Giodavi closes up and then sits with the group to discuss the business."I'm sure you are all tired after such a journey. I have had no houses built for rent. I have never before had the need. The largest I can offer is one of the bunkhouses, which sleeps four, but I would be more than happy to make an arrangement with you if you wish to use one to store your belongings. I would also consider selling you one and you could commission the Carpenters' Guild to add onto it. If you wish to have a place built, talk to the Carpenters' Guild for that as well. There is no taxation or deed permit requirement.""So I surmise by your return that you have eliminated the hostilities to the west. By Sannit's description you encountered Shimadow. Was it natives expanding their territory or head hunters?"Sheldon gestures for Giodavi to wait momentarily and walks outside to retrieve a few items. When he returns he places a bone-headed arrow and a flint kukri upon the table before addressing the question."Indigenous hostiles? It would appear so with the rudimentary weapons, but these..."He places the four, small, rectangular, gold coins on the table bearing the stamped symbol for Asylim."are not something one would find on any aboriginal clan."Giodavi and Lyndha both look at the coins, shaking their heads."Those greedy fools. I truly did not expect such an action, or any action for that matter. Not the start of this past growing season but the one before, an emissary was sent from Asylim demanding monies. You all being former caravaners and, therefore, mandatory members of the Teamsters Guild can understand some of the machinations of Asylim. Fees for this and that and the other. When it was all said and done, the Magistry wanted 50% of the communities income and guild dues from the various factions, here.""I laughed. I considered it a joke. We are so far from the city, it would be impossible for them to enforce such demands; as well as, impossible for them to march an army this distance to destroy us, but I see I have under estimated their greed and avarice. They hired insurgents to do what an army could not. One of the ruling families is Shimadow. I guess that's how they were able to hire such a crew. Killing my hunters is not just short-sighted. It's absolutely cruel, sadistic even."He pauses momentarily, clearly disturbed and upset."I wonder if this is the decision of all 7 members or if it's a split decision."</blockquote>
