Ringlminky, the dwarven town crier looks tired from running but reads from his scroll, "More Houses to be sold on the morrow at the appointed time! [November 3rd 1900 gmt] Gather near the esteemed Amidison Stronghand.

Hwnae arrives at the location of the first house to be sold, with a detachment of Imperial Guards who carry a small reinforced chest with them. He studies the crowd that is already present, apparently gathering before another house sold just a few days ago, to ensure there aren't any eyes staring greedily at the Dark Empire's tria chest. When he is satisfied, Hwnae turns his attention towards Donari Tyndale, a Trades officer, with an expertise in auctions. They both discuss the strategy of the following auctions, while other Imperial officials start arriving along with many strangers, all interested in buying property in Yliakum's capital.
The first two houses on the list that day, both located in Upper Hydlaa, were quickly going towards three million tria and more. The first was sold to a Kran that goes by the name Caash for over four million and the second house, just a bit further down the road went away to Kemedes for three million. Even though this is a haughty neighbourhood, in the vicinity of Amidison Stronghand's residence, the area is also dangerously close to the North gate and quite populated. The Empire was waiting for a better oppertunity.
This oppertunity came to us quickly when the city officials led us down to East Hydlaa and offered an empty building for sale, just across from the Purrty residence. The building was in good shape and located in a secluded area, away from the attention of the commoners. After letting a few other interested parties bid up against eachother, Hwnae placed a winning bid of one million and eight hundred thousand tria and gained the keys to the building with this action.
"The Dark Empire has an Embassy in Hydlaa, Hail the Empire!"
(It was a good event, much better than the first auctions I went to! Cheers to the GMs!
My only disappointment was with the players who had to insist on GMs showing that flashy yellow label again before they went along.
They finally remove that dreaded OOC thing and you guys have to spoil it, tsk tsk tsk.)
