He took comfort in Dalea’s closeness. Smilingly he asked, <strong>“What is the amount that you have asked the village to pay? They owe 500 gold pieces in back taxes. Asking them to pay it immediately is a little unfair, especially when it has been found that the fault lies in not sending tax collectors. This question impacts on the amount we are to collect from the village. Will it be the full 500gold pieces, or a more appropriate modest amount?</strong> <br/><br/>Then pausing as if in thought, he continues <strong>“Magimar has forgotten to send tax collectors, but has it forgotten other requirements as well, such as providing services such as law and order, and protection to the village?”</strong> Waiting for the answer, he ends with his last, at least for the moment. <strong>“Do you trust your brother-in-law to collect the tax and return to you with the taxes. The amount is quite substantial, especially for one representative to collect.”</strong> Studying their perspective employer, he awaits her answer.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sense Motive</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Result: Arcanist rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: Sense motive roll<br/>Result: 15, <br/>Total: 15</div></div><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>“I would be satisfied with some sort of payment plan,” Jeminda responded.  “So long as the principle is accounted for, I have no qualms with establishing an interest-bearing loan for repayment.  This isn’t an issue of fairness, but rather, it’s an enforceable contract presumed by annexation and treaty.  We have maintained our end of the treaty’s obligations, and now they must, too.”<br/><br/>“I do trust my brother-in-law,” Jeminda said after a moment of hesitation.  No one thinks anything of this hesitation, however, given the failed sense motive rolls.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=295821.msg14508960#msg14508960">Quote from: Zaer Darkwail on 15-11-2018, 05:34:57</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(https://www.wallpaperup.com/uploads/wallpapers/2013/06/10/100473/ec41bbc8e6403f0791dcd7a00801dea9-700.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Sir Valter "Val" Gates</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Charsheet</strong> (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1744065)  HP: 36; AC:23 (Combat Expertise +2, Shield of Faith+2)<br/><br/>Valter is sitting and listening their client answer questions, <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sense Motive Fail</div><div class="spoiler_body">13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=126504)</div></div> sensing something may had been amiss on the woman as it was asked what was her connection to her sister's husband. None the less hearing the questions given so far he adds to discussion; "I met pilgrim today who had been in Ravenmoor recently, they were preparing for a festival in there. But this year pilgrim felt odd sense of dread in the place as he visited the village and so he left before festivals even begun. So people go there and return, albeit now this case tax collector is reported being missing."<br/><br/>Turning attention to client he makes another question; "Besides missing taxes, what you can tell us about Ravenmoor? Village, it's people and trades they do?"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Damien asked three queetions, leaving us at three questions left.<br/><br/>Jeminda is not a historian, but a bureaucrat.  She is not familiar with Ravenmoor.  So, take what she says with a grain of salt:<br/><br/>1.  Ravenmoor is 300 miles away from hence, along the Lampback River.<br/><br/>2.  The village was only recently annexed by Magnimar.<br/><br/>3.  Its main export are wines.  These wines are actually world-renowned.<br/><br/>4.  The people of Ravenmoor are simple folks who worship Desna.<br/><br/>5.  One odd thing about Ravenmoor is that the people often keep stirges as pets.<br/><br/>6.  Ravenmoor is swampy and prone to flooding.<br/><br/>Now we have two questions left.
