Black Claws Mercantile Company RP

The tanarukk ventures into the mines which lie past the tunnels of the helmed horrors...only to discover they are empty. His bloodlust is frustrated, and the faint smell of fish usually surrounding the area is seemingly absent for the moment.
He then catches a strange sight of continuous thunder blast striking down from above:

He dispatches a message to jabbress Schezalle, remembering that his new mistress should be told as well:
"Skwid face and duergar gone from mine. Strange sparks konjured in mine, must be powerful magik. Hund."

[Tsidkenu]

"Report this to your other mistress immediately," she replied after considering what he said. "I will join her personally to investigate this matter if she believes it is warranted."

[Tsidkenu]

Shezalle entered the Luckhorn's Gullet together with a clearly mixed-heritage female after some kind of confrontation with her in Sshamath's marketplace.

Some time later the mixed-heritage would have emerged from the Gullet after some shouting heard from within. Schezalle would not emerge for almost two periods afterwards and when she did, she would look to be in a very annoyed, almost confused, state of mind.

[Tsidkenu]

After a significant period of absentia, the mistress of S'shamath's Black Claws was seen drinking to excess in the Gloura's wings while in the company of Irrtana Sshamath and another male drow. Later Irrtana would leave and Shez made some kind of bet with the male drow involving a poisoned ale and who was the greater liar. Schezalle left the bar highly intoxicated and the male drow also left alive, seemingly unharmed by his spiked beverage.

A hooded jaluk bearing the Insignia of Bregan D'aerthe would approach the Black Claws stall within the bazaar of dark weavings. After a brief look over the wares put for sale he would speak to one of the guards ...

"I would like to speak with your mistress. Business matters that i am sure she will be interestet to hear. Is she available?"

[Tsidkenu]

"How lovely for Bregan to pay me a visit... finally," comes a voice from the tent. "Do come in. Enlighten me with your fabulous proposal," she adds somewhat dryly and gives her slaves the 'get lost' stare. They quickly scatter and busy themselves with other duties while their mistress discusses business with the visitor.

Best to shoot me a PM cuz I know its rather difficult for our timezones to align favourably!

[Tsidkenu]

After being absent from active trading in Sshamath for approximately two progressions, rumours once again float around the Dark Weavings Bazaar that the devious Mistress of the Black Claws Mercantile Company is in negotiations with the 7th Circle to obtain a permanent trading outpost in a majorly-trafficked thoroughfare of the marketplace, unlike her earlier short-lived venture.

Preparations for its establishment have already begun as dozens of servitor slaves and couriers run hither and thither, fetching requests, prices and all manner of exotic items found in the immensity of the Bazaar.

After being absent from active trading in Sshamath for approximately two progressions, rumours once again float around the Dark Weavings Bazaar that the devious Mistress of the Black Claws Mercantile Company is in negotiations with the 7th Circle to obtain a permanent trading outpost in a majorly-trafficked thoroughfare of the marketplace, unlike her earlier short-lived venture.

Preparations for its establishment have already begun as dozens of servitor slaves and couriers run hither and thither, fetching requests, prices and all manner of exotic items found in the immensity of the Bazaar.

Highlighting the positive outcome of the negotiations, Circle agents can now be seen guarding the brand new Black Claws stand, keeping a good eye on the merchandise and the slaves, as well as relieving Schezalle of unwanted attention should she ask them to do so.

[Tsidkenu]

After recent vandalism of the Black Claw's Emporium signage, an inquiry was made with the stall's 7th Circle guards as to the identity of the perpetrator.

((You know who you are. PM me with details thanks! ))

"Damaging infrastructure under 7th Circle's guard? I have the feeling there is someone with a par of limbs too many. A problem that is easy enough to solve."

[Invoker]

As a consequence of the recent accident that befell the mistress of the Black Claws, there are now never less than four fully armed 7th Circle guards constantly taking care of her safety as she conducts her business in the Bazaar. Two of the agents are tasked with escorting her wherever she wants, when she commands it.

[Tsidkenu]

The Black Claws Emporium has seen a significant increase in trade in the last few cycles that its Mistress has gone and hired two additional employees. Both free non-drow residents signed their own respective contracts of employment, copies of which were forwarded to the 7th Circle for the sake of records and transparency.

Fourteen demi-human slaves- four bugbears, three kobolds, six goblins and even a minotaur were later delivered to the Mercantile Company from Sshamath's slave pens. All but the minotaur were later removed to holding pens in the Darkwoods, being readied for transport to some other location.

[Tsidkenu]

For some inexplicable reason, the Mistress of the Black Claws has hardly been seen in the city of late. Her stall is being reliably managed by a half-drow and an imaskari, both free-willing employees of the Mercantile company so orders are still being processed and gems being bought and sold.

For the more observant, her absence seems to be coincidental with the as yet unannounced disappearance of another prominent figure within the political scene of Sshamath, one with whom the jabress was most intimately acquainted.

[Tsidkenu]

With rumours circulating of the decease of the warrior known as Blackblade, the Mistress of the Black Claws Mercantile Company can once again be seen tending to her stall in the Bazaar. She remains silent about the matter, of course, being mute and all. Only time will tell how it will all play out, and what other rumours will begin to float about the Dark Weavings Bazaar about the mysterious ex-duo.

In other news, an embalmed orc head now decorates the stall of the Black Claws' Emporium. The story behind it also remains a mystery. For now.

[DarkLeaf]

Not long after the appearance of the Orc head, Nym the Necromancer has been seen loitering across from the stall quite often. Those that take note of him will find that he watches the interactions closely at the stall and keeps eye on those that pass close to the stall. It has been said that his hands go to his rapiers when ever the negotiations get aggressive.
