Message: <blockquote data-quote="MacConnell" data-source="post: 6946860" data-attributes="member: 6855223">A New Life: End of Day 15[ooc]As evening wears into night of the following day the party finds itself in the Boar's Head as is the usual culmination, the day having been spent negotiating supplies, discussing building, and learning to read. With the elimination of the threat to the West, he Southroad Seekers have become and integral part of the developing community and the evening has become the time for involved discussions.[/ooc]Giodavi -"Your assessment may not be far off. I am basing my opinion on two factors. First, I think this to be a split decision. Not all of the Magisters are so malevolently greedy. The Magistry is composed of 7 members. One is Shimadow, 2 are Amiradthan, and 4 are Ansylin. One of the Amiradtha and 2 of the Ansylins are more level headed and think more long term.""Second, as a former Magistry Marshal, I understand war and the movement of troops. You all have traveled back and forth for years, so the distance between here and Asylim seems less with common use. To move a large force that distance would require a massive amount of food and water, not to mention rigid discipline. An army would likely take twice the time it took the Silk Caravan to travel the same distance.""I do expect further action. I expect it in the form of smaller, more specialized units, even without the consensus of the entire Magistry. However the assassin you finished was communicating his progress, it will take some time before a second action can be initiated and more time to reach us."Giodavi -"Obviously the molevolent members of the Magistry has much to gain by removing me. Their whole aristocratically controlled factional system of social governing is fattened by taxation and dues. Their ultimate goal would be to put a sycophant in charge who would fleece a portion of every transaction and send the monies to Asylim, also ensuring everyone is a dues paying member of some guild.""All citizenry residing here from Asylim are expatriates. They would all be fined or killed if the Magistry gained control. Others are from Boga City, which is currently working toward furthering our development."Sheldon - "I think you should look into developing some methods of being proactive to engage this attempt at a hostile take over rather than reactive. Employing us as a counter mercenary unit is helpful to you, us, and the community, but you should also establish a revolving scout system to post lookouts as far south as feasible to aide in acquiring advance information. Scouts built for speed, which means looking into collecting mounts and establishing a livery. We are farther from Boga City than Asylim. We cannot count on the friendly city to save us from the hostile one with distance being a factor for both."</blockquote>
