As you enter the boiler room, the hissing of steam and churning of machinery sounding around you, your eyes are drawn to across the metal walkway leading over the burbling water tanks. You see Yvonne(?), across the walkway, standing before a conglomerate of scabby pustules and creeping membranes attached to and enveloping the back wall of the chamber. She turns to face you, eyes wide in shock, her face partially distorting from the heat like melting wax. She stares for a moment.
"You... you shouldn't... be here. Please... please leave." There is a spark of arcane energy from Yvonne's simulacrum as it twitches violently. "You shouldn't- You shouldn't- You shouldn't- You- You- You- You- You-" Continuing to loop, she stares, unblinking.
Rowen follows the King downstairs into the boiler room.
Korangar leaves, figuring that yes, this is a bad time.

My cults are dead, let's talk about myself where they used to be. I am The_cool_Elsecaller, a transfem lesbian who is still in the closet to all but a few people I know IRL. I enjoy video games, reading, writing, and sleeping. Feel free to PM me if you want writing advice or just want to talk.

Neki looks surprised for a moment, as if he doubted that he would be allowed to open a store in the first place.
“Would I be able to have both a plot outside for a stall and a private workshop indoors? I would use the workshop to make wares to sell, and actually sell them at the stall outside the entrance. Spider Guild members would have a discount on said wares.”
"That would indeed be allowed! You'd have to do a bit of paperwork, and obviously pay to buy and rent, but if that works for you then I'm sure we can get it sorted!"
“Perfect! I’ll need a loan or something similar since I can’t afford much on my own.”
"In that case, I will sadly need to see some qualifications of some sort, or a way for you to prove that you have the skills to make money to pay off the loan. There'll also be a little extra paperwork on top of the stuff I mentioned earlier."

Neki rummages around in his purse (I forgot to mention he had one.) and pulls out some blueprints.
“I’ve got some blueprints for something you can strap to your arm to hold a baton or something similar. It’s not much but it might work.”

He takes a look at them, putting on a small pair of glasses. "And you can make this kind of a thing I assume?"
*Loving it, as long as you are. This is my job, you don't have to worry if I'm enjoying it lol. But its still really kind of you to ask, and I am having lots of fun rping with you :). Roleplay is my life lmao*

“I use to make stuff with whatever I had at hand, so yes I can.”
Neki smiles, makes sure all of his stuff in his purse is still there. His purse appears to be a bag of holding.
*omg Jarvo is giving me librarian vibes, I love it. Also, can you make an insight check?*
(I think that's just a evil idea, so here's something I came up with for Zeus when asked how to torture players and scar the PCs, Use a weak acid for Chinese water drip torture, keep them there for hours, they will most likely not die, just have minor physical scars major and mental scars. Use illusions to generate their worst fears as they get tortured, make them scarier and scarier as time goes on to build suspense, and keep them scared)

"Well then." He takes the glasses off, giving them a polish whilst he hands Neki back the blueprints. "A plot of land out the front is anywhere between 10 and 80 gold to buy, and a workshop costs 3 gold a week to rent. How much are you requesting us to loan you?"
*Insight! 21*

The Bag of holding looks to be nonmagical, but you can’t place how it became that way.
“I’ve been doing a bit of research on the prices to start a shop, and I’ll need about 50-70gp, to buy a cheaper plot of land and to build the forge and stall. I can cover the workshop’s rent for a few weeks. Is that too much of a loan?”
Neki looks worried about what Jarvo’s next response will be.

"Well, considering the likelihood of you Business prospering, a high loan can be justified, with 2 percent compound interest per month. But I also have to heed to the regulations, which state as you are a new member of the guild, and have not taken out a loan before, the Guild can't risk a loan above the per member limit to any one person." He mutters to himself for a moment, flipping through some documents and a big book full of the loaning regulations. "At the state the Guild economy is in, and the open gold in the treasury, we can allow a risk of 62.5 gp per member. Would that be enough of a loan for you?" He looks you in the eyes, peering through his glasses.

Yeah, all you need to do is make a character and then you can join! As for the Spider Tavern thing, its already been done once before, its better when we just keep it all together on one thread. And I don't think we need anymore taverns lmao, especially not ones made by me.

lol ok. How about a wolf spider? I have a bit of arachnophobia, and wolf spiders are known to be like, not that scary because they will genuinely become your friend, the poison is pretty weak, they don't spin webs so they won't mess up your home, and they're normally (but of course not in this case) completely solitary, they live alone in small burrows underground. They also eat pests like cockroaches
