If there is a gm who can pop in and help Andrew, he's on West, thanks much.

Ty was bank chest bugged twice, thought it was my fault for logging out near a bank. Got it fixed and moved on. Now, Andrew is bank chest bugged, and he hasn't been in game in a week, and the last time I left him he was fine - he logged in the buckle lounge.
All three times neither character can use any chest in game, regardless of location. The bug locks them out of opening anything (not just bank chest). The error message says "You are already using a bank chest" even if I'm trying to open a cabinet in the Buckle.
Asking for a look into this please.

With Minerva stepping down as an active gm, who will be taking over the famine-related side of the dark elf happenings currently ongoing, or should questions about that continue to go to her?

In cramped script.
Sirs or Madams
There is a three-story tower off the main road on the Dapplegreen side of the Gloom Woods that's impounded by the church and vacant. I am interested in buying that property.
I will travel to Fort Vehl to meet in person because there's probably a bunch of legal stuff to talk about, so requesting some time in your schedule.
Thanks for your consideration
Ty Reid-Dragonheart

Just about one year ago today, Orth posted for assistance keeping Layo running. Per his calculations they'd have enough to run the servers for a full year. By my calculations, it's time for we players to pony up some Trues for another year. Someone told me once about a "donate your level" thing, and so that seems like a great idea. To kick this off: Andrew, thirty-one plus Ty, fifteen plus Mari, ten = fifty-seven dollars donated to Layonara. Heh, should be fifty-six so one bonus dollar!

In addition to the securing of an immediate food source and trying to become mushroom farmers, the Buckle crew starts the long process of testing a solution to the famine-starved land. Fertilizer, worms, prayer, and a plot. Oh, and labor - a lot of labor. The soil can support healthy plants, if it is turned with good soil and lots of manure or compost. It's time to test that and the Buckle crew fans out to find a way.
Charlie heads to Farmer Part's lands to see if the adventurer-friendly old man will allow the test to be done on his acres. Kat makes contacts with stables and other places manure might be found as well as any other ideas she has for getting fertilizer. A lady new to the Buckle, Lilah, agrees without hesitation to try and find healthy worms - she must have been a tomboy as a child, the bard thinks with a smile.
It's a long shot but if the method works...he must find Jil again, and see if he can find Connor or Brisbane. Aden was planning a meeting to that end soon, wasn't he?

Awaiting Vell's return from Stone, the Buckle crew and a few new faces get to work. One hundred and fifty thousand True later they have a month's supply of grains for the soup kitchen and Buckle, and an intermediate plan...mushrooms.
Glitch, Ty's student - it makes the bard smile to hear that, although he does not pester the pale elf for news of his son no matter how much he wishes to - is to find edible mushrooms and spores for seeding. Kat is on poo patrol with Charlie, getting what manure they can for growing. Gala makes a visit and agrees to discuss import of foods from the deep gnomes of Beryl. The bard hopes she can bring back spores as well, for the Deep mushrooms grow much larger than those on the surface. Melody heads out to find more on growing mushrooms as well, in case Vell doesn't make it back and to supplement whatever the elf might find.
Andrew and Elly start prepping the storage room. It's large enough to hold layers of growing areas, and they fashion trays and gather branches to spore. The elf wizardess uses magic to adjust the temperature while the bard uses old-fashioned water buckets to introduce humidity, and the room itself is windowless and below ground and has no other mushrooms growing in it. Glitch mentions that other fungus can be a problem, but hopefully they'll know more when Vell and Melody obtain what information they can. Michael and Edward along with the stable boy are put to work compiling compost, for the Buckle itself is a great producer of wastes.
And he prays they return soon. They have a month to get the mushrooms growing, and the soup kitchen - a lifeline to some of the much fewer people still in the city - folds.
No pressure.

Still can't come in the Buckle though.

[SIZE=18]Fashion is ephemeral, dangerous and unfair. It is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.[/SIZE] Andrew Reid hosts a fashion show at the Silver Buckle. Come model your finest couture. Judging will be done on the outfit, not the body underneath it. Audience invited to vote for their favorites in three categories. One judge still wanted. Create in cloth, leather or metal. Mix media. The possibilities are endless. Awards in the amount 2000 True for best female (judged), best male (judged), audience favorite (female), audience favorite (male), and Best of Show. Winning outfits may be purchased with barter credit (with agreement of designer) by the Angels Guild, to be sold as exclusive original designs in our Port Hempstead Fields shop. No dark elves. Orc and goblin bloods by recognition only*. Giant kin okay. //This is an ideal way for a newer character to make some quick coin and (possibly, no promises) get their rp xp switch turned on. The new loom is fun. Get a cheap outfit and play. Create, invent, reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Improvise. Become more creative. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Evolution is the secret for the next step. *Characters known and accepted by Andrew, Jetta, Elohanna, or by petition from a Silver Buckle renter.

Patrons - for as long as we've been able, we've provided drinks either very cheaply or gratis.
With the current situation in Mariner's Hold and the famine this must sadly end. We face supply issues, my friends. Rest assured we are working to resolve this but for the time being we must begin to charge to cover the costs of obtaining brewing materials.
We appreciate your patronage and your patience while we sort this out.
Sincerely,
Andrew Reid
The notice is shared with the entire Buckle staff and renters; servers are made aware that they can let people know before they start to drink.

Daylight seeps under his door and he's not slept at all. A night of writing letters to any food vendor he knows, to Denock Wisefoot of Wisefoot Trading, to White Mouth Harbor, to Bydell...anywhere he might find a source of sustenance. The fishermen he'll deal with in the...oh, yes. Well. In a half an hour, probably.
Despite his depression, despite the music that he feels unable to make, he is hopeful. They've come, his Bucklers; Charlie and Kat, Rook and Melody, the Captain, Vell, even Keela and SehKy have thrown their hands into the effort. And his wife, trying so very hard to help him, and this once completely unable. He aches for her. A healer who cannot heal, even as he is the cause of her pain.
It doesn't change anything to know that. No music he makes will ever come close. He is a fraud, and he's passed up perfection in favor of his moral compass. He can look at himself in the mirror. He just doesn't want to.
Enough. There is too much to be done to indulge in another round of pity-me. That hundred thousand dollars he didn't spend is about to be put to use, for he's certain the fishermen will not part with their catch cheaply these days. He and Minu are handling that as they are well-known on the docks. Melody and Kat have agreed to go to the merchant's quarter and take note of the vendors, what they're selling, and to ask about what farms are still farming and what farms are failing and who's already left. Keela and SehKy are going to spend some time in the poorest parts of town learning what the people really need, what they really want, so the soup kitchen does what it needs to do and not what he thinks it needs to do. Vell has agreed...well, that's not quite right, he's been voluntold to figure out how to mushroom farm. They grow fairly quickly, after all, and he can cook the pits out of a mushroom. Good protein, excellent flavor...Melody's idea to rent the warehouse and use it to grow the mushrooms until they have a food supply is brilliant as well. Another ripple of hope, not a wave but he feels it. He has good friends. It is a blessing.
Argali has proposed some locations to put farms that are not targets for the dark elves or the pit moths, one of which she's visiting - Bear Island. If farms there can be protected from bugbears, they're certainly out of the way enough to not attract attention.
One last letter to write and it isn't long. He seals it with a read wax clef. Instead of her name, he sketches her on the envelope - the curved ears, the flowing hair, the luscious figure draped strategically in green...alright, perhaps it's a bit much detail, and perhaps he's spending too long getting those details just right. He's tired and making mistakes that have to be re-drawn. That's his story and he's sticking to it.
And...there. A black bear by her side, and it's done. He prays a moment that she'll answer, and she'll know. He's prepared to bankroll a lot of testing to bring those farms back. It all depends on knowing how.
For the hundredth time he picks up a cigar, then puts it down. Lola is in here, curled in his red chair and fast asleep. Minu does not like him smoking around the child; she begs for a puff too often. So long as she's in here he cannot indulge and his teeth are starting to itch from want. Which means time for Miss Lola the night owl to be taken to bed and for him to get started on his day.
Night owl. That's a good name for her. His little night owl...

...now that we're all post stuffing and wondering if we can fit in another slice of pie (no, but give me a few minutes), Happy Thanksgiving to all the Yanks out there.
btw, deep fried turkey...rocks. And I didn't burn the neighborhood down.

The Silver Buckle is looking for the fashionably inclined, two minimum, to judge an upcoming fashion show. Contact Andrew Reid if you have the eye and the attitude to scrutinize.

Word gets around that Andrew and Elly, both of whom have been spending a lot of time at the Inn with their adopted daughter while Andrew campaigns for Arelius Witherspoon to earn a council seat, are making a push to finalize their compliment to the Silver Buckle clinic and Sanctuary - the Silver Buckle food kitchen.
All Buckle renters, benefactors, and owners are invited to attend as plans are laid.

The lovely blonde wanders her new room with a smile bright and infectious. He's feeling a bit insufferable and can't stop grinning as he pens a note to Steel.
Steel
You have a new tenant. Her name is Jenna Gale, I have rented her the first curtained suite past the by-the-night room.
She's quite delightful and flirtatious and has said she's willing to brew and cook and act as a bartender or waitress as well; I have paid what I believe to be a month's rent for her, two thousand True, in the display case behind Lily's station. Beyond that I'm sure you can work something out to mutual satisfaction. I gave her a tour and set her loose in the kitchen.
P.S. I think she and Sebair will get along famously.
Your fellow Innkeep,
Andrew
Humming as he seals the letter in red wax, he sets it with Lily to deliver when her employer returns. He leaves Jenna unpacking and cooing over the luxury of her expansive and immaculately detailed space and heads into the Leringard night with a wicked grin.
Yep. Still good to be him.
