*opens the letter from Galen and ponders a response*
Galen,
I have not seen Sherry since our encounter at the Warrior Guild Hall. She agreed with my suggestion of meeting as a community to discuss our actions with Lord Casca. I had tentatively set a place aside where the hosts are ready for us at a moments notice. Perhaps now would be a good time to do so? If not to discuss a very inactive Lord Casca, then a very unseen Sherry? She may be lying in wait for such an occasion outside the watchful eye of the Royal Guard.
Please advise on a course of action.

Airmid:
My advice would be to proceed as had been discussed at the guild hall: to start meeting, outside Britannian soil. Regardless of what happens next, planning and structure and communication can only help.
The one pattern in Casca's erratic moves has been to gather power. He forbids town governments, for example, then goes back on that when it looks like his edict threatens rather than gathers his support.
By itself, consolidating power doesn't confirm our worst fears, he could just be fearful, which is understandable. But it isn't a good sign, and will make things rough for us if our worst fears
do come to pass.
I fear, as you may have guessed, that Sherry has been caught. If our worst fears are correct, that would be a logical move for him. So far as I know, she is our last living link to Lord British. The great heroes of old (Dupre, Shamino, the like) are either dead or absent or out of action for one reason or another.
But yes.....Either way, the meetings should start, and soon.
