Sarka, The Royal Court, Klos 20th, 350AC, 10:30 (underground, 72 degrees, half moon)

Your declared actions can be split into two groups:  Those done here in Sarka, and those done once returning to Akton.  I will deal with the former in this turn.

Zeebo tries to see if he can get a dictionary of the badder language.  He first rolls his anti-charisma defect while talking to the king.  What could go wrong here??  (9): 9 2 = yellow.  He makes a CH roll (5): 6 8 = blue.  The badders do not have (or at least do not admit to) a dictionary.  They could allow you to learn their language from a teacher in exchange for a fee.  That fee would be higher if the teacher was to travel with you to Akton.  If interested, you can bargain on the price….

Phallon tries to learn the badders’ trade routes and how Akton can join or benefit from them.  He makes two economic genius rolls (11): 60 6 = blue.  60 6 = blue.  He also makes a bargaining/bartering/dipolmacy roll (16): 30 4 = white.  Phallon learns that Ukrul doesn’t really trade with outside groups.  Rather, it uses a system of tribute, where the communities within its area of influence send treasure, valuables, and/or soldiers to Ukrul in exhange for some level of survival or autonomy.  Sarka tries to be self sufficient in that they harvest and gather food from the byllka forest to support their population (which is impressively high for the badlands).  Almost everything in the market is badder made or locally scavenged.  The badders do not seem to want to change this system and don’t seem interested in any of your proposals at present.

Arvak tries to get a duralloy shield.  He makes a general CH roll (7): 1 5 = white.  He makes a bargaining roll (7): 6 3 = blue.  The badders prize their duralloy and seem reluctant to give it to one that recently fought against them.  They will agree to give you the right to order and purchase a shield for a fee, OR if you can kill and return the body of the floating half-metal man that prowls around the ruins of Ack.  You can make a bargaining roll if you wish…

Ragnor’s actions were specifically dealing with his return to Akton.  However he makes an awareness roll (16): 60 8 = green.  He notices that no one has written down the specifics of the deal that was just made.
