Bandits and Mercenaries

[Nigel]

-------------------------------------------------------------- Mission #15 --------------------------------------------

Well, first on my list of waiting shipments are 100 boxes of honey. The Duchess of York is waiting for them for the wedding celebration of her son. The honey is worth 1500 Florins. The Duchess, however will pay well for timely delivery and a mercenary guarding the shipment will recieve 1000 Florins plus an additional 600 upon save delivery.

-------------------------------------------------------------- Mission #16 -----------------------------------------------------

The next mission is a shipment of dried fish, 200 boxes to go from the hanseatic city of Hamburg to Berlin.
The boxes are worth 8 Florins each. I am paying a sign up fee of 800 Florins and 400 Florins on delivery.
As I am worried that the fish, although salted and dried, might go bad, I will add another 400 Florins if the mission is completed before 25th August.

Signed up as Mercenary : Hamburg militia

-------------------------------------------------------------- Mission #17 -----------------------------------------------

And then there is a load of 100 boxes of white lace, to go from Brussels to Paris.
The hand fashioned lace is worth 16 Florins per box and I will pay a sign up fee of 900 Florins and a delivery bonus of 500 Florins.

Finally I have an announcement from the Guildmaster of the Mercenaries Guild.
I will pin it up here for everyone to see.


-------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement----------------------------------------------------

Hear ye, Hear ye,

The most honourable guildmaster of the Mercenaries Guild let it be known that the Mercenaries Guild is setting aside funds to instituate grants of money for their members in need of such. The fund is created to aid the forces of law and order and to counter the growing threat of increasingly powerful gangs of bandits roaming the lands.

Any member of the Mercenary Guild is elegible to apply for grant money of up to 3000 Florins .
The sole condition is that the money be used for the purpose of increasing the numbers and improving the equippment of the mercenary armies. The money shall not be used to finance castle enlargements or pay for personal luxury items of festivities.


The money shall be given as a grant, not as a loan, and hence no formal return of the money is required other than the faithful sevice to the Guild and the law of the land. Beneficients of the grant scheme will be listed in the Guilds records and, given a suitable period of time and given a successful development of their carrers, may be invited to make donations to the Guild in support of the Guilds junior members and to increase the glory and splendour of the Guild.

May the glory of the Guild be unsurpassed and know no equal,

Richard de Beauchamp, Master of the Mercenaries Guild


P.S. To supply the funds for the grant scheme, plans to extend and redecorate the Senior Member's Commonroom have been scrapped for the time beeing.

[Chimpyang]

I'll yttake Mission 15 Bandit

[Sociopsychoactive]

"What? AGAIN???!" Screamed Sociopsychoactive on hearing that another messenger had been killed and the body discovered this morning. "Why there must be a pack of bandits preying on them, but untill we get our messengers running safely again we can't do anything about it! Curse those lawless dogs!"

((As you guessed already, my comp went pop again. It is in the process of being repaired, but this may take some time. Untill further notice I am opting out of any missions.))

[Nigel]

Too bad, Socio, to be cut off from all messengers. Well, at least the occasional pidgeon message is getting through, But that is hardly enough to sign up for an escort contract. So I guess, I'll have to wait until you manage to set up camp outside of McGregor's bow-range


Chimyang, I've put you down for mission #15. Good luck without your Turcopoles.


Oh, and Guy emailed me. He is still having problems to login and post here. But told me he wants to sign up for mission #17.
