Nobles: Strength 2, cost 4. Upkeep/quarter 1 if holding at least 1 parcel of land/unit, or 5 otherwise. Double cost for upgrades. Hard cap of 1/4 parcel of land when recruiting. As long as you can pay and enough land to satisfy them, there is always an endless number of nobles. Represent landed gentry who takes up arms for his lord following warrior code.

You'll probably want to change that to 1/2 parcel of land. Otherwise two nobles are too many.

They are rounded up.

((I used up the 20 florins by buying useless businesses??))
Make the businesses I own in Telos make me a profit.

((Yes. Put it in another perspective, you subsided your own state from falling apart. They have cards to play trade wars with you.))
[3] You should better ask your state why they need these industries.

[vagel7]

Ask my state why I need these industries and find out what they are.

((I'm not making any profit at all from these businesses?))

[Firelordsky]

Buy out one of the local taverns after I get paid and try to haggle down the price.

[micelus]

Wait for next quarter

(Is a quarter measured in real-time or do we vote for it?)

As long as I see fit.

[areyoua]

I see. Sorry then, just kind of wasting everyone's time.

I've already paid you firelordsky, and I can't seem to find professionals for your mercenary band, but I will recoup you the 3f when you find one. Also, I assume that you'll send Alexander on the trip rather than the nearly dead Howard?

Name: Rubert Accardo

Occupation: Fencing teacher, thugboss

Age: 36

Background: Rubert was born with a perfectly healthy body to a simple family living a simple life. He wasn't born alone though, he was born with a fraternal twin brother, his brother was less lucky and would constantly fall ill, becouse of the weak body he had born with. His father was a woodcutter  and his mother was well.. his mother. Ruberts father went missing when he was 12 years old. The body was never found but he was declared dead. This unfortunate event forced Rubert to a path of thievery. Being not very good at thieving, it didn't take long for him to get caught, fortunately he wasn't caught by the guards but a band of thugs. The leader of the thugs recruited him into the gang promising him, his brother and mother a place to live and food to eat. 
During the next six years Rubert took part in many crimes. Once he even had to kill a man, hes first one, it was a fencer that a merchant which owed the leader some money had hired. The fencer took down two thugs with him. The corpse of the fencer  was disposed, and Rubert stole his sword and parrying dagger. With these weapons he would develop a style of his own, more practical and less elegant, one fit for a streetfighter.

After Ruberts 20th birthay his first child, a girl, was born. The mother of this child was the thugleaders daughter Maria, who would later become Ruberts wife. Life was good and everything was going fine until the thugleader suddenly died to an unknown disease.
Without a male heir to inherit his gang Rubert would inherit the gang due to marriage with the former leaders only child. Now being the leader, Rubert would participate less in the field duty and more in the grand scheming. This also gave him more free time to do what he desired and so he started a career as a duellist. Too bad his style wasn't "honorable" and no one wouldn't want to duel with him, so this was a short career indeed, but it gave him an idea to set up a fencing school of his own. Life was again going nicely, his second and third daughters were born, but Rubert wanted a son. After a few years his dream came true and a son was born.

Nowadays, Rubert manages a fencing school specialized in re-training misguided duellists and retains the position of leadership in his thugband. He teaches fencing to his son, who seems to have a talent for it. His eldest daughter is married to his second-hand man, he keeps looking after his now very old mother and casually buys some books for his ill-bodied brother.

Ya i'll probably send Alexander the great Bard

[areyoua]

Things are looking up again for Lencil. Admittedly, things were looking good when the Carrerans only demanded one parcel of land when they could've grabbed all ten, and things were looking stellar before that, so the experts said it was all square. It was in this time of plenty that a simple mercenary captain from Morwood tried to grab a piece of the ever growing Lencil pie (which taste oddly like dirt).

Buy out one of the local taverns after I get paid and try to haggle down the price.

Although Lencillians aren't known for their racism, and are normally quite nice, except to the bloody Carrerans, the Barbarians from Morwood don't exactly have the best reputation since they invaded in 549. Lencil won, and got their tiny bit of forest, but the destruction was still devastating.

Alexander the Great Bard wandered the land in search of a tavern to buy in these times [5] and found one. It was in decent shape, but the owner needed money after having heard of il Basterdo's escapades and trying to gamble like a pro. Alas, he wasn't a pro and the rest isn't history, but it is obvious. [2] However, he needs quite a lot of cash to pay off his loans, totaling 8f. 80% of the Bard family's reserves. Alexander the Great tried haggling the price down, and at one stage threatened to conquer all of the known world if he didn't lower the price, [4] which confused the owner so much he accidentally said 7f. Alexander snatched up the the deal, and cut a complex knot for no other reason than to insert a reference to history. The owner and his workers would stay in place, but you would take the profits. How much profit? ((I accidentally pressed "generate" twice on Random.org and got two 6's. I rolled again just to see, and got another, so you know what's next))

Gigantic Overreach [6][6][6] The ink on the transfer notice had barely dried when the jaws of hell opened up and swallowed the tavern! No, not a joke. However, everyone managed to get out, but because they were all drunk, no one will be able to relate this tale with any sort of certainty. Except Alexander, who continued to tell the story until he later died of malaria. Luckily, the tavern was insured to the effect of 20f, which you as the owner now receive. The tavern was in a rural area and was more a stopping point for travelers, so the travelers just assumed it had been dismantled. It didn't cause a great commotion amongst the drunks, [2] but a few stopped to "ask" to hold 6f. [3] Alexander reminded them that he was going to conquer the known world, so they only walked away with 5f.

Spoiler: Howard Bard (click to show/hide)

18f - +3 payment, +15 insurance. -7 cost of tavern
Alexander Bard - Right-hand Man, brother - Gone in Morwood
Grigori Chenkya - Surgeron
William Gord - Carpenter

Weak as an infant kitten (-2 to most physical activity, -1 to even the least strenuous activities)

If you really want to, replace "jaws of hell" with rampaging, pyromaniac travelers.

Also, I'll wait for winter to come.

[Iituem]

Wow.  You bought a tavern that got swallowed up by an earthquake.

Very lucky there, since most insurance contracts don't cover Acts of God.  Maybe you were able to argue it was an Act of Satan?  ;P

[areyoua]

Before he sold the tavern, he was going to burn it down and say that lightning did it, so he took out a [6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6] 200,000f insurance policy on the tavern. [1] However, due to poor book keeping (in the literal sense) and damp weather, 4 zeros simply fell off the notice, so only 20f was payed out.

I guess I'll always have this missed opportunity.

Character accepted... [1] Over time you have quite a number of students. Of course, they come and go, and it is always saddening to see one of your brightest prospects, Cristobal, go. Then one day, he crashed into your school, and demands a duel. Backed with a gang of thugs. It is an offer which you really can't refuse - what dishonor it would bring to one's teacher by refusing a student's challenge? It was not practical either, as the thugs are armed to teeth.

Then you lose. He did not duel fair - fairness was not a specialty of your school, to be, sarcastic, fair, but having 10 men hiding among the crowds at the duel scene is something that you did not prepare for. Perhaps this is why he was one of your best students. You barely escaped, but your title is now "Penniless Wandering swordsman".

Congratulations.

[Marklar]

((Allrighty, what a great start, and I shall now bother you with some questions. What area I start in, and did Cristobal only steal my school from me or also the leadership of the thugband?))

"Life isn't fair." yes, thats what Rubert said to himself after getting kicked away from his own school. It was my school, no, it IS my school, and I will have it back... someday. Alot of negative thoughts were running through Ruberts head before he finally realized that now, he was penniless, completely out of money. That wouldn't do, Cristobal would pay. He was good though, one of the best. Rubert had taken a liking to that one, and now Cristobal showed what he was truly capable of. In some odd way, hidden behind all that anger and hate, Rubert felt a little proud. It was, after all, his student that took away the school and not some random 'fancy swordsman'. Cristobal would make a name for himself in this wartorn era.
I have needs for a man like him, someday I will be the one to make him an offer he can't refuse.

But for now, he needed some cash, and after such a shameful event he could't go begging for money, he would get money all by himself. After all his family would need food too.

Rubert desperately tries to find some job that pays enough money to keep him and his family fed.

[2] Cristobal got everything you got. He even demanded, by means of a delivered-by-whatever-means-it-would-take note, to take Fiona as his bride. That would be a very politically motivated marriage; in other words, that would make his position much more legitimate. Plus he agreed to keep your family well-fed. It looks like he's only got a problem with you, you yourself, family excluded.
[2] You found a job as a cavaran guard. Too bad that the cavaran master was murdered on the morning of departure. Certainly Cristobal was behind this...
