Siege Governor’s Meeting 8-11-18

Greetings all.  Is Max in Love ♥?  Naw, never mind, can’t be, you were wearing to much perfume Kenzie and it went straight to your head.  That can be the only answer for the standing near you, following you through your moongate, making sure to stand as close as possible to you, naw can’t be.  (please note Max was only in RP and Kenzie loves the attention)

Tonight’s meeting Kenzie made sure to use the new portal at the Brit Hub for this meeting.  The meeting started (twice) when Morgan Ironfist arrived and left;

Morgan Ironfist:  Meeting is too late for me.  Magincia is doing fine.  Money for the Assassins Trade Deal will suffice for the term, so have a good meeting.

The King arrived, looks around at the mild chaos that had occurred and jokes with all there.

King Blackthorn: *looks suspiciously at blood-stains*

SpyderBite: How is the zombie.. err his majesty this day?

King Blackthorn: Ah, you heard of the zombie fever outbreak!   I am glad to report it has been contained and the Royal Healer is working on a cure for the citizens of Cove 

SpyderBite: *chuckles*

Phaedrin Agrivar: *I heard it was Disco Fever*

King Blackthorn: No, no - that was in the small village of D'ance, in the Ocllo isles but they are on top of that as well

Kenzie Mori: they should test it on Spiderbite , this cure to be sure it works as it should

King Blackthorn: it is sad that they could not send a representative, but they tell me that they're all shook up, and could not come due to great balls of fire

SpyderBite: Its true that I'll drink anything though

Phaedrin Agrivar: Blind Otto is probably teaching them lymerics

King Blackthorn: Well, shall we begin this meeting? Aye? Well then, I call this meeting to order!

*bangs table*

Drakelord

And with that the meeting was no longer the social club of the evening but a meeting of the Council of Siege’s Governors and HRM.

King Blackthorn: Let us hear from the governor of Jhelom!

Tanager: Jhelom is doing well, all things considered

Siege Perilous: *nods*

King Blackthorn: good, good

Tanager: Trade deal is active, granting mana regen for those who wish.  The orcs do not seem inclined to invade the city, so all is well

King Blackthorn: *nods*

Zugt'Hagz: *grins toothely*

Tanager: Not much else to report, I fear

King Blackthorn: I shall bring word on the orcs soon.  I also hear that your city coffers have... *rummages through notes*  8,951,500 gold!   well done!

Tanager: pssst don’t tell the Jhelom citizens i jinx ed us!

King Blackthorn: That trade deal seems profitable!

SpyderBite: Holy crap.. I may have to relocate my "operation"

Tanager: Ah, the citizens work hard for the coffers!

King Blackthorn: I note that the governor of New Magincia is not present. I hope no harm has befallen Lord Ironfish?  *checks notes*   Lord Ironsides?

Starcon: gave a report and left

King Blackthorn: *makes note to have scribe flogged*

Siege Perilous: unforgivable

Tanager: *looks at empty seats*

King Blackthorn: good to know

Tanager: At least there was an effort...

King Blackthorn: Let us hear then, from Minoc's governor. I hear the coffers are growing, now that the governor can actually SEE them!

Siege Perilous: Sir, good evening sir.

King Blackthorn: *nods regally*

SpyderBite: All those fat purses.. I really need to consider relocating

Siege Perilous: there is nothing new or unusual to report at this time, sir.  Minoc coffers are at 26+ million

King Blackthorn: Good. Business as usual, then?

Siege Perilous: i do have a request sir.

King Blackthorn: certainly!

King Blackthorn: *readys royal pen*

Siege Perilous: several of my citizens have pointed out to me that the casino north of the rewards hall has fallen into disrepair  the slot machines are not working  the dart game is not working  the beach has dried up   i request this be remedied sir

King Blackthorn: What! That is terrible! I shall send word to the royal tinkers and repairmen at once!

Siege Perilous: sir, thank you sir.

Tanager: And girls. Servings girls!

SpyderBite: *looks up interested*

King Blackthorn: *makes copious notes*

Siege Perilous: *nods in respect*

King Blackthorn: well, thank you, governor.  I am glad you brought that to my notice

Siege Perilous: aye sir

King Blackthorn: Now, where is Lord Starcon? I am sure I heard his horse earlier.  aha  How fares Britain, sir?

Starcon: Greetings All is well in Britain

King Blackthorn: So I hear! 42 million, according to the last report to reach me!

Starcon: The treasury is at 42 million and we continue to with the Bardic Collegium Trade Deal

(I am sure Spiderbite head was swimming with all the purses in Brit)

Drakelord

King Blackthorn: You are to be commended.

Saint: *applause*

Starcon: The only other thing to report

Magichands: *claps*

Starcon: is that it appears we had a pig trailer overturn in Britain this morning

Saint: lol

King Blackthorn: A - pig trailer?

Starcon: and there are a bunch of Boars running about town

King Blackthorn: Surely the local butcher can attend to it?

SpyderBite: We call that "All you can eat BBQ"

Starcon: we may be having bacon and pork ribs for dinner

Magichands: lol

King Blackthorn: Indeed!

Starcon: Thank You

King Blackthorn: Well, that may affect the pork market for a while, but I doubt the citizens will complain.  Thank you for all the good work you do!

Calavera: *clears throat*

Bo: yo

King Blackthorn: Greetings, Lord Calavera.

Calavera: I speak for Moonglow this day

King Blackthorn: Not more pigs, I hope?

Calavera: While the treasury does have 8 million  The governor has become...ill

Tanager: oh no

Siege Perilous: *Gasps*

Calavera: She ask that I encourage all to avoid the Lyceum this week as its scholars and the governor are confined to quarters

King Blackthorn: Sad news, indeed. I trust she is drawing on the Governor's health allowance?

SpyderBite: Zombie Flu?

Calavera: A most aggressive case of syphilis has taken hold

King Blackthorn: Hmm. I see.

Calavera: And we wish it not to spread to your majesty

SpyderBite: Oh snap!

Calavera: No other news to report

King Blackthorn: There is little fear of that happening. *checks cast iron leggings*  Thank you for your report!  We seem to have accidentally bypassed Trinsic.  Is there a representative here?  Well, my spies *cough* auditors report that they have fifteen million in the coffers so, even if absent, Governor Sarah is doing her job.  Is Governor Carrick McGee of Skara Brae present?   No? Well, we will dock his pay then.  Skara Brae's coffers are in a severe state of neglect, I am sorry to report.  They have a mere 319 974 gold pieces in them.   If any good citizens feel inclined to help that town, I am sure that would be welcome.  In the meantime, if Governor McGee does not improve his tactics soon, I shall be forced to place a bounty on his head

 *prepares work order for wanted poster*

Kenzie Mori: *looks up at that word*

King Blackthorn: Now, an even more concerning matter Vesper is currently ungoverned.  Yes, citizen?

Magichands: sorry your majesty

King Blackthorn: Do you have something to contribute?

Magichands: but he is a bit shy

Ol'Rac Nnod: I was Baron o Vesper, and recently left Earl o Britain once seein Vesper ungoverned

King Blackthorn: *nods*

Ol'Rac Nnod: I have spent the last weeks raisin the coffers from 5 mil to 7 mil there

Max Blackoak: *stares*

King Blackthorn: *checks notes*

Magichands: lol

King Blackthorn: so you have!   well done!

Ol'Rac Nnod: was hopin' to request if it pleases ye to take the seat o' Gov o Vesper

Magichands: *claps*

Siege Perilous: sir, i support Ol'rac's claim and further more support him

SpyderBite: *nods approval*

King Blackthorn: Well, I will put that to the standing governors,  but it seems there is another applicant behind you.  Let us hear from him first, and then we will vote on the matter.  Sir Max, what say you?

Max Blackoak: *stares

King Blackthorn: *stares at note of commendation for Max Blackoak that has mysteriously appeared on the table*

Nightwind: is there love in the air?

Tanager: *feels a little bit creeped out*

Magichands: Can you feel the love tonight !

SpyderBite: These are not the droids you're looking for?

Half-Life: adorable

Zugt'Hagz: Dis sum kindu hummie maytin dance?

King Blackthorn: Do you have something to say, Maxwell Blackoak?

Max Blackoak: *shakes head slowly*   *stares*

King Blackthorn: Very well.  Let us hear the vote on Lord Nnod's application. All in favor, say "AYE"

There were loud shouts of AYEs across the chamber and a single nay

King Blackthorn: All opposed, say "NAY"  The ayes have it.  If you would meet me at the town stone after this meeting, we will see to the necessary ceremony and congratulations.

Bo: good day from the land of luna

King Blackthorn: What a nice surprise! Here we have the Liege of Luna

Siege Perilous: *CHEERS WILDLY*

King Blackthorn: What have you to report, Ma'am?

Bo: it seems we have the same empty seats at this meeting every week

King Blackthorn: Indeed. Some will be fined, other will be pursued to death.

Bo: and alot of the same people here in the audience  the casino  what a great place  and we have been enjoying alot lately

Siege Perilous: *nods*

Zugt'Hagz: *hic*

Bo: could we get more games and such?   and a more important question is where does that money go?

Zugt'Hagz: *hic*

King Blackthorn: I already have a works order, which will be looked into regarding the casino.  Max Blackoak: roulettes!!!

King Blackthorn: The funds are recycled into the casino, for wages, equipment repair, and the like

Bo: couldn’t we put the money lost into towns?

King Blackthorn: any profits are invested wisely in the kingdom

Bo: oh your pocket?

Kenzie Mori: *gasp*

Bo: or at least bo has heard from Gil

King Blackthorn: No, no. I live a humble lifestyle, with only one or two legions of guards

SpyderBite: heh.. I used that strategy in Vesper too.. lucrative.. *snickers*

Siege Perilous: *gasp*

Max Blackoak: *stares*

Bo: one last thing and bo will be gone

King Blackthorn: The good of the citizens is my foremost goal

(Bo last thing was of the Gods of our World and a question asked of them when they last visited Siege)

King Blackthorn: now, Did I see a representative of Safe haven earlier?   *looks around hopefully*   no?  Well, if there are no more reports, let me read to you from these notes...  The recent attacks by orcs have been almost completely routed their leaders have been slain, and their power sources have been taken from them.  Apparently, this entire invasion was caused by an ambitious orc who spread lies and half-truths in their camp he used dark magic to manipulate, lie, and connive his way to power.  As soon as we have his location, we will strike.  Look for word later this month.  We will show no mercy

Bo: no mercy!

King Blackthorn: For all the woes he has inflicted on our land, and on the meer... he will pay But, before that, there will be a practice hunt, should anyone wish to attend, next week

Tanager: *nods*

King Blackthorn: I have a memo here asking that anyone who wishes to gather keys for attacking the various monsters who feel they are "peerless"

Siege Perilous: *nods*

Magichands: :P

King Blackthorn: Beyond that, there is little to report. Apparently, a swarm on mongbats is approaching from the south

Tanager: heh

King Blackthorn:  so please remember to lock all your windows and bring your washing in tonight well, if there are no other matters for this council....?   : I declare this meeting adjourned. Lord Nnod, please meet me in Vesper, at the town stone shortly. *bangs table*

{Meeting over, as we all moved to witness a new Governor take office for the city of Vesper.}
