  I can also take some food at the 2:1.1 rate from you.  But I don't think I can take the full amount as last time.  Probably 50k if you're interested?  That'd be 27,500 gold this turn.

Done! Second breakfasts, indeed!

  Would you like to wrap up our 3rd turn of consecutive trade?  50,000 food for 32,500 gold?  As per the rules, we'll have to sit out next turn before starting up again...!

SO-HA

OK lets go again 50,000 food for 32,500 gold. Now do we wait one turn to start again or one season?

My interpretation was a single turn and not a full season.  We can sit out one turn and start again if you like.

   I'd be happy to buy that from ya.  12.5k this turn?

UN-HA

No trade this turn, my furry footed uh... neighbor. I am training a herd of rats that my diminuative troops can ride and they ate all my cheese.

I believe the going rate is 13,750 (2:1.1) which I am happy to confirm if that works for you.  You are one of the most busybody trading Halflings I have ever seen.  Tip of the hat.

   Unfortunately, the rate of 2:1.1 is for the 2nd consecutive month of trading.  The exception to that is if I am given a village in your region to balance out my production, at which point your default becomes 2:1.1 followed by 2:1.2 and 2:1.3.  I'm happy to entertain a village of your choosing in Pellinor?  Ohh, with your bounty spells, we might be able to up your percentage even more. Ohhh, i like that.   We also like the water.   There's going to be a whole write up of what I was experimenting with after this game; complete with diagrams, charts, bards, wenches, and ale...
Let me know what you want to do, I'm sure we can come to a very beneficial arrangement.

Oh who am I kidding? This rat idea will never work. My armies are poo.

I do have one trinket a military kingdom might like.

Who wants the standard of valor? I'll trade it for 75k gold. Before you say, "Pine, my man, that is too high!" think of the cost of armor, a forum and a forge... and the standard is cheaper and better (and transferable). And one more benefit that I don't think is listed in the literature (shocking)... read for yourself: "Waving in the wind, the Standard of Valor bolstered the Underworld patrol with hope." (Hint- I think it gives an advantage in unusual sightings, not listed in the excel artifact doc).

Let me know. UN P.S. This includes a guarantee I will not steal the standard back ever. Everyone will know its number, of course, but I will not use any agent to regain it (no fingers crossed, no nothing. This is a guarantee.)

    No worries on the trade, shadow master.  We can restart later.  The winter months are usually hard to come by.  Which reminds me.  Since we're doing trade together, will you be receptive to hiring our your talents?  I have nothing in mind right now, just curious if the option was on the table.
