[GP] A Game of Politics

[Rhialto]

Ringmereth:

[sblock]As Seguith talks of Lukar Deacon Fevre nods. "Understand I'm simply for keeping in mind that we are probably dealing with an intriguer. As for not playing us false--well, Seguith, in my experience those who claim high ideals and have none can be counted on for one thing--betrayal. I suspect he has promised his followers everything--and I expect that if he gets his way, they will recieve nothing but his boot upon their heads." He shrugs. "Or ours, if it goes that way, Orr willing. I fear these dwarves have made a hard bed for themselves in this town. Indeed, in the whole north..."

As Seguith mentions talking to the group about it, Anguis shakes his head. "But you see, that would make this a matter of public humiliation. I would keep it one of private discussion. As of yet, Master Quinn is the... problematic member of the committee in these discussions. A statement among the whole committee that we must show a united front--well, he might take it as a forceful rebuke, and grow resentful. All I wish is to quietly suggest he--gentle his tongue in our negotiations. If he has a dispute, I would he make it out of the earshot of the rebels."

The Deacon leans back. "But, this is a matter of your discretion, sir. Let us move on to more pleasant things. How goes affairs of your great house? Is Lord Voll Mono well?"[/sblock]

 

[Ranger Rick]

Quinn, creates an unseen servant and starts to dictate letters to the creature. The letters are of fluff and inconsquential.

Rhialto:
[sblock]"If you believe it to be the most effective fashion of correcting his behavior, I will speak to him. Nevertheless, it is important that we collaborate to, if nothing else, decide upon a single resolution to offer the dwarves. I will speak to Alessa regarding such a meeting," Seguith resolves, standing up and taking up his staff. "If we have no further buisness to attend to, perhaps we should continue this again another day, and work on these task. I plan to draw up a list of key points for our treaty, and I will advise you, as well as Quinn and our chairwoman, to do the same."[/sblock]

DM:
[sblock]If you've been reading our {/sblocks}, you'd know I was asked about the affairs of House Monoceros. While I have no intention of revealing its secrets to the Deacon, what are said secret, or non-secret affairs and rumors of the House's buisness?[/sblock]

 

[Timothy]

Once you have all arrived back at the castle, you are summoned to the Lord.

What have you learned from your visit? Will the dwarves yield? Or will there be fighting? Please tell me and tell me how you will handle the situation.


OOC: Sequith

[sblock]
I do not have any detailed secrets about Monoceros other then what is allready typed out. You are free to write them up yourself. Rhialto did the same for the church of Orr. I will soon upload that into the OOC thread.[/sblock]

[Nephtys]

"The matter is still undecided, but I believe they will see reason in time. For now there is little we can do, except make sure that the blockade is held. I would like to speak to a representative of the local garrison, however. If the Captain is indisposed another officer will have to do."

ooc: The local Lord was not the one responsible for causing the dwarves grievances, if I recall correctly. It was the captain, who is still free. (?)

Ringmereth:

[sblock]The Deacon nods. "Tis good. What do you think our terms should be, if I may ask? If the two of us are able to hammer out a common platform between us, I think we might stand a very strong chance of getting it accepted by the rest of the commitee."[/sblock]

 

[Rhialto]

ooc: The local Lord was not the one responsible for causing the dwarves grievances, if I recall correctly. It was the captain, who is still free. (?)

OOC: No, the captain is being held hostage with his family.

 

[Ringmereth]

[sblock]Seguith considers the question. "I will propose the same conditions, for the most part, as I offered at the barricades. I would offer sufficent funds to rebuild the dwarven neighborhood and a fair trial, with dwarven representation, for this captain, as well as pardoning all followers of Lukar's revolt. In return, I would require the release of at least a token group of hostages, as well as Orlan submitting himself to the same court as the captain is tried in."[/sblock]

The pair are interrupted by a messenger summoning them to the Lord to report on their negotiations. Seguith nods and turns to the Deacon. "We can discuss this further after this conference, if we do not decide upon a singular proposal there," he tells Fevre, then walks out, following the messenger to the group's meeting.

 

[Rhialto]

The Deacon nods at Seguith's suggestion, as he follows him out to see the city's Lord. "In truth, you've stated what I aimed for, though I'd also want to try any who directly plotted with Lukar instead of merely following. I seem to recall some talk of a clique of dwarfs who seemed to be directing things, with Lukar at top... Also, trials for any dwarf who murdered, maimed, or otherwise used the revolt as an excuse for egregious violence--though let us hope, Orr willing, no such dwarfs exist..."
