Greetings, citizens, and leaders of Britannia.
Arriving for this month’s meeting, Kimi was very concern as the last word we had was the King had been seriously injured and may not attend the meeting if the Healers had their way. Who would step in to assume the seat of the Crown?
Dupre: Greetings, citizens, and leaders of Britannia.
Magichands: hello knight
Siege Perilous: hail adventurer
Kimi Mori: Hail sir?!
SpyderBite: It's not that I don't pay my debts. Most people that I owe money to just seem to disappear.
Tanager: *salutes*
Nightwind: *tips hat*
Magichands: *salutes*
Blind Otto: I know that voice...#
Tanager: How fares our King?
Carrick McGee: Lord Dupre?
Magichands: our king???
Dupre: *takes seat*
Magichands: is still injured?
Kimi Mori: aye how is our Lord?
Dupre: Please, be seated I imagine you have heard the grim news by now. I have just come from the Royal Infirmary.
Blind Otto: *looks worried*
Dupre: The king has been bedridden for the better part of a week. He fell - literally, from a great height, in battle. The greatest healers and mages in the land have been working night and day to keep him alive and mend his broken form. The grandmaster healer has given absolute assurances that he will recover and has confirmed that he is not a zombie. (I could swear he was looking at Governor Spyderbite at that last comment)
Magichands: fiuuuu
Tanager: *giggle*
Magichands: that's a good news
Torin: and said last time, we he should have married
Magichands:
Dupre: I believe there was some confusion over that matter.
Magichands: what man do to don't marry eh?
Magichands:
Dupre: *looks puzzled* However, some light has fallen into our dark days. Less than an hour ago, King Blackthorn briefly regained consciousness. *smiles* He was able to speak, softly, of what happened to him. He managed to track the Titans that assail our cities to their lair.
Blind Otto: Did one want to marry him?
Magichands: lol
Dupre: *scowls at Otto* There, he sought to bind them, but their power was too great for him. He began casting a spell, to return to the safety of his home, but the spell was disrupted when near completion. It did not bring him all the way home. He appeared in the skies above Britain, and fell, like an eagle struck by an arrow. *looks mortified*
Kimi Mori: oh no
Dupre: He was able to tell me, though, that the dark daemon Arcadeon, who some of you have already fought, now seeks to gather forces in one of our land's vile dungeons.
Magichands: ouch
Kimi Mori: ??where sir?
Dupre: This beast apparently escaped captivity due to the bungling of a ne-er do well called Ricardo. The king then lapsed back into a fevered sleep. May the virtues watch over him.
Dupre: But, to the matter of that daemon. Do not seek him out just yet. You will need to be well prepared. He is mighty. He is evil. He is cunning. And, he knows you will come for him. So, we will let him stew.
Siege Perilous: *takes notes*
Dupre: No dashing out of this meeting to confront him, I implore you
Magichands: I still hear his laughing -.-
Dupre: there will be time for that. Let us attend to matters of the kingdom first. It is what Blackthorn would want. Let us plan. Let us prepare. Let us know that he will fall. So, to our governors. I would hear your reports. The king's being incapacitated is no excuse to be lax in our duties! Is the governor of Jhelom present? *looks at dog* I truly hope this hound is not the representative of Jhelom.
Siege Perilous: *cackles*
Dupre: *marks Jhelom absent*
Tanager: *cough*
Dupre: So, what of New Magincia's governor? also, tardy *makes a note* Minoc? Have we a governor for Minoc?
Blind Otto: Aye!! Tis I
Siege Perilous: *cheers*
Dupre: very well then
Blind Otto: *clears throat* well, you see Minoc is full of ravenous lunatics
Siege Perilous: *agrees*
Blind Otto: they are breaking apart anything they come across they are evil!! they have no respect for the crown or for law
SpyderBite: To be fair.. there are probably evil folks on "many sides"
Blind Otto: but, enough about the Guild of Miners Concubines
Siege Perilous: *cackles*
Dupre: *splutters*
Torin: I saw the Minoc mines are closed?
Blind Otto: Aye. Great beasts lurk outside the mines and have caused a cave-in but, valiant rescuers have saved many a miner and the beasts are being driven back so please, noble warriors, continue your efforts Now, to the coffers I am glad to report that there is currently more than seventeen million in the bank so thank you to all who are tirelessly helping!
Dupre: *smiles*
Blind Otto: I have been asked to change the trade deal currently, it is allotted to the engineers guild which makes fighters more dexterous I have been asked to change it to the Bardic guild
which apparently helps slurring mages to speak more clearly and rapidly
Siege Perilous: *cackles*
Blind Otto: Oh, and I found a quicksilver elemental in my bed last night
Tanager: too much ale, I think
Blind Otto: the poor thing will need a vet well, that is all, other than to say that I hope our king recovers soon, and may that daemon's beard grow inwards and choke him! SOL INVICTUS!!!
Siege Perilous: *claps*
Dupre: *plugs ears*
Kimi Mori: *claps*
Tanager: *clap*
Torin: yeah Minoc the town with the big Music festivals.. in future
Magichands: *claps*
Dupre: erm yes, well. Indeed. Thank you for your report, governor and please do not bed anymore elementals *rolls eyes* Next, I believe, is the governor of Britain?
Starcon: Hail
Siege Perilous: and well met
Starcon: I must appologize to all Britainians
Dupre: *looks curious*
Starcon: I have been distracted as of late in another realm
Dupre: Not, I hope, the one that nearly took our king's life?
Starcon: where a foul beast named Harvey has recently spewed its spray over the land
Dupre: *nods*
Kimi Mori: *sad*
Starcon: my attention has been directed towards harveys aftermath as of late
Blind Otto: *looks depressed*
Dupre: a noble and worthy cause. Would that we could offer you aid!
Starcon: I can say that the Britain coffers are currenly over 17 million
Kimi Mori: *nods*
Blind Otto: Huzzah! As are Minocs!
Starcon: and we continue to run the Bardic Collegium trade deal now, if someone could point me in the direction of these Titian I keep hearing about
You see: Lady Siege Perilous [BLAK]
Starcon: maybe I can try to help with that problem also
Torin: its right now in Yew
Tanager: *peers out a window*
Torin: just got reports
Dupre: there are at least four that I know of. and aye, any help with them would be most welcome
Starcon: thank you
Dupre: thank you.
Carrick McGee: I stand to speak for Lady Sarah
Torin: some are fighting one icy wind titan right now
Carrick McGee: She has not been seen since exploring the tunnils in Trinsic with Sara Dale
Dupre: You are welcome then, good Questor
Carrick McGee: Very strange happenings in Trinsic and I am worried about her
Dupre: *makes note to send guards to the tunnels*
Dupre: Strange happenings?
Carrick McGee: The coffers do have 19 mill so she did not abscond with that. Yes! Carrick McGee: The workers dont help with the beasts!
Dupre: *nods*
Carrick McGee: Their are thieves all around that steal from the common folk
SpyderBite: *looks aroun innocently*
Carrick McGee: And Lady Sarah has never missed a meeting!
Dupre: Foul news!
Dupre: *glances to his left suspiciously*
Carrick McGee: I just pray she is found and is well!
Dupre: As do we all.
Tanager: *peers out another window*
Carrick McGee: Please, if anyone knows anything, or hears anything, let us know!
Dupre: I shall send a number of guards to investigate let us hope she is well
Carrick McGee: Thank you.
Dupre: grim tidings, this day. Grim indeed Dupre: and now, shall we hear from Magincia's governor?
Sorry but Kimi step up and gave her report not waiting for the Giant Knight to note that New Magincia was also absent.
Kimi Mori: Sir, At this time we have been able to keep the city treasury safe from the invasion forces, its current balance is 10,000, 783. Trade deal is still +2 MR, however the invasion is making it very difficult to conduct any trades between cities.
Dupre: *makes notes*
Kimi Mori: Still there are those brave souls that make runs regardless of the dangers.
Dupre: *nods* many brigands are about, indeed.
Kimi Mori: We all are also hoping for good news from the crown about these invaders!
Dupre: we have been fighting on all fronts, indeed they will know that they fought Britannians!
Kimi Mori: *nods*
Dupre: And, is Skara Brae's governor also missing?
Kimi Mori: *sign*
Dupre: well then, let us hear from Vesper's governor. I know King Blackthorn wanted to ask about some ledgers
Dupre: but he is incapacitated and may suffer some memory loss
SpyderBite: *phew* Good day citizens and fellow governors! I apologize that I was out of town on business while the bank heist was being investigated.
Tanager: how convenient
SpyderBite: But it sounds like it was handled well. My thanks to all participants. You have my gratitude and the gratitude of the citizens of Vesper.
Tanager: *claps*
Dupre: *reads certificate of knighthood that strangely appeared in front of him*
SpyderBite: The treasury in Vesper is adequately funded and the Bardic Collegium trade deal active
Blind Otto: eh?
SpyderBite: Currently we have around 11 million in the coffers Should any citizen of Vesper wish to change the deal to another please bring it up at these meetings. Or you can drop a note in my mailbox at the Governor's Residence just west of the NW bridge and SW of the Minoc moongate. With that said, I yield the floor to the fine Governor of Yew. *bows with a flourish*
Dupre: *makes notes* thank you Sir Spyderbite *reads strange certificate again, scratches head*
Dupre: I don't remember there being a "Y" in "Knighthood" *shrugs*
Tanager: *giggle*
SpyderBite: heh
Dupre: aye - let us hear how matters are in Yew!
Magichands: *giggles*
Torin: *makes a hummering noise*
Blind Otto: *looks concerned*
Torin: nothing to report... *grunts**
Dupre: nothing?
Torin: hmm I asked the king last time to help us against the people killing our sheeps havent seen any guards
Dupre: Aye. Notes I have here say guards were sent.
Torin: I asked the king to think of a marriage
Dupre: Perhaps a titan got them?
Torin: and now he was almost dieing I asked the king
Dupre: Alas, the king is in no shape for a wedding at present
Torin: to explore the crypts and now see we still have issues at our borders and now on top there is an invasion in our town what shall I report? have I been heard?
Dupre: Aye. *Makes more notes* Indeed, you are and I dare say the king would have dealt with these matters
Torin: my mother in law is pushing me
Dupre: were he able Your mother-in-law?
Torin: yes
SpyderBite: they are the worst aren't they?!
Dupre: Do you have a painting?
Torin: are you looking for a wife too= ? she is free
SpyderBite: lol
Dupre: No, but I hear that the royal mapmaker might be
Torin: and willing to give one of her daughters or herself hand I think he is not close her rank
Torin: but well
Dupre: well, I have made note of that. Just in case someone suitable comes along.
Dupre: But I fear that the king is in no condition for nuptuals
Torin: send us guards
Dupre: indeed!
Torin: Yew is the largest town
Dupre: the sheep situation shall be looked into
Torin: and brings the coren and fruits
Dupre: and the borders monitored
SpyderBite: did anybody ask Kelmo about the sheep?
Torin: ok
Dupre: *makes further notes*
Torin: next time I might report then with a well more situation *smirks

Blind Otto: I can speak briefly for Gilfane, milord All is well, and we are beating the invaders back on all fronts! that is all I have to report!
Dupre: thank you Now... Now, once again, the matter of that daemon. If you are not a warrior, then send word for those who are! You will need to attack carefully. Take many a healer, and many a strong beast.
Dupre: You will need to co-operate, and watch each other's backs. The king, before his wounds overcame his resolute will, was able to tell me that the beast is in the dungeon of Fire, beneath this very isle! Seek him. Slay him. Show these invaders that we mean business! Truth! Courage! Love! This is what we fight for!
Blind Otto: SOL INVICTUE!!!
Dupre: *looks at Otto* is he well? Now go - gather your forces! Let this night be filled with daemon blood!

Tanager: send him our best wishes please
Dupre: but I hope you will be able to defeat the daemon before the night is over
Magichands: yes
Tanager: his kingdom misses him
Dupre: I most certainly shall
Magichands: we'll try or we'll die trying
Tanager: well except for the zomie theoriests
Dupre: *nods sadly* well, they have been disproven I shall go and look in on him. He is my king, and my friend.
Tanager: *salutes*
Dupre: thank you for all you do for this kingdom I salute you all! *bows*
Nightwind: *salutes*
Dupre: farewell, noble citizens!
With those words he quickly left the chambers, several followed closely upon his heels as they all sought a last word before he could leave.
