So, I'm not going to be that guy, yet I am going to be that guy. A useful venture into how not to get in trouble from the law / fined for anyone who's wanting to craft things and sell them.
First off - I salute your endeavor into the world of production. Many a person vests their personal energies into other ventures for adventuring. It is those brave souls who toil for hours or at least 5 minutes to produce fine goods to keep their fellow adventures alive. No sense dying with gold in your pockets, neh?
To ask, are you a member of the merchant's guild? If so - excellent! I thought there was like two of us. If not, you cannot sell items at X4. You can sell to merchants at X2. Like myself. It is the way the law is set up. Fortunately you do not need to be a member of the Crafters guild to sell to Merchants. And honestly, the crafters guild doesn't really seem to offer much these days locally. Maybe in bigger towns. But since you are a Master scroll maker, I believe you'd qualify with some paperwork. Always paperwork.
So here's what we could do. If someone says to themselves "Gosh darn it, you know scrolls are handy as heck! Especially with all the elementals about, it'd be nice to have combat spells on hand to sort it all out!" Then they can place an order with myself. I can sell to them at X4 - buying the production items from you at X2. I'd even be willing to front you the production cost (out of the X2 I'd be giving you mind you).
Basically I can have you sell to Mixer Adventures Emporium and I work as the middle man.
If you like, I could just scout out people who need scrolls and place work orders with yourself. I seem to recall you having a shop, yes?
The alternative to this is getting a Merchants license, which requires you to have 20 gold. 10 for the license fee and having 10 gold for business capital - then of course, filing paperwork. Which is interesting since the merchant's guild master went away...
This is also true for anyone else who feels the need for crafting. I already spoke with an enterprising young woman who is interested in potion making and I've heard rumors of a few alchemist about.
Anyone who has need of production items, let me know private or publicly and I shall endeavor to make sure those with skills get work as I'll place orders with them.
Crafters craft - Merchant sells - Adventures get good that keep them alive. Works all around.
Please work out size of order - production value needed to complete said order.
If you are a crafter - please give me a good estimate of your crafting level and I shall work to match up orders to people who have skill. Again, I'm willing to front people money to craft if they happen to find themselves a little short.
Employees also tend to enjoy benefits like not being eaten by giant ants. Or perhaps tea at the Inn if Little is about.
