Imarë wrote:As for the instance with the Lord Chamberlin [GM: Chancellor], I did not believe he would, but I am not the one to tell you or anybody else what his motivations are therefore "unlikely".
Imarë wrote:On the horses, there seems to be only one route out of the city which would put them on the correct tract if they left in hot pursuit, out the Arren Gate and up the north road.
Imarë wrote:I think we had covered the possiblility of Sir Blors getting to the other side of the city in our last meeting, the only way beside the city would be to go far around, which would take time.
Imarë wrote:I believe that the tracks of the horses were off the road and behind the bushes. If the party were tracked and then attacked by a party from behind I would think the tracks of the horses would have been on the main road, not the thicket (although they might have been moved off the trail after the fight to prepare the graves etc).
Imarë wrote:The variation in number and type of coin is interesting. Have we heard the if the coins on Pelisas eyes were of one of the prior kingdoms? What about Sir Felkar?
Imarë wrote:The coin for the Baron seemed specific and would have to be planned ahead for.
Imarë wrote:I don't know if we had thought about the guard on Palisas building. He was murdered but was there evidence of a struggle or was the killing done quickly and quietly (like the stabbing of Slakka perhaps)?
Imarë wrote:Am I right or wrong in thinking that the attack on Slakka was the same night as the Baron being put in the stocks
Imarë wrote:If the pursuit thought is true, the Agrikans are in a prime position to both see the Baron run and the escape route goes by the arena, where horses could conceivably be kept?
Imarë wrote:Remember when we were watching the gate, the guards left the gate and went over the bridge to the square and appeared to be heading out of the city by the Arren gate.
Imarë wrote:They could live outside the gate
Imarë wrote:(plus, the arena would be a good place to keep somebody too, the cages are already there to keep animals and I am sure that it is not a quiet place, lots of screams and roars already. Is this a Roman type arena with fights between men to the death and executions and such or just animal/man/orc fights?).

Who are you referring to here, Dave? Not sure I followed this part...
Imarë wrote:Once all this has been done, that would leave, to our knowlege, the Morgathians and/or Agrikans. To a large extent they are not happy with royal government and would have no problem assailing anybody in power.
Imarë wrote:The fact that the Agrikans outside the city is of a different order than those that patrol the city may not be important.
Imarë wrote:Are there any manors or farms in the vicinity of the attack where a witness might be?
Imarë wrote:No one has answered about the possibility that the Baron of Quiso might also be a target and perhaps a warning to somebody would be in order (and if so, what to do).
Imarë wrote:Bevans relatives who are knights, were they involved in any actions anywhere near Golotha in the wars? Were they involved in supressing the rebellion?
Imarë wrote:Of what importance is the death of Pelisa, why was the key jamed into her mouth but the others had coins and no keys. Any idea of her backround?
After Sir Hadas took some of the Golotha garrison to the defense of Shostim, the remnants of the Agrikan fighting orders – many of whom had been in hiding – reentered the city, joined those already there, and with the help of forces loyal to the Earl of Tormau from Henwe, clashed with the legionnaires in the streets of the city. The hard-pressed legionnaires took refuge in Caer Chaftar where they were safe, but with less than 200 effectives.
The Haleans were given back their seat as was the Agrikan Order of Mamaka, which had not, in theory, participated in the revolt.
The Earl of Tormau, seeing his numerical superiority would not help him as much in the narrowness of the neck, put his best knights in front, promising baronies to the ones that distinguished themselves best, and an earldom for the one that killed Arren, “the whelp of the murderer of good King Chafin.”
King Arren II returned to Golotha, and consulted with the Lady Marliese Tansel, the Laranian Bishop of Perinore and his Chancellor of the Exchequer, as well as the Earl of Daenshire who rode from Coranan. With the new Earl of Westmarch in agreement, the King rescinded his decree abolishing the Heptarchial Council and reinstated its ancient privileges. ... The Morgathians would be allowed their traditional privileges, but with a Royal constable in Caer Chaftar. The King appointed Sir Hadas to the post.
Imarë wrote:Would Sir Baris be familiar with how nobles are taxed? Could this have been an annual tax payment? One line in the song: 'A tribute due, to his subjects rue, form the lord of each hold and hill'. Does not answer why the money was moving at night, but it has been put forth that Sir Felkar might have been stealing it.
Ewen wrote:I am assuming that Arren II's proclamation of religious freedom had been made early after his ascending the throne, but even so it appears that the Agrikans were operating covertly until the rebellion.
Ewen wrote:There is no mention of Quste or Quiso until the account of the aftermath, when they are pardoned. I presume that these two baronies were vassals of the Earl of Tormou, and thus fought with him.
Ewen wrote:My thoughts on Quiso stem from Cheryl's theory regarding Quste, that the Morgathians (or M/A alliance) were extorting money from him following his betrayal of their cause. The rebellion began in the month of Larane, and we were told by Pix that the Baron travelled to Golotha once per year. Perhaps the extortion money was to be paid on each anniversary of the failed rebellion.
Dave wrote: I wonder what the Barons religous convictions were, this could have been a contribution to a temple or a payment to get back in after the unpleasantness. If it were known that he was paying this amount that would be an answer to who would have had information. If it is one of the churhes we are suspecting it would explain why he was scared when it was intercepted. We have all seen what happens when the Agrikans don't like you and I am sure the Morgathians are at least as bad. There is the connection between the guildmaster of the Lia Kavair and one of the more important Morgathians. We learned from Slakka that the guildmaster is the one who set the robbery up. Anybody think there is a possible link here?
Ewen wrote:I am not really suggesting going to warn Baron Quiso, but wondering whether he made annual sojourns to the city as well. If he does, I would imagine a limited number of places he would stay, the Bridgetower being suitably upscale, for instance.
Ewen wrote:Thus the account has the Earl of Daenshire (Sir Auram's boss) consulted regarding the disposition of the city post-rebellion, but it is unclear from the wording whether the Earl of D's council was congruent with the Earl of Westmarch, whose point of view evidently won the day.
Imarë wrote:I believe we checked at the College of Heralds for the three mascles and if there were any guilds which used that sign. Did we ever go into the religious aspects of this?
Imarë wrote:Does anybody use any mascles that we know of in any amount?
Imarë wrote:Any feedback from the GM about the parctice of tithing here on Harn (that we would know about, we have some religious people in the group, they may have some idea).
