference whether you intend to meet the prince or your sires/Patron first, you have to go to the same place before the decision is made.

Oh, okay. XD Anton is heading to the marketplace/near the castle then. XD

Monopoly money, perhaps?

Two more than you, which isn't exactly slave-buying money XD

In theory, yes. In practice, it is unlikely that they'll ever get the chance.

How much money does one need to buy slaves? More than 2 resources worth?

Quote

Resources [ Vampire: The Dark Ages -- Page 129 ]

A medieval person's assets are unlikely to be static. Most peoples' Resource will be land and animals, which must be farmed to generate revenue. Merchants must trade. Nobles must collect taxes and dues. And of course, all these activities take place in daylight in the medieval world. Realizing assets (selling animals, for example_ also requires that the person be able to move about during the day. Tricky.

There are no medieval investment funds or stockbrokers. If a character has Resources, she must either manage her assets in person (hard to do at night) or employ a bailiff (manager); in this case, think about and develop the character's relationship with her proxy. It is also worth specifying roughly what these resources are. Farm animals, land, and trade goods are some examples.

On the other hand, medieval vampires are unlikely to have much use for money. They might want weapons, or cash to pay bribes, but what do they need? They don't need food (on which medieval craftsmen spend 90% of their income), don't need to spend money running a car, and are unlikely to pay rent. Markets and traders are only open during daylight hours, so vampires without mortal servants won't even be able to buy anything.

1   Scant resources: You have just enough to afford the bare necessities -- shoes and clothes when yours wear thin -- but nothing more.
2   Sufficient Resources: You can meet your basic requirements and still have one or two shillings spare per month.
3   Comfortable: you might own a small house and have some means of making a comfortable living. You earn five Librum per year (about average), all spending money. Consequently, you have five shillings per month. If you sold up and moved out you would get no more than five Librum.
4   Wealthy: You have a large house or small manor. You might own a village or you might be a wealthy merchant. You could afford to keep a horse, and you certainly have a few servants. Servants that will stay loyal to you regardless of secrets should be counted as retainers. In addition, you have five shillings per month. In total, your estate is worth around 400 Librum.
5   Vast Wealth: You might own a castle and vast tracts of land (10 -- 20 entire villages), or run a huge trading empire. If you can work out a way to exploit these resources, you could maintain a huge household, including stables, servants, etc. and still have one Librum per month to spend. The estate would be worth thousands of Librum, if you could find anyone wealthy enough to buy it.

Librum = 12 Shillings.

The slave currently on sale would cost Carinus his entire yearly salary, assuming he earns two per month.

Drakilian · « **Reply #472 on:** January 27, 2015, 09:58:26 pm »

4 and up is reasonable slave-buying money.

Drakilian · « **Reply #488 on:** January 28, 2015, 12:58:00 pm »

Vampire (pale aura means vampire).

Not a Prince (If a Prince cared about slaves he would send servants out, not get them himself).

I'm actually not that busy, and I can continue the story - but I saw that Bo was online and wnated to give him a chance to post. I can continue if, like, two people say they don't mind.

(Because there is an event that happens here with the slaves, other than an opportunity for the rich people to feed).

See, here's Steeple's dilemma - he'll only stop here if something happens - still intent on going to a nice inn.

But, I'm content to wait for others to post first. To see what happens.

Heldric had spurred his driver on past the crowds to find a suitably quiet place to rest before the meeting. So he is no longer is the area right, or is he still around?

Drakilian · « **Reply #499 on:** January 28, 2015, 02:46:59 pm »

You guys all had to pass through the same area regardless, so you all saw the slaves, and the event happened before you could do anything of note.
