Role

Chapter 5

Father,

You would be proud of me, but I have become a
business owner for relatively little cost. You may
have noticed the public announcement from the royal
tax collector that several people were delinquent in
paying their taxes. Bazii, the royal tax collector,
hired me to recover the deed to a shop found in Akan.
I traveled to that dingy hole and spoke with Malkor,
and when he refused to cough up the deed, I applied
other persuasive techniques until he did.

Traveling back to Bazii, I offered to pay the dwarf's
back taxes in exchange for ownership. The tax collector
agreed, and for a 25000 copper (and the forfeiture of
of my collector's fee as a bribe to Bazii), I became
the owner of Malkor's shop.

I do not know how much revenue I will collect from the
general store, but if I can add a couple more properties
and disrupt some of their competitors, I believe we can
generate a steady flow of income we can reinvest into
your shipping company. A priority, of course, will be
to make sure that none of those magical flying ships
are not purchased by your competitors, but rest assured,
I will take care of that before it becomes a problem.
