( I didn't think this thread would be long enough to put into the In-Character Section so I started it here. If I am mistaken just let me know.) *When Benoit finally gets the chance to bargain with Alexander he is very polite and charming to the magus...probably making small-talk with him initially before trying to strike a deal* "Sodales I am interested in your Hippogriff egg and with a bit of negotiating your companion was willing to sell the egg for 12 vis. Still, I have access to some valuable faerie ingredients that I am willing to part with and supply to you for...*Benoit rubs his chin*...ten years if you are willing to sell the egg for 6 vis? I have used these faerie ingredients and I assure you they are a great boon to a magi's lab work. They will add quality to your work and save you resources I assure you. So what do you say?" (This is a starting point Yan. I am not entirely sure the value of something like faerie ingredients although I know they are pretty great for a lab with some minor warping as the only down-side. If Benoit can make a roll to get a better idea of their value in relation to Vis quantities let me know. Otherwise I am going to start with a simple bargain roll to get things rolling) Ok Benoit rolled rock-solid (roll 9 + Bargain 4 + Com 2 = 15). invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4753895/

(Let's assume something like 1 pawn for 1-2 years of faerie vis supplies, a pessimistic offer would have you offer him the ingredients for 10 years and cut 5 pawns off the price of the egg, for a final price of 7 pawns. Your good roll is somewhat balanced by his complete lack of interest in faeries, so unless you would like to find another solution, I'm willing to say he went for the 6/6 approach. What do you think? If you have another idea on how to reduce the price further, like a solid argument or pitch, by all means, let me know and I'll consider a bonus to your roll. Alternatively, you could just spend a Confidence Point and get a discount of 5 pawns for a 7 year faerie ingredient contract.)
"Sodales, I am flattered by your interest and your proposal, but my interests lay as far away from the fae as yours from underground pits, I'm afraid..." He eyes Benoit's gentle and honest expression and sighs. "Oh what the hell, it'll be harder to sell the egg if it hatches anyway. We have a deal, my friend, and I hope we can make more business in the future!"

We have a deal, my friend, and I hope we can make more business in the future!"
*Benoit's expression lights up when Alexander agrees*
"Ahh I am very pleased Sodales, I have a nice warm spot in my lab to keep the egg until it hatches, and I would very much enjoy doing business with you in the future! To sweeten the deal for both of us let us correspond...in Muto perhaps? I imagine with your affinity with animals that Muto is an essential art...am I mistaken? Where might I reach you to do business in the future? I must see to it that your ingredients reach your doorstep. Ohh *he smiles* Do you happen to know an expert I might hire that can train a Hippogriff?"
(Ok the terms stated are acceptable to Benoit. He will supply Alexander with faerie ingredients for 10 years and he will lower the Vis price by 6. That means Benoit will owe him 6 Vis of a type that Benoit would obviously have access to. I will adjust Benoit's future Vis awards along with the Vis he is acquiring for Jason and his longevity potion once you respond here)

Ok Benoit paid his debt in the following pawns that he had available (3 Animal / 3 Auram). If Alexander insists on some other Vis type it will just require some shuffling.

Were you thinking what I am thinking..... how about 3 Animal vis rather than 3 Vim? Since it sounds like we are going to be running short on Vim. Also, do you mind if I create a basic Hippogriff since it might be useful to have his/her stats for future reference. I am imagining Benoit will be using this steed for distant missions.
