WHAT: A formerly well appointed merchantman (Alphonse Sideris) displaced from Nevarra City to Cumberland has become increasingly desperate in the intervening years to diversify his interests. Diplomacy has offered use of the mercantile ship, the Basilia (currently among the Riftwatch fleet but unworkable due to her size), in exchange for a minority percentage interest in whatever she takes in.
Having already taken care of the finer points of the delegation—Sideris has agreed to reserve a small percentage of the hold for the trade for low-cost foodstuffs which will be sold to Cumberland at market minimum to create a stockpile for refugee relief and in case of extended siege, and that Riftwatch's Diplomacy department will be directly supplied with a cut of any luxury goods in order to grease future wheels that might require a wheel of fancy cheese or a bolt of silk—, Riftwatch will see to the initial recruitment of a crew.
FLAVOR: Talking heads with some gentle resource management on the side, but with room for more action-y approaches or hijinks if you prefer. You'll be provided a scenario overview and some choices to make regarding potential recruits, but the exact way in which characters handle that (and setting up a log/posts) will be up to you.
WHO: 2-3 slots, with preference for members of Forces and Diplomacy.
A report which summarizes the final hiring decisions is due by September 19th.
