  • A Letter to the Emporium

    Stouthammer Brewery
    Proudly Financed by the Skullcleavers of Whurest


    Trademaster Leithian
    Emporium of Avanthyr

    I've received a sponsorship offer for food and clothing for the refugees of Aquor.

    My sponsor is aware that I will probably be attempting to source clothing from Avanthyr, and was happy to leave the negotiations to myself for now.

    I do not know if you act as an agent for the House Meriadoc merchants. However, if you are looking to build some new vats, so to speak, I am seeking an estimate on availability and price for one hundred sets of winter clothing. There may be the option of further requests to come.

    The request is just for clothing held in Avanthyr, as I can check with my superiors regarding caravans to Aquor.

    May Stone and Good Ale preserve you

    Return correspondence is dispatched to Murin:

    Honored Brewmaster,

    While the Emporium itself does not specialize in the product you request, I would nevertheless be pleased to act as an intermediary between yourself and the merchants of Avanthyr in the procurement of such should you wish.

    That said, I have some small concerns that any deal between the Port merchants and Aquor may be in violation of the embargo on trade with the Thayans instituted by the Lady Evelyn Meriadoc in her wisdom. I would be most grateful if you would afford me some time to ensure that this humanitarian effort does not in fact represent unlawful proceedings. I would be happy to draw up a quote at that time.

    As an aside, the Grandmaster of the Northern Watch has asked that I see about restocking the Northern Watch with renowned Stouthammer brews. Specifically, 40 units of Sanctuary Stout and 100 units of Hold Ale. If you are able and willing to fulfill this request, please kindly direct a quote of potential cost.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    Sincerely,
    Leithian

      Your concerns are fair enough.

      The Stouthammer Brewery assures you that the goods are going to be handed out direct to the downtrodden poor, and not to any Thayan warehouse. Although we might get some stags from leading citizens of Aquor. In a sense, it's a cost to our sponsors, not a trade.

      However, if this ain't the flavor your Lady looks for in her ale, so to say, then so be it. I'd still be keen on a quote, though. There's probably going to be a Cheapside project coming up shortly.

      As for your own request, ay can cut you a deal on Sanctuary Stout. The Hold Ale's tight as it uses only the best ingredients, and it's all I can do to hold prices steady.

      And remember, a full 50 stags per pint from the Sanctuary Stout goes to buy provisions for those poor Avanthyran unfortunates in the Sanctuary!

      QUOTE

      100 pint keg of Hold Ale = 3900 stags
      40 pint barrel of Sanctuary Stout = 8100
      ---
      12000 stags total

        Leithian directs return correspondence.

        Honored Brewmaster,

        With reference to requested quote concerning clothing for the needy, I can offer twenty stags per unit. For a hundred units, the total would come to two thousand stags. Unfortunately, I have yet to find opportunity to clear this trade with the proper authorities; I shall contact you immediately once I have secured approval, assuming of course, that you find such terms acceptable.

        Regarding the purchase order for Stouthammer ales, the quote you provided is most satisfactory. I am available often in Avanthyr, and can be ready to complete such transaction upon your earliest convenience.

        Sincerely,

        Leithian

          Your terms for one hundred sets of clothing are acceptable, indeed. Let me know how the talks with your fellows fare.

          Your kegs of flavorsome mid-battle refreshment are prepared, and await pickup at the Brewery.
