I've been through a lot of pain in this line of work... but I am never having another child." Karie remarks, shaking her head. "Nothing 'thespian' enough for you? Judging on what I just saw in the fields, Witch seems to be suiting you just fine for now," "We have more psychos than we do have to kill them," "Oh, no, I enjoy being a Witch, and there is something thespian enough for me, it's just Dyric Rone, Assassin of the Idiots screwed me over and now I'm stuck having to go off and fight dragons in order to get in the good graces with the Hinckwells again." Karie responds, clearly annoyed. "There's enough psychos in the hall as is. Speaking of, I met a demon worshipping, human sacrificing cleric a few months back in here. She's a "hero" here, too. Her name is Calamity." Quote

"We're a little low on that, what with Masson taking a leave of absence. Someone's got to be out making the coin to pay for food, and I doubt it's going to be Masson. At least not for a while. Or at least not until I can get some good words with the Hinckwells." Quote

I do not condone the Wolfgang either, but you have to admit they do have a few good ideas. Most importantly bringing down that damned Hovel Wall. Patricia Coulsand is headstrong and ignorant of the problems she faces. She has done an admirable job of reforming the watch, but in no way does that make her qualified to lead it."

K-Nut Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 "They're trying to tear down the Hovels Wall because they're grooming the people in there to be their soldiers. I have no sympathy for them." "Because the people in the walls are kept their by Coulsand and her goons. If you take a pot and try and block it up with a lid, eventually it will boil over, which is exactly what is happening with the Hovels. The Hovels are full of people who have nothing left to lose because clearly the rest of the city doesn't give a megabluck about them. The Wolfgang, however, is giving them the resources that have been kept from them for so long. Ulric claims that it's due to generosity, though it's just as likely bribery. "I'm not trying to justify the Wolfgang, but evidently something is wrong with how this city is run. If there were no problems, we wouldn't have this vocal of a revolt going on. The houses and the watch believe that ignorance is bliss when it comes to the Wolfgang, when it clearly is not. Something needs to be done, and soon," Quote
Endgame Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 "I don't fully disagree with you. I'm just saying you need to produce a solution beyond "offing Patricia", because putting the Wolfgang in charge is a death sentence to virtually everyone." Quote

I'm just saying you need to produce a solution beyond "offing Patricia", because putting the Wolfgang in charge is a death sentence to virtually everyone." "I'm not saying that 'offing' Coulsand is the solution. I don't know who is qualified among the watch, seeing as I'm not on the best of terms with them. Nor am I saying that the Wolfgang needs to be put in charge. The pride of the houses and of the watch make them believe that everything will be alright if they force the city to remain the same as it has been, and it is evidently not working. Times change, and so do we- no, so must we." Quote
Endgame Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 "Maybe we should just have that Vorpal dragon fellow come over here and conquer us, maybe we'd have a leader then." I quip. "These are pretty dismal times, you got that right..." Quote
