The Plague of the Murrain
-
You make demands but offer us nothing in return.
Not even a guarantee the courts will prevent this Bloody Baker attacking our lands again, This is twice she has given church backing to those who have worked against the Duke, First Grete after the Caravan Attack and then Kincaid the Traitor.
Perhaps try negioating instead of barking demands Toussaint,

This debate is pointless.
Their crimes were committed before they swore fealty to Tilverton, thus are not covered by their convenient citizenship.
They have one week to turn themselves in. After that, the Murrain are to be hunted down.

Adam Whitlock called one of the council to discuss. He is now an Official of the Church of Talona from Tilverton. He claims the plague was an unfortunate event they were attempting to stop, that Slurg sacrifice himself for it, but ultimately their attempt failed. Adam will be taking his seat at the council soon, being an official recognized by a Church of the Country of Arabel, in Tilverton.
Pierre, you damned moron, why did you not lead with this in the beginning?

If this is true, then I shall resign in protest. I was willing to work with Pierre even after his repeated thuggery, but I will not sit with someone that murdered a friend. Till there is justice for Meg, this council is a farce.
Elora
-
Councilor Ydira, does this mean you had the chance to speak with Adam? And if so, has he sworn off his allegiance with the Murrain?

Because last I knew the shrine had not yet been completed.
Also matters of clergy are from the church itself and not the duchy of Tilverton.
So basically I had nothing to do with this.
Pierre of the Black Chalice
-
While the guidelines say that official clergy are offered a seat, they also say there are exceptions. I for one think that being a murderer should be one of those exceptions.
Elora
-
I'd argue they didn't murder Meg
She's dead. Yes. But she was spying on them. For enemy forces in a time of war.
They killed an enemy agent.
Much like I expect the house of the morning would kill someone if it was discovered they were being spied on

Let us be quite clear, if Adam turns himself in, the only seat we should be considering him for is whatever stool is put in his cell.

The King's edict is quite clear.
If he doesn't foreswear the Murrain, he shall be hunted down and killed.
And he shall not receive a council of 12 position.

P.S:
The High Council is presently pretending there is no shrine of Talona in Tilverton. Ergo, the city doesn't recognize his claim to being a ranking member of Talona's Clergy.

How about we just put them in some form of debt to the city for the damage the plague caused and have them work it off?
It's not like there aren't numerous threats they could be pointed at.
Pierre of the Black Chalice
-
Has anyone got any other Ideas?
If not I suggest we just go with the penal service.
If no one chips in by tomorrow I'll announce it.
Pierre of the Black Chalice
-
Penal service is acceptable. Force them to make amends for their crimes by serving the people they harmed, and put their feet onto the path towards the Light. I've already taken personal steps towards such, as I won right of demand through duel. The redeeming light of Lathander shines even in the darkest of corners, but sometimes the afouled must be forced to take those first steps.

@v-rage said in The Plague of the Murrain:
If not I suggest we just go with the penal service.
Agreed.

Seems a fair few of us are in agreement.
I have a fair few ideas they could work on.
They have powerful druids, They could aid with Hillmarch defeating the planar beings and helping locate the elementals needed for Misas wardings.
As Talonites they could work on a deadly ritual to kill the thralls of the beholders in the Helmlands.
Pierre of the Black Chalice

I suppose we should put this to a vote though
Regulations to be followed and all
Pierre of the Black Chalice
-
These are the same group who have murdered several people, yes?
-Sunny
-
They killed a spy the House of the Morning had sent into their ranks, had a case of mistaken idenity with another Lathanderite and killed an enemy soldier during a war who was then raised from the dead.
These have since been pardoned by the House of the Morning since the war has ended
This however concerns them making amends for the plague golem that wandered towards the city and made people sick and a few died.
I believe Penal service to make amends is the best option here
