Episode: Siege Stories IV
Posted by Story on 04/18/17
Word among the merchants is that Lord Karadoc Saik has decided that alcohol shouldn't be sold during the siege, since it takes grain to make the alcohol. The merchants don't like that at all, and one Lazarus Mercier is particularly upset by what he sees as an attack on his livelihood. As friendship turns to bitterness, a protest is organized. Merchants turn away members of the Saik family from their stores. Rumor has it, Lazarus is making them whole again on the flip side, so that no one protesting really gets hurt. Even those who do serve the Saik family do so with a cold shoulder and a thumb on the scales. Fortunately for those turning to alcohol in these siege-filled times, the Mercier family and those who support them are still selling those delicious grain-based stress-relief products.
