Okay, I'll try. I think I'll leave an impression - at the worst, six feet deep :-D

Now all I need is to draw the challenge into an area I'm proficient with, then go for it. The only idea I don't like is that it's supposed to be the wealthiest merchant around... but maybe that could be made less of a problem by defining which exact trade sector... hmm.... I'll work something out. I hope I have some material by Saturday, until then!
