The Eastern Marches Campaign
-
With respect, Apprentice, I do not believe it is a sound idea to have the fate of the entire realm's success in the war to be decided by only a fraction of the council.
I am sure that should your proposal would have been the one to receive less traction, you would have also made sure every vote was cast and asked for more time. Allow the same courtesy here as well and do not dismiss the voice of our fellow councilmen.
Signed,
Mordecai of House Cormaeril
Head of House Chapter in the region of Arabel
Commander of the Council of Twelve Peers
Past Characters:
- Hound
- Artieus Fireheart
- Doombringer Ezekiel Gideon
- Ignatius B. Pike, Apprentice of Kanthea
- Lord Mordecai of House Cormaeril, Champion of the Divine Right Siamorphe, Knight of the realm and ruler of Immersea

I have voted for the moderate plan, i clearly would prefer my own especially after the fellowship has offered to garrison the Shield Marches pass.
However, with the vote currently tipping towards beggaring the kingdom to bring about a situation that has virtually no benefit towards the war effort for the sake of the apprentice trying to make himself look iimportant and probably some underlying plot to enhance the influence of Mossmere i will vote for any otehr credible alternative and so Mordecai's plan has more votes than my own so i will place mine there.

Who else is left to vote Commander? To my knowledge the Crown Guard have not even taken a seat in the council.
I agree with the apprentice, let us move on from voting.
Skull Dominik Volkov
I'm quitting Barabus Fen, he was a character I made for the election and in retrospect I should have quit him after the result as you can only wander around insulting Verks clergy robes for so long before it gets old.
-
Someone find Finwick and tell him he's the new Crown Guard representative.

I've written to let him know he's the new reprentative

Dame Drakesbane,
whilst the issue of Volkov still remains, I suggest we suspend this vote.
If my allegations are correct, we cannot have a spy feeding our plans back to the enemy and therefore must not take any decision for now.
Ash
-
If you have something to accuse me of, then at least speak with me on the matter. 'The issue of Volkov' I am no spy, and I defy you to find any evidence that this is more than an assault upon a man because of his chosen faith, a faith I have a legal right to practice!
Skull Volkov
-
This has gone on long enough.
Dame Drakesbane I ask that the voting be ended. Despite being brough onto the council to vote Ash has not done so and has refused your instruction to vote
We cannot continually delay these matters.
Adrian
-
I belive the Guard representative has been given plenty of time to cast his vote, but he has chosen not to. I second the movement to end the voting.

I will give him one more day.

Dame Drakesbane
It’s folly to vote on this matter ahead of the trial. If Volkov is found guilty, will we push ahead regardless? Knowing full well the enemy know our plans?
Adrian is fulfilling the roll of petulant little spare; stamping his feet because he risks being deprived of his ward strengthening venture.
I implore you to realise that Adrian’s insistence that we forge ahead comes from a place of selfish ambition, not concern for the war effort.

I am in agreement with Iverlesk; to be paralysed by indecision gives your enemies time and advantage.
The actions of the Crown Guard representative in attempting to drive a wedge between the Skull's and our employers, along with his attempt to stall the Council motion for action, is even more suspicious than the note of dubious provenance that he planted upon my brother Skull, Volkov.
As the good Dame has seen fit to grant a further day, I extend the opportunity for others to follow Apprentice Iverlesk's fine example of cooperation and seek me out for civilised discourse.*

If you continue to delay I will have Immerdusk curb your pay, guardsman.

I do understand the Crownguard's concern that this plan might be leaked to the enemy, yet it is also true that indecision will not improve our standing in the war either.
Given the past history of the Obsidian Skull, namely the Obsidian Three, and their involvement in the revival of the Lich Dymiia I believe the Crownguard's concern is justified.
As I see it there are two options:
-
Proceed only after the trial is concluded, with its result impacting the plan we might take. If for example the Skull is to be found guilty then we will need to use a different plan
-
Proceed now with the vote and it the plan's execution without waiting for the results of the trial, but should the trial later reveal that Skull Volkov is indeed a spy - The Skulls contract itself from the Crown will receive a penalty
Those would be my own recommendations, but it is at the end the decision of Dame Drakebane on how to proceed.

I tire of this.
I will inform the archmage he has been hired.
- Dame Drakesbane
P.S: I will set a date for the operation soon.

I believe this will come at the cost of many lives and an inordinate amount of coin. But, a fair vote is a fair vote. My ballot, for what it is now worth, would have fallen in favour of following sound mind, Ser Cormaeril. Not a self interested fool such as Adrian.
If you see fit to dock my pay for doing the right thing, so be it. Put my pay towards something more useful than hiring a mage though please; perhaps it could go towards cutting new keys to the city gates to make it even easier for Obyn’s forces to get in?

Perhaps it should be spent on lessons in proper etiquette and protocol so you are able to correspond and converse with your betters in a more appropriate manner.

As it was entered after the choice was decided, I make a movement to remove the Crown Guards vote as he had plenty of time and waited too long to make his choice known. Patience is one thing, but delaying just drags things out. You had your chance, you chose not to take it.
