Making Money the Honest Way

Nym wandered out of the city hall and into the streets uncertain what she should do next. "I'm going to make some money," she said to herself with determination. She sat down on the side of the road, pulled out some parchment, and began making herself a sign:

When Nym finished, she shrugged, pulled out her lute, and headed to the marketplace to set up shop. 

"We just need twelve people who really love their pets to stop by," she said, giggling, as she propped her sign up by the fountain in the market. She put out a bag for musical tips and began playing a variety of songs for passersby.

  2. Over the next few hours Nym is able to have a brisk, but not extremely lucrative, trade in contraceptive and STI treatments. She's booked for a couple birthday's tomorrow and the day after. Still, no one goes for the big ticket items.

  3. Cool! How much did I make? Any tips for the music?

    Nym sighed as she packed up her things. No matter where she went, genital-related supplies were always in the highest demand. And people always insisted on showing her their infections. She'd probably seen more genitals than Darvin, although his viewings were likely infinitely more pleasant. "Gross," she muttered to herself as she finished packing up.

    Nym still had a few hours before sunset, so she decided to ask around to see who would be interested in buying rituals, especially Bloom and Speak with Nature.

  4. After one day Nym was able to make...
    Roll(5d20)+0:
    9,19,17,3,16,+0
    Total:64

    Roll(5d20)+0:
    1,17,12,1,18,+0
    Total:49

    In total.

  5. Nice. How did I do asking around about who might be interested in rituals?

  6. Using a percentile dice:
    Roll(1d100)+25:
    10,+25
    Total:35, or roughly a 33 percent chance per hours
    So, considering three hours before sunset, you've made...

    Roll(2d100)+0:
    4,57,+0
    Total:61
    Which means one person asked you to purify water and gave you a tip!

  7. I'm going to hop on the ship thread now since Talathel and Evelaen spent the day researching!
