bypass Scagnar on this run. They are suffering an epidemic of Bazi Plague, and Kur attacks on

have DarKosis than Bazi Plague.

Forest, and makes people come to her.

guards. She don't come out of there, but she lets merchants come and go.

(14:02:06 ) Letholdus Merchant of Farnacium
is near the fire pit area of the Laurius Exchange Point
says to ____Panthera sincerus___: The Round Ship
The common cargo vessel that ply’s the thassa also comes in different classes, the most common
being of medium class. The round ship is not actually round but is wider in its beam than the
ram-ships that are her nemesis. They have deep holds for merchandise, and carry around 7500
Gorean weight, which works out to be around 100-150 tonnes. They are commonly two masted, with heavier, permanent rigging, but they are predominately oared vessels, having between 100-200 slaves who man them. There is generally a crew of around 20-25 sailors and their officers that are free.
Various cargos could include: precious metals; jewels; rugs; tapestries; medicines; silks;
ointments; perfumes; prize slaves; spices; canisters of coloured table salt; tools and stone; dried fruit; dried fish; bolts of rep cloth; tem wood; turwood; kalana stock, horns and hides.

says to Letholdus Merchant of Fa: Really? I was giving you that information about the plague and
stuff for free. I mean, *lets a trace of fear come into my voice for a moment* every ship that
docks there risks spreading the plague further, especially into the Forest. All I was doing was
my own self-interest. I mean, I couldn't really accept all of this, is that bosk meat, from the
Plains? But really, I couldn't ....
(14:06:04 ) Letholdus Merchant of Farnacium

says to Letholdus Merchant of Fa: Oh yeah, that is a beautiful ship. I'd hate to see something
like that floating around with a ghost crew that died of plague. Nice name too. A ship that just
fits into Thassa and doesn't disturb her beauty. Ok, if you insist. I appreciate it. But I have
a couple coins, I found. They're not any good here. Let me give you them as payment for all this stuff. I haven't had bosk-meat in *kinda giggles at what is obviously intended as a joke* almost three days now.
