Chapter 52: Meanwhile in Licheville
Gather up all the men who were looking to become a Knight and take them to the rooftop of the pub. Explain to them all that the Kings have decided that they deserve a promotion after all that they've done for the gang. Assign each Knight as follows:
Berk is my Knights
Paul, Sean, and Jonah are Mason's Knights
Mal is Aaron's Knight
Doug is Dave's Knight
and Fyfe is Ryan's Knight
Tell them they should all be proud of their new positions, and should they need any help with their current operations that they ought to contact and work with their respective Kings. Proceed to give them the phone numbers of all the kings and try to answer any questions they might have.
After that's all taken care of, ask Doug and Berk to stay behind so we can discuss the operations they plan on doing involving our cars and our territorial expansion
Trent calls Berk along with several special footsoldiers up to the roof of the pub. He speaks, "The Kings have decided that you all have excelled in your duties as footsoldiers, and as of now, have achieved the rank of Knights." There is an excited murmur through the crowd. "This new rank comes with much more responsibility and power than you had previously. You will be expected to oversee several important tasks and operations. In addition, we've decided you each to a certain King who you will apprentice under, and take direct orders from." He hands them each a small note. "That is the name and phone number of your King. Get to them and see what they want. Also, you all should be proud. Good job." They all depart to leave, talking to each other about the event, when Trent tells Doug and Berk to stay. They do so, "So, what do you need us for?"
Continue training, then ask if anyone knows anything about vehicle maintenance.
(4) The class goes well.
(+Footsoldier Knife Exp) He asks if any of them know about vehicle maintenance. One of them mentions he has a friend who works at an auto shop.
AARON PAAAWNCH!
Aaron sucker-punches the man. (6+1) In scientific terms, the man gets
knocked the fuck out. Aaron gets a phone call from Mal. "So, what do you want me to do as your Knight, man?"
With Fyfe assistance, set up what we already have while waiting for the rest, and tutor Fyfe in the finer points so he could take over if needed.
Fyfe comes over as Ryan's new apprentice. He grins and the two walk to the back of the basement, where he sets a series of tubes, beakers and other structures down. He speaks to her about the cooking process, (5+1(Fyfe Related Skill: Medic=+1)=7) and his clear instructions, along with her medical knowledge, ensures she knows the basics quickly.
(+1 Meth Cooking) (Mail Order coming in 2 Turns.)
Keep scouting for a bit, then return to base if nothing interesting is found.
Alex probes deeper into Vice Lord Territory. (3) He spots a group of Vice Lords walking into a building. He moves forward, but he notices an armed guard behind the front door. Hmm.
Realising he had no money in his pockets.
Mason quietly puts the matches in his pockets and then looks around for a few more minutes, before heading out.
Mason reaches into his pocket and feels nothing. Whoops. He looks at the different stuff the store has, it's usually convenience store stuff. Over the counter drugs, soft drinks, children's toys, magazines, hygienic products. He walks out, and runs into Paul, Sean and Jonah. "Yo! What's up?"
"Hello Imari my name is Blake Jessop"
ask Imari what he deals in and inquire if him and the gang can make a deal and work together on business. As well buy some grenades, also inquire if be will buy things from us or sell things for us
Send a text message to the kings
I have found us a contact to buy and well things from
"Hello Imari, my name is Blake Jessop." "Please to meet you Blake." Blake looks at a box of grenades. "So, how much?" Imari strokes his goatee. "18 pounds each. They're good quality." Blake nods. "I'm part of the
Syndicate, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to do business with us. We could help each other out." "Yes, I have heard of your organization. Trade would be a fine idea." Blake sends out a text that Imari is a good dealer for explosives and other things. P looks over Blake's shoulder and watches him send the text.
William heads out to greet them with a warm expression on his face. Though the prisoners had disappointed, hopefully, these emissaries would have more helpful information.
"Hello, it's a pleasure. May I ask why you've come here? How did your request go?"
"Hello, it's a pleasure. May I ask why you've come here? How did your request go?" "We've come back to repay you for your duties. The request went greatly, the
Hawkson Boys on the East side of town in a scramble. Now, we have $500 ready for you, unless you'd rather be paid in a different way." The other Long Shou opens up a briefcase, where inside rests a freshly painted H&K Assault Rifle.
