From the pages of "Noble Metals – A Synthetic Strategy for Success" (SUPER ADVENTURE 2: Morning Party Play Report)

A play report for Mr. Mann's Super Adventure game 

A preview of Uale Xerive's upcoming publication, Noble Metals – A Synthetic Strategy for Success, that was delivered to the soulless subscribers of their Pyramideon™ service. 

Success is simple. That is the secret. – Uale Xerive

Uale Xerive, the notable and respected Cogflower Demon Hunter Necromancer of the Ultraviolent Grasslands, was once but a simple legume farmer. Now they are the richest machine mind far and wide. 

One essential skill every ambitious business bot must pick up is market evaluation. If the market does not provide the opportunities you seek, do not grind but expand your mind. This is a metaphor. Expanding your mind means expanding your market.

Thus, when Uale Xerive, the author of this work, recognized the lack of profit coming from the crystal trade, they did not whine about the invisible hand's failure but looked for new opportunities.

Uale Xerive entered the real estate market. 

With real estate in the Porcelaine City being manipulated by degenerous socialcyst nobles, Uale Xerive looked to the tax haven Blip in the Spokelands. Financial success did not present itself freely. There are no handouts. But Uale Xerive, the creator of the Noble Metal's Academy for Ambition and Accumulation, was well networked. 

Overhearing a “Writ of Request or Removal of Owners of a Private Residence And/Or Domicile Within Jurisdiction of the Association's Theater of Operation”, Uale Xerive founded a start-up and gathered a small team of talent and interns. The writ read:

 First person to kill Pyrrha Les-Arsahnist = NewOwner();
Before NewOwner(): 
    for all Property in Domiciile:
        Property.Update("Up For Grabs!");

[TO MY IMBECILE ASSISTANT JEREMY. PLEASE REWRITE THIS PART BEFORE RELEASE TO THE SUCKERS THAT READ MY EXPENSIVE BLOG. MAKE IT MORE GENIUS AND LESS LIKE I GOT LUCKY!!]

Initial shareholders of this hostile takeover were COO Snakeskin Strutta, CFO Gryndwel, CTO The Marquis, Senior Member of the Board Ludwig Lazarus, and CEO Uale Xerive. Added as unpaid interns were Steve, Pinball Pete, and The Magician.

Upon arrival on the property, the wolf pack found it to be protected by a wall. Steve was sent to find an entry and opened the wall using his diamond portfolio. Inside, the shareholders decided on a top-to-bottom approach. COO Snakeskin leveraged the side of the volcano and opened a path forward through the balcony into the bedroom of the estate.

Inside, CEO Uale Xerive, author of this book and leader in market excellency education, proposed to circle back to open a door where the pyromancer Pyrroah was found to be violating coporate policies on political literature, a firable offense. She was successfully dismissed by Senior Member of the Board Lazarus deploying the Lightning Technique (TM).

This ended the acquisitions phase and led to several steps of revolutionary ideating. The estate was stripped for parts to be left to the vultures of Blip, who have not gotten the memo about the dire state of their market. In addition, the organization was successfully downsized to improve profit margins. The trimming of the fat led to the permanent termination of the grease wizard known as The Magician. After a thorough performance review, the interns Steve and Pinball Pete were let go to find more suitable positions in the afterlife. The legacy hires of the pyromancers estate were kept to keep the competition confused.

Having made hay, the shareholders pulled the plug, sold the shares, and went their separate ways. 

This is how Uale Xerive came into the possession of the following assets [Jeremy, add the changes I have noted in red]:

- 46’740'000 gp.
- Dragon Slayer Bastard Sword +20
- Shield +100
- Plate Mail +100 (elf size)
