Nightbreeze Trading Company

by Revered Father Darcell Durros

The day started with a rather dramatic entrance by General Gheldieg into the temple of Helm. The missing body left everyone, especially Malakai and Camila, perplexed. With the body hidden in Ellis' bag of holding, the tension escalated as Malakai, Gheldieg, and Camila couldn't find any evidence of the deceased miner. After a brief exchange and much confusion, they left the temple.
 
Meanwhile, Mezo and Haldir visited Lady Crimmor's residence. During the meeting, Haldir presented the lineage papers to Lady Crimmor, which she promptly declared as fake. She expressed her surprise and denied any involvement, suggesting that it might have been her husband, Caius, who commissioned the forgery. Speculations arose about Caius possibly having an affair with his son's fiancé and Lady Crimmor's relocation to Eshpurta.
 
Negotiations ensued with Lady Crimmor regarding the shipping business. Haldir and Mezo discussed the terms, and it was agreed that Lady Crimmor would front the coin for five sailing ships. She would receive a 25% cut as her initial investment, which would later decrease to 20% after the loan was repaid. Mezo also managed to negotiate higher wages for the workers, which would result in a 5% cut from both parties.
 
The group reconvened to prepare for a meeting with an arbiter and representatives from various houses, including the Nashivaar family represented by Malakai. To bolster their position, Haldir was enhanced with a spell for ability, and Ellis, Mavros, and Haldir were bonded together with a magical connection.
 
The negotiations began with an intense atmosphere, and the group was ready to face the challenges ahead.
