Kyle walks in looking triumphant.
"I have found my list! I don't know why the cook had it but that's neither here nor there. So, I have favors with The Effortless Cleric, Archibald IV (2 Piety, 1 Etiquette) The Learned Knight, Greg the Learned (2 Knowledge, 1 Might) and The Erudite Noble, Steven the Pleasant. (2 Knowledge, 1 Etiquette)

Harriet look over to Kyle "May I borrow your Cleric for my proposal, Mr Johnson?"

[kj1225]

"Yes you may."

[Grek]

"You know, with Kyle having two good scholars, we could very well be able to solve this poisonings issue after all. What say you all?"

(OOC:who are you talking to? I assume me, but...)

"You know, with Kyle having two good scholars, we could very well be able to solve this poisonings issue after all. What say you all?"

OOC: I think Grek/Mehlenna was addressing the whole council, hence the "you all" part.

"It certainly looks a lot more promising now. Here is the updated optimal composition for the proposal."

Code: [Select]

--- Cinad ---
Devout Swindler     -              2 Guile,     1 Piety
--- Harriet ---
* Corrupt Noble       -            2 Guile,     1 Etiquette
--- Kyle ---
Erudite Noble       -              2 Knowledge, 1 Etiquette
--- Mehlenna ---
Royal Library       - 1 Knowledge
Pious Elder         -              2 Knowledge, 1 Piety
--- Pangaea ---
Interior Ministry   - 2 Guile
Faithful Scholar    -              2 Knowledge, 1 Piety
--- Wolfgang ---
* Cat Burglar         -            2 Guile,     1 Gold

Total Resources: 8 Guile, 7 Knowledge


"The contacts marked with stars are currently assigned to the proposal on the Dangerous Fanatic, which would have to be dropped. There's not enough guileful folks around to handle both crises. If Wolfgang gets to present the proposal on the Poisonings, this might not be a problem.

Personally, I am in favor of this proposal. It would remove a looming threat and demonstrate that we can work together. There should even be enough resources to go ahead with Harriet's proposal too. I'll take a look at that now."

Pangaea starts leafing through parchments and taking notes.

"Here we go. Almost an extravagant effort for a crisis of that magnitude. Another failure is the last thing we need, though, so being scrupulous is not a bad thing. Still, to include the Stylish Banker might be a waste of gold, given the state of the Treasury."

[Iituem]

Two days, then I'm compiling actions and doing a turn.  Fair warning.

[Mopsy]

Pangaea was somewhat taken aback by the deafening silence that followed her presentation.
"...
Not what the council wanted to hear, I suppose. Let's work with what's already on the table, then. Wolfgang's proposed pacification of the Dangerous Fanatic looks quite safe. As for Cinad's Heresy cum Reformation program, I maintain that this isn't the right time to make that decision. Harriet's effort to reverse the Agent Exodus is commendable, but without additional resources, it will surely fail.

I don't want any more failures. If anyone can offer any deal that will strengthen the kingdom, I will be interested. Au revoir, my Sirs and Ladies."

Pangaea, looking worried and tired, leaves the council chamber.

[micelus]

Cinad shrugged. "Oh, I seem to have been forgetting something. I'll pledge the support of a Devout Swindler (2 Guile, 1 Piety) to these Poisonings as well the Foreign Ministry (3 Etiquette) and a Wrathful Priest (2 Piety, 1 Might) to our Exodus problem. While I'm quite sure father Patrenko would rather we side with our agents, I can see that will not be happening anytime soon. I will be withdrawing my proposal on the heterodoxy."

[Mopsy]

Pangaea pops her head back in through the door.
"The Faithful Scholar (2 Knowledge, 1 Piety) and the assets of the Interior Ministry (2 Guile) would also be available for dealing with the Scholarly Poisonings. Someone would have to actually make the proposal, though. I'd make it myself, but that might not be the best idea..."

[Mopsy]

Pangaea returns from an extra-late supper.
"It appears that there will be no proposal on the Poisonings this month, so I'll have the Interior Ministry (2 Guile) support the proposal on the Dangerous Fanatic instead. If I'm not mistaken, the council's plan for November now looks like this."

Current proposals

Code: [Select]

Wolfgang Arnoldsson proposes a solution to the Dangerous Fanatic crisis, using his Cat Burglar (2 Guile, 1 Gold).
Harriet Bradley supports the proposal with the aid of a Corrupt Noble (2 Guile, 1 Etiquette).
Mehlenna Blusterant supports the proposal with the aid of a Stylish Banker (2 Gold, 1 Etiquette).
Pangaea Homologue supports the proposal with the aid of a Holy Expert (2 Gold, 1 Piety) and the Interior Ministry (2 Guile).
Total Resources: 5 Gold, 6 Guile

Harriet Bradley proposes a solution to the Agent Exodus crisis, using her Sly Gentleman (2 Etiquette, 1 Guile).
Wolfgang Arnoldsson supports the proposal with the aid of a Skillful Cleric (2 Piety, 1 Gold).
Kyle Johnson supports the proposal with the aid of an Effortless Cleric (2 Piety, 1 Etiquette).
Cinad supports the proposal with the aid of the Foreign Ministry (3 Etiquette) and a Wrathful Priest (2 Piety, 1 Might).
Total Resources: 6 Etiquette, 6 Piety


OOC: I'm assuming that Kyle's "Yes you may." means that he's supporting Harriet's proposal on the Exodus. I'd add my Faithful Scholar (2 Knowledge, 1 Piety) to that proposal as well, but as far as I can tell, no crisis ever requires more of the second resource, so it wouldn't help at all. Scratch that, the Weylander Emissaries crisis from turn two was described as requiring "Gold & Guile", but the actual amounts required were 3 Guile and only 2 Gold. Adding my scholar still seems wasteful, though. Feel free to lambast me if the proposal turns out to require exactly 6 Etiquette and 7 Piety.

"It could've been worse. Is everyone ready to take this to the King for approval?"
OOC: No further actions, unless there are objections, new ideas, etc.

[micelus]

"I'll have to withdraw my support for the Poisoinings then since we lack a proposer...We're goin' to have our heads nobbed off for this mistake I believin'."

[scapheap]

"I feel confident in my proposal's chances."
