PM to Brewster:
I really, really liked your plan... but:
1. Grimnir will forbid you this time from openly killing the humans, since last time you surprised him by acting out of your own initiative. Grimnir is still the ideological boss here, so you'll have to listen to him.
2. And your plan, while smart, no one's going to believe you. It would imply the Crown were fighting the humans all of a sudden, for no reason. Foul play will obviously be suspected, and Grimnir will kick your ass. Not by force, but you don't want Grimnir as your enemy, do you?
3. There are 20 migrants in the group with the humans and the Crown marksdwarves. Openly killing them is not an option. Unless you really want to go there.
4. Shinn gets let in in AWinter's RP. AWinter in OOC still says the way is still open for your plan though, and proposes that perhaps Shinn gets invited in while Blackdiamonds do their little trickery up above. But with Shinn alive, you can easily be accused. And Grimnir, like I said, is very much inclined to believe him, whether he likes Shinn or not. And like I said, the populace is mostly against killing the humans. Post all the propaganda you want. Grimnir's the hero here. If you want to win the populace's heart, relate the Blackdiamonds more to Grimnir.
I do propose an alternate plan:
So, Shinn's band and the human traders make it in. Brewster storms out the fort with his henchmen. To hunt. Human caravan leaves the fort after awhile, but through the woods... oh dear me! Goblin ambush! Or so we tell accusors
And hell, I like this so much, I'm going to put this on the main thread instead of a PM to Brewster. People probably aren't going to know what I'm saying, so lets just say Brewster has a plan to kill the Crown's marksdwarves and the humans in one sweep, but I'm naming the disadvantages that puts him at. Of course, he's still free (to an extent) to do whatever he wants. PM me, Brewster, what you'd like to do one last time before I work on the update. The Blackdiamond is in control, after all. Railroaded control, but that really can't be helped.
Anyway, update coming soon, folks.
Also, Zombi, just to clarify, the one who gets beat up is the redneck dwarf, who was beating up a mountain dwarf, right? Either way it seems like Grau the doctor and perhaps whoever passes for Captain of the Guard will need to deal with you guys.
And yes, Amish, I'll do my best to dwarf you.
