"Kero, I thank you for you understanding in the matter. I was trapped - my leg is not as it once was, an old mining injury," she lifts her pant leg to show the scar on her leg, "which makes it hard to bend or move my leg in certain ways made it more difficult for me to free myself from some of the rubble. By the time I got free, the water was too deep for me to get to her."
IC: Good, now this matter is finally settled.
[sighs] ... I have but one more piece of business to attend to, while we are all here [pulls out sheet of paper]:
On reflection of recent events I have concluded that change is needed, in order to prevent future accidents. Thus it is y-... my regrettable duty to call for Dwarf4Explosives removal from the council and for Cain Olinasteb to join as her replacement.
This is ... [coughs] This is done with ... [looks down at note, before hastily continuing] ... done with no ill will towards Dwarf4Explosives, but she has shown herself to be lacking in what is required for the position of Councillor.
It is my understanding that Cain would be a welcome addition to the council, and that he will do well for the settlement, but for that to happen, one of our ... less sound of mind members must be removed.
[Hasty addition] I should hope that she can forgive me for being so crass, but it really must be said.

OOC: Welp, now its out there in the open. I was going to do this earlier (proposal has vaguely been in the working for weeks), but decided to hold off on it when D4X left in case they decided to come back, but I suppose if I don't get this done now then I'll just keep putting it off, which wouldn't be fair on Cain (though he kept getting cold feet too). Assuming I read the rules right, Cain counts as +1 due to being the replacement, and D4X has less Influence than both Kerod and Cain. Gosh, Kerod's being a tad hypocritical here, eh.
falseEdit: Damn, I was hoping to have this post ready for neblime and the rest of you being online, now I may need to wait until tomorrow. Damn my slow little fingers
