The search for RME has been completed. SUCCESS!

Shamefully the adventure did not interest competing teams, so the only team was deemed winner and they can tell the story themselves if they like Wink

But they did receive a good payout for their efforts, as follows:

3,000 * RME "Methuselah" Rum
(product is not graded yet because only the King knows how it should taste)

The costs were as follows:
450 IC for acquiring the merchandise, die decided that it was cheap!
480*W1600 since if you take wine with you to a voyage, for sure it is consumed
80 mil for various costs and salaries
300 mil for Town import tax

No more of this Rum will be able to be brought to the Kingdom.
(both the product and the costs have been added/subtracted to Earl noms account, who will distribute them according to the team contract)

* - *

Tavastia and his party had too many business going on with windows to make it to the year-long journey to strange lands. But he fulfilled his threat to go to Amsterdam and have a nice time there. So his result is:

1,000 RUM "Rum"

Costs:
135 mil, which is mostly tax

Tavastia is offering his teammates, Knight serje and Ale of Nassau, the option to redeem up to 300 bottles each at cost = 135,000/bottle.
Others including restaurants may purchase it at 200,000 for some time at least.
All the dignitaries of the town have been gifted 2 bottles, and the King and Town 10 bottles each.

Perhaps a more important discovery were some green herbs that Tavastia chewed there. They made him feel Ancient again, with clear and lucid thoughts. There is now a possibility for a new voyage that might bring the seeds of these plants to the Kingdom, which might result in a whole new consumable, potentially useful for all!

Adventure Subgame - In Search For The Perfect Rum

Welcome to start the Adventure, as soon as the main celebration tonight is over!

This is the final expedition party!

There have been talks of rum in faraway lands. This excited Earl Noms, and he quickly started talking to interested parties who may like to join him on an adventure! Here are the details of the expedition:

Team

SirJacket will be the team leader. He will also bring along a 4-horse carriage and funds as well as IC. He has worked with Noms in the past and they have a good rapport.
Noms will be coming along because of his vast knowledge of land and land aquisition. His keen business sense will help in the negotations of the purchase of any rum, if found. He will also bring both funds and IC to the team, as well as a 4-horse carriage and lots of wine.
Mooo saw the expedition as a chance to get a taste of country life again. As a former cowherd, he is used to life in the fields. Mooo will contribute some moneritos to the expedition's funds, and will be sure to bring his natural history drawing books to capture some of the most striking animals to be found in the far lands.
Noms will bring along some of his military - a Lieutenant and 3 Privates. This is mostly a security force to help out in case there is trouble along the way before/after rum has been acquired. He will also bring along 2 Assistant 1's to help with the organization of the rum and helping facilitating the buying/negotiations.
cryptonic21 will be coming along on the expedition and bringing IC to help.
Jeeves - Level 8 Butler [NPC]
Jefferson - Level 1 Assistant [NPC]
Butters - Level 1 Assistant [NPC]
Dan - Lieutenant [NPC]
Tom - Private [NPC]
Jerry - Private [NPC]
Jones - Private [NPC]

Budget

The budget currently consists of 315.75M
- noms: 100M
- SirJacket: 165.75M
- moneromooo: 50M
The IC for purchasing rum currently sits at 1075 IC
- noms: 350 IC
- SirJacket: 500 IC
- cryptonic: 25 IC
- fluffypony: 200 IC

Supplies

The 2 4-horse carriages will be used to get to/from the seashore.
Noms will bring along 40 cases of 1600 Wine to help keep us in good health during the voyage.
We will be exploring the oceans abroad using a Carrack. During his travels, Moneromoo met many people, including a merchant who was indebted to him for some work Moo did for him whilst he was abroad. He offered us the use of the Carrack for the expedition for a small payment of moneritos (10M rental).

Quote

The largest European sailing ship of the 15th century is the Spanish carrack, easily outdoing the caravel in tonnage (more than 1000 tons compared to an average of 250 for the caravel). The Carrack quickly became the standard vessel of Atlantic trade and exploration in mid-16th century Europe.

This is the final expedition party!
