This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

After the others leave, Carus freshens up and heads for a thermae known by him to be frequented by others with trade interests.
He spends that evening relaxing in the baths while keeping his ear open for any lucrative trade possibilities regarding transport of goods to Mauritania.

If none present themselves he will go the next morning to his contacts (mercantile allies) and/or Father (not sure if the family has a ship available or captains that we deal with on a regular basis).

(I would like to be the middle man...locating some goods that need transport and finding a ship capable with room for passengers. Maybe I can buy out someones interest... I can help crew a vessel  acting as cook/medic/able bodied seaman as well.)

Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

While relaxing and socializing in the tepidarium you over hear an Egyptian man who is trying to find interested parties in his papyrus business.

All Quintus plans on doing is daily training with his men, along with keeping an eye on the crew, our cargo (each of us pulls guard duty in the hold on a rotating basis), and our clients.
