At that point, suddenly feeling menaced, he gives them a startled look and half-prepares a spell, but stops before making a further scandal by killing them.When his companions are already out, and the eyes of the remaining nobles focus on the other adventurers, he starts pacing slowly around.No doubt, I wasn't expecting further conditions on the colony, and they come as a surpriese. Nevertheless, I have no wish to discuss them. You have the full power and intelligence to make decisions, and expect consequences. Anyway, may I suggest that we heal the relationships? We should not start bickering even before the company is founded. I am certain that my friends regret their outburst, caused by the attacks in the past days, and apologize for them. Praised shall be who apologizes, and more prised who accepts the apologize with grace, afterall. diplomacy: 36, Ederin ScatterlightPassing on, I shall say that the concept of these requirements is hard to apply and enforce. How are you going to make certain that all ships that get out from the colony dock at Brightlaw? Are you going to dispose the full military fleet and intercept all ships? The merchants are surely going to grumble and ignore such a rule. As for the 30% series...a mine doesn't easily divide itself in 10 equal pieces. Even if it does, anyone would find it difficult to make two different teams and companies work efficiently in the same mine. May I suggest an alternative? Let the mining company give 30% of its profits to the country that has this right - be it iron for the dwarves or gems. This way, we avoid a situation where a mining company wants to give the worst gems as 30%, while the other part, quite understaningly, wants the best 30%.I would say that we should find an alternative solution for Brightlaw's request: one that gives them the same benefices, but is easily to apply and enforce. What would you say about a special tax that is paid by a ship docking to the four lands, and goes for the city of Brightlaw. Such tax would prove certain, wherever the ship docs. A simple agreement between the countries can guarantee that it is paid, and you are already in a rapport of cooperation. If you wished to, you could made the tax lower for the city of brightlaw, so that the ships are encouraged to dock there.</blockquote>
