Jose de la Costa bribes some of the people loading supplies on Sancho ship to fill it with sand and other non food items to cause Sancho expedition to fail.

I am getting awfully tired of this. As I mentioned before yesterday when people were committing crimes against each other and other countries, that is not permitted by the rules. If people would just stop be so god damn vengeful, I could finish the rules for crimes and not have to clean up mess after mess. I won't tolerate this again.))

Finding the party's host to pay his respects, Armand introduces his companion.

"Lord Kostopoulos, it is an honour to be here. Please allow me to introduce my sister's father-in-law, Maxime de Saint-Piere, head of the trans-pyrenean trading company and Grandmaster of Aragon."
 
Ferdinant wanted to show he was a man. He would drink an entire bottle of Vodka.
"Good sir, one bottle of your best vodka please"
 
((All nobles who attend the festivities in Athens may have knowledge that the County of Epirus is in debt with the Bank of Tuscany))

During the festivities in Athens, Antonio informs fellow nobles ((class)) that the County of Epirus is in financial trouble and does not have the amassed wealth it claims to have. Usually, Antonio gives his clients full privacy and rarely does he make a business transaction public knowledge. This time was an exception. The Count of Epirus, Jose de la Costa, had recently asked the Bank of Tuscany for a loan of 20 florins which contradicts with what de la Costa wrote in a letter shortly after receiving the loan.
Antonio wonders how a man can claim to have a massive amount of wealth when he has to ask the Bank of Tuscany for a loan worth 20 florins? This made no sense to him and therefore, he shared this information with other noblemen, with the hope to make some sense of this. He was worried that the Count of Epirus had maybe tricked him into a bad deal. Why else would he proclaim to possess a massive amount of wealth, immediately after taking a loan? But then again, Antonio is also convinced that de la Costa lacks the intellect to actually trick him, Antonio, the cunning and ruthless banker, into a bad deal...

(why cant people be vengeful and get revenge )

((Because it's not in the rules! If I allow every player to freely commit whatever crime they want without any sort of structure or mechanic, the result would be an uncontrolled mess. An iAAR needs structures and rules to function, otherwise the mods will shut this down. I don't want to have the mods shut this iAAR down because players go on a crime-spree. Now if you'd let me actually write up rules for crimes, then you'd be able to do that, but you need to wait.))

Ferdinant got his vodka. He would drink this entire bottle before the end of the party. That is, if he doesn't pass out.

As Maxime looks through th newest reports and letters he finds on from Armand Antonio Sastre, his son-in-law. It was an invitation to the feat of the newly appointed count of Athens. Maxime was getting old, mst of his hair fell out, is body was weak, but he still could walk without a cane. He couldn't stop the urge to go to one last feast. He put on his best outfit, got a gift for the count, and boarded the ship heading to Athenes.

(At the feast)

As he entered the main hall he saw many gusts and... the King?! If the King came he had the oportunity to talk about few issues with the curent state of Aragon's mechant marine, and the national trade, but in the end Maxime decided to not bother the King about such matters on the fast. He just enjoyed the banquet and he had a great time, until the count of Epirus showed up with an army. Then said something to the King about making a public statemant saying he isn't crazy, and then left. At first Maxime thought about his letter to the count in which he called him mad, but this right here was just crazy! After he left the feast continued in peace.
 
Ferdinant heard of these claims by the crazy count of Epirus to ban Antonio. He didn't trust that crazy man anyway. ((These are thoughts)) He guaranteed Antonio that he would protect him on his way back home.

You have been handling trade with our colonies in Brazil for a few years now and I see no reason to deny your request. You shall be granted a monopoly over trade in Brazil.

- His Majesty, Ferran III de Trastámara, King of Aragon and Protector of the Greeks

((You should go edit your charter to include this monopoly. I have a link to it in the table of contents.))
