Now, I know we're all increasingly uncomfortable and lacking in certain...amenities, I've found there's at least some aspect of our present situation to be optimistic about.

[ a pause, some shuffling papers, then— ]

In light of the unfortunate turn the weather's taken towards stifling, Diplomacy has received some requests from our neighbors in Hightown. Do we have any among us skilled at making ice? They're offering what I think is fair compensation, and I'd say if the weather cooperates we could ask double their initial price—

[ john breaks off, clears his throat. probably less than professional to be so blunt about haggling?? ]

There are a few caveats that I'm sure we'll all have some opinions about. [ more shuffling paper ] Orlesians are preferred, for some reason, and they'd like any volunteers to be accompanied by someone who isn't a mage, preferably a templar. I assume anyone will do for that. Seems they're less picky on that front, so non-Orlesians, don't feel shy.

Any volunteers? Or should we wait a week and see how they feel if the weather holds?
