Sneak along with Charles. Sneakily.

((Point out the redundancy. Redundantly.))

"I don't like the bracelets, but I can forgive you." Nuriel put an arm around Selina.

((The WHAT?!?))

"B-because its... its still freaky when a... a little girl changes into a... a full grown women... wh-who may or may not hate me..." Selina is a little pale looking.

"Why do you think that? You're a great woman. I really like you."

"Don't give Nuriel ideas for next time she takes a hostage." Conny whispers to Maria.

"You think that's a good idea?"

Its kinda weird. everytime i go to bed, everyone stops posting shortly after...

I guess you're in a time-zone sweet spot.

((Okay, when we get back Grate's looking through mission summaries.))

Wyrm, need your post.
On a somewhat related note, I'm considering changing over to a regular weekly meeting on Roll20, for combat phases.
What's everyone's opinions on this?

Wouldn't work for me, I'd say. I much prefer a purely play-by-post format.

same for me, you know what problems I had with ragnarok(the forum game)

For the record, I too prefer PBP.

Agreed with GWG, though I would like to propose that we only send out those scouts who do not have families they are supporting. Just in case one of them catches a remnant of the plague, you see.

Good point.

Okay. Definitely check out Curbiston, we have a man trapped inside that hell. I say we go in person on this one, load our halberdiers and archers into our long boats in case the survivors degenerated into gangs of lawless scavenging thugs. If there's no law and order in the city, take the Keep and re-establish such; try to find Gunther, Count Arthur, the Rat, etc.;  also, we need to secure the valuables of the dead against those people who would take advantage of this tragedy to loot them all. In our treasury vault they should be safe until reclaimed. The county armoury must be emptied rather than falling into the wrong hands, too. This operation to ensure that the riches of Curbiston aren't plundered may take the whole month and multiple boat-loads, but in the mean time, sitting in the Keep symbolically establishes us as the new Count.

I'm not sure how long lawless thugs would last without anyone to thug upon. And no, I'm not sure if "thug" is a word. Still, sending armed people with the scouts is a sensible precaution...if nothing else, it's deterrence.
I also like how you explained that by looting the valuables, we would be protecting them from looters. Before we do that, though, we need to make sure that there isn't a legitimate local authority to protest...or at least that we store it in a different section of the vault.

Let's send our rangers beyond our borders with drovers to drive livestock to our pastures for safe-keeping, and they can send for a carter whenever they find a full granary in a ghost village. Unlike our town, in which we nearly starved because so many survived, the dead don't need to eat, so grain stores and roaming untended herds of livestock and horses should be scattered across hard-hit regions.

I agree, although as above we need to make sure that there isn't anyone alive with claims on the grain and livestock before taking it.

Let's lift our ban on refugees, but give them a little quarantine. If our rangers meet a community that has become too isolated by plague, let them know of our relatively strong community. All the expeditions would still be subject to short quarantines, too, but a hard winter tends to isolate people and essentially enforce its own quarantine on all victims, so I'm fairly sure the plague is gone.

Sounds good. I think that most carriers of the plague would have been dead/hiding after the winter, too, so that's good.
