Success

A respectable gentleman

Mr Fortune is doing well for himself. His shop is resplendent with gleaming brass, copper and obsidian fittings. It smells pleasantly of polish and fungal pot-pourri. He puts down his copy of Slowcake's Exceptionals ('the indispensable guide to persons of note in the Neath!') and addresses you.
