I don't trust Grom. 'Merchant' is just a word that means sanctioned thief; you can never trust a merchant. Ernst at least is trying to ascend above his base nature, and his name is even Earnest.
 
@Pillowsperky something to add with thyriol is that despite his brashness he did atleast think ahead in that before he went to lustria he studied almost religiously to understand the language of the lizardmen and there writing so it would look good on him to actually have conversation with his prospective mentors instead just having a translator on hand. Not knowing slann have telepathy but atleast it would help them decipher lizardmen script if they are on adventures looking for information.

Also with trying to get all that knowledge basically got him broke on money so he can't really come back empty handed.

These ones look like the most valuable to begin with. Anwen, Elena, and Briala can help Rapunzel explore the vicinity of our settlement, mapping out the place and identifying useful herbs we can use for our colony. Two are elves and the human's a nerd, so I think Rapunzel would vibe with them pretty well. Johann and Klaus, meanwhile, provide early security for our colony, dealing with dangerous creatures that threaten our people. Until Else and Gus set up something more permanent, they'll be quite valuable.

Keep in mind that adventurers are semi-disposable mini-heroes. My understanding is that they're good to throw at problems here and there, but big problems are tackled by our advisors, and adventurers can be expected to die semi-regularly.

I guess this professor is actually looking for the proof of skaven existence, he's not going to be happy to find out about the Under-Empire or that's a conspiracy in place to hide them from public eye.
 
  • The Jade Serpent Talisman: A small, intricately carved jade talisman in the shape of a serpent. Legend has it that this talisman was once wielded by an ancient high priest of a Serpent God, and it holds the key to unlocking the hidden temple deep within the jungle.
    17 Mo
  • The Map of the Forgotten City: A weathered parchment map depicting the layout of a long-lost Temple-City buried beneath the dense foliage of Lustria, West of the Colony's planned landing. The map is said to have been created by an explorer who stumbled upon the city centuries ago.
    20 Mo
  • The Crystal Eye of Tlaxtlan: A flawless crystal sphere imbued with ancient magic, claimed to have been crafted by the Astromancers of the rumoured Tlaxtlan. The crystal is said to reveal hidden paths and secrets within the jungle, leading to a secret hidden by Tlaxtlan's mists.
    16 Mo
  • The Amulet of the Sun Priest: A golden amulet adorned with intricate sun motifs, once worn by a revered Sun Priest of the Amazons. This Relic seems to reflect an image when held up to the brightest of sunshine. An image of shimmering light pooling in the hollows of a sun-topped tree.
    19 Mo
  • The Luminous Orchid Bloom: A rare and exotic orchid seed with glowing sides that shimmer with rainbow, rumored to germinate only within a secluded grove deep within the Lustrian jungle. The orchid is said to possess magical properties, its tea granting the imbiber long life and immunity to many ailments.
    16 Mo

You will be able to purchase up to 10 adventurers ('Hiring them') at an initial cost of 5 Mo each, with an upkeep of 1 Mo per Month.
Unhired adventurers will rotate through the colony via the tavern, travelling to your colony and to the others along the lustrian coast in pursuit of their goals.
Expedition Treasures are Expensive, and essentially lead into potentially lucrative or Unique Expeditions when researched, however keep in mind that Unresearched treasures will essentially be big fat targets for enemy agents and saboteurs to come steal or break, and some factions will become a bit ornery about their existence -and pursuing their secrets- without careful diplomatic maneuvering.

You do have quite a bit left, but then again I originally planned that amount to also include hiring Mercenaries.

You may still hire mercenaries for the 2nd Wave of ships, but that wave will be smaller.
 
Consider this a few hours of Moratorium, and then I'll make the real post and open up the vote.

May include Rapunzel Reactions to each treasure -and to the curio shop owner who sold them-.
 
Onw or two leades should be enough since we are going to need the money to build things and wages.

We should pick two leads for now with one of them being the Map of the Forgetten City expedition since it's going to lead to a city fill with gold, provided not being looted long ago, from the get go.
 
Not sure if suggestions are still being taken.

Name: Hiceh Nethereyes
Race: Elf (Druchii)
Career: Sorceress
Main Attribute: Learning
Description: Hiceh fled the Dark Convent while still a student to escape the others' plotting. Lustria promises to be a place where she can hide and pursue her passions for Ghyran and poison.

Agree, two leads are enough. Beside the map, i think we should also take The Luminous Orchid Bloom, feels like another potentialy extremely rewarding expedition. All the nobles and wealthy of the Old World would pay lots of money to increase their lifespans safely.
 
I think we'll want to go hard on martial adventurers while we're getting set up. Not all of them, just the ones that seem amenable to playing guard duty for a while. There's gonna be a lot of proverbial giant rats in the cellar without any mercenaries to cover for us, so we'll be relying entirely on them for security.

I think we should get this. If we encounter Amazons, I think they'd appreciate it if we give it back to them.

This would be an amazing gift to the lizardmen and tlaxtlan is the main temple city near us down south and they are the most friendly one. So i think we should take this and give It to the lizardmen after we find it's secrets. Also it's synergies with thyriol If we get him and its cheap.
