[3man75]

The only problem I see is the fact that I'm marrying into the biggest crime family in the country and they rule this towns criminal underworld.

Head of the police and son in law to the big honcho of criminals in this town is a bit of a clash. On the other hand it means I can make sure the enforcers never take on my family avoiding the inevitable war that follows armed enforcers taking on a small private army in the middle of town.

Exactly as I see it especially since you can replace some of the more rigid enforcers
With your crime families goons.

[PewdsRocks]

Oh I'm not bringing crime family into the enforcers, I'm not taking over just to replace old corruption with new corruption. I'm going to stamp out crime in the city. The gangs with me become new enforcers and will earn a generous wage and the whole gang thing is gone.
Or they can join my families people.

Or they can mysteriously die. I'm going to clean the city up. We need popular support from the people to make this work and stamping out crime and giving a better quality of life will bring in a lot of support.
As well as being a good staging ground for me to launch a career going from city to city repeating the process and placing trusted men of my own recruiting to replace me when I move on.

In time dice willing I'll rule the combined enforcers forces of a huge swath of land as well as having the support of a massive amount of the population. Include a corruption free military from Sheb and a corruption free informer force from Patrick and Gunin and we have a fantastic way to earn support without looking like rebels at all.
The Viceroy can't move against us for being honorable upstanding citizens looking out for our fellow people without inspiring a mass revolt against himself.

Corruption has to go, if we want the people to back us then we need to back them first and earn that respect and loyalty. That does include you Funk. If you create a gang and it slips into criminal activity against the people then I can't let it slide.
Hurting the Viceroys supporters is fine but don't kill or cause severe harm to the civilians caught in the crossfire.


We need to find you a long term job 3man. Playing logistics for me is only short term it'd be a waste of your character when I could hire mooks to do it. What could you do?

[3man75]

Don't worry I have a new idea

[PewdsRocks]

Luck has struck. I rolled a 10 convincing the nephew to get the fat corrupt warden replaced. Then rolled another 10 convincing him to let me take over his job for him though he remains in charge on paper.
That simplifies things a lot I'm now or soon will be running both prisons and the nephew is my new bff.

[PewdsRocks]

So one of you is spying on me. Which has upset the Nephew a great deal. So you now have both the 1st and 2nd most powerful people in the city hunting for you to help me out and neither of them is the type to be merciful. They also have the best spies and investigators in the city on call.

I suggest owning up so I can call them off or running for your life. Oh also you need better spies a half drunk overgrown kid spotted your tail on me.

So anybody want to come clean or do I just wait for them to catch you then leave them to kill you?

[Sheb]

Same here. We can't have that kind of stuff within our group. Owe up now, or I'll have you shot by the VAC cannons once we get it.

Oh god...A civil war within our ranks as is? We don't even make a threat to the viceroy and we've been hiding ourselves so we wouldn't be found. Now were going to start up a racket downstairs WITHOUT it helping us? Whoever it is lay your cards on the table and we'll forgive you right guys? We can just bring some poor sod's body in as proof to the nephew that the "trouble" is long gone.

[PewdsRocks]

I don't really care about punishment, they actually sort of helped me since the spy getting spotted played right into my hands with the nephew. I just want to know who is spying on me.

What did you do to him? I'm guessing he ran away?

[PewdsRocks]

The nephew's guards scared him off. But it led to me asking for the names of some good agents and rolling my 3rd 10 in a single conversation. So yeah. Now warden of both prisons and know who all the best agents in town are.

I call that a good 10 miute chat with a guy I just met while at a party. Also he does seem to resent his uncle a bit. Might be something to play on later.

[Sheb]

Anyway, I doubt whoever did it will try it again. No more meetings for a while I guess. I'll try to get a job in the capital as soon as possible.

[PewdsRocks]

Might be a waste of time, it's so early that you'd be stuck in the capital for who knows how long. We can't move until we have all the rest of the country or at least enough of it to give us a fighting chance on our side.
That's a lot of space to cover.

Also isn't part of the country at open war? Anyone have extra info on that? Media dissent say much more than "we beat them!"

[Sheb]

Well, we need to scatter. For everyone to stay here is a loss of time.

[PewdsRocks]

I guess but we need to get your cell into command of the army in town not just the VAC. Unless your gonna put them at my command so I can continue working at it then you need to stay,
