Title: Vendor Quest 2! Keep On Shopkeeping! (Now with a map)
Post by: Hanged Hourai on December 27, 2010, 09:49:10 PM
>You are a resident of Gensokyo living in a tree house inside the Forest of Magic. You are a vendor, selling whatever items you have to the residents of Gensokyo to make a living.
>Your operations are somewhat limited, you have enough reputation to get notes and request your services, but not so that customers come to you, so you must go to them. At the moment, you can only carry objects that can fit in your cart that you take everywhere.
>Your tree house is good sized, making a good base for you and your companions.
>You have no danmaku skills at all, making you a squishy target..
>You live with a fairy named Tear, who you helped clear out the house. You also live with Rook, a formerly homeless boy who helped save Tear and has a good bit of street smarts.
>After a certain number of actions, the day will end and you will have to go back to your current lodgings and sleep.
>Your will gain more inventory by either random events or by going and looking for stuff in your surroundings which will take up a good portion of your day.
>Currency of the land is gold pieces.
>At the end of each day, 10 gold pieces will be spent for food.
>Your goal is to find a new base of operations and become a well-known shopkeeper in the Land of Gensokyo.
>Recently, you recieved a mysterious note from Alice asking for rare plant ingredients.
>In two days, there will be a full moon in which you can harvest one of the plant ingredients.
>Also, you suspect Tear has been the target of an assassination for her previous antics.
>You just woke up today and are deciding where to head out for the day.

(this is just a test picture, I'll refine it pretty soon)

>HOLD IT!
>Screw that unabomber cabin in the woods. We got Meiling to visit. She's got stuff for us. Or so she claimed.

>Rook: "Do you want me to come with you today? I can also go out and look for wares. Don't forget, I am your employee, so it would totally acceptable to send me out on an errand or talk to associates."

Oh, well then. Now I have a better understanding. Still, best not to let Tear die.

For sheer profit, It's go what I said before: gather two of the ingredient each and send Rook with one set to Eirin and go personally to Alice with the other. We get two payments and probably an angry Eirin who can't do anything to us. a win win. Cause I'm SURE that Alice asked her for those.

Smoku, et al: This is Da Plan:

A. We set up a mushroom pipeline between SDM and Marisa. That should stay reliable for awhile. We'll see how fast SDM goes through them, and expect some variance based on tastes and frequency of use.

B. We use Rizune's services until she wants to light out on her own, or others learn about her and cut us out of the picture. Should she want a cut of the profit, we try for 50/50. Go down to 40% if she insists. Later on, maybe help her set up shop in Human town.

C. Let Rizune and Rook each get 33% of the vase take. It's Rook's powder, he found it. And Rizune restored the vase. We just played fixer.

D. Let's look into buying some land in town.
