OOC: Rick has not voted yet, but I'll move the game along and we'll hear from him tomorrow.
IC: The Scribe collects all of your votes and gives them to the Dean. Brandt quickly looks at them and raises an eyebrow, then he nods again and puts the papers away.
It seems you have made your choice, but before I will reveal who will become your chairman, let me first tell you about your first assignment.
The first assignment was ment to be a training assignment, but a situation has occured up north that you are going to be handling.
In a town called Tarsur, near Gazur at the Borders between Kalur, Farnese and Stir, the local dwarven population has revolted. Because it only happened yesterday, we are not fully aware what exactly caused the revolt. We suspect it has something to do with the new Army barracks that were recently built in the dwarven ghetto. It has always been so that Dwarfs have not been treated well by the people in the northern cities, so that could have caused this as well.
The dwarfs have stormed the barracks and the Captain's house. After that they barricaded the streets and made movement in the alleyways impossible.
The Council of Houses has decided that this revolt has to be resolved withou massive bloodshed. This will be your mission. If you fail in doing this, the army will be called in to put an end to this revolt.
My scribe will give you some facts about the situation.
The scribe steps forward and gives some letters he was holding to the Dean. He opens a report he is holding and begins to speak in a monotone voice.
Tarsur, some miles south-east of the City of Gazur.
Official Population, 1132.
Official dwarven population, 274.
Town lord, Iason Torbod.
Army Captain, Blon Harfung.
Size of Army Garrison within barracks, 50.
Size of Army force dispatched for emergencies, 300,
The Scribe closes his report and goes back to stand at the door.
Well, I think that is about it. If you have any questions, you can ask them, but if you don't have any questions, you can start discussing what your future chairman will be asking for goods and services with the 5000 Golden stars i will give you. Before you can ask any questions though, I have something for you.
It was a secret that you would be in this council and it was also a secret that this council would get the job of looking into the revolt. Because of all that, I got these letters to be delivered to you.
With a sigh and a mutter about secrecy, each of you receives an envelope with the signet of your house on it.
OOC: I'll post the content of the letters in spoilerblocks in the posts below, only open those with your (char's)name above it.
For Urgas Alem:
[sblock]You have, offcourse, allready heard about this revolt, heck, you even heard you were chosen for this job before you got the letter. but because the revolt is quite far away, you do not have a lot of extra information, except that tales have been told of series of small explosions that could be heard.[/sblock]
