Small add-on to Chapter 304 of BoG (Patreon)

In Gadobhra, Baron William greeted his guests. Suzette had shown up at his door and walked in as soon as the door was opened. She curtseyed to the Baroness and then walked over to the wine rack, her professional eye finding the most expensive bottle. As the Baroness and Baron watched, she poured three glasses and served them.

Layla watched her move. She'd moved up again, somehow. More confidence, more grace. Layla would have clawed her eyes out from jealousy if they hadn't become friends. But being Baroness helped. A little. It was time she and the barmaid had another conversation about the best way to progress.

Suzette held up her glass. "I propose a toast. To the Royal Gnomish Bank of Sedgewick, which has just expanded to include the Hamlets, Gadobhra, and Rowan Keep inside its influence. And to the upcoming expansion. Our banker has proposed opening a branch here in Gadobhra." Glasses clinked, and while the women sipped at their drinks, Billy drained his and poured more.

"A Bank? Now things are moving in the right direction. What will it take to let us open up buying and selling from shops in Gadobhra to the rest of the Empire or grab real-world money? I want to crush all those little piss-ants who think they can keep me out of the markets."

Suzette and Layla shared a glance. Billy was at his best when he was in 'conquer the world mode.' "Same problem as finishing the keep. We need teleporters, and we need them tied into the Imperial System."

Billy was pacing back and forth. "One solution to many problems. Fine, I can work with that. Rolly is back, so as soon as Ben returns, we hit the ghouls, get all the pieces of the old teleporter, and give them to the crazy professors. They're putting together a list of materials we need. That leaves our 'special consultants.' Getting them loose will be tricky, but we have a working plan that's crazy enough that it might work."

He strode to the window and was joined by the other two as they looked out over the ruins of the City of Butchers. "We can do this. Money's tight, we don't have much time, and everything relies on crazed magicians and luck, but I've worked with less."

The Butcher of Sedgewick has deposited 51,500 gold to your account.

Sold: Three barrels of Trifecta bacon at 1000 gold pieces each for a total of 3000.
Sold: One thousand barrels of Sedgewick Sausage at 100 gold pieces each for a total of 100,000.

50% of sales x 103,000 = 51, 500 gold pieces.

Billy shared the notification with Suzette, his eyes blazing. "Well, money just got less tight. Tell Ozzy to talk to me about where he wants his Sausage Factory. I've got some building points to spend and know a good investment when I see one."
