Naming the Company

Jerry: I think we're ready to roll.
Chris: Excellent.
Jerry: So, it's fresh. The articles of incorporation have just been signed. We've put it together. We're ready to--
Mike: What's our company name?
Scott: What's our company name?
Jerry: We need a company name, don't we?
Scott: We should put your god's name in it. What's your god's name again?
Chris: Avandra.
Jerry: Avandra is good, but this is--We have her endorsement, but I think that this is a more mercenary endeavor. It has to be something that communicates some of our services but also is inviting to the person who is, you know, looking at the advertisement.
Scott: Kill & Gold Incorporated.
Jerry: Let's see. Uhh. That's... brazen? And I'm looking for something that has a little more...
Scott: 'Cause I thought, we like to kill. And we like gold. And we are incorporated.
Jerry: We are incorporated. I don't mind "Incorporated".
...
Mike: Do our characters need motivation?
Chris: The adventure may provide some of that. Once you sort of realize what you're up to. You may have some other motivations on the side.
Mike: I've got some motivations. That you don't know about yet.
Jerry: You're mysterious.
Chris: As a wizard, you're an arcane character, and your powers come from the Arcane power source, essentially, which is a little bit different flavored from the cleric's Divine power or the fighter's Martial power. Your powers feel very magical, and wizards generally like to acquire new staffs and wands and orbs.
Mike: Stuff.
...
Jerry: Well, I'm ready. I've formed the articles.
Mike: What's our name?
Jerry: Acquisitions Incorporated. I feel like it's very tasteful. It's going to appeal to multiple levels of society, as long as they know what the word "acquisitions" means.
