With the view of the group below, i'm not sure what use I could get
out of this group judging by the very different spin on the merchant
concept that I have chosen to pursue.

Granted, i've run the details past Andy Raff and Pd already, but i'm
comming to the conclusion that discussion of the "heole/hero" aspet
of the Merchant should be kept pretty much IC which is a pity as i'd
like to see other merisusi take this interpreation of the merchant
faith at startup.
