The warehouses are the largest structures in the port, rising well above the adjoining buildings. Constructed from virgin timber, the beams overhead support lofts that are filled to capacity with boxes, crates, and barrels full of goods from all over the world. Carefully checking each parcel that crosses the doorway, the warehouse manager knows exactly where everything belongs inside.

I own this land that the indolent soldiers are camping on. They have been here all summer. If I had known, I would not have sown any crops this spring. Now we are approaching harvest time and my fields are trampled. I am not sure how my family will survive this fall. I have worked my whole life for this land, and now it is ruining me.
Hello salesman, why are you here in my warehouse? Good morning sir. I have a deal for you. Are you ready to have your socks knocked off? Go for it. I have heard all the sales pitch in the book, but maybe you have something new. I am wondering if you should sit down for this. I wouldn't want you to faint before my presentation is over. I perhaps should but I need to carefully watch the boxes and crates of full goods. They are being shipped worldwide. Can you not speak to me at this very moment? I can kind sir. In my possession I have a sword that is so sharp you could shave a spiders arse with it. But that is not the best thing this sword can do. It is also enchanted. The Great Gandolf himself enchanted this sword. I have plenty of swords in my warehouse, in fact I have over hundreds of them. This parcel you have is nothing new it looks like but....you said Gandalf the Great enchanted it!? Yes he did. It came into my possession by winning a bet with Bilbo Baggins. He was a sore loser. The sword triples the owners profit. You can see why Bilbo was not happy with losing it. My dear god! What is your asking price for this lovely sword? If I get a hold of this sword and sell it, maybe I can finally support my family this fall. I have thought long and hard about this. I will want an initial fee for the sword. This price we can discuss. But I will need 20% of your proceeds. If you are willing to make me a named partner I will not charge a fee for the sword. Why yes of course! We can definitely be partners for this deal, only if you promise none of the soldiers will get a hold of this sword. They are very indolent and all they do is camp here. I really need to get some gold out of this sale so my sons can eat, you see I've worked here on this land my whole life. Sometimes this warehouse work seems like it is not paying anything We have a deal then. We must find a place to hide the sword. I have a case that only opens with both of us needing to be present.
