Log of the 463rd Session of the High Council of Britannia.

DaKaren: Welcome to the 463rd session of the High Council of Britannia.
DaKaren: The moonstone of Wrong is in the Crown's custody, and the threat of the Hierophant of Order has ended.
DaKaren: However, there are two more stones still out there and I am confident one will resurface imminently.
Martyna Z'muir: Curse you.
DaKaren: The Timelord had Dupre lead an expedition in Felucca this last weekend to gather rubies from an Akalabethian crypt.
Nevahs Blazefire: Decorum.
DaKaren: I have been told it was a somewhat harrowing experience, albeit successful.
DaKaren: Hopefully, the required emerald and diamond are to be found in less troublesome locales. *smirks*
John: The door, Nevhas.
John: Close the door behind him.
John: Close the door Nevhas.
John: Nevhas.
John: Close the damn door. Thank you.
Polynikes of Yew: Sorry for my tardiness.
John: *sighing and shaking his head*
Tanda: *looks up at John*
DaKaren: D.E.C.O.R.U.M.
DaKaren: Grand Marshal Polynikes, would you please brief the Council on military matters in the Kingdom?
Polynikes of Yew: We are getting an increase in reports of attacks on citizens in several cities.
Polynikes of Yew: I will be increasing patrols and want to start increased training for the BAF.
Polynikes of Yew: I will need to get specific reports from anyone who has suffered an attack.
Polynikes of Yew: That is all I have for the council at this time.
DaKaren: Thank you, Grand Marshal.
DaKaren: Councilor Kivlov, does the Township of Newcastle have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Guntur Kivlov: I can say that we have not had any reports of attacks within Newcastle
Guntur Kivlov: I am troubled over the reports of Willa being assaulted however.
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Guntur Kivlov: We will continue to be on guard for these attacks.
Guntur Kivlov: I knew it was only a matter of time before these attacks began again.
Guntur Kivlov: Do we have proof that these men are some of Von Karl's Harriers?
Dot Warner: Definite.
Guntur Kivlov: *nods*
Guntur Kivlov: Well... it was only a matter of time
Guntur Kivlov: I have nothing more to report, and yield to the Chancellor.
Guntur Kivlov: Thank you.
DaKaren: *nods*
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.
John: Nevhas, door.
DaKaren: Councilor Knighthawke, does the city of Minoc have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Tanda: There have been rumors and rumblings
Tanda: about issues with labor
Tanda: in Minoc
DaKaren: Labor?
Tanda: I don't know any more yet
Tanda: miners and lumberjacks
Tanda: that sort of thing
DaKaren: Ah
Tanda: I will have to ask around
Tanda: and see what is up
DaKaren: *nods*
Tanda: Other than that until the Royal council meeting we've been well
Tanda: and quiet
Tanda: since the spirits were put down
Tanda: that's all
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.
DaKaren: Councilor Warner, does the City of Britain have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Dot Warner: Oh, boy.. Do I...
Dot Warner: Britain is doing well, considering the city is still recovering from the recent machine attack.
Dot Warner: I question whether or not "Balance" has been restored by their defeat, or if we have yet to see the full repercussions of Calithiss' actions.
Dot Warner: Only time will tell.
Kittie: .
Dot Warner: There is more than 148 million gold in the city coffer, though precious little to spend it on.
Dot Warner: *looks at notes and drums fingernails on the table*
Dot Warner: Two more things...
Dot Warner: First, I believe the High Court should issue a kingdom-wide warrant for Belaern Dinoryn.
Dot Warner: I submit Britain's warrant for such an elevation.
Dot Warner: Second, I want the Light Horse Mercenaries declared Enemies of State.
Dot Warner: No... Not want... Demand.
DaKaren: *arches a brow*
Dot Warner: Hmm. Were High Justicar von Bayer still around, the matter would be simple.
Kittie: *blinks*
DaKaren: *sighs, nodding*
Guntur Kivlov: I will second the motion.
DaKaren: While I can issue temporary warrants, they must be ratified by the court.
DaKaren: *looks to Minister Hla-ate*
DaKaren: Fortunately, Minister Hla-ate may be temporarily appointed as High Justicar under Article V, section 4, subsection G.
Martyna Z'muir: That's...scary.
Malag aste: Oh is it now?
Martyna Z'muir: *smirks*
DaKaren: Should the Council agree, of course.
DaKaren: Let us put it to a vote once reports are complete.

Tanda: relax
Thom Jameison: *smirks*
John: *shaking head*
Thom Jameison: That is all I have for the Council at this time.
DaKaren: *nods slowly*
DaKaren: Very.. uhm.. generous.
John: Who closed the door. It was not me and seemingly it was not Nevhas.
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.
John: Who closed the door?
Tanda: ghosts
Guntur Kivlov: *looks around carefully*

Bradley: Shadows, perhaps?
Goldie: I heard of the attacks
Goldie: at Royal council
Dot Warner: *grumbles*
Goldie: My first two weeks in office have been peaceful
Goldie: But my friend Cobweb was attacked buying fish at the docks
Goldie: She I am sure will give you a report later, but I know her lantern hmm
DaKaren: In New Magincia?

Nevahs Blazefire: Augus Luminos
Nevahs Blazefire: Augus Luminos

Goldie: as you know Lord Earlahd Todie is still not surfaced
PabII: Augus Luminos
Martyna Z'muir: Erelonia
Goldie: That is all I have to report
John: That will work.
Martyna Z'muir: We should be safe,
John: *said to Martyna*
John: By the door librarian.
John: Of course, that assumes it has not moved.
John: Not a safe assumption.
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.

DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.
DaKaren: Councilor Kittie, does the city of Moonglow have anything to bring before the Council this eve?

Kittie: *she growled under her breath* .. and made threats upon me and my city.. Moonglow is doing well. The coffers continue to grow and a meeting is to be held on Friday.
Kittie: *sniffs the air slightly, growling* ..
Kittie: *She bore her fangs as she did momentarily, before bringing it back a bit* ...
Malag aste: *quirks a brow*
John: what do you smell Governor....
Kittie: Erm.. there will also be a .. gala..
Kittie: Sm-smell?..
John: You are reacting to something Governor.
Kittie: I ..

Malag aste: I can smell it over here.
John: Thank you for mentioning it before now.
PabII: humm
Kittie: *she looked to Malag rapidly.. then to John* .. I .. you don't..
John: No. I can only speculate as to how Malag can.
Tanda: We human haven't such senses
John: You clearly have some cat characteristics, hence your name,
Tanda: not as keen
John: but I am not sure about how Malag can.
John: And it matters not.
Martyna Z'muir: *sighs*
John: At any rate, please continue, I apologize for the interruption.
Malag aste: Well when you live in a world of darkness your other senses become... stronger.
Kittie: My name? .. it's, perhaps .. we can.. discuss it later? ..
John: Ah. *to Malag, softly but audibly*
John: Surely Governor. I apologize for the interruption. *again, softly but audibly*
DaKaren: Let us try to maintain decorum...
DaKaren: Please do continue, Councilor Kittie.
Kittie: *shakes it off a moment* .. It's, it's quite alright. I .. erm.. I mean to only ask the other Governors if they wish to join in on the merriment that is to be the Garden Gala and Faire. There are judges needed and I can think of no

Tanda: *smiles*
Thom Jameison: *smiles*

Malag aste: I feel we need to set about looking for applications to the Court.
DaKaren: *nods*
Malag aste: So we can get some new Justicars elected soon.
Malag aste: Other than that I am in agreement that this group of pirates needs to be placed on the Enemies of State.
Malag aste: And I would hope that we return to having some training of the BAF soon.
Malag aste: Other than that I don't have anything else for the council.
