Tom,
I will still be able to give and recieve doves, so if you need me, contact me.

and that goes for everyone else in gobiath as well.

Merri

An order has been placed, I require your response. A dove would be adequate.
I wish that the nature of my order to remain confidential.

- Avalyon el'Hattarr

Yes, I wonder what your stance is on supplying known criminals?
Skaalib

I second that notion.

~W.E~

Is he a wanted criminal currently? William, you saw him in town yourself and no alarms were raised.
Merri

Merri,

Don't worry, I shall handle this customer. I have discussed his order and I can fulfill it within seven days personally.

Speaking of customers, are there any other orders that need to be filled?

~Dusty

Edit;

Someone does make a visit..but just stays some time outside, listening.
Someone jawns audible, then leaves, smiling to oneself.

I decided to help the knighthood with providing food for the Knighting of Amroth, however, it seems my cooking skill are not good enough to cook the things I wanted to provide, but I do have all the required supplies to make the food including bowls and all the vegetables needed to make the soups so if any can just cook I will supply the goods. As it is for the Knighthood I would ask that the cook do this out of charity. Please if our cook could make himself available please send me a dove.

Zhambra's blessings,
Eli Travinus

Well Eli,

We have a cook?
Oh yeah, I guess "All the above-Dusty Bottoms" includes cooking.

I can meet you and we can whip up some tasty treats for the knights. If you'll supply material, I can at least cook them for you.

Soups, pies, cherry cakes and breads.
No problem.

See you soon,
~Dusty

Great all that is needed really is bread. I could meet you one dwarven day just before the the knighting of Amroth if you like. Just let me know how much dough you would need to make 30-40 bread loaves.

Merri,
I already have the sand for this, 1000 apple boards, 700 Naldor logs, 700 conifer boards and half the buckets. I will collect the naldor wood, make the rest of the buckets, and make those shovels. Meet you soon Merri!

Wow... looks like floor 2 will be ready to be built before we even have floor 1 ready.

~W.E~

Oh Merri, you've made a large mistake.

It's 950 conifer BOARDS and 10 LOGS.

Okay here is what we have left:

1850 apple boards
250 conifer boards
10 conifer logs
21 hammers
21 saws

These jobs are still avaible.
Merri
ps. dusty can we meet so you can give me the supplies?

The hammers and saws are done. I also have some apple and conifer boards. That leaves:
1750 apple boards
150 conifer boards
10 conifer logs

Eli you better claim them quick if you want them!
Merri

Thanks Merri what is the dead line on this order? I can get this in a week or so. Just let me know the deadline

Eli

Just as soon as possible. I like to get our clients their orders fast. But there is no said deadline.
Merri

Would it be possible to cancel the wood order?

~W.E~

Ah, this is difficult. Almost all of the wood has already been gathered. Dusty will you except your wood back? Eli are you okay with this? William, this is completely up to those two. If they disagree then we may have some problems and need to talk.
Merri

I dont mind what so ever I can keep the wood for myself. William was there a problem did we not get the wood to you in a decent amount of time I do say 6 days to gather 1750 is a relatively difficult task. However, as I said I could care less if he wants to cancel the order or not. This matter is up to Dusty to pursue further.

Eli

It's not the time, no. It's the price. Cutbacks mean that the wood would be very useful to obtain ourselves.

~W.E~

I see, well good luck chopping the trees.

Irmorom strengthen your hands

Eli

Hmm...this is difficult.

In business such as ours, we take a large order, and because the Order is too big for any person to complete themselves, we contract with suppliers to do some of the work. Sometimes, those suppliers in turn contract and purchase some of the wares from other (3rd line) suppliers and so forth.

The wood was a substantial order, one that needed multiple suppliers to obtain.

To suddenly cancel that Order at this point backs up and inconveniences all involved to collect it.

To pick and choose which 'part' of an Order you want to buy or cancel at a moment's notice is very frustrating.

I assume at the time the Order was placed, a Price was agreed upon. If so, there is a contract by us to deliver, and a contract by you to purchase. Editing halfway into our "obligation" is frustrating and difficult as you can see how this affects many others.

My nature is to say, yeah, sure...no problem. But....

Business is business. An Order was placed and we promised to deliver. A deal is a deal. What good are future Orders when they could be edited or even cancelled at the last minute. I would not like to continue business like that.

We are in business to supply customers with their needs, but not at the expense of hap-hazard deals, unreliable contracts and doubtful profits. We provide quality, reliable and fast service, and we should expect the same of those we contract with.

Nothing personal with the customer in qustion, but I say no.

~Dusty

I agree with Dusty on this one. William we will have to meet.
Merri

Fair enough. I wouldn't have thought it would be possible; I was just making sure.

~W.E~

Walks up to the board with a confused look on his face

We had an order?

-Tom-

Okay thank you for understanding Will. Eli, what is your status on the order? I will be done with the nails in about a couple of weeks. ((by the weekend probably)) Can you be done with the wood by then Eli?
Merri
ps. Tom! If you were around more you would have known! We had a huge order!
*smiles as he walks away

Yeah, take as long as you like. In other words, take long; I need to put together the money to pay you.

~W.E~

reads Merri's post and chuckles

I'm around... it's just hard to find me working...
