## Recap

### Meeting Lady Luck

A servant of a noble, Ethel, comes into the sisters' shoe store, The Peach Street Cobblers, in The First City and hands a envelope to Bouldara who is at the front desk. It is a request to make a custom pair of shoes for a noble, Lady Lucy Luck (wife of Lord Ricky Luck). Bouldara calls over her sisters to take care of the letter. The shoes are for the upcoming Annual Garden Party in a month's time.

The sisters go with the servant to the Lucky Estate. They meet her out on a 3rd Floor Verandah. After introductions Lady Luck goes into detail to the type of shoe she wants for the party. Bright colourful shoes that will match one of the three summer dresses she plans to wear.

Lady Luck wants to show up the leader of the Garden Club, Lady Rita. After hearing all of Lady Luck's preferences, Lazuli suggests a wedge Gladiator sandal with cloth flowers ornamented with pearls in bright fuchsia. Lady Luck's thinks to bring down the color of the shoe to yellow, not fuchsia.

Pebble brings out the Nadinis sea jewelery for Lady Luck to inspect as Lazuli tells the story how they were obtained and they were waiting for just the right client to use them on. They propose making matching clutch of pearls to the pearls on the shoes. Lady Luck agrees to the idea.

Lastly the sisters make a last for Lady Luck's feet. They also talk about making Ethel a set of shoes to complement but not overshadow Lady Luck's shoes. The lady agrees. Lasts are made of Ethel's feet as well.

As the lasts are being made, Lazuli sees a fellow wearing mostly black with a red tie, and a half on -indoors. Looks well dressed but the vibe does not match. They feel out of place. Lazuli decides it isn't her business and leaves the matter alone.

At the end of the visit, both Lazuli and Bouldara have made a good impression on the noble lady.

After leaving, Bouldara talks about making shoes for Lady Rita, the Garden Club President. Pebble is against the idea, thinking they are betraying their client if they did so. Bouldara also suggests only using some of the Nadinis Pearls, and supplement in regular pearls.

## Designing the Shoes

The sisters arrive home and bring Proton up to speed. They get designing the Lady Luck & Ethel's shoes in detail.

For Lady Luck, gladiator sandals. Yellow Leather Straps with beaded glass along them. One option with pearls at the intersections, the other option is white cloth flowers at the intersections with the pears in the centre. Soles are blue. Insoles are Green.

Ethel's Shoe is flats made of yellow leather. On the toe with either the glass beads in a circle or a cloth flower, determined by what Lady Luck decides. Soles are blue. Insoles are Green.

The clutch for Lady Luck is to match the design for the shoes. Yellow Leather with Cloth Flowers on it.

Proton is excited to make something, but need supplies. The party split in two groups. Bouldara & Proton togther. Pebble and Lazuli together.

Bouldara & Proton go for the leather, buckles, blue lacquer, blue & green dye, and the wood, which costs 50 gold. Bouldara also gets some hair dye that will hopefully mix into a pink dye for proton.

Pebble and Lazuli go for the pearls, silver beads and beaded glass. They buy 8 pearls for 800 gp. But getting the glass beads with silver on the inside is beyond the current technology. They get glass beads instead for 20 gold.

## Crafting the Shoes

The sisters go back home and start working out the raw cost of the martials of the shoe.

Ethel's shoes cost 10gp to make.

Lady Luck's shoes cost 870 GP in materials, ignoring the 2 Nadinis pearls. The sisters disagree on how to price the Nadinis pearls.

In the end there are two retail cost estimates:

1. 1,400 GP for the version with 2 Nadinis Pearls & 8 regular pearls.
2. 2,175 GP for a version with 10 regular Pearls.

But they say these prices are discounted from the regular x3 raw cost of the shoe (3210 gp: 10 regular pearls, 4110 gp: with 2 Nadinis pearls & 8 regular pearls).

Proton tries the hair dye, but it turns out orange instead of pink.

The letter with the price quotes is sent to Lady Luck's estate.

The next day Ethel comes to the sister's shoe store, with a letter from Lady Luck. Pebble reads the letter where Lady Luck is politely incredulous at the costs. Pebble thinks they have to make a design with fewer pearls.

In the end there are two retail cost estimates:

1. 1,975 GP for the version with 2 Nadinis Pearls & 6 regular pearls. (Blue Soles)
2. 1,400 GP for a version with 6 regular Pearls. (Regular Soles)
3. 1,200 GP for a version with 2 Nadinis Pearls. (Blue Soles)

Lady Luck goes for the 1,975 GP option.

## Delivery of the Shoes

The sisters go to deliver the shoes to the Luck Estate. In the estate they finally see Lady Luck's husband, Lord Ricky Luck, and discover he is the loanshark. The sisters play it cool. Lord Luck asks for the sister's discretion. The sisters then go see Lady Luck.

Lady Lucy Luck loves the shoes and tries them on. Bouldara goes to hand over the clutch as well, but accidently hits the lady in the face. Lady Luck excuses herself to get Ethel to try on her shoes. When Lady Luck returns with her servant she keeps her distance from the 3 sisters.

The sisters take the 10,000 silver coins, 975 gold coins. and leave.
