Mike is unsure what to do with a shortbow.  :P

Also, turn in ~24 hours.

I'd like to make an addendum to the contract given current output conditions. I only made .5F on that run, and after your earnings are taken to account, I barely break even. (The change to the contract meaning it's payment date does not have an end payment date so long as it's shown I don't make enough to meet the date. Cause I don't. I made .1F this run after costs.)

Also,
ACTACTACT: Bid for Lockpicks for 0.86 Florims End current Expedition and bring Dr. Inns Kath back to base if Bid is a success. I came across two chests last time, and got absolutely nothing from them. 3 Nails, 3 copper coins, and 2 Sandpaper do not a payment make.

On that note, opening a bid for any looking for sandpaper or nails next turn right then. Doubt anyone wants it, but eh.

Did you read the contract I wrote before signing it? It's not identical to the one you proposed. Let me copy it...

Quote
We, the undersigned, agree to enter a Subsidiary Relationship with TAC. In this case, TAC (the Parent) agrees to loan a sum of 3₣ to Tim (the Subsidiary) immediately after the signing of this contract, to be spent on establishing themselves in the adventuring business.

Immediately from the signing of this contract on, the Subsidiary is required to transfer to the Parent 50% of the proceeds from adventuring they obtain until 6₣ or the equivalent of items (measured by their market price) has been transferred.

After the Subsidiary has paid off the initial 6₣, they are required to transfer 15% of all proceeds gained by adventuring (or their equivalent in florins) measured by market value. In exchange, the Parent agrees to subsidize the Subsidiary in case they suffer a loss.

Note that nowhere are there any timed conditions - it's 50% until 6F is paid, however long that takes.

Edit: Oh, wait, I wasn't sure what you were asking. That sound reasonable; give me a moment.

Edit 2: Here is a proposed addendum.

Quote
Addendum: The Subsidiary may choose to defer payment up to three turns (either consecutively or non-consecutively). In this case, the remainder must be paid, either spread out or as a lump sum. The Parent reserves the right to temporarily suspend monetary assistance until all outstanding deferred payments are paid.

There are no conditional actx3 in VbT. I forgot to say this, so I brought back your adventurer. However in the future such posts will be ignored.

Small correction, before you all pool your money and kill an adventurer: the maximum winnings ("bank") are 10 florins per encounter. So you can bet 5 groshen on a draw, 1 florin on the rat, and 11 florins on the adventurer total. Bets are first come first serve, if that becomes relevant.

More info: First encounter is 1 rat. There will be no loot. Odds in later turns will depend on how your adventurer performs in previous arena rounds (right now everyone is a dark horse, so the bets are equal.) Each adventurer who enters the arena fights alone.

Honestly a bit surprised I got the picks for so cheap. A chance at more money is always nice.

We found a chest at one point that contained all of the following:
  -1 Pfennig (value 0.01)

So it's no guarantee of big money. Most of them have better contents than that, though.

Better than stumbling across them and not being able to open them at least. And future expedition locations may have better loot.

Did you mean 2.50F, or 0.25F? You mention paying 2.50, but all breakdowns show 0.25.

Ah, opps. Yeah, it's 0.255 for loot this run. So made just enough to return and go on another expedition. It's why I wanted the lockpicks, since treasure events just got skipped that round.

0.51 in total.. Which actually using a calc shows I have an extra 0...
