We could make an enterprise that dedicates itself to the draining of marshland,
making it availble as farmland, once we've cleared the dragon of course. On

"I have been saying so. We have plenty of things around that industry can
make profitable. I hope to find minerals to mine, we can farm somewhat. I am
hoping we can act as an intermediary between inland communities and the wider
world. I truly think we can make a go at ship repair and building, though not
so much building until we have the lumber. That requires capital outlay. But
the simpler stuff, fishing, farming, basket weaving from all the marshland
reeds, other agricultural enterprises, such as cheeses if we have milk to use,
mushrooms, herbs, fermented spirits. I've been talking about it for some time,
my thoughts on the subject are well known. And that is just what settlers can
do. We have John Mac and Hagar who could do well training fighting men.
Xander has an apprentice. Holly will be directing the less savory aspects of
society. You could possibly set up some sort of seminary. I am still
interested in establishing a library, assuming books can be secured. And
speaking of books, it is possible we can make papyrus from all the marsh reeds.
And, soon enough, we can sell loose dragon scales as souvenirs." Sean smirks.

"Yes, that's a bit what I'm afraid of." Elmore half murmurs, in reference to
Bonaluria's graciousness. "I really do need to figure out some revenue bringing
industries to help pay for her largese Right now, my income depends on loot of
foes. A cooper would be good though at some point, we need to have people
coming here to run their own industry instead of coming here to be on our
payroll. The whole town can't be on our collective payrolls. Eventually we need
free enterprise. Household wineries would need a cooper though. "

"You have a household already in being, my friend. I will have to make one
from the ground up. Nothing so fancy or important as yours, mind you. But,
with luck, it will be in the Cove. And those of your Guard who have wives and
families will help make the place more...human, I think. More friendly? more
attractive to potential settlers. And I have no doubt your Bonaluria will be
as gracious and giving with them as she has been with them all in the past."

"I have at least one bootlick that could make the purchases. Bonaluria was
nice enough to see to his outfitting so he looks good. I think Paris's former
valet should be familiar enough with weapons. I think I have him in charge of
church regalia, should we get some. Right now, he may be assisting Kendrick
and Beathan with theirs. It seemed a bit premature hiring so many servants, but
maybe Bonaluria will have grown to know and consider many of them friends
before any major changes. " Elmore

Sean nods. "Write down any specifics, I will endeavor to do what I can.
Remember, I am persona non grata at Arbogast's but I am sure I can find a straw

At the moment, Elmore feels he has a big enough payroll as it is. Perhaps you
could get more bows and arrows for his archers. Materials for them to make more
armor, weapons etc out of if needed.

Did Sean ever pick up that pendant he commissioned from Baltisar? Platinum
with the emerald? Just curious.
Anyone have any recruitment requests? And, if so, someone other than a
level-locked ranger will need to hire them... Perhaps Ahearn can do that for
those who need to, on their behalf, of course.
