"Get set up Isaac.  I don't think we'll need you today, but always better to be prepared."

Go meet up with the boss.  Basically, we want to hang out and get the words.  We're okay with these other boys, but there needs to be room for us too.  Maybe some of the other guards would be okay working for us?  In return we mostly don't want them working with the other gangs.. they can provide metal to let the workers in other places do their jobs, even other gang-controlled areas, but no major projects for places run by the other gangs.  Wait and see if anyone objects.

You walk over, past the rest of the guards and anyone else in your way, and finally find the foreman standing around near a furnace, directing the filling of a crucible.  Before you can really say much to him he gets extremely nervous. He runs his mouth for a bit, but the general gist you get is that the Tradesmen are getting Extremely pissed off about these gangs invading their territory and that they've started treating collaborators and those who surrender with...fatal levels of disapproval. He says more, something about a coming reckoning and such but nothing particularly coherent.

Seems like they've got him scared; too scared to just defect out of apathy or mild threats.

"Sure thing, boss!"

Plant and set up the greatbow, preparing for any fight that could happen, but not attacking anyone yet.

Fine then, I've got a different offer for you.  Don't none of you start nothing while we talk, or the whole place gets blown up.

Enchant the ground around us with Dome, walling me in with the foreman with the others outside the dome.

Spoiler: offer (click to show/hide)

There.  Now we're alone.  Here's the new offer, you say no, we walk outta here.  But maybe that's not what's best for you.

Firstly, we don't have to take over here, or even move in to get the words.  I wanna make sure the other gangs don't move in here and there's metal available for basic projects, like ladders or reinforcing doors or such.  Those heretic fuckwads like walking about on fleshpits and being carried by tentacle beasts, and I don't trust that shit.  We can order it through runners and such and don't need to be here to do that.

All I want is for you to let us do business with you, and to not do business with the other gangs.  We just want pretty normal shit, no giant cannons or creepy doom machines, just some furniture that's not made out of human spines.  Anything else you want, like to let us know if the other gangs are moving on you, and you want backup, or if you want help because the tradesmen kicked you to the curb or threatened your family, that's up to you.

So what do you say?  Yes?  No?

Spoiler: Roncol Roth eyes only, please (click to show/hide)

So. Tradesmen are getting pissed, preparing a reckoning for us all. That very definantly means US, as we were the first to take territory here, and have two sites already. My instinct is that destroying the tower will halt these machinations, and if all three gangs worked together we could take it pretty easy. And everyone has territory here, it's in their interests too. Only real problem is who gets the site afterwards...
I wrote the below in reaction, but it's a pretty big piece if strategy and a decision that I won't make for syv. This is what I'd do if I were in charge here, but I'm not. I'll just say that ignoring the traders entirely for more that like one turn might give us a battle we would find hard to win.
I'll admit it's a slightly metagamey thing to do, as this is based on intel given to SA, but I think we'd probably be getting similar signs.

He runs his mouth for a bit, but the general gist you get is that the Tradesmen are getting Extremely pissed off about these gangs invading their territory and that they've started treating collaborators and those who surrender with...fatal levels of disapproval. He says more, something about a coming reckoning and such but nothing particularly coherent.

Hmph. I knew those guys would end being a pain. Maybe us mages aught to get together and knock those smug bastards in their tower down a notch. We could either put a third party in charge and agree to split the words or just knock the eyesore down with enchantments.

Roncal Roth _{^{Map Legend}}

Just keep shooting, but locate Pancaek and be sure to stay near him.  I may want to enchant his ammo.

Spoiler: Roncal Roth (click to show/hide)

Hmm.  I agree, it'd be a good idea to knock down the tower, and I would very much like to bring about cooperation between the gangs.  Right now though, it's a bit too OOC to do; we can't call out that particular character, because no PC aside from Thag should even be aware of his stance.

As for encouragement... I'm considering just giving the hex to Cosa Nostra.  They're less threatening than Dev's gang in my eyes, and definitely more reliably manipulable; I'm less worried about them betraying us after we give them such a gift.  Giving them the hex also all but ensures their cooperation--they get a powerful hex *and* help with conquering it!--which puts pressure on Dev to join as well.  If he doesn't cooperate, he's left as the only leader who hasn't cooperated in the past.

Of course, none of this is safe at all.  RR is already the largest target, and double-crossing us during a cooperative invasion would be an excellent way to decapitate us.  The death of our gang is worth far more than the hex, so the others don't even have strong incentive to play nice.  If we do go through with this plan, we'd have to arrange things so that a successful betrayal is difficult.

Spoiler: offer (click to show/hide)

There.  Now we're alone.  Here's the new offer, you say no, we walk outta here.  But maybe that's not what's best for you.

Firstly, we don't have to take over here, or even move in to get the words.  I wanna make sure the other gangs don't move in here and there's metal available for basic projects, like ladders or reinforcing doors or such.  Those heretic fuckwads like walking about on fleshpits and being carried by tentacle beasts, and I don't trust that shit.  We can order it through runners and such and don't need to be here to do that.

All I want is for you to let us do business with you, and to not do business with the other gangs.  We just want pretty normal shit, no giant cannons or creepy doom machines, just some furniture that's not made out of human spines.  Anything else you want, like to let us know if the other gangs are moving on you, and you want backup, or if you want help because the tradesmen kicked you to the curb or threatened your family, that's up to you.

So what do you say?  Yes?  No?

You summon up a...tiny kitten. A tiny kitten that is every color of the rainbow. Like a living plush doll for 4 year old girls.

Prepare to shoot the closest enemy once the fight starts (if it does).

You point out the moose to the guards. They sort of just...stare at it. Admittedly, it is a thing of beauty.

Is there a reason I only got a single roll this time?

Reload, then keep shooting, not much else to do with limited mobility.

You pop a man in the back as he flees. It feels good but you don't know if its gonna do you much good as it is.

Cosa Nostra

Run towards the fleeing enemy while emptying the clip at them.

Surely a flaming guy firing wildly is terrifying enough that they'll stop burning the place down.

You manage to put yourself out and get up, despite the burns. You run at the fleeing enemies, firing the whole time.
[10v4]
You mow down several of them before the rest can get away.
