Weapons Trade
Michael has established a trade arrangement in Adjepbar with gentlemen who take an objective and mercantile view about implements of destruction. This endeavour is not without it's risks, being frowned upon by even the most open minded ruler, with the less tolerant engaging the services of assassins.
Nevertheless, for those willing to accept these risks, a significant profit may be realised, although the complexities of international trade mean that he may not see any result for a year.
At the beginning of a year, Michael may invest up to Rank x Rank (in Spy) x 500 Silver Pennies in an arms venture. A year and a day later, he may Break 100 + 7 x Rank in Merchant. If successful, he makes a 50% profit (if he invests 100 sp, he would realise a profit of 150 sp). If unsuccessful, he does not make a profit. In fact, the result of the %ile roll is the percentage of money that he recovers (i.e. if he invests 1,000 sp but rolls 23, and this is insufficient to Break 100, then he realises 230 sp).
