"I think I will sell my lumber." Ivan said. "It appears that vodka is worth more at the other port, da?"

((Reference: 'Lumber is 473 and staying the same in worth, vodka is 465 and increasing'))

He shrugged, "I don't mind either way" you can try and use the skill Sociability to try and bargain a higher price. It has a 75% chance of working.

"The vodka at the other port was more than the cost here." Ivan said. "If the price was increased a bit, I'd be more than willing to sell. It would be very good for both of us, da? You get more stock and I get some space in my boat."

It was successful and he thought it back, "Alright. I'll do higher, 690 sound good?"

"Sure! We have a deal then?" Ivan asked, smiling. He held out his hand.

The market keeper shook it, the goods magically appeared in his marketplace and you received 1,916 gold.

Ivan smiled and headed back to the boat, singing under his breath. He hoped his crew was there.

The crew where there.

Ivan stepped on the boat, but then gasped. "I forgot!" he said, pulling on the ends of his scarf. "I need to get a canon, and a weapon if possible!" He looked at the horizon. If he went and got supplies, how long would it be until they set off? There might be storms, or something of the like that might delay their progress if they didn't set out immediately.

it was night time, the sailors looked tired anyway. There were clouds, set to rain, but nothing bad. The gulf was good for avoiding very strong winds. You could get a weapon from the item store and a canon from the sailors area nearby, where things where build for ships.
