RP Tavern (Name never set in stone!)

[George Mills]

George bites down on the stick, looking warily at Carn.

[Carn]

(Carn) "I may be able to get powders there, but why do you think so many Angleans raid? We've got a lot of old tech, but not a lot of resources. The metals would be high priced up there, but I know a guy in the guild who owes me a few favors. I'll hit him up." pours the vodka straight into the wound, then dabs at it with a clean cloth. "What the hell did you do George? I'm smelling engines from that wound, grease and oil."

[ShadedExalt]

"Yeah, but there are still tons of trading opportunities.  In your own way, you're as isolated as Chaladon.  I can get powders from Yesha, they experiment with all kinds of crap in the weapon labs."

[Carn]

(Carn) "I'm not saying you couldn't get the materials from there, but the isolation and the demand makes the prices pretty steep." scratches his chin "Ingur may know, more women are traders in Anglea then men, she has a few friends who do trade runs."

[ShadedExalt]

"Not even materials, and even then, who said I couldn't ship them in?  But yeah, I'll talk with Ingur.  So, can I have a rundown on how you do this?"

[Carn]

(Carn) "The smelting? It's like cooking, you follow the recipe with the right ingredients at the right amounts. Only you don't want to eat this stuff."

[ShadedExalt]

"Yeah.  Or just write down a list on how to do it.  I really want to try those H.Flak rounds I mentioned..."

[Carn]

(Carn) "Give me time to work it out first, there's some variation mentioned. I'm not sure they were able to get the exact amounts down. Empire's aren't built in a day, besides, I'd rather we start on smaller round then heavy flak. Less likely to kill us."

[George Mills]

George takes the stick out of his mouth momentarily.
"Dowlais put a forge on my ship...it blew up one of my engines, Dowlais only got singed, but I got shrapnel in the shoulder."

[Carn]

(Carn) "A full forge? Near the engines? Bound to have an explosion. I'm all for having a small forge to make quick repairs on the ship, but a full forge is to risky. At least with the ships we're flying," looks over at Dowlais "You ever fly on a ship before? You may be able to set a forge up on a galleon, but the other ships are a tad small. Well, I suppose you could on a mobula, but it would be more open."

[ShadedExalt]

"And have YOU crewed on a Mobula?  It's delicately balanced.  Too much weight either end..."

*Shaded makes a flopping motion with his hand.*

[Carn]

(Carn) "That's why I said possible, theoretically you could, but it would need to be balanced properly. In any event, none of us have trade ships. An open forge on a warship, which is pretty much all that is flow, would be a prime target. One explosive round to a forge and BOOM."

(Ingur) slowly walking down the stairs with her carbine in hand she asks "Can't a girl get some sleep?"

[ShadedExalt]

"...I have a trade ship."

[Carn]

(Carn) "Really? Though I saw you using a galleon in the battle. Modified for trade? Most warships simply don't have the cargo space to be effective traders. I can carry some cargo on the Valkyrie, but she's a warship. Trade ships have more space, but considerably less armor and armaments."

(Ingur) grabs a glass of water "Mind keeping it down?"

[ShadedExalt]

"I have most of a fleet.  Mobula, Goldfish, a homebuild Junker, Galleon, Pyramidion... Everything but a Squid and a Spire.  I have a Galleon with the 4 bottom gun mounts removed and the rest of the space enclosed.  Holds just about anything."
