AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic

An intricately designed, and artistically rendered sign would be placed in the Cordor Merchant Hall by the Artist known as Roach.
Those who don't know her as such would see a gray-skinned woman with messy long black hair placing the sign.

Quote:

I, the Artist Roach am available for personal projects. I can paint your likeness, your friend's, or, better, your enemy. I specialize in political satire and relish the idea of creating something provocative.

I have had many satisfied customers, and some of my pieces have sold at auction to raise gold for causes I deem important.
At a recent auction, one piece sold for 300,000 gold pieces, and the owner still displays it whenever possible.

I would like to create something for you, the People of Amia. Commissions begin at just 100,000 gold pieces but we can speak of details privately.

Leave inquiries at the Nomad in Cordor, Griff can send word to me.

(The sign is signed with the symbol for Roach, which is, in fact, a drawing of a cockroach)

*a unsigned note with a common handwriting is pinned to one of the notices*

By the gods, am I happy you chose to become a Painter and not a baker..

For that amount of money one could buy a few ships, and start a fishing company.

Damn adventurers, making fools of us "normal" people how poor we are, and shoving it up our noses.

Quote:

Well, there's a big difference between food and art, though, I'm sure there are some restaurants that might charge more than a few coppers for the meals they prepare.

Also, you seem to either claim to be downtrodden or "common", yet you can read what I wrote. You can't be that common.

If 100,000 coins is too much for you, then don't buy it. If you don't have that kind of gold, get off your lazy ass and earn it. My first days on Amia were spent as a homeless beggar, I literally had nothing. If I can rise up from that situation, so can you, if you so choose. If you don't, that's your problem.

My intent was not to make fools of anyone but the bureaucratic politicians and self-promoted "important"
people of our Island. If you'd seen any of my work, you'd know this, but alas, I can't expect a simple commoner to appreciate the finer details of art.

So, while I do thank you for the extra publicity you may have brought to me, I do have a final closing message for you....

Fuck off.

Thank you very little,

(signed with a symbol of a cockroach)

I, the great Jron Ageirson!

Wishes a portrait of me and my companions and assistant. I gladly pay the gold, cause I have the gold. I always support the poor homeless folks.

How do I find you.

The most Gracious Bard Jron Ageirson

Well... you read some of my sign, but not all. Leave word with Griff as I said.

Just how many companions are we talking about? The quoted price is for one, it goes up from there.
We can speak more in person if you prefer.

Roach

*another notice, but seems more a individual rent versus adventurers*

Look at that artist, how he treats a simple man, yes I can read, the Old orphanage and new blue sky both offer(d) FREE courses, and i took them so i can do my job better.

And this advanturer filth siply says if i dont have 100.000 gold in my back pocked I'm lazy!!!! I work bloody shifts of 13 hours on the docks to support my family.

And If us lazy people would really be lazy you would not even have the paint or canvas or paper to tell me to fuck off.

You do not support any other than your friends in high places, I bet you think you are to good for others, as you clearly have no idea how the world beyond your grand paintings and orc provoking is.

I tell you what, YOU FUCK OFF out our city adventurer filth, go back to what ever whore hole you came from.

Roach simply laughs as she reads the last note and goes off on her way, but not before muttering...

"So he's an orc. Interesting."
