Galermont's quest
Simulation |
"Hear ye, hear ye! By order of his Majesty, let it be known to everyone that the brigantine taken from the English and all of its equipment, weapons, and goods are being put up for sale. The goods will be sold by candlelight auction today. Don’t miss it." You must help the auctioneer sell the plunder to the merchants who show up at the auction. When an object appears in the middle of the room, click on the merchant who you think might buy it. If you choose the correct merchant, his or her payment shows up in the trunk. If not, the merchandise returns to the pile of booty.
Be careful! The auction is over when the candle burns out. The auctioneer wants to get rid of all of the merchandise: His speech gets faster as time runs out! |

If over 50%
Congratulations! You succeeded in selling most of the merchandise. You deserve a reward.
If under 50%
Unfortunately, you weren’t very successful. Less than half of the merchandise was sold. On the other hand, this is understandable: our loot wasn’t all that good. Better luck next time. |
