Wait wait wait, So..I'm effectively done step #2 as i've killed a man in honorable single combat. And I guess that also counts as winning 1 duel, for #1?
I suppose we cant really count Castor. There were guards involved in that.

[Iituem]

Technically you could graduate by just winning two non-lethal honour duels, or lasting to the third round of a tournament, yes.

Practice duels don't count, there needs to be at least something at stake, even if it's only honour or a place in a tourney.  Duels on which significant amounts of money are being wagered will count, though - provided you're doing at least some of the wagering.

[Ghazkull]

well anyway uhm how much those a newly errected market cost?

EDIT: what the heck? i think the heat fried my brain sorry:

how much would it cost to build a market?

[Iituem]

Establishing a new market has a difficulty of 1 (you can try to do it without any funding, at a risk of failure, each ducat adds a +1 to the effort), establishing a new town is difficulty 2.  Expanding a town has a difficulty equal to the existing town size x 2.  Expanding a market has a difficulty equal to the existing market size.

Whoah, with all these rules and rolls, Iituem ends up doing a work of a moderately-sized CPU. But these rules are actually functional and sensible for a level of RP that we have. I'm just trying to figure out though why the sudden fad for everyone to become a guildsman, craftsman or a trader.

[Ghazkull]

not trader, i just need to develop my country a bit more...look at it im the lord over some backwater farmers...i need a market a proper town, a port (Hello Munros!) and a proper road system. I hope the slave trade will bring in some money to establish all those things...

[Ardas]

Kinda strange though that a no good raider suddenly decided to settle down and educate himself in ways of government. I haven't seen your character read the Storm Coast version of The Prince so it it is surprising.
After that debacle with SCTG is over I might swing by your land to do a little trading....

[Terenos]

Ghazkull.. -should- I become duke of Preston, I am willing to assist you in the conquest of the Eastern Weylands, for some of the land. Nothing unfair, just a bit more to add to Elbreth.

[Ghazkull]

well my character is not just some uneducated oaf from the Weylands, hes the son of a Storm Coast book merchant...maybe i should begin writing up his backstory as everybody seems to mistake him for an babarian...well wait thats actually what i want...XP

The funny thing is that Manskinner is, as far as I can infer from his backstory, a citizen of the Storm Coast.  It's never been revealed exactly who he was before he came to Weyland - a nobleman, a failed merchant, a condottieri - but whoever he was he left and decided he had more of a chance making it in the world by moving into a lawless, partisan region and forcibly civilising it through utterly ruthless and bloody means.

By many accounts he's barbaric, but he writes in a perfect cursive Storm Coast hand, can speak and write Mirish and Samakhet fluently in a region where literacy never caught on and knows enough about social mores to incite religious dissent and open rebellion in a tightly controlled Archbishopric.  Manskinner has pulled off the 'mysterious stranger' trope without calling a lot of attention to it and just about avoided cliche in the process.

So, well done Ghazkull.

[Ghazkull]

hmm maybe i keep his backstory back...just for fun and you people to figure out why he turned from a book merchants son into the Manskinner...

[King_of_the_weasels]

Ghazkull is essentially Caeser from New Vegas.

[Ardas]

Well who is doing the NCR here?

[NRDL]

It's amazing how much "You Are a King" has grown. 

[Ghazkull]

ah finally somebody caught the reference. Yes i took Ceasar as a reference point for my character, a educated guy from some civilized place who goes out and tames the barbarians and forces them into his empire. But well there's more to Corv...

Edit: i dont think we need an NCR here, but if your so much out for references it would propably be Brighthall...
