"Yes, I should like that list, and as much of a description of this orchid species as you can give me. My, ah, companions are not the most organised lot and haven't actually decided where we'll be going yet, although I shall certainly be campaigning for the Sierra now that you tell me this."

The orchid is called the Blue Death colloquially by those who frequent the area. It produces a compound which prevents the blood from properly carrying oxygen. This turns the blood a deep blue, prevents clotting, and leads to an excruciatingly unique and painful death. Imagine suffocating to death in every cell in your body at once, even while your lungs are full of life saving air. Truly remarkable. It has pitch black petals, which fade to a deep blue as they approach the center. It has radiant purple stigmas. Trust me on this, in that frozen land, it will be unmistakable. He then hands you a sealed envelope with a list of plants he could use samples of, as well as descriptions and where to look for them. Here is the list of the samples and where to collect them from. Collectively I'm willing to pay 400c for it if you manage to collect them all. Otherwise, we will work out payment.

Excellent, thank you. I hope I shall be seeing you again soon.

Sean bows a little and takes his leave of the botanist.

The mage grabs your arm as you turn away, getting a good grasp on the cloth of your shirt. You may have guessed this already, but touching it directly would be unwise if you wish to survive collecting it. The mages eyes were disinterested but acutely aimed at your own, as if he was dissecting the composition of your irises. Then, as if he had reached some satisfying conclusion, released his grip on you're shirt and waved you onwards.

A member of the Consortium enters the building to escort you to the docks, you think his name is Mikey or something. He is visibly displeased when he sees you are still shopping. Hey, you debtors are on the clock. If I were you, I'd get moving. If you don't want to spend your generous start up funds, then don't, but if you're trying to keep your knees intact, I'd suggest you get some supplies and get going.

I was staring at blank space for few minutes, needed to refresh my mind. Won't happen again boss!" As Deyou stated to Mikey

Okay I recommend
1 Plate Mail
5 Nets (3 Med, 1 Large, 1 Small)
1 Map of the Frozen Siera

"Leaves us with twenty that we can expend on rations for the dragons, than we go and hunt some dragons, and start our ranching business. Sean gets the Plate Mail because he needs to a hold a very deadly plant or something for 1000 coins"

How much do gloves cost? Those are probably better for hand protection than a full set of metal armor...

New plan:
5 Nets (4 Med, 1 Small)
1 Map of the Frozen Siera
2 pairs of gloves
The remainder is to be spent on cracker rations.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

I prefer Deyou's plan, except that I would suggest omitting the large net, for I have already purchased one I am willing to share, and replacing it with the fishing pole and some fish rations in case our dragons are carnivorous.

Very well. That said, we will still need gloves. They're only 20c.

It appears we don't have a pot so that we can root the plant, once we find it. A Moment, if you so please.

Look for the most inconspicuous or forgotten house that has a garden with a potted plant, and than quickly snatch it up and put t into the Airship

As the new dragon wrangles quibbled and stood around quietly holding up the ever growing line at the checkout counter, Mikey threw a bunch of stuff in your cart and pushed you onwards towards the dock so you don't miss your departure time.I've never met people who want us to collect their debt's in the worst way possible, but hey, if that's what you all are after, we will be sure to help ya with that. Deyou grabs a potted plant, some very withered tulips in a terracotta pot, on the way.

After stacking the supplies in the center of the main deck, Mikey gives you a rundown of what you're doing.

Alright ya welshers, listen up. Half of you won't make it back, you'll get eaten, cooked then eaten, or eaten then cooked out there in the wilds. That sucks for the rest of you bums cuz your debt has been consolidated into a big ol' package. You're all stuck in this until you can pay for your problems, capeech? So don't let the guy next to you die or run off, because you'll end up paying his debt as we figure out if he's dead or if we're killing em.

Speaking of paying your debt, I don't care how you do it, just that you do it. Dragon eggs fetch good prices, depending on the species. Live dragons can, but untamed wild dragons are going to be hard to sell. No one wants to do the training themselves, so thats on you if you want the best price. Last is dragon and monster bits. Some people will pay good money for dragon scale soup, and all sorts of ninny shit. If its shiny, grab it. If you can market it, grab it. If you can't, don't bother. By the time you come back I'll have some contacts lined up for you to buy your wares and put in requests. It'll take you a few days to get there and back, make sure you make good use of the downtime training and coming to know your dragon. That's about it, get going.


With that Mikey detethered your ship and gave it a good push with his oversized boot. And so your journey begins, literally pushed out into the unknown. The tall gateless walls of the kingdom far beneath you as you travel through the clouds. Soon the grasslands of this realm give way to endless ocean dotted by the occasional large island. What could possibly be out there? It'll be a few days until you reach your destination, you figure you can do one action ever morning, every afternoon, and every night for a total of three actions per day. Though you sure you could do a few little tasks instead of a bigger time consuming action.

It is now morning of Day 1.

They sky is mostly clear with the occasional fluffy white cloud. You are still a few days from your destination. You pass over several islands, most of them small, but you could probably find one large enough to find supplies and dragons on if you wanted. There seem to be no airborn dragons nearby. Wind and weather conditions are good.

Check our inventory. Then, with the consent of the others, set the ship on course for the Frozen Siera.

Confirm consent, then spend time hanging out with the dragons.
