Ahoy, captain! My name is Amerigo Vespucci. I’m sorry, but I’m too busy to talk to you right now. I want to build a new school and I’m desperately looking for some stone. |
2 |
Oh, that’s great! My workers have just arrived and they need their money. You know what it’s like these days - people don’t lift a finger unless they’re paid. |
3 |
Did you know that cocoa is good for your health? I didn’t know it either. Do you think you could get me some? My men would like to taste it. |
4 |
Amico, you’re still here! That is splendid. My navigation school urgently needs wood for the roof and the delivery is over 2 weeks late! Can you do something about it? |
5 |
First the wood, now the nails! All of them have become rusty. Can you believe that? However, if you bring me some iron, we can make new ones. |
6 |
It was a very long and hard month, but we’ve made it. Come, my amici, let’s go to a pub together. We deserve a bit of fun, don’t we? |
7 |
I’d like to prepare a huge dinner for the whole town, but I’m afraid that I’ve miscalculated a bit. Could you help me out? |
8 |
The school I’m building... pardon, WE are building together is almost finished! What we need now is some wood for the basic equipment like chairs and tables. |
9 |
I have an idea! Let’s build statues of ourselves in front of the school. If you get the materials, I’ll take care of the rest. It will be marvellous! |
10 |
Next week, there’s going to be a fishing contest at the lake near the town. Everyone is excited, but we have a problem - there are hardly any fish in the lake... |
11 |
The cocoa is truly magical. My stone cutters work like horses when I give them some. It seems like it’s giving them energy... |
12 |
Our school is almost done. Now we need to fit the windows and I’m looking for more wood. Don’t worry, I’ll reward you generously! |
13 |
The school is nice. It really is! But it’s terribly cold inside and I hate cold. We'd better get some nice stoves. |
14 |
We should get prepared for the school opening ceremony. Many things need to be considered - especially finances! |
15 |
We should cook some traditional local food for the ceremony. Bring ingredients that can be easily prepared and taste good too. |
16 |
The opening ceremony won’t do without a huge bonfire. We’ll make a fire that no one has ever seen before! |
17 |
Each of our guests has to get a gift. My friend is a jeweller and he’ll make us beautiful marble necklaces and rings. |
18 |
The town wants us to pay fees for the ceremony. Can you believe that?! What a scandal! They won’t get any presents from us. We’ve done enough for them! |
19 |
Do you think our guests would be pleased if we brought them cocoa? They have never eaten anything like that before. They will surely be excited! At least I hope so… |
20 |
I don’t remember much, but everyone is saying that it was a great evening! I’ve also met a guy who would like to buy some stone from you. |
21 |
The city council is desperately looking for some high quality iron. Do you think you can get them what they need? For the sake of a good relationship...and a good reward! |
22 |
Local lumber mill needs some equipment upgrades, but they lack financial resources. They will supply us with high quality wood in return. |
23 |
You surely know what a compass is, right? Well we need some iron for that. Luckily, I have some friends who will trade sufficient iron for some top-notch tuna. Deal? |
24 |
Our students will also learn how to repair a ship. We need a lot of wood for these lessons. Who would have thought that running a navigation school would be this hard? |
25 |
The jeweller, who made us the necklaces for the ceremony, would like to buy more stone from you. It was the best one he’s ever worked with! |
26 |
My marine navigation lessons have become really popular! It seems like I’ll need an assistant soon. Can you get me someone? I’ll reward you with a fresh batch of fish! |
27 |
Soon, I’ll be dispatching my ships with various goods to Rome. This means, that your cocoa must be shipped too! |
28 |
Did you know that I’m from an Italian town called Florence? Well, now you know! From there I will be transporting some precious stone. Help me deliver it to Rome with your ships. |
29 |
They must be joking! My crew has just told me that some monster ate their anchor. A ship can’t sail without an anchor… well, actually it can, but it definitely shouldn’t! |
30 |
I used to live in a temple for a couple of months in Florence. All I can tell you is, that the place means a lot to me. Therefore, I’d like to donate them some money. |
31 |
I was thinking about the missing anchor. This has never happened to me. We have to find out what caused it. Let’s bait a trap with fish and wait to see what shows up. |
32 |
We'll build a wooden trap and bait it with fish. When the monster arrives it will be caught in the trap, then we can sell it! |
33 |
We have to weigh the cage so it doesn’t float away. Stone is exactly what we need! Don’t worry, you’ll get paid. |
34 |
It seems like the sea monster tricked us! The trap stayed at the same place, but the fish are gone. How is this possible? Let’s try it again. |
35 |
AGAIN NOTHING?! I, Amerigo Vespucci, the most famous navigator and explorer won’t be tricked that easily! Let’s set the cocoa as a bait closer to the shore and watch it. |
36 |
No monster! Just some ordinary local thieves! I caught them with my men while they were trying to steal our cocoa bait out from the trap. Can you believe it? Haha! |
37 |
I've got some surprising news; there’s a bounty on the heads of these thieves! I suggest transporting them in an iron cage, so they can’t escape. |
38 |
I guess you know what cartography is. You probably also know that I’m a master of cartography. I’d like to teach the students in our school how to draw maps correctly. |
39 |
I’m making a dinner and I’ve invited a couple of experienced navigators too. I’d like to plan the content for our new school subject and I want to hear your opinion. |
40 |
I’m designing a new ship, but we don’t have enough materials. Don’t you have some wood for sale? I’ll pay you well. |
Final |
Before you leave, don’t forget your reward, captain. You deserve it. |
