2. Oxford- micelus
Reading any material you can get your hands on, you try to build a picture of the king and those close to him. (5) You find a wealth of information:
The king is a strong Christian, believer in the divine right to kingship and firm socialist. He rejects any ideas of a commonwealth, and communism offends him. He has friends in very high places (naturally) including the mayors of most cities and business owners.
However, he does have one visible enemy: the mayor of Dublin.With this information in your mind, you prepare for the appointment.
Next turn will be the kings appointment, an extended turn for you. No action needed.Name: Baron Henry Ferriswroth

Hearing a commotion from the shop you dive for the door, fling it open and leave the area (5), having no further trouble.

4. Cardiff- Riccto
Trying to put on a more curious voice, you enquire as to whether this man may have any like-minded friends. (5)
"Others? Yes, there's a bunch of us. Sometimes we make the odd protest, maybe posting some letters, but nothing violent. We just want change, that's all."
Every nerve is screaming for you to reveal your mission to this man, although he sounds like a pacifist.
What will you do?
